Re: Why is it so hard for Samsung to produce something this nice?
At least with the M8 users can get rid of all the carrier and Samsung crap. The S4 and Note 3 have bootloader locked and users are stuck. I'm in for HTC :lol:
Re: All well and good but....
City I live in is just at the limit of their so called range and its still crap. :-(
Re: AT&T are so full of themselves
Their crappy network works half the time where I live, most of the time I'm lucky to get 3G. They are doing the same thing to customers that use their DSL internet service. I should have kept the internet service I had before at least they told you up front they were going to hose you.
AT&T is just trying to get customers to give up their unlimited data package and then charge whatever they want.
Screen/Display
Can anyone tell me if the screen is "gorilla glass" or plastic?
Re: Didn't I?
Why I think you are correct it looks just like my 9000 without the touch screen. One of the other sites posted that the OS is the same OS 4.6, if thats correct RIM is moving in the wrong direction.
Re: Trapped Like A Rat!
Yeah when it shows full bars and you drop a call or no reception it will be AT&T fault. Way to pass the buck.
Re: AT&T when?
Maybe AT&T is waiting for approval from Apple, just a little humor, I'm on AT&T and waiting for the 9700 in order to retire my sometimes functioning Bold 9000.
Re: why?
Heck AT&T can't even get good service to the people they serve now, they just can't stand the fact that someone else may just have a better product than they have or maybe provide better quality. AT&T has been in bed with Apple so long all they want is "show me the money". Google has come out with a way better product in Android than AT&T could ever dream of. I hope Google does not cave ...
Re: what is worse
So what your saying is that no one is suppose to use a smart phone for whatever reason regardless of the situation unless they have a data plan.
Re: what is worse
Your right to get the full use of a smart phone one would need a data package, I have and old, beat up blackberry 8310 curve that is used as back up phone for my teenagers. When their phone breaks and pop the sim card out of the broken phone and pop it into the curve. All they get is dial tone and texting sometimes. And if all they can get is voice service until they ...
Re: This is definitely T-Mobile
Well I hope AT&T gets it soon, it may not have 3G but it has to have less problems than the Bold with all its bells and whistles. My two cents.
Re: That's a lot.....
The price more than likely won't drop. This phone having all the bells and whistles on it AT&T will get every drop of blood they can from customers. I got the 8820 when it first came out for $299.00 with two year contract and $449. without out one. As of today the prices are still the same. It's all about the money for AT&T. I maybe wrong, my two cents.
Re: I'm impressed!
You are so correct they are different, but I think it makes for interesting top of discussion. I like a phone that if it breaks or whatever I can pop the sim card out and put it into another with no problems. I have two blackberries, if one stops all I do is take the sim card out put it into the old make some changes and go. It's a pain but my choice. iPhone I'm sure ...
Re: When Will this phone be out.......????? Its killing me
Don't know if you would want to call it reliable, but www.blackberryforums.com posters are claiming from between September 1 to November/December. Hoping its this year and not next.
Re: MediaNet
Sorry, but without the Data Package for BlackBerry all you have is an expensive cell phone. You may also see "data connection refused" on the screen sometimes. AT&T has a BlackBerry data package for $29.99 (BIS). Hope that helps.
Re: BJ 2 in Walmart Stores for $128
The price I found at Wal-Mart, was "Free for New 2 year contract, $299.00 for 2 year renewal contract. AND $399.00 for just the phone no contract or renewal.
What part of the world did you find your price?
Re: GPS is the real deal. Better than the Q9 Global.
So does GPS work with Google Maps? If not I may just stick with my BB8820 and keep replacing it until the bugs are worked out.
Re: Short Battery Life
Does anyone know if the extended battery that came with the first BlackJack work on the BlackJack II?
Re: AT&T is on a buying spree!
Improve current network, I'll second that.
Re: to ATT&T?
AT&T is suppose to get the 8310 which has GPS & camera but no WiFi. The WiFi for AT&T is on the 8820, but no camera. The 8310 is suppose to come out on October 4th.
