Re: Just In Time...
I was really interested in getting this phone, and I thought for sure it was going to be out before the share plan thing was going to start. But I am so glad I went for the Samsung S3. I heard it had a great camera so I went for it (I always had great experience with HTC camera phones so wanted it but so glad I got the s3) I figured the math out for ...
Camera
I like that the this phone is staying at 4" screen and not bigger. The only thing is the camera, I am a bit upset that the HTC one will have a better camera. Everything else I am happy about, I actually do not like the huge sizes phones are going and think the 4" is in between being too small and too large. I got an iPad and a Kindle Fire, don't need another tablet ...
Re: Not $299
when will it be released? tomorrow?
NYC
Lets see, NYC might happen in the next century?
Re: trade Incredible for thunderbolt?
I did, I got this phone and turned in my Incredible. I live in Brooklyn, NY, so I have steady 4G coverage. I actually thought the Incredible had worse battery life then this Thunderbolt. I got the extended 2750 battery for the Incredible and so I got it for the Thunderbolt too. It actually makes less of difference on the Thunderbolt then the Incredible. Because the Incredible felt like a think light phone and ...
Re: People want this crap
I actually love the idea of cell phones. Before they came out I couldn't stand the idea of having to stay at home to wait for a phone call. That concept for me or excuse for anyone else is a thing of the past and for me it is by far very liberating. In NYC kids start in 5th grade being allowed to take public transportation on their own to school, so that is around ...
huge bill
Hi I am one of those with a huge bill. I have a treo 650 and I am pretty sure I got it because I was trying to send a MMS picture msg which did not work and kept sending the same msg over and over again. I did not know that this counts towards data or minutes or something. Plus it did not work, the pic msg kept sending and sending and did not work. ...
Re: Does anyone NOT like the Treo 650 - I am a hesitant shopper
I just located the options that lets you put your next date book even on the phone top screen.
Re: Does anyone NOT like the Treo 650 - I am a hesitant shopper
What real estate software do you use? Just curious. Actually I have the treo 650 and my husband who is a real estate agent has a samsung i730. So i have been playing with both. I have been using Palm OS now for a very long time, years, since palm was US Robotics Pilot. So I will not switch to windows mobile. The things I have noticed is overall I like PalmOS better more ...
treo 650 networking
I used to have a treo 600 and upgraded to the treo 650. To use the internet I would set networking preference to dial up my ISP. It worked on my 600 but is not working on my 650. I set it up the same way so i am wondering if anyone else has this problem and knows how to make it work.
bluetooth i730 vs treo 650
Hi does anyone know if the bluetooth headphones work better or worse on either phone or the same. My husband has the i730 but has not used bluetooth headphones with it. A lot of people have the treo650's at his office and say the bluetooth headphones aren't that great. Just wondering if that would be the same for the i730.
Re: i730 vs. Treo 650
I have a treo 600. Also if for some reason, which happened to my 600 once, a hard reset happens and everthing is lost, when you hotsync it everything is restored, and I mean everything. All the 3rd party software and additional installs get installed back into your phone and all your preferences get put back, ring selections, sound preferences, call history, everything, like nothing happened. This is a first for me because all my regular ...
Re: Help ---> can i sink i730 w/ palm software?????
What about just the contacts and date book? I know in palm desktop you can export your address book with comma delineation. Can that be imported into the windows thing software?
Re: using your own isp for interent
Is it per MB or kilobyte. WHen I called in for my treo 600 they said it was so many cents for KB which was outragous. Meaning it made no sense to use it unless you get the unlimited. But $45ish extra dollars a month is also a lot. I know that calling up my own ISP uses minutes but I only check things and I can write/read emails offline. Also on weekends and ...
using your own isp for interent
Hi presently I have a treo 600 and to use the interent I have it dial into my own ISP phone number and therefore forgo the data charges. I do not know anything about windows PDA software, so I was wondering if this had the same option of a network setting option to be able to dial in my own ISP and therefore forgoing the verizon wireless data call that I know dials 777 or something like that.
internet access
Ok I used to have a kyocera 6035 and then I went to regular flip phones and now I just got a treo 600. They have changed a lot so as to not let you use the internet unless you pay 15c per K or $44.95 unlimited or somewhere sort of inbetween. Well with a regular cell phone you get $4.99 unlimited access so I am stunned, flabergasted, disgusted at this. THe old kyo 6035 smartphone had included ...
note pad
I just got a treo 600 and there is no note pad included on the phone software although it is in the desktop palm software. Is there way to install the note pad app separately onto the phone and where can I get it.
Re: Recording ringtones
You can make them sound alright. You have to play with the distance of the phone microphone to the source until it sounds best. This phone needs to be very close to the source to sound ok. It is the opposite of the 7000, when the 7000 recorded to close to the source it sounded distorted.
Re: Recording ringtones
I have not found any that are good quality that you pay for? Not from any Get it Now places, the ringtones are terrible arrangements of songs, they all sound cheesie to me. Does anyone have recomendations of ringtones that are not arranged cheesily?
Re: Vcast takes over 45 seconds to load!
