not sure if I mentioned but I'm looking for a replacement for my i760. Which has been simply a wonderful phone. I'd only replace this phone with another WMP PDA that has a larger screen than 2.8 (don't care for resolution) and a slideout keyboard.

So, at this point there is no such a phone, even on competing networks.

So, I am asking if you guys know what's ahead. Thanks,

The replacement to the i760 was the i770...or Saga...this phone has already been released. Not every "replacement" will have the same form factor.

At this point...there is no one that will "leak" the pda line-up for 2009. Don't expect anything to be announced until...surpise surprise....2009. It's too early at this point for rumors to even start. So at this time...you can stop wondering and go with a "no...there are no phones in the first 6 months that will meet your specifications."

thanks

the problem with going on those sites is that you see smart phones that will never come to VZW. so, no need to get my hopes up.

Do you know if XPERIA will be available for VZW?
How about new NOKIA's?

I am sure the answer to both is no... 🙂 S

SE does not make CDMA devices, so prolly no xperia. Keyboard sucks on that phone anyway. I think its a little overrated and SE is charging $800 for it. Ridiculous.

Nokia makes a handful of cdma devices, but most of their high end stuff is GSM.

So when did you get to use an xperia? I used one at CTIA but that was April.

I haven't personally used it, but I hate sliders because your fingers always touch the top half of the sliding portion and it slows down typing. Atleast that has been my experience.

Also, BGR commented on the keyboard when he did a review a few months back.

Just curious. If you ever go to CES or CTIA you might try it before ripping it. It is a pretty good keyboard and that was back in April.

I also wanted to ask so I knew for sure what you meant. Don't need Midnight thinking I have any more reading issues.

yeah, if I can get my hands on one, I will def try it. Im just speakin in general terms when it comes to sliding keyboards.

It was pretty cool. I do like Sony Ericsson products but unfortunately the ones I really like are not available through the carriers.

I got the i760, last November and I would gladly continue using it for another few months. I think it's a great PDA, specially with the very rare numeric keypad. S

uhmm ... isn't VZW the Apple equivalent in the cell phone world?

not really, VZW is the leader in the US for wireless service, apple holds what? a 10% market share?

well ... in respect to business practices.

Not really, Verizon is going the route of opening up access greatly. What's the chances you'll ever see Apple sell their OS so that you can put it on a Dell, HP, Sony, etc?

You want Mac OS, you're sticking with an Apple product.

it'll happen in 10 years, but it'll happen ... haha.

Well you have fun with that loser 🤣

You obviously do not own any of their products b/c they are untouchable when it comes to usability. Why so anti-this and anti-that? All good products should be given a test drive so that you can make the best and most informed decision about what to purchase.

I agree...They are great for those who don't read and enjoy a lot of hand holding at the expense of giving up total control of your own choices. Sorta like Verizon. I can understand why two "total control" organizations could not marry in the first place.

I couldnt use a Mac because Im a gamer, and most games dont run on Mac.

Your reply is so typical of Mac users: Never any substance.

How do you know what I use and what I don't? Yet you assume.

Mac's are highly overrated. And normally used by people who have very little knowledge of computers. I am not pro PCs, nor pro Microsoft, but when it comes to computing, they have 95% of the market and in computing the size of the community matters. computers are about connecting people together, in addition to be useful tools for work, play and life. Hence the massive user community is a huge advantage, not just in software choices, but due to the size of the industry and nature of business competition, the PC industry is able to offer products at much cheaper rates than Mac. Why? Because Mac's are a monop...

now there's an endorsement to torpedo any company at this point 🤣 ...that or Dan Hesse 😁

You know what's funny. Dan Hesse has been doing the Sprint commercials himself. Now THAT is desperate advertising!

It'll work though.

Maybe I'm mixing who said what in my head but I could've sworn that Lee Iacocca went on TV when his company was going down the toilet and then it picked up greatly after that.

yeah go try ATT so you can drop phone calls left and right without even moving, you get some junky pantech pda that crashes once a day and cant find any 3g coverage at all so you search for wi fi, where you cant insure ur higher end devices and ur per MB charges are 5xs more expensive then Verizon.


Sounds like fun?

The Pantech Slate is not a smartphone, honey.
