Need old pda asap
Looking at something like a Treo 700wx, old,
NO TOUCH SCREEN, camera.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Re: From a security standpoint
Nice to know.. I figure'd they take at least some interest in it. I believe CALEA compliance has to be injected somewhere into this. Until then I suspect many communications personnel employed by black-market organizations will have these on pre-order.
From a security standpoint
I like it. This is fine with the FCC?
Screens?
Would anyone comment as to whether or not the screens on these are durable?
Thanks
Re: Did you mean brick and mortar???
HA, I came here to ask if that was a new term for IRL stores.
no more google rumors!
I'm SO glad google was outbid on this.
Re: Downgrade Question
Is that a color screen I see??
Thanks, I was thinking older, like a Nokia 918
or Microtacs or Startacs, the oldest you can activate.
Re: Downgrade Question
Thanks for all the replies. Is there a date I can go by? Not before such n such? Some of the phones ppl posted look new, and a few candybars that might work. Any plain, bulky, single green on green screen flip phones out there?
Re: Prepaid iPhones!
Because they're a lot more likely to activate high end smartphones and pda's on prepaid accounts than your average prepaid customer.
Re: Prepaid iPhones!
1- Drug dealers have more money than you, and DO get pda/smartphones on prepay somehow, even on providers that disallow data on prepay.
2. No phone is unlockable.
3. Drug dealers and hackers should form a business, hackers unlock the phone and drug dealers get them activated somehow.
Downgrade Question
What's the oldest phone I could get Verizon to activate? I know it needs that e911/gps feature since like 02 or 03 or so, but what's like the absolute oldest phone I could activate through them?
Thanks
iPhone on time?
Did anyone hear anything about the iPhone not meeting some shipping deadline last week? :(
where's their fcc filing?
Shouldn't we have sar w/kg ratings and other info by now if it really launches in June?
Call Origination?
I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I received a call from a number that showed up as unavailable, I answered, there was a beep & I hung up. I checked the call history & it showed up as 0. I'm aware of caller-id spoofing services but they must still use 10 digits. I called CS and they in turn called a supervisor from a tech group, who conferenced in someone oncall, we spoke briefly & ...
Re: moving.. service, # questions.

moving.. service, # questions.
Greetings everyone, my first time posting in the boost section. Just have a few questions..
I've been working alot (setting up fiber) in the Ashland, KY area but my current cell is thru vzw. Their service here is non existent, seriously.. sometimes my phone can't even display the time up here(?!). I was hoping to just get a prepaid phone, and the majority (read: everyone w/ a cell) uses nextel. I was thinking of getting a boost prepaid since I ...
Re: NO FLASH WITH VIDEO!!!
:) okay okay my bad!
I am interested in knowing if the 670 really allows the LED "flash" to stay lit for video tho.
Re: NO FLASH WITH VIDEO!!!
WTF good would a 1/10th of a second long flash do when recording video???? Have you EVER seen a camcorder with a flash option???? Do you honestly think a fraction of a second flash is going to illuminate whatever is in front of the camera for 15 seconds somehow? You state that the a670's flash works for video even though common sense tells everyone that this isn't so. Unless you're taking a single frame still image the flash is ...
Re: So, is the LG VX 7000 really coming out on the 15th?
So... u still holding onto that launch paper?
:lol:
Re: QuickLink mobile
I'm not sure how good the software is as I have never used it, but I really appreciate you posting this. Nice looking out :wink:
Thanks
Re: New responce from Audiovox
I'm sorry.
I've said the same thing in the 7000 forum but people insist otherwise. There are no new phones being promoted for Father's Day, which gets rid of any June 15th assumptions. As for the 25th, it's on a Friday. Engineers would not launch a new service on a Friday unless its been tested 100%, gone over with a fine tooth comb, and been selectively deployed internally for at least a month as we all know how much being ...
Re: So, is the LG VX 7000 really coming out on the 15th?
We'll see the 25'th. 8)
Re: How many pictires??
"save up to 31 videos and 200 photos"
was taken from:
http://us.lge.com/Product/proddetail .do?action=mobile&prodId=VX7000&categoryId=04 01
I'd assume they're using low-res to get those numbers for marketing though
Re: So, is the LG VX 7000 really coming out on the 15th?
It positively wont be. I wouldn't listen to anyone that said it's coming out on the 25th either.
Nothing New
:cry:
Wont be any new phones out before Father's Day... Let's hope for July 13th.

Re: I thought the 25th?
a release date of the 15th would mean we'd know about it within the next few days, if not last week.
Re: 9900 and 7000
barring some unforseen nationwide shipping incident, supposedly.
Anyone get a Verizon yet bill this month?
Was there a flyer in it?? There's a post on HOFO that a flyer was sent with bills, which has on it release dates for several phones. Can anyone confirm?

Re: Cell Phones and Mac OSX
I know... you're a mac user and you dont care to know all the behind the scenes stuff. However, you can do anything with OSX u can with any other unix system. You can open up a terminal window and compile the opensource version of BitPim and use it like anyone else. they may even have an OSX native version.

Re: Setting up Prepaid Phones TRUTH
"You run the risk of having your service disconnected and your ESN 'red flagged' by FRAUD as STLN if you download from GIN with prepay"
this either isn't policy, or there is more to it.
????
Re: Setting up Prepaid Phones
I'm sorry, but someone has something wrong here. Verizon does *not* (i've been told this with an vx6000 in my hand at lima, OH verizon store) GIN (GET IT NOW) phones to be used on their freeup service, as people were getting too much free stuff off it. if you don't know what GIN is i have a hard time believing you when you say that verizon reps can lookup make/model of phone by the ESN, as many people ...
Re: Setting up Prepaid Phones
Question.
Would VZW even be able to tell what kind of phone it is if you activated it yourself? Sure you have to give them the ESN but do they have the ability to tell the make/model of the phone just by the ESN? I've heard of freeup customers activating GIN phones without verizon knowing.... which would lead one to assume they can't.
?
Thanks
Re: VZ Coverage Locator --FCC Database of towers
You don't need the company name, you dont even need a city, the search functions with as little information as just the state you're interested in.
Re: Any new info?
Here's a scan of the pamphlet for the 9900.
Scanners suck, but u get a good view of the phone, and several menu shots:

If your on a slow connection and the pic is taking 2 weeks to load, u might as well wait....
Re: VZ Coverage Locator --FCC Database of towers
This wont tell you if you're going to be within your home service area, but it can show you if you'll get a verizon signal, or a signal from any other carrier on your phone. I think the site is cool (but im a nerd), it references the FCC database of every wireless towers in America and has their longitude, latitude, elevation, street address, next closest tower, etc. Pretty cool.

Re: LG Vx7000
uummm the a680 right?
I have no idea, it's personal preference. I'm getting the 7000, but to each his own. I have heard release dates pushed about the a680 tho.. not sure if they're any more credible than the ones on the 710, but good luck anyway.
Re: LG Vx7000
I haven't heard a word about them yet,
but radioshack has accessories for it, not just chargers and data cables that can also be used with other lg products, but leather cases customized JUST FOR the vx7000:
http://www.radioshack.com/product. asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=17-392
one would think it wouldn't be too much longer if replacement and leather cases are coming in stores.
Re: BOW to The Alchemist - He Knows Everything!!!
And moron, even if it was a private company..
it would still have shareholders. Just because a company is not public does not mean it does not have board members and PRIVATE shareholders/investors.
