Re: Gosh can't people just. . .
Of course not. It's a D!ck waiving contest started by palm, and it has turned into a "sword fight" in the boy's restroom in highschool. Palm trying to be the new big guy, apple defending it's title. Whole thing seems silly, but really, palm needs to just stop playing games and just do the same thing Blackberry does.
Re: 350 after 100 dollar rebate?
For new nextel BB, yep, but you can do it with a 7100i. I mean, who cares about the data on that thing anyway! :-P
I'm new to these products...
Since this has cell radios, does that mean it doubles as a phone? Or just can use the data network?
Re: FULL STATEMENT FROM APPLE
It actually doesn't violate anti-trust laws. Jeffro gave a perfect real world example of what this is the equivalent to. Ford cars in a chevy dealership. Why don't people get that?
And if anyone tries to claim apple is slowing technology, they need to look at apple's track record for innovation and design. If anything, apple has furthered it, and forced the industry to step up.
But seriously, can anyone find a copy of the "anti-trust" laws, and quote what ...
A quick question... Maybe not quick.
So... let me get something straight.
Everyone is pissed cause Apple doesn't want to allow another company's user interface on their device, that uses their software, to sell in their store.
Apple owns the app store. The hardware, and the internal software. It's theirs. They spent a sh*t ton of time developing it. And now, we are going to want to get an "apple" phone, to run a "google" application?
Forget the childish argument of "I bought it, I should ...
Re: Can't run applications from the expansion card?
I have one. It's true. I only had 73 megs free space out of the box. It's really frustrating how little flash memory they put in the device.
Re: FULL STATEMENT FROM ZER01
That's what they get for using people with criminal records as their marketing group. Maybe they were preemptive in announcing their products?
Meant for my ace
You can't believe that sprint isn't just waiting for normal consumers to buy this device and get overages. They are. They're rubbing their maniacal hands together just waiting...
Just becuase it is "meant for business" doesn't mean consumers wont try and use it. How many "consumers" do you know use blackberries and don't even need corp email, or even email altogther? Don't be fooled. This thing is going to rake in the cash.
Re: $160 is a bit much!
I use an average of 20-30 gb a month. Go netflix and audio work.
Re: totally incorrect
Probably right... damn internet pRON.
Re: Forget the price, imagine using one connection with 32 users!
The $500 overage cap would be reached in minutes.
Re: $160 is a bit much!
I think they need to stop making this crap altogether, cause anyone connecting to 3g on sprint is gonna hit that 5gb limit in a flash. And I don't really feel like dealing with their complaining over the phone. I hate cellular data services...
Re: 'Bout time
I'm curious about something... A manufactuer creates a device that they want to always run smoothly, and wants to ensure that their software is used (voice app). I don't understand why it's such a big deal to have a company say no to their competitor software... wouldn't that be like sony making software for nintendo? The cellphone war is awful similar to the videogame console war. I'm just saying, I really don't see why everyone is hating apple because ...
Re: Hmmm....
That's the business engine though. Pick your side, cause there always is one.
Re: Cell Ban???
I don't think a cell ban is necessary. The hands free thing is just fine, but certainly no texting or hands on phone use. It's risky and puts people's lives at risk.
Re: Hahahaha love it
Why doesn't palm just get proper licensing for iTunes? Seriously, this is really going to get messy, and palm will lose. Not only will they have lose the money for the lawsuit, but also the money spent in developing their hacks. It seems really childish and spiteful to keep doing it this way.
Re: why
Ya know, you sound like a very well informed guy. However, that doesn't mean you represent the average McCain supporter. Conservatives usually care about 2 things politically: Abortion, and Religion. If you're a candidate who is against abortion, and very christian, you can basically count of at least 50% of the conservative votes, and that's a "conservative" guess.
Realistically, you are an exception to the general rule of conservative intelligence. Be happy about that, but realize that most conservative ...
Re: Awsome!!!!
Linux... that's hopeful! I don't even KNOW any linux users honestly. Hahaha. I work in a call center with 600 people! I bet 1 or 2 use it, but man... They're hiding!
But as a mac user, I returned the BB specifically because it didn't work with my mac. I might be inclined to sell my G1 and get a BB. Maybe. Maybe.
Re: UNLTD DATA CARD
My comcast has a 100gb limit. It's to "deter high profile pirating." Eh, whatev. I imagine with my netflix, I get kinda close to 50-60 gb each month, and that's just one computer. I think the limit is a little... silly. Deter pirates by punishing pirates. Not normal people. Damnit!
Re: Shift change... night to morning. Ugh
But I don't DO things! I'm a musician. I stay at home, and make music. Or play games. I could do that before!
Though, the important reason is that I will be able to see my daughter more. My previous schedule made it difficult.
Shift change... night to morning. Ugh
I just changed my schedule from mon/wed/fri, 1PM to 10 PM to mon-fri 6AM to 1PM... omg... this sucks!
I wonder though...
I think with with the higher profile devices, people rate them less than fairly due to higher expectations, and fanboy/Hater BS. I imagine both the storm and iPhone's rating are realistically higher than those numbers. For some reason, people get emotionally invested in apple/BB products. And others.
Just saying, that's all.
Sprint's new MiFi service item...
Does anyone else feel this is asking for some serious trouble? I work for sprint (whatever) and the 5gb data limit looms in the distance with this device... I really see this being a very... very bad idea... I bet I'm going to get put on an adjustment block again cause of this crap.
