with american idol coming soon again knowing cingular has the text to vote deal with them. they for the past couple years have released phones such as the lg f9200 and f9100. does anyone know if there will be another device with like or better features. normally we would have heard something by now but i've heard nothing. have you?

Nada. Those phones didn't do too well either.

They should promote the Pearl for it.

indeed those ones sucked heavily. however i do think we need something like the lg 9800 or the 9900 en v. we need that niche phone like the n-gage was or the 6820 or even the 3300.

And Cingular really doesn't market any phone every well. every channel you change to you see the Q, vx9900, KRAZR, something from Verizon. What do you see from us? Family talk, fewest dropped calls with a c417 at the end, and 1 i607 commercial. Where is the 8100c marketing on TV, the 8525, the v3i, the v3r, the w810i, the treo 680 for that matter? We just need better marketing! โ˜น๏ธ

How about a response to Sprint's lap-top card claim?

That would be nice.

I thought i heard somewhere that blackberry was going to do some pearl marketing. Impressively enough they did send each of our stores a working model to demo however it doesn't do much good other than converting current customers to this device.

Yeah but I am hearing that some people are having problems with the 9900 that are due to key pad malfunctions, and that the phone is powering down without actually manually doing it.

The Blackjack would be a great texting phone to be advertised to the younger generation. The phone really a hybrid between a standard phone and a PDA.

The price just needs to come down about $75...

The Blackjack can be customized so much that the younger generations would love it. You can really make the phone look much less like a business phone.

The price needs to come down?! Are you joking? ๐Ÿคจ

The price is great on that device. Here in the North Pole, the phone is $299.99 w/ a 2 yr agreement and you get a $100 mail in rebate.

So you are getting a PDA/Smartphone, MP3 player, 3G network, 1.3 MP, and a ton of other features for $199.99.

If you think that's expensive you shouldn't own a phone with those capabilities.

Does Santa have to pay wholesale prices for that stuff too? $75 less on the device would make it nearly impossible to turn a profit from selling that device.

Santa is lucky to have the cell phone Elf. He can reproduce any cell phone there for mere pennies.

Sometimes, when it comes to logic, I find some humans are lacking it. They cannot see past the cost for them, the consumer.
