Drunk said: Ok, I see how this is news... but not so much news to me because I don't live there and I don't have as much sympathy for them. I can't afford an iphone so it doesn't pertain to me. If it doesnt pertain to you, oh well. I am sure there are people out there who care. I live in Colorado & it interested me. Your comment was unnecessary.

Ok that is understandable. I know that TMO has been having issues getting their 3g launched. My friends and boyfriend work there and its all that people complain about. Unfortunately, I am making the switch to them, so hopefully this wont have a big impact on me. I am willing to sacrifice for that awesome employee plan

How is it that you managed to mess things up so much within such a short timespan? My advice, FIX YOUR CREDIT. Getting a company to simply write it off isn't gonna work. Most companies have the policy- You made the debt, now you can pay for it. Trying to write off a bill shouldn't ...

I love the S500i because it has the video tones. I recorded clips of the corresponding music video and used my ringer as the audio track. Edited them with my video software on the phone. Its kinda cool.

I really like having video ringtones. I would love it if I could easily find phones that support this... :)

Not ALL spam messages are from people giving out their mobile so freely. Stop lashing out at people for this, as it doesn't apply is all cases. Did it every occur to you that some of the spam is from the mobile numbers being recycled? The spam messages could originate from the previous subscriber or the subscriber before them. Chill out....

New question...

So it seems like the Pearl is the most reccomended for me. Now here is my question: Do I have to have the data package? I dont need it. I work from home. No need for email forwarding. No need for internet usage. Nice screen and camera are the importnat things for me. Pearl seems to be a good idea since I text alot.

Lets see... After 4 years, it all adds up... Treated me like crap. Expected me to take care of the world. I was used to it, doing my husbandly duties. Over the last year of the relationship, it all fell apart. The things that caused it to be over are the following: Moved me to Miami for his job & family, just to have to move back 3 months later. This cost me about 3k. Then he quit his job & ...

Hardly. I was able to successfully cancel my ex's line, which was on MY account, when he died. No ifs, ands, or buts. Thankfully I had him listed as an authorized user. May the douche rot in hell... :twisted:

The cracking keys WAS an issue, but is supposed to have been fixed by now. and mainly it was in the NON-walkman verion, the S500i. I am a victim of this plight. Lemme tell ya... Cracked keys or not, this phone is STILL awesome.

The curve is too large for my taste. Size is also a factor. I used to have an 8525, and I loved it. Its bulky size and crappy camera made me ditch it. Say I decide that I dont want to do data, like email and such. Would you still recommend the Pearl? or should I go with something else?

So... I am looking to upgrade & I think I am losing my way. This has never happened to me before. I usually see one phone & buy it. But now I am at a standstill! I am trying to find a decent phone with a 2mp camera (or a REALLY good 1.3) & at least 10 mb of storage. I have PLENTY of contenders & price is definately a factor. I dont want to spend more than $250. ...

If you have settled on these three, I would go with the W580i. The W580i has a good camera, walkman software & is easy to navigate. The Shine is difficult to navigate with the tiny joystick. It doesnt have a traditional DPad like other phones. Also, the phone keypad locks randomly while you are using the phone. I found these 2 factors to be quite frustrating when using the phone. The A737 doesnt have as good camera or screen. I suggest ...

Re: dropped calls???
Jan 24, 2008, 10:06 PM
in the AT&T forum

Well, from what I understand... More towers in the same place can do good. It increases call volume capability & clarity. More reception means better quality & lessens the chance to drop calls. For instance, I know there are 3 towers really close to where I live (which are quite noticeable structures). I get GREAT reception. From what I have learned along the way is that they lay them out kinda like a honeycomb. Sometimes they overlap alot to ...

Well, depends on where you are. Each place may have different rates of dropped calls. Some carriers work better than others based on such factors as geography, weather conditions & what not. You might want to ask people in your area if they have good service & how the quality is.

So after discussing a recent experience with Blumpelstiltskin, I decided I needed to tell people about the previous experience leading to our discussion... So let it be known that I upgrade every 4-6 months. I only upgrade direct every 12-18 months. So I am a bit early for my upgrade. Called to get the price on a Shine. Rep bent over backwards to give me a price that was WELL below what was being offered on the website. Documented and ...

Understood. My apologies if my posts seem... self righteous. Yes, I DID call myself the white cellular knight. Yes, this DOES sound like I have a big head. But I cant really help it. When I go to a store and my friends or their coworkers are looking at me to subtly give them the answer, you kinda get a big head about these sorts of things. You are totally right, the internet is a terrible medium for moods ...

I have made it a point in my life to know all that there is about AT&T. I used to be QUITE active on this board and would spend hours a day chatting it up with the “ole-timers” about the old AT&T/Cingular/New AT&T. Due to ...

So I decided to go to an AT&T COR store in my area to have a look at the LG Shine in person. It was not busy at all except for me and 1 other customer. While looking at the shine, I overheard the other salesperson being a total tard & not doing their job very well. Providing FALSE tech specs right and left and just being a total tard. Here is a rough breakdown... Lady: I just need a ...

1900MHZ in Colorado
Jan 22, 2008, 2:48 PM
in the AT&T forum

So when I buy a new phone, I ALWAYS make sure it has the 850 band. Finally a phone has caught my eye that doesnt have the 850 band. I want to make sure I will not be shooting myself in the foot when I get this phone. The coverage maps on gsmworld.com for my area dont seem to indicate much of a difference between the coverage for both bands. Little help?

in the Article: Camera Phones Can Be Used As a 3D Mouse forum

A variety of phones already have the HID profile built in. I can use my Sony Ericsson phone with my bluetooth dongle to act as my mouse. Kinda cool when I dont have time to run and buy batteries for my wireless mouse. When i use the phone, I can do all the same stuff I can with my mouse. Just use the dpad to direct where the pointer is going & soft keys/center button to do the clicking...

EVERYONE outsources...

in the Article: Sprint Slashes Jobs As Part of Cost-Cutting Actions forum

Every company outsorces. Verizon does it with PRC. ATT uses Convergys. Virgin uses ITC. And the list goes on. Outsourcing doesn't exactly mean that you will be getting someone in India. You will very likely get someone in the good ole USA. They have mortgages and live the american "dream" like everyone else.

Re: Why no AWS 1700MHz support?
Jan 6, 2008, 10:34 PM
in the Article: Sony Ericsson Shows Off Three New Phones At CES forum

Pure speculation. Until there is an ACTUAL need for ALL manufacturers to develop handsets with he 1700 band, i foresee that the pickings will be slim. As for what the 1700 band will be developed for is anyones guess when it comes to ATT. Right now the popularity, on a GLOBAL scale, for 3g does not include the 1700 band....

Re: Why no AWS 1700MHz support?
Jan 6, 2008, 10:24 PM
in the Article: Sony Ericsson Shows Off Three New Phones At CES forum

What valid reason would they have? 1700MHz is not used by many carriers. In fact, I think that TMO is the only one who DOES use this band. Everyone else uses 850/1900/2100 i think. It would be FAR too much for them to include an additional radio to support 1700MHz for a market that isnt even developed....