I live in Brooklyn and VCast has never been good for me and whenever I try it while I am out and about in the city it still isn't good. Takes forever to get to the home screen and then loading the video takes a while. It is fun but not worth $15/month for me especially because of the long times of downloads.
Re: ATTENTION NYC AND LONG ISLAND NY 8000 USERS
I live in Brooklyn, the call reception is good, no problems. The EVDO tho is not that great. In my house it does not work, it always goes in and out therefore making the download times for the video take forever and then it always has to rebufer. Whenever I try the EVDO it never works that well.
software upgrade?
Hi is there a software upgrade for this phone since it first came out that fixes the problem of where when you answer the phone it takes a couple of seconds before the phone call kicks in?
Re: camera
Try messing around with the ISO settings for the blurry ness of moving subjects. The higher the ISO the less blurryness you will get for moving subjects but the picture is a bit more grainy. I haven't figured out how to get the flash not to make people blue. Maybe try the white balance.
camera tips
I noticed some of you have remarked on the camera showing motion to much for live subjects. I noticed this to and it did bother me, it does do it more then the 7000. But if you go into the ISO setting and change it from automatic to ISO 800 it helps with this matter, it gives you a faster shutter speed so less motion is shown. The thing is, is that 800 is a ...
Re: A couple of questions
Ok I found it, it is on the page website where you look at get tones and stuff. Of course there is a charge for this function. $1.99 per year and .99c per month so I would look into this if you don't wnat the extra charge if you have this feature and they just put it on without asking you (This feature only in parts of CA). Verizon reps are really annoying. I first ...
Re: A couple of questions
This is the weirdest thing! So like when I call someone through the phone I hear it ringing, so you are saying instead of ringing that your hear music? Anyway if this is the case I would assume that it is not on the phone where you would change it but in the menu of where you deal with your voicemail. This is just a hunch.
Re: Samsung is best of the new 3 - Mini Review with 8000/890
The samsung did feel the best when I tried it at the store construction wise. But is the outside screen as crisp and clear as the 8000? Can you view your gallery photos, txt msgs and missed calls from the outer screen? Does the samsung have the awesome "record New" function the 8000 has? Can you assign multiple speed dials under one name in the contacts list? IS the UI as intuitive as the ...
Re: Traded in the 8000 for 7000
Actually I had the 7000, still have it in my possesion and now have the 8000. The size is a bigger difference in real life then it seems on paper. The 8000 is considerably wider and a decent amount taller then the 7000. In fact when you open up the phone to use the keypad buttons they are so much larger on the 8000. I always thought the 7000 was a bit big but next ...
Why has no one gotten this phone?
If someone has it, how is it?
Re: Picture ID on the outside??
No picture ID on the outer screen. you also can't put your photos as wallpaper on the outer screen. The vx8000 has all of this, Picture ID on the outer screen, your pictures as wallpapers on the outerscreen. Not only that but you can view your text messages and your gallery from the outerscreen and your mp3s. Great phone the 8000 eventho it is a bit large. I got the 8940 first because of ...
Re: Does the Samsung SCH-A890 have External Picture Caller ID?
My niece has the a670 samsung and that one has picture ID on the outer display so I would suppose the a890 would too. But if you go to the store you can check this in the store. I had them do it for me because no one there new that much about the 3 phones. They checked the 8940 and the 8000 and figured out that the 8940 doesn't while the 8000 does. They ...
Re: another quesion about EVDO
So if you don't pay the $15/month for the VCAST do you still get the mobileweb at evdo speed?
another quesion about EVDO
Ok if you decide not to pay the $15/month, but to pay just the $4.99 for the web is this web at EVDO spead or just the 1xrt speed it used to be. As I said I live in brooklyn, ny and have not noticed the difference in speed using the mobileweb with evdo as opposed to how it was before. How about everyone else?
Also do use the EVDO as a modem is it required to pay ...
How is everyone finding the VCAST, do you think it is worth it?
I live in Brooklyn, NY and the VCAST isn't that great. The EV sign goes in and out and it is kind of slow, the whole process to view videos, opening up the Get Flix and then the video and then downloading the video, and then while it is playing it sometimes has to stop and rebuffer. How is everyone else finding VCAST? Is it worth the $15/month? I am doing the 2 months free ...
Re: photo ID ??
THe outside LCD on the 8000 is awesome. THe picture ID comes up, you can also set your pictures as wallpapers on the outside LCD and they look great. I also got the 8940 but returned it because the outside LCD is just a color version of the monotone LCDs.
Re: Not big and ugly
You know what? I just did a comparison of the Motorola Raz V3 and this phone. THe dimensions of the v3 are larger except for the depth. So eventho it is cool, when the phone is folded the v3 is taller and wider.
8100
How about the 8100? When is that coming out? It looks like it will be more of a normal size, more like the 6000 size with the 8000 features and bluetooth.
accessories like battery
When are the accessories like batteries going to be available?
Re: went to store today got 8940
Well I returned the 8940 for the 8000. I was so used to the 7000 and the 8940 didn't even compare to that. The size of it is great and it does feel sturdy but the 7000 and 8000 are much better phones. For instance the picture id on the 8940 does not work for the outer display. The inner display picture id only works if you have the flip set to not answer, useless. ...
Re: went to store today got 8940
I got 7000 at full price
