How much does an AT&T store manager make?
the job requires allot of experience and technical skills as posted. Just wondering if it is worth looking into.
Re: HTC Tytn II
Why dont you check out the bb curve? I just switched from my 8525, and I will never own anything that is not Blackberry again. It is far easier to use and more direct with email. However, it is not high speed and no video capture. but will read a 4GB card, will read ANY video(DVD), and ANY music file. Auto-text and spellcheck are extremely valuable as well.
Re: Attention Everyone!
How about the motorola startac 7868? circa 1999. Sooooo old phone scoop doesn't even have the specs. The best and first real clam-shell flip. the only Moto that I would have ever owned.
wow!
Anyone know if they will have a WORKING data cable and software this time around? We had to go outside the U.S. when the cu500 came out to get software and cable. Took like 2 weeks just to find it. With HSDPA 3.6 alot of people will want to use it as a modem. Won't be able to do it without cable and drivers.
Re: Fewest Dropped Calls My Ass
Its probably not our network its the stupid iphone. It is apples first phone you know. As far as I know they manufactured all their own parts. So if the phone side is dropping calls it could be partially due to lower compatibilty than some of the other phones. this is the same problem LG had when they first started making GSM phones.
It is not a device problem
this is not a device problem. This is new windows media player problems. I have had the same issue with mine. unfortunately there is no fix. it is due to write-protection. You can however go to open file and add them all individually to the que and then they will work np. A bit of a headache but it works. they are working on an update for windows media player that sort of fixes it, but since they have ...
Re: I was going to get the iphone then i found out...
This is the only fear I have for the iphone. When a device looks bad AT&T looks bad. Not being able to help those who have problems worsens our reputation.
Re: Is This True???
This is apple we are talking about here. The price will never drop.
would like to address a few things..........
First things first. Truthfully we cannot compare this phone to allot of the pdas or any of the plain phones for that matter. Considering it was not designed to be a PDA. then again it wasn't really designed to be just another phone either. This would be allot like what RIM did when they first launched their devices for nextel. One word: REVOLUTIONARY. You can kind of compare it to the blackberrys I guess the fit into almost the ...
Re: Should I wait?
If you call the insurance company they can insure it for you seperate from cingular. the deductible will be higher and you will not get the phone replaced as easily. They will cut you a check so you can buy a new one. Check with your home-owners ins. or auto ins. first. they may be able to insure it for you cheaper.
Re: SDHC?
It will read 4GB out of box, but it depends on what brand. Sandisk ecrypts something in their memory cards that prohibits some of the phones from recognizing larger than 2GB. For instance the lgcu500 will only read a 1GB sandisk however the 2GB transcend card will work fine in it. My 8525 reads a 16Gb no-name brand that i got from Taiwan. I had to send it to a windows mobile specialist to have it modified to ...
Re: This or the iPhone?
With the iphone the only better features you really get than what the 8525 offers are:
Safari browser ( without 3g is annoying due to web page detail), and visual voicemail(symuelsays makes this software for 8525 and blackberrys).
The 8525 is a PDA, the iphone is not. with the wifi on both it is a tough choice. However for the more technically savy users the 8525 is the better way to go for price and usability. For the less technical ...
Re: Memory....
krussel makes the only GOOD case for this phone.
I realize that totally,but....
the only people who buy PDA's either need those apps or are "geeks" like you so eliquintley put it. Being able to load videos shot in other file formats not just itunes is a must for certain types of business people. and like I said before with windows its just easier. Not to mention being able to change PDF's, word documents, and excel spreadsheets is nice and easily done with microsoft apps. I am a manager, and being able ...
Re: ITS OFFICIAL THE 4G WIMAX iPHONE KILLER (MICROSOFT/SPRINT ZUNE PHONE)!!!
yes,but the zune is twice the device that any ipod has ever been. mostly because you can sync it to windows media player and put full leangth DVDS on them. I realize you can do the same thing to an ipod if you want to, but its not as easy. microsoft also spits at apples NO DISCOUNT for anybody policy.
On another note when do you think they will make stereo ...
