The only phones I've heard of being released in Aug/Sept were the Kyocera Slider Remix and the Samsung a850. There might be more, I could be mistaken.
The USCC version of the Moto Razr (v3c) is the same as any other providers version of that model; just programmed for use with US Cellular.
...
There are alot of Differences between the phones. The v3c has a 1.3 mp digi camera, more memory, better sound, and video The v3(gsm) has a VGA Camera No video
...
That is one cool thing about CDMA service. Although the phones pull more power and go through batteries like there is no tommorrow; apparantly, there is less memory/board room on GSM phones and they do less than CDMA phones of the same type. I'm just noticing a trend, not reporting any data I've collected, or anything.
...
The Slider Remix has already been released.
If there were other phones coming out, we don't hear about them untill the customer does for that matter.
...
thats completely false
...
Uh, no it isn't.
I learn about the new phones about the same time the customer does. Maybe earlier if I look at phonescoop and even the phones listed as tentative for us in phonescoop aren't guarenteed to come out to the customer.
...
there are 7 phones on the us cellular rebate form for tentative release. everyone gets advanced warning of what phones are comming out through e-mail or testing updates
...
I don't get to see the rebate form. Here in the call center, I don't get advanced warning of the new phones. I MAYBE get a day or two ahead of the phone actually being released. Most of the time, I don't hear about it untill it gets released or is on phonescoop.
It may be different for agents or people who work in retail, but I am in the call center.
...
I guess you guys don't get the Connections. They list phones in testing every week. Including several that are either so new or so secret that PS doesn't know about them. Make friends with an agent, maybe they will send you a copy.
...
I am an Agent and I can tell you the way to go is to make friends with your phone manufacturer reps.
😁
...
Outside of RadioShack Conventions I have never met a manufacture rep. I'm just one little agent, with one office. Nobody's reps are going to come visit me or even answer my phone calls.
...
you couldn't by any chance spill the details on the new phones could you?
...
I learn about new phones a good amount of time in advance, BEFORE the customer does. We usually get info packets about that, AND I read the "agent connections" newsletter.
...
actually...now the v3(gsm) has 1.3 megapixel and video.
just so you know...not trying to be mean or anything...
...
v3i, not v3x at ths time this was posted. things in a couple weeks, not trying to be mean or anything.
