Now that is a headline!
Top 3!
Might want to edit that summary
SafeLink provides low-income families with a free phone and a year's worth of service that includes 68 minutes per month and SafeLink provides eligible low-income households 68 free monthly airtime minutes, unlimited access to 911 and services such as voicemail, text, call waiting, international calling, and caller ID.
So are there two different sets of 68 minutes?
Do we really need to know that it comes as a debit card?
Not that it's assumed or anything, but I don't think it is really necessary in the summary.
Is it AT&T's software or Pantech?
I know AT&T always has a say, but comparing the software from a Pantech AT&T device to, say the Samsung Strive, it's pretty different.
I always figured it had more to do with the manufacturer, unlike Verizon (I'm not sure about their current ones), where every phone had that same menu styling.
Re: HTC + Palm = Babies I would kidnap
If I remember correctly, the old Treos were manufactured by HTC, before they started releasing thier own smartphones.
Re: Time for Bluecoyote's Lets do the Math! ┞¢
Credit where credit is due; that sir, was brilliant.
Re: Causes WAY more problems than it solves
I've always preferred memory cards as a back up, and have yet to have one fail on me (granted, I've only had 2 in the past 4 years).
It's more convenient when you're switching phones, or if you need a replacement.
Also, what phone doesn't support mass storage mode these days?
Re: Maybe 4.0 desrved an "In Depth" article?
What makes it interesting is that all of these news articles are linked to ggdt and Engadget. So think about how much they're driving over there. Assuming people actually like to read the full articles :wink:.
Re: Maybe 4.0 desrved an "In Depth" article?
Of course, I'm just grumpy because of all the Apple news, while I'm sure everyone else is freaking out.
But I don't think Phone Scooop has to worry about page views. It would be very surprising to find someone who has researched mobile anything that has never visited. Then again, we're talking about Apple's fanbase :wink: .
Re: Maybe 4.0 desrved an "In Depth" article?
Well, major announcements are. But they always do seperate parts for the in depth articles that are updated daily.
And I suppose you're right; a text only In Depth article wouldn't be warrranted.
Maybe 4.0 desrved an "In Depth" article?
Instead of seperate news articles? Quite a bit of scrolling for those of us who don't care :wink: .
Re: Apple should learn from Motorola
Normally I would jump on the anti-Apple bandwagon, but the only I thing I hate more are patent trolls.
The ones who sit around and do nothing, hide under bridges, then one day emerge and throw around lawsuits to everyone and their mother.
A lot of these have no basis (remember RIM's big one a while back), but sometimes it's too costly (both time and money) to go to court.
I'm wondering if Motorola decided to pay up before things ...
Touch-slab?
Now you're just making things up. :D
I like "Peddle" instead of Hawk
But that's just me.
Re: And then the taxes come....
Think of it this way: they're selling the exclusivity of those airwaves. Otherwise, you have tons of conflicting devices on the same band with neither device working right.
It's not perfect, but someone has to regulate the waves.
Re: I don't need accessories from a wireless company!
Then don't buy it, simple as that. They're not saying you are required to buy these chargers.
On another note, these would actually end up saving you (albeit a small amount) of money by not drawing any power when a phone isn't plugged in.
But I'm sure you already are in the habit of unplugging your chargers when they arn't in use and you phone is fully charged.
Re: ????
If they try to sell you that PDA with Exchange data for $45, don't take it. The personal plan for $30 will work, but you may not even need that. If AT&T doesn't recognize the model, they can't force you to get a certain data plan, now can they?
Years ago, I had exchange working on an 8525 with just a standard, no frills data plan. If you have unlimited messaging, you're looking at $10, otherwise $15.
It's my understanding ...
Re: ????
That's a negative unless AT&T actually starts selling the phone.
What kind of tech support would you be looking for? Other than troubleshooting call quality, there isn't much they can do.
Warranty and everything would go through Google.
Re: AT&T ruined an already struggling phone
I know! I would expect this sort of thing from Verizon (but I guess they haven't), but not from the usually more open AT&T.
Does anyone know if there is any way to add the feature back on? Possible firmware upgrade? I'm guessing since this is an exclusive device, we'll have to wait.
Don't you think it's time to move the browser out of the "Extras" section?
Granted, there isn't much more to say, but I would like to see how easy it is to navigate around, visit other pages, or even if it supports multiple windows.
I was playing with a Backflip yesterday, and everything looks similar to this one. One thing that was annoying was navigating to a different page required you to bring up a separate menu, choose "Go," and then type in the URL. This just seems like a pain, when the title ...
Re: This is a pretty good deal
Nice! Gotta love JR.
I thought K-series was more higher end feature phones, and J-series were the more simple ones. Compared to other models, this is mid-range at best (that Exchange support is pretty cool though).
I kinda see what you were doing with the title
But it's still somewhat confusing. Losing your touch, Eric?
Re: this is shocking
Don't forget hockey.
This is a pretty good deal
The phone has better specs than half of AT&T's line and is only $160? 3G with Exchange support? Might have to pick one up as a back up.
Re: What happend to Skyfire for BlackBerry?
Thanks for completely answering my question. Your input is highly valued and greatly appreciated.
Re: Question...
I'll take a stab. They would spin off the handset division as its own company. We don't know if they'll keep the same name, but it would be independant from the rest of Motorola.
Kind of like PCD being UTStarcom's former handset division, they were "spun off."
What happend to Skyfire for BlackBerry?
Still in beta testing?
Re: overlooked one big change
I thought it was weird that it's not myTouch With Google... guess Eric figured we already knew that. Maybe he's giving us too much credit?
Re: Wow....
It's probably much cheaper than establishing a new mobile division. This way, they already have something to build on. Who knows, if it goes well they'd be able to make the $100 mil back in no time.
Re: Another WinMo phone?
What makes it even more yawn is that it's an LG Windows Mobile phone. Hopefully it'll do better than that paper weight Incite.
Re: N-Gage?
They're talking about the platform, not the service. They wanted to bring gaming to S60 under the N-Gage brand. Games will still be availabe, now only through Ovi.
Re: Just wondering........
No, that's just a high price. This would be if there were multiple ringtone stores, and they all agreed to keep thier prices at $2.99.
190MHz?
Is that like a RIM exclusive? :D
Re: Proof
It's really hard to say if that's price fixing or not, you've only given one example. It would be price fixing if you went to several manufacturers and they all had the same price for the screen, but it still wouldn't be enough. They would have to show that they all colluded and agreed upon that higher price.
Re: I noticed
PCD was UTStarcom's mobile division, spun off. Pantech is different company.
I think we can do better on the title
"Moto Barrages Verizon's Lineup"
8O
When did the term "monoblock" replace "bar?"
Or is there a difference?
Re: Manufacturer?
I think it's directly Nokia. After they settled with Qualcomm, I think they could manufacture their own.
Re: Here's an idea: Worry about 3G first
They'll probably setup new 3G cities with HSPA+, once they get it working right.
Re: Much Better than Opera Mini 4 on BlackBerry
Ah, the fun of impulse posting. I really wish they'd integrate more BlackBerry shorcuts, like space to scroll down, T to jump to the top, etc... Using the number pad is a strain...
Opera Link isn't available in Beta, by the way.
It does run smoother than 4.2 and tabbed browsing = win.