Re: Blackjack killer?
If reliability is your issue might I suggest the Palm 750 or the HTC 8525? I have used both with almost no issues. Very clean designs, but heafty on price. Oh yeah and size too. I have heard talk of HTCS next device being more like LG's Prada Phone in size.
Re: One of Tmo's first 3G devices?
I have heard from numerous people that they will be skipping 3G, and going straight to 4G starting this June. It will be nice to see Deutsche telekom finally put some effort toward their north american market. Personally I have always liked T-mo for their customer service. But was hard to sell to anyone other than kids, or those purely concerned with vanity due to data speeds, devices, and coverage. As for the Q9 just because it has 3G ...
Hasn't anyone learned anything about motorola smartphones?
Forgotten about the MPX220 that was released and dicontinued 3 times? Or the recent Q that has no key guard? Hopefully this one is better running windows mobile 6. I'm not going to hold my breath for it. Lets face it Motorola hasn't exactly been reliable with their software on their handsets for the last few years.
In fact if HTC ever releases a version of the dash for us here at cingular this phone ...
Re: Best Cingular phone, reception wise.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. NOKIA 6010 is the best for reception.
Any one know where I can find....................................
A good final fantasy title for windows mobile. Preferably final fantasy 7, but any will do I guess. It would be nice to have something to do sometimes.
Re: Sign of things to come? Real broadband speeds?
What about TV's with sim card slots for NO-WIRES cable access. It's all in the not-too-distant future with the NEW AT&T merger. I've heard they will be launching this technology in europe as early as next year. Current speeds on their UMTS already exceeds 25MBPS. So it is totally possible to stream Hi-def programming straight to your TV at those speeds. The TV's that have it will probably be pretty expensive for a while, but as with all new ...
Re: Actually - jinanddevil
How does cingular profit from it? Don't they have to be an licenced insurance company? I thought all profits go to the insurance company for cost of goods and such.
For instance, some of the phones that get sent to customers on insurance are unlocked unbranded handsets. This is a rarety, but it does happen. This would suggest that who ever processes the claims is getting their handsets from the manufacturer direct, and not from cingulars inventory. Now ...
Re: Actually - jinanddevil
I apreciate you explaining that for me. But as far as it being a profitable feature It cannot be by law unless those who sell it are licenced insurance agents. That being a pretty expensive test there is no way that all cingular employees could be paid a spiff for selling it. Unless it is called a warrenty. The insurance company may profit off of it but not cingular. This is "as far as I know" so do not ...
Re: For the cor employees
First off since i didn't reply the first time some one called me out on the fact that i dont use paragraphs you should know that I don't care. Secondly our devices that we use here at work do not format it into paragraph form for some reason. If I indent it does not come out indented when i post the message. Thirdly why does it matter? As long as you can read you should get the point. ...
Re: Hopefully I am understanding this correctly...
telenav will work with most windows devices. Even some regular phones will work with telenav. I know it will work 100% with the 8525, I saw it at a roadshow. the service is cheap.
Re: For the cor employees
If cost is a factor, why do they not simply raise the deductable on higher end devices? Or even the cost of the insurance per month?
Availabilty should not be an issue. Almost all customers with high end devices would pay more for insurance. That is a given. Why would you not have insurance if the cost of your phone is over $300? I do not see many of these devices being broken due to the fact that the ...
Re: For the cor employees
The question is why are some insurable and some not? The new insurance company is assurion and no longer Lockline. I do understand that you said it is all on cingular to decide what to insure, but other carriers that also use assurion insure ALL their Devices.
Verizon for one will insure their treo's. They happen to be a bit more costly than ours, because they are CDMA.
I'm just wondering if cingular ...
For the cor employees
Since you all think you are better than indirect agent employees. Obviously you don't understand with certain things cingular wants its agents to focus on different areas than its cor locations. For instance cor and online pricing is sometimes better than what any agent can offer on certain phones due to the costs cingular gives its agents on certain phones. Cor and online obviously focus more on gross adds than anything. While the agents are told exactly what they ...
