fruity PEBLS

Hey guys, I'm a sales rep in Orange County, California, and the new fruity PEBLS, as well as the old PEBL, are not selling worth crap. I think so far we've sold maybe 2 of them, and that's because the sales rep had to REALLY try to convince the customer to buy it.

I am just wondering if any of you guys have been selling or buying them in large amounts? Are they really flying off the shelves like our DM and RMs are claiming? DMs and RMs have lied before, so I'd rather ask other real people. Also, what area are you from?

The stupid shirts are going to get flown out in june! but no we've sold maybe a total of about 20 pebls since in came out (color and blacks total). I think more than half has been returned. as a reference during the same period we've sold more close a hundred V3s

Same here. WE offer additional rebate on it and still no one wants it. I sold 4 since it came out. Expensive Feature-less and generaly it looks and feels like a v330. It needs a mp3 player and a beeter camera to get out there. motorolla how about u6i and price around 69.99!

mp3 is one of the last things I want in a phone. Sorry but true. I've had my eye on the PEBL for a long time (before TMo even offered it) but it's lack of EDGE has almost killed it for me. And as for the beeter camera... I thought camera phones were `beeter' cameras. 😛

V3 is about as useless IMO but I'm considering it because it integrates well into my car... well the V3i does. But it still lacks EDGE.

Not at all in Care. I sell one occaisionally, but not in huge quantities like the ever-loving razr. Which aggravates me since the pebl is superior.

I've sold like 3 black ones and NONE of the colored ones here in West Michigan.
Oh and I just LOVE looking like a freaking Skittle. Anyone know how long we have to wear these stupid shirts?

I bought the Pebl (black) almost 2 months ago, and I can honestly say this is a great phone, everyone I talk to says they can't believe how clear it is; also great reception and very good camera. Battery life is good, and the phone itself is very solid. By the way, I'm 55 yrs. old.

I just have a question, I have read the reviews and the pebl does have quite a few really great reviews! Why do you suppose it fizzled so quickly? Why have people returned them is it actual defects with phone or just changed mind? I have been waiting till my contract expires just to switch over to tmo and get one but I thought they would be coming out in the red or maroon color spoken about in various reviews and was dissapointed to see the choices available now that they are in.Can any of you tmo reps suggest a good phone? I text a lot not too many phone calls about 250 min a month want a cam phone but have a dig cam so not too worried about cam qual but would like an easy to read screen for the aging eyes!Also I prefer clamshell form scree...

I'm not a TMobile rep but the A630 was just what you're looking for. Too bad they stop selling it. It's a great phone (have one) and only lacks EDGE support. It's a BT clam shell phone with a QWERTY key pad. It has a VGA camera that works in a pinch but it's no digi-cam replacement. And unlike most QWERY phone you can fit the A630 in your pocket but the KB isn't so small that you can't use it (I have me...

Same deal here. We've sold 5 blue and one green since the colors came out. And maybe 10 blacks since they came out.

FLOP
