They have pushed the launch date all the way back to september no because of faulty flex versions and small preventable errors.

Good god, get over it.

You said this back in MAY. The phone may not even be mass produced anymore in September. T-Mobile USA point blank is simply NOT getting the phone.

You were wrong, get over it. Every one has already laughed at you, no need to drag it on doofus. Go to the Samsung boards and have fun there.

Lame, lame, lame.

Here is the word guys. This is straight from T-Mobile USA corporate office. The V-600 will be released in the first week of August. The reason T-mobile has taken so long to pick the phone up is becasue it have software errors that needed to be fixed. Cingular and AT&T both picked this phone up in May. T-Mobile's new objectives is to improve handset relablity by 30%. The engineering department did tests on the V-600 and in the batch that Cingular and AT&T pickled up, they deterimed the handset had too many bugs in its current software package. Bad reception, phone would lock up, etc.. Motorola finally fixed the software in and engineering just approved the handset for release.

Sure you do. You said September but after you saw the info I posted, you went along with it.

The Official release date is TOMORROW, as in July 26, 2004. It will get to the retail stores in the following days.

This is from me, a real T-Mobile employee.

I can confirm that as well.. The rep confirmed w/ me today that they are issuing on the 26th. Apparently its tri-band and not quad? Maybe Starr06 can explain why. Also, pricing is currently $299.The rep was sure if disc will be offered..

I don't think Motorola would make a new version of the v600 for tmobile with only tri-band.

Believe it or not, they came out with the V220 and Rogers up in Canada carries it. Apparently it is a quad band for them, but if you look it up on ebay or anywhere else they are tribands.

I think it might have to do with AT&T/Cing going the 850mhz route so they need to add that band to phones.

Regarding the V600 I wouldn't put it past that they don't offer it in the triband b/c TMobile doesn't work on the 850, and the bulk of the world doesn't either. 😲 😲 😲

Oh well.

t-mobile does what it can to cut costs, i would think it would cost them more to have the hardware limit the phone to tri-band since it is manufactured in mass for quad-band.

Yes TMobile's V600 is triband, who needs the extra band other than those AT&T and Cingular people...... 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

You are wrong. The V600 from tmobile is a quad band phone, but tmobile only uses 3 of the bands it still has the 850 band, its just not used. Here is a quote from a non mentionable source. " GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz (tri-band for T-Mobile Networks"

Dude,

Check the link and look under features....

Spoke with customer care and they confirmed it was tri-band. It's not unusual for Motorola to do this. They did this with the V220. Rogers AT&T in Canada offers the phone. It is a quad band, but if you go anywhere else on the internet (EBAY) to buy it, it's triband.

Besides, Tmobile works on 1900MHZ (1 band) only here in US. So I don't know where you learned that TMobile uses 3 bands.....whatever

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

the reason its ri band is because they droped the 850 band there is no point in it for a tmobile phone

.... but is is supose to be a "World Phone", why would they not include the 800 band, are there not other countries that use the 800 band? Does not make sense.
...
MrFisch13

Jul 23, 2004, 12:06 PM
because the phone does not need 800/850 to be a world phone foriegn countries runn off of 900 and 1800 which still makes it a world phone
