Re: CAN I JUST USE THE $15 WEB PACKAGE?
OMFG......like $400+ FOR THAT PHONE UNLOCKED..... :roll:
You're surprised?????? If you buy if through ATT via a 2 year contract it's $299.99 (minus $50.00 mail in rebate) IF you get the PDA plan with it.....
You can, and I can atest to this...... purchase it outright for the OMFG $400+ if you have a 15.99 medianet plan (unlimited) and use it.....
The connection point is the same as for phones that don't come with a full web browser...... just don't ...
Re: Another great phone NOT going to T-Mobile...Sigh
This phone, according to the specs submitted to the FCC wouldn't work on T-Mobile using 3G.... Since T-Mobile has announced it will be using 1700mHZ for it's 3G, this phone uses 850/1900 mHZ 3G which would put it under AT&T's umbrella.....
Perhaps, HTC will, I'm sure they are probably negotiating with T-Mobile for their new 3G phones, release a version for the "other guys" too.
Re: Iphone Reviews are spot on
Call the stores that sell them & see if that HOLDS TRUE??????
Anybody, with a reasonable BRAIN, would send this garbage back as quickly as the crap came out the box........
Yes it has some nifty stuff, but are all it's limitations, unavailable features(most you find on even basic phones, the abscence of AD2P, etc....etc....etc..... really going to make you want to keep this phone at the end of the day??????
I haven't bought one, probably WON'T unless they straighten out a ...

Re: Iphone Reviews are spot on
It sounds "Perfectly" like that over hyped, non fully functional piece of crap Apple calls the iPhone....... iPhoney would be a far more accurate description!!!!!!! We wouldn't have to "troll" if they were more realistic people in the world, rather than the "MINDLESS", "NUMB", NEANDERTHALS who actually wasted their time & money on an over priced web-browser!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheesh..... have you heard of Opera?????? You want a good browser that will Perform in a phone that CAN PERFORM...... Apple is ...
Re: Iphone Reviews are spot on
I don't own the phone, and probably WON'T!!!! Yes it has some very appealing qualities, but they are far over shadowed by it's inadequacies & things the phone should do, but doesn't. If you're going to tout the phone as revolutionary, it should at least be able to manage what most phones it is challenging can do & add to that..... With this guy, you get some nice savvy stuff, and some real disappointments.......

I'm still Yawning & LAUGHING..............at all the MORONS who actually rushed out to buy this HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.......

Re: oh yeah...and no...
I beg to differ with you...... OLD GSM "SIMS" do work in the 3G phones, you just can't access the 3G network....... However, in my phone(much better than this over priced, under devoloped piece of sh##) I can select to use GSM ONLY, and the OLD SIM will work with NO PROBLEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all of the "Retards" who actually went out and stood in line for HOURS, maybe even 1/2 a day, or so, you have my SYMPATHY..........really.... you got ...

Re: concerning the data plan and pricing
"wi-fi" doesn't cost you diddly.........
It's like accessing you're wireless router from a laptop or pc with a wireless card in it.
If you go to a "HotSpot" (T-Mob) they will make you pay to access their wireless network, and also other "Pay" wireless networks, but you're own wireless router...........is yours....why would you be paying??????
MediaNet or Other content that is accessed via Edge/Gprs/UMTS(3G as it's sometimes called) all a routed via the phone & it's appropriate band.........

Re: no Insurance offered by cingular
You'll find that Cingular is NOT offering insurance on ANY PDA or SMARTPHONE. They are not going against their policies (or their insurance carriers policy) with this phone.

I've heard, it may already being installed & testing will begin shortly. It was projected to be in place around the end of 2006- but history with cingular shows it's usually LATE!!!!!!

