Krzr advice...

I need a new phone NOW or at least VERY soon. I am leaning toward the Krzr. However, I feel like a sucker paying $200 for that phone. It's mostly cosmetic.

Anyway, is there any other BETTER phone coming down the pipeline real soon? Also do you see the Krzr coming down in price anytime soon? I really dont like what Cingular has to offer right now.

Go play with the SYNC. I guarantee you will like it. But if not, they have the Samung A717 and A727 coming out. Those look really nice and both support hspda!

why would you get the k1 when the 3125 is cheaper and a better phone. plus it's a smartphone! way better choice.

Because it doesnt look as cool? Heh

But ya, point taken. I read the same basic comment on Endgadgets krzr coverage. They said essentially the same thing. SO youre paying $100 for the krzr's looks. 🤭

Still, I might consider it. What makes it a Smartphone anyway? What can it do? I dont want to pay extra for data fees so things like web browsing and email I wont even use. If I did I would get a Black Pearl.

🤣 understood. i like the way it looks, plus i'm a motorola hater! it runs windows mobile 5 software. which means it has window's nifty little programs, like windows media player, outlook mobile, word, power point. it also as a micro sd slot for your music and videos. you don't have to pay more than you would on a regular 3g device for data. unlimited data is $19.99 on either.

Ok so $20 extra a month to use email, browser etc. Ya its would be nice but I dont NEED it. Im just a student so I dont need to retrieve mission critical email or anything on the road.

Aside from email and stuff what else does it have over the krzr? Like I said, If I wanted all that I would likely just get the Black Pearl.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming.

well, windows media player is one thing the suckrola doesn't have. 😁 more internal memory, and a larger display! less warranty issues with the htc than motorola, too! htc also has better rf built into their phones. hey, just look how many months the k1 was delayed for quality issues, the 3125 didn't have that problem. 😁

Go get the SE w810. Best phone I've ever owned, and that includes the almighty Nokia 6682. Actually I would call it a tie between those great phones 🙂

Ya I have heard its a great phone. SE has a really good rep as of late it seems. The review are all good too. The only thing is I dont like the size of candy bar style phones. Plus I really have no use for the mp3 features as I would just prefer to use my Nano. The SE w810 is a great phone but I want something thats a lil smaller in my pocket I think.

the w810 is really a small device. it would probably fit better in your pocket than the a707. but not wanting a candy bar is understandable. i personaly like them better, but most people don't. as for the mp3 player, most of the handsets cingular sells now come with mp3 players. the k1 does. you don't have to use it though.

When are those new samsung supposed to come out? Any other phones soon?

May I suggest getting a unlocked phone through some website? All you have to do is make sure you have the settings for MMs and wap and you are good to go. I was like you a few months ago I was looking to get the w810 through cingular but never knew when they were going to release it so I went online and got the phone delivered to me imputed the settings and I was good to go.
This may or may not be a option you want but it something to think about.

Like Bigbmc said, this phone it totally small. Its as big as a most flips when they are closed. I just measured it against my old Moto V551, and with the Moto and included antenna, the Moto is actually longer even when its close.
