Optimus Slider
Anyone know if this is going to be a 4G phone?
I am trying to get a 3G only phone because our business plan is exempt from the new 3G monthly fee but not the 4G.
If its going to be 4G I might just get the Shift instead.
Re: Optimus Slider
I just called yesterday, they will waive it for me :)
Our account type does not require the fee
Re: Optimus Slider
Do we have any idea when it might come out? I really like my Optimus but I hate not having a physical keyboard
Re: Optimus Slider
I dont pay the fee, we are on a business plan and are exempt, unless we go 4G
Re: Motorola XPRT
Thanks, I will have to check one out. I tried the verizon version and the keys were too small for what I like and I text a lot so the ability to type fast is imporant.
Motorola XPRT
How is the keyboard on this phone? Are the buttons really small? I want to get rid of my touch only for a keyboard.
Optimus Slider
Anyone have any information on the LG Optimus Slider? Will it be 3G?
I cannot get a 4G phone due to plan restrictions and there is no 4G in my area so I am not paying the fee when I cannot even get the service.
Re: HTC Evo Shift
I just upgraded to my Optimus Nov 8 on a 12 month contract, but the site is allowing us to upgrade all of our phones again on another 12 month contract and I don't know why?
Maybe since 1 line is eligible it will let any line upgrade again and then wont anymore?
Re: HTC Evo Shift
My intercept had touch sensitive buttons and they had trouble responding, thats my main worry.
I hate having a touch only screen. So there aren't any problems with the buttons not responding?
I have the Optimus and love it except for the lack of keyboard!
Phone has good call quality and no lag?
HTC Evo Shift
Anyone know if Sprint is coming out with any new android devices with a physical keyboard?
I have the Optimus but I HATE not having a keyboard.
Is the Shift keyboard good and how is the phone overall? I am nervous about those touch sensitive buttons on the bottom after the problems with the Intercept.
Re: 10.00 Smart Phone Fee
Got this from Sprint! I am thinking of selling my Optimus on eBay and getting the Blackberry flip, I hate texting without a keyboard.
Dear Customer,
Your account is eligible for $0 premium data fee if you upgrade to smartphones.
Thank you for contacting Sprint/Nextel.
Re: 10.00 Smart Phone Fee
I know were on a Sprint Business account and we have the unlimited data and messaging plan 1500 any mobile any time and we get a 14% discount.
Re: 10.00 Smart Phone Fee
I will call and ask, I was thinking of giving my Optimus to someone else on the plan and getting a blackberry. Not having a keyboard has gotten very annoying, but if I have to pay 10.00 more I might just deal with it.
10.00 Smart Phone Fee
Does anyone know which plans are exempt? I remember in the email it said some plans are not going to be charged.
We are on a business plan, we get 1 year upgrades at 2 year prices, etc. etc.
How would I check to see if we will be charged when swapping or adding new smart phones? We have had sprint since 1999, and just split off into 2 separate business plans.
Re: Premier Customers Lose Upgrades, 04/01/2011
I just upgraded in November on a 1 year contract. Does that mean they can extend my 1 year contract to a 2 year or just that when I sign another one, I am no longer able to do 1 year contracts?
We are on a 129.99 business share plan which includes text, video, picture, data, any mobile any time, etc. for 4 lines.
Re: preparing sd card and spontaneous reboots
It is an SD card problem, not the phone.
Go to the SD menu, unmount the card, format, then re mount it. That should fix it!
Be sure to backup stuff on your computer first.
If that doesn't work, then get another SD card, even an old one, and do that same process with the new card.
I had the same problems and have not had it since I did this.
LG Optimus
Has anyone gotten the Optimus?
I have the Intercept and the lag on it is so annoying. Was considering getting this.
Somehow, even though I just got the Intercept Aug 20, 2010 on a 1 year contract since we are a business plan, my sprint account is still allowing me to upgrade for a year on that line and get the phone for 49.99.
Re: Good Intercept Apps?
I also would like to find a good site to get a car charger since the battery drains quicker than my previous phones. I have bought the cheap 9.00 chargers from my local mall in the past, but they hardly ever worked.
Any suggestions?
Good Intercept Apps?
Anyone have any apps they recommend for the Intercept phone?
I have noticed some delay in programs loading, although it does not bother me too much. But I figured I would check and see if anyone had any suggestions for essential apps I should download to make my first Android phone better.