Re: Who cares...About the Staff?
Maybe I'm the only one stuck in the middle on this issue... I really do see both points.
I don't necessarily see the bad outweighing the good. Are we really so quick to assume the prison guards aren't doing their jobs? From what I understand, there are tons of claims of cruelty in prison, where guards do their job, or sometimes more (even if it's extreme).
I'm wondering if there would be a way to isolate the cell phone ...
Re: Images of Mobile Devices by Manufacturer Required
This website has a great resource for that honestly. Most phones have images. Otherwise, you're going to have to hunt and peck on google.
Re: i got caught looking....
I should try that on the phones... "What's up i880, yea you. Wats up? No, it's cool you want to cancel, how do you feel about long distance? You like flying?"
Re: Somebody's been drinking the Haterade.
Hahaha. Seriously. I work for sprint, and think they're making bad decision after bad decision, but I'm telling ya, I barely see any SERO (now called employee referral plus) plans. It's the Simply everything plans that are keeping us going! hahaha. I don't have anything to do with the racist mobile (boost)thing though, so I'm ignant regarding that. Yeah. Ignant.
Re: Ok!
Sprint's bonus/pay system for the outsourced company I work for is pretty shady. I'll try and keep it simple:
Pay per call. Amount per call adjusted by your "issue resolution." Issue resolution is determined by "randomly" surveying customers about 2-4 days after the call, and directly asking "was your issue resolved" as well as other questions. The amount you're paid per call can be anywhere from 1.11 per call, up to about 2.06 per call (highest I saw). IR is ...
I'm served by 3 carriers? Or 6 even?
Um... what kind of BS statement is that. I'm taking it literally, so if someone wants to look into what he could possibly actually mean, I'm open to suggestions, cause we all know that's a load of gigantic BS. Most people have 1 phone/carrier, but some business people have 2... but 3? Or even 6? WTF.
Re: ASCAP sues AT&T seeking royalties on ringtones heard in public
I have mixed feelings. If the royalties are paid to the artist, and not the companies, I'm all for it, simply because the artists are robbed by the record companies so much already. If it goes to the company and the artist, lame sauce all the way.
In a way, we have kind of created this situation by piracy, which was created by high costs of CDs, which in the end, was caused by the companies stealing from artists. If ...
Re: Nothing about this seems "Latest and Greatest"
Just to play devil's advocate...
Who really needs mass storage out of their phone? Like... really? On your phone?
Why do people keep complaining about the lack of SD cards with more than sufficient internal capacity, in which you can store much larger (and more stable) amount of apps/games?
Whats the deal with people digging physical keyboards? I feel like it's wasted hardware. I'm paying for a keyboard when I have a touch screen phone? Bah! F that noise.
Why do we care ...
Re: Nothing about this seems "Latest and Greatest"
Ya know, I always thought Nokia was a great company for functional phones, but this sounds kinda lame.
For as much as the iPhone is dominating the phone scene, Companies should either look to do something totally different to draw attention away, or improve on the things that work well with it, rather than doing half-assed versions. Whether we like it or not, the iPhone has begun to set some serious standards for the functionality of user interfaces and functionality. ...
Re: Copy much?
Actually, Sprint's price will be 199.99 after all the rebates and such.
Re: Who Dated their customer?
Hahaha, well, at least you have the option of dating a customer. I'm on the phones, and who knows what lagoon creature is on the other end... and they're almost always long distance... no fun. Plus the calls are recorded, and we can get fired for giving out our info. :-P
Re: APPLE!?!?!?!
Well... Oops... :-P
Re: APPLE!?!?!?!
Yeah, that's what I thought. Not that I'm trying to play up apple (though I'm an avid apple product user when it doesn't involve AT&T). I just know that wma isn't the standard, and in fact, I can't remember, but isn't wma slightly lower quality? I at least didn't care for the type of dither used (if any) with windows media, but that was years ago, maybe it's improved. I still dig 256 kbps mp3 currently. Or Aiff files. ...
Re: APPLE!?!?!?!
Industry standard WMA format? Last time I checked, MP3 was the standard, not the proprietary WMA...
Re: Laptops?
I think this will have a ton of uses, including vehicles if the oil companies lay off and let things go. Automotive companies should be smart and buy out the patent, so they can license the patent to anything from cell phones, to MP3 Devices, Video game units and controllers (come on, that would be awesome, wireless controllers you only had to charge once a week!), laptops and hey, lets be even more creative... adult products. How often do ...
Re: No investigation needed, here is how to never have 3rd party charges again!
Ya know, as a call center monkey, I get a ton of these, and though I agree, people should read the fine print, the real issue is that the spam companies KNOW they're selling crap with sprinkles on top. They know they're ripping people off, and it's ridiculous that it's even legal since it's so misleading. Rather than signing people up automatically for "voting" there should still be an authorize text where the customer has to text a specific ...
Re: Multitasking question...
I'm an employee for sprint/nextel, and honestly, I really don't care for the pre at all. It just doesn't cut it. Its like a work phone trying to be an iphone, and I think it just kinda failed at both. Its neat in concept, but I agree that palm could have done a lot better. I laugh everytime sprint releases a new "iPhone killer" cause even as an employee, I don't buy it. Sprint should have chose to license ...