Re: Which Bluetooth Headset?
I asked this in another thread, but will ask again, hoping to get closier to solving my questions.....
I have 3 Motorola bluetooth headsets. HS850, HS820, & H500...... My question, or problem.... with all three headsets......when I answer my phone (incoming call) the callers report hearing a "noise" (electronic in nature) before they hear my voice......... I've tried it myself, uses someones cellphone to dial my own, and answer it with the bluetooth headset, and it's there........
Anyone experience anything similar......or ...
Re: Bluetooth Issues?????
Switchfront,
Thanks...........
I've actually tried the following headsets (which have worked well on my other phones with bluetooth), Moto HS850, HS820 & H500....
With all three doing the same thing, it would seemingly point to "my phone"......however, I've asked a few buddies who have this phone, and they claim it occurs with theirs as well, but not all the time........
The "noise" is an electronic sounding noise, that appears to be as the phone is passing the call to the bluetooth device......it is ...
Bluetooth Issues?????
I'm using a Motorola H500 & HS850...... when I'm using bluetooth answering the incoming call, the person on the other end reports a "noise" before they hear me....... I tried it myself and both of them do it......
I'm wondering, has anyone else had similar problems?
Is there a fix for it?
Is there anyone using bluetooth devices to answer calls and NOT having the noise issue, if so.......what device are you using????
I need something that has good sound, LONG battery/talk time ...
Re: MP3's
Great!!!!!!
If .wav files can be used, they may also be used for ringtones as well I have a hunch, if that's the case, the only drawback I see, is that the .wav files will be larger than an .mp3 due to no compression.........
That, in my book, would make them easier to work with....... and IMHO better sound quality....
I'll give it a try when I get "the phone"......

Re: why wouldn't you share unlock codes?
Being selfish can be GOOD in some cases.....
With respect to posting unlock codes, these codes are specific to blocks of IMEI's.....
If you get the Wrong Code, enter it more than 5 times "unsuccessfully" (phone isn't unlocked)....it will LOCK your phone, and the only way to unlock it, is with software & a cable......
Be careful......everything isn't quite as simple as it would appear......

Re: MP3's
Thanks.......My friend has the phone, I kind of thought it was something like saving them to a certain file.........but didn't really get a chance to play around with his phone for very long......
I also know about the size, I usually cut about a 20-30 sec. clip and then copy that to the directory where the ringtones are kept. On most phones it's sounds or sound clips........
vpu2....OUT!!!!
Re: Media Net or Data Plan
They will probably recommend an unlimited MediaNet package......especially if you're going to be using the network a lot.......
I believe most devices that don't actively synchronize with a network (blackberrys DO) should be able to get away with using MediaNet as data is transmitted over the gsm channel along with voice and sms...........
Blackberry's utilize the data channel, and it is added to the accound first, then the voice plan..........
Hope that helps....

Can you set them as ringtones, alarm alerts, message alerts....etc....etc....etc..????

Re: Questions........
dclokc,
I'm guessing you have T-mob??????
Another question I had, I've heard that if you get T-mob's unlimited Internet, you can also get unlimited texting, unlimited MMS & my friend says you can use the Wifi for free at T-mobs HOTSPOTS.......is that true as well???????
Last question, some on this forum have bashed this phone for sounding "tinney" to the person who is receiving the call, anyone had this experience?????
Questions........
My friend has this phone from T-mobile, I've checked it out, but I'm told the cingular version has more quirks...... like the keypad doesn't light up....... wifi is slower.... can't run applications more than one at a time or you'll run into memory issues.......
If I've left anything else out....please advise in your responses.......
How would you rate this phone........????
Thanks,

Re: firmware
I'm SURE........that's what their telling YOU!!!!!!
I'm also sure......that all the "unbranded" nokia 6682's that were sent to customers during the firmware problem period.......was a violation of that contract...........but THEY WERE sent.............I've seen at least a dozen.............maybe more, that were sent from nokia, in response to phones that were having firmware issues...........

Re: Firware 4.62.0..........................Anyone having any PROBLEMS????
Before the new firmware came out, nokia was replacing the phone with "unbranded" phones.....
They were "white" instead of silver.....but I have not heard complaints from that phone, unlike this one...........
vpu2....OUT!!!!
Re: firmware
NO.................not directly!!!! But, if you send the phone to nokia (assuming it's under warranty), I believe they are replacing the phones with "unlocked" (unbranded) ones...meaning no cingular firmware..........
I would confirm that with nokia.....prior to sending in your phone though.....

Re: 6682 for sale...

Re: Firware 4.62.0..........................Anyone having any PROBLEMS????
I've had 2 phones with the new firmware......

Firware 4.62.0..........................Anyone having any PROBLEMS????
I've had my phone with the new 4.62.0 firware for a little over a week now, and the first "couple" days..........were uneventful.
In the last few days, Ive had numerous "white screens".......most seem to be when I'm in bluetooth, but a couple seem related to moving from one application to another.......

Complain to a manager that you've been playing the "musical phone" game, are tired, and if they don't have a way to tell the new firmware phones from the old ones, then they need to come up with a different plan, you don't want to keep wasting time with a revolving cellphone door to get what you should have gotten the FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!