Thanks
Re: Rumor Touch Texting Problems
Thanks, my Rumor Touch actually pretty much died the other day. Would not use 3G, Twitter App failed, texting problems, Sprint Navigation and Football programs would not load or download.
Luckly I had 1 day left on my 30 day return, so I exchanged it at the store for the Intercept.
Rumor Touch Texting Problems
Has anyone else had problems where the phone wont send texts and says network error, but if you power off and back on, it works?
This is the 3rd time in over a week I have had to do this. I just got the phone Sept 3rd.
Re: Exclaim Speaker Problem?
I did drop it once, has some scratches but it was not a huge drop where it should have caused anything like this.
Sometimes the person on the other end sounds like a robot, I sound like im 10 feet away from the phone, and it randomly inserts numbers while i am texting.
Plan
Will this require an unlimited data plan?
Exclaim Speaker Problem?
Lately, all my friends and family that I talk to are saying I sound very low when they talk to me on the phone. They say I sound distant, like the phone is a few feet away from me.
Anyone else have this problem? I just got it in July, so should I just go to a sprint store? I dont want to claim the insurance and have to pay the 50.00 deductible, or will I have to?
Ringtones
Any way to set mp3s from my computer as ringtones?
I hope they fix it so once u close the qwerty keypad it always switches the screen back.
Re: I happen to have
How is the screen quality? Camera quality? Sound quality? And does it have threaded text messaging?
Samsung Exclaim
Anyone seen the phone? Since the Pre requires a plan change, that will be the phone I get unless I wait for that other palm phone coming out in the 3rd quarter, but i doubt it.
Re: Pre required unlimited plan?
ok good, then i can wait
Re: Pre required unlimited plan?
i kinda like the samsung lucello that was on that phone map besides the Pre.
Re: Pre required unlimited plan?
so would i be able to add a data plan to my current free and clear plan or do I have to be on an unlimited plan?
If I cant...maybe I should just get a rumor 2 or wait for that samsung lucello...i dont like any of the other phones that are out.
Re: ancient contract and ancient phones too
we have 7 lines plus a data card, and pay only 330.00 a month. All have unlimited text, one unlimited data, and most have insurance.
Re: Pre required unlimited plan?
so i should be able to get the palm pre with a rebate as long as i add an unlimited data pack to my plan? I can then keep my free and clear plan?
Re: Pre required unlimited plan?
i know, but its gonna suck if I cant get the phone I want because of it!
I really want a touch screen with a qwerty keypad...I know people with verizon who have an all touch screen phone and hate it.
Looks like the only one with both is the HTC phones and the Pre.
Re: Pre required unlimited plan?
ok, just wondered cause if people were hearing you would have to change your plan, I would get a new phone now instead of waiting.
Our business plan is an old Free and Clear 6000 minute plan...its too good to change it.
Re: 2009 Sprint Handset Roadmap Leaked!
probably.....i was hoping for more touch screens with qwerty keyboards though....I might go for the Samsung Lucello if the Pre requires a plan change. Or get the Rumor2 or Rant. I am waiting to hear if the Pre will make me change my plan.
Re: 2009 Sprint Handset Roadmap Leaked!
looks like the pre is the only touchscreen coming out with a qwerty keypad besides the HTC phone?
Pre required unlimited plan?
Will the pre require me to get rid of the free and clear plan we have? We are a business customer and have an old Free and Clear plan. The price is too good to get rid of it...even the sprint reps say not to change it.
I dont mind adding an unlimited data plan to my plan, but I do not want to change to another plan.
If we do, I might just get the rumor2 or the new samsung ...
Re: 2009 Sprint Handset Roadmap Leaked!
A touchscreen samsung with a qwerty keyboard? Nice.
Anyone know if the Pre will require a plan change? I am on a Free and Clear old plan, and will not get rid of it. Even customer service reps tell me not to.
If they are going to make me change i will get the rumor or that touchscreen samsung.
Re: Largers Screen
i dont know if the pre will require a plan change which we will not do. Our plan is too good for what we pay. I dont mind adding a unlimited data plan to my plan, but i wont change it...were on a Free and Clear 6000 plan.
Largers Screen
Comparing the old rumor to this one, it appears the screen is larger. I wonder how much brighter it is. I am either getting this or the Pre.