Re: Black Jack and Data usage
we went to a training on this and have a print-out of acceptable plans for the blackjack it is the only PDA that can get the rebate and it IS OK BY CINGULAR POLICY to sell the media max plans. It says on the rebate form with "+" next to the blackjack "Requires activation on a $39.99 or higher unlimited data plan OR a $19.99 messaging extreme plan plus a cingular voice plan of $39.99 or higher" Why would ...
Re: Black Jack and Data usage
You can get the media max 3000 on the blackjack but not the media max 1000. It requires data plan $39.99 or higher. however with the media max 3000 you will not be able to use express mail or get push email at all. Cingular allows this in the place of the PDA connect. Or you can get the PDA max if 3000 text is not enough.
Re: Cingular's Rate Increase Response versus Sprint/Verizon
They are incresing rates to cover their asses. Not because of greed. They dont turn much of a profit off of text pay per use. Aggrements with the companies who admin these pay-per-use texts and supply the technology for it determine pay-per-use rates. Why do you think everybody's prices are going up around the same time. Contracted cell towers are the name of the game and the companies who have agreements with cingular for text charge cingular and other ...
Re: Blackberry +Media Max 200
The rebate is good up to(postmarked by) feb 20th if you bought the phone before jan 20th. If you knew how to read you would know that. When your father told you to read the fine print before signing anything I guess you weren't listening. My point is instead of whining about something first you should learn all of the facts. 4 services will work on the black jack. Message extreme $19.99(3000 text),Media max 3000 $29.99, Unlimited PDA connect ...
Re: Mobile email (always checks, even at 4am)
Sorry to be harsh, but your dumb! Under ring details in all motorola phones you can set the email alert to silent so it wont bother you when you sleep. Or even change the PROFILE to silent when you dont want to hear your phone. I honestly hope you do not take offense to me calling you dumb it was meant to be facecious not taken personally. These are things that any competent sales-person should have informed you of ...
Re: How do I use the 8525 as a modem?
The cable came with the phone. Does active sync have to be disabled? or will it automatically be disabled.
Re: Phone with great reception
Any NOKIA is by far the best for getting reception they are cingulars most reliable phones. It is a little known fact that NOKIA manufactures 3/4 of the worlds cell tower(receivers and repeaters) technology at least for GSM. It is natural that their devices will work better and be more compatible with there own technology. The nokia 6010 in fact which is one of their longest running phones next to the 5100 series is tried and true to its ...
How do I use the 8525 as a modem?
I recently purchased the cingular 8525 and would like to use it as a modem for my laptop. I have recieved the instructions from cingular on how to do so, but its not very good at explaining how to do it. Is anyone well versed in this area that could help me? Firstly it says to make sure that under the phone settings that wireless is turned on. is this wireless LAN or what? The first person at cingular ...
DVD RIPPING
Anyone know where I can get software to remove copy protection from DVDS for free? I would like to store them on my mini sd card and play them on my 2125.
Re: Cingular response to "my circle"??
Yes and I don't think that altel has m2m for anything other than family plans. T-mobile you gotta wonder how they've been doing it for so long. They can't be profitting too much from the way they do business. That would be why their coverage in the US is still crap after so many years. Deutch Telecomm doesn't take too much stock in their US market anyways so there hasn't been too much advancement. As far as I know ...
Re: OHHHHH I think I've got it...
The nice thing about being branded AT&T will be A: it is a more reconizable name world wide.
B: more of our elderly customers trust that name due to the fact it as been around such a long time.
C: AT&T has tons of money to spend on things that make money such as technology and marketing of that technology.
Lets face it to those who do not have cell phones and have home phones it is the most trusted name ...
Re: What about billing rates & sim cards
It wont change anything other than the name and maybe some kick-off priceplan promos. With what happened before it was one WIRELESS company going broke being bought out by another WIRELESS company. The AT&T company that bought SBC cingulars parent company had nothing to do with AT&T WIRELESS. They were never the same company just the same name. And since now AT&T does NOT have wireless they will just use our billing and plans from what I've heard. This ...