Re: BB 8820 on AT&T Part Deux...
I will have to recheck my plan, but the last time I looked my $99 month family plan with the 29.99 unlimited data package for BlackBerry was better than the family plan with iphone. I was told on the business account I would have to have at least two of these ipods. I will keep my 8700 until the 8820 comes out.
Re: I believe this will be at T-Mobile at the end of Sept.
If I'm not mistaken the model will be 8320. Looks like the 8300 Curve only with WiFi. 8820 suppose to go to Cingular/AT&T.
Re: Hey Kool Aide..... Ooooohhh Yeeeaah!!
Thanks this is the first straight answer I've received on my question. Again thank you.
Re: Hey Kool Aide..... Ooooohhh Yeeeaah!!
End of which month? Will WiFi help with voice transmission and reception? or is it for just data?
Re: Wifi (will the 8820 use wifi for voice calls and email?)
I have asked the same question on the other sites that claim to have information on "Blackberry" and as of yet NO useable answer, I don't think anyone knows.
Re: Blackberry 8820????????/
Any info on release date?
Re: What does Cingular's BB Unlimited service include...
I have the same plan, however it does not offer the text (SMS). I don't know about "IM" since I don't use it.
You would have to get SMS seperate. I am not sure if Cingular still offers the unlimited text, but the catch with this is you can only use it for "in network". You can't beat the Blackberry for email, it is great.
Hope this helps.
Re: No 3g Cingular
I have a question, maybe I missed it somewhere, but which Nokia Model is the E50?
Re: 3G Upgrade
Thats what I thought, just wanted someone with more knowledge that I to confirm.
rats. Now to plan B.
3G Upgrade
Is it possible to upgrade the BlackBerry 8800 to 3G? Would this be Software/Firmware, Hardware? or both?
Would it have to be a different unit?
Can anyone help with this?
Re: No Voice Dial?!?!
I think "Voice Dialing is carrier specific. Cingular/AT&T offers "Voice Dialing" for monthly fee and it lists the 750. Hope his helps.
Re: 750 memory?
Thanks for the info, both have been very useful, now all I have to do is get my hands on one. Dallas is in short supply.
Re: 750 memory?
I know I must be missing the big picture, will this unit suffer the same fate as the others due to lack of available memory?
Palm's web site shows "128MB/60MB persistent user storage, non-volatile flash". Is this where you're getting your numbers?
I am trying to get as much information on this unit before I drop that much money on it. Excuse my ignorance.
Screen resolution 240x240 vs 320x240
I read an article stating that the 240x240 resolution was causing problem with viewing web pages and documents, that contents run off the edges. Also that Pocket PC applications look for 320x240 rectangular screens.
I have not been able to get my hands on a 750, in the Dallas Fort Worth area they are all sold out and don't know when to expect next order.
Any of you out there that has one of these units can give me your ...
Re: Launch date is Jan 8th.
How much is a "bit pricy"?
Re: More bad news for my fellow Treo 750 fans
Thanks, I hope they can work out the bugs soon. I am trying to hold out for the 750.
May have to settle for the 680.
Re: More bad news for my fellow Treo 750 fans
So is it safe to say that if the same problem the Treo 650 has/had is also in the Treo 750v, that the Treo 680 can be expected to have the same?
Re: You're not screwed
That may work on the low end phones, I have had the BlackBerry 8700c replaced four times and they won't go to a different one.
Cingular Business Customer Service says " If past the 30 days you have to buy a different phone". They will continue to replace the high end models with a "rebuilt" one for a period of one year.
Good Luck.
Re: Just horrible!
Like the others have you tried the 680 with just the onboard applications?
If so how does it work?
Is it able to re-install the original OS?
Was TechSupport helpful?
Any other information?
How would you compare it to the BlackBerry 8700c?
Re: Wow it has EDGE !!
Does anyone actually have a 680 yet?
Does it have the same problems the 650 had?
"Re-Boot" on its own.
