Re: Better Qchat Sprint Is?
Do you work in Sprint customer service? Your grammar looks like a lot of their outsourced reps talk. Reading your posts gave me a headache. Try using a period.
Re: Question
https://www.phonescoop.com/news/discuss.php?f m=m&ff=2487&fi=1422660
What capability makes the q9h different then the q9m as far as crippling? You said Verizon crippled the bluetooth on the h so you couldn't use your gps with it, I pointed out they both have the same bluetooth profiles.
I'm happy for you that the only example you can give is the one I gave. I guess that must mean all their phones are crippled since one feature has been delayed. I concede, you win, great job making stuff ...
Re: Mandatory $80 per month? (Another restriction )
Nope, and it never was except for Blackberries, but that has to do with a contract with Rimm. It is worth it to add the feature to get a discount, as you can always remove it since it is noncontractual.

Re: There is no mandatory minimum
You can actually get unlimited data starting at $20 up to $40 on individual plans, depending on how many minutes you have.
Re: Question
I'm guessing the 8830 doesn't have GPS so that they can sell VZ Navigator on it, like they are doing on the pearl.
The Q9H is the global version you are referring to, right? In your definition of "crippled" both are equally crippled, as they both have the same bluetooth profiles, as I already stated! Quit making stuff up like you did with the 8525.
And if you did do some research, it would be your's, not mine. How can ...
Re: Mandatory $80 per month? (Another restriction )
Do you mean a great typo by phonescoop?
Re: Question
I have read the entire thread and you haven't given one example. I was the one that pointed out the 8830, not you. You pointed out the Q9M which I pointed out is just as "crippled" the Q9H.
I wasn't choosing one or two devices, I am only saying what I have personal experience with. I am not going to do research on their entire lineup. My point was that most of their phones are not crippled anymore.
I'm ...
Re: Question
Hold on a second. According to phonescoop the TyTN has 128mb of ram, a 2mp camera, and it looks like both the TyTN and xv6800 both have a 400mhz processor. So I guess you're just making stuff up at this point.
Re: Question
Did you even read my post before replying? Or my original question? Or are you just trolling?
Re: Question
My point is most of Verizon's current devices are not crippled, which was the point of your original post. The "TyTN" is not the same as the "Mogul", you say that Verizon takes phones and disables features. I'll take your word that the 8525 has superior hardware, but you aren't comparing the same devices.
If your argument is Verizon can be really slow at releasing phones, I agree. This wasn't (until your last post) a VZW vs ATT thread. ...
Re: Beware of Costco cell phone stand business practices!!!!
Why do you need the customer's full social?
Re: Question
The xv6800 has the same amount of memory and same camera as Sprint's version. Try again.
Re: Question
That's interesting about the Q9M, because on Motorola's webpage, the Q9H is listed as having the same bluetooth profiles. Both only have A2DP and AVRCP or headset/hands-free and stereo profiles. So it doesn't look like the Q9H would support your GPS either (or maybe its crippled too!).
I transfer music and pictures from my computer without a USB cable, VZW's blessing, or third party software all the time. You can use a memory card to transfer all of that. Both ...
Question
Since you seem very knowledgeable on the subject, maybe you could educate me on what Verizon smartphones are crippled. I only know of the 8830 not being able to use GPS (yet).
You could even take it a step further and tell me what phones (non-smartphones) out of Verizon CURRENT lineup is crippled.
There is no mandatory minimum
Phonescoop just read the press release wrong. Verizon just mentioned that if you do sign up for the unlimited data, you can receive an additional discount. Plans start at $34.99.
Re: where's the BREW version
Uhh, you can get gmail access on any phone with mobile web and that's about to to be offered for free.
Re: Useless stock...
You keep making up different numbers, but you haven't mentioned operating cost. If verizon's operating at less then 4 trillion a year doesn't that make them profitable?
Re: Useless stock...??
Actually, you are incorrect. VZW's policy is if you have more then one year remaining in your conract, you can change your plan without renewing your contract. If there is less then one year remaining, you can change your plan with a one year contract from the date of the change. I think that's a pretty fair policy.
Re: How many people pay the ETF
Where in SF, CA do you get spotty reception at? There are very few places in the city verizon does not cover very well...
Re: How does the iPhone have 8 hour battery?
What does that do? I'm assuming it smartly disables things that aren't in use... So is apple that great that no other manufacturer has had something similar? Sounds like more hype...
How does the iPhone have 8 hour battery?
Did Apple somehow create something better then lithium ion?? I think the best battery life of current smartphones is the 8525 (correct me if I'm wrong) at 5 hours of rated talk time, the next closest being 4.5 with the treo 750. So is Apple just lying?? How the hell does the iPhone have an 8 hour talk time? Can anyone point out a phone to me that has ever had 8 hours?
Re: or NOT . . .
That wasn't me who made the original comment. I was replying to your lame post about cingular being more honest then vzw.
Re: or NOT . . .
TASCHALY said:
another great thing about vzw, reps not explaining an applicable promotion. more reason to buy from cingular...honesty. I guess I do work for the right company.
Oh please. So you're suggesting that every vzw rep is dishonest and every cingular rep is completely honest and explains every single promotion to every customer? There are bad reps for every company. A large part of a company's churn relies on weeding out the bad ones. Which in case you didn't know, ...

But as for my dad, he has worked in every sector of the oil industry, not to mention in the computer industry, and software industry, and is also a CPA, and we were talking about this as well in the production meeting with some of the VPs that have kids in college (and some of the adds are directed towards college kids), and we got to talking about it, and they agreed it was also a stupid, desperate ...
Re: consumer reports, proven flawed
It also says that McDonald's started using the same beans Starbuck's was using a year ago. The test was a blind taste test comparing plain coffee without any cream or sugar, but who drinks coffee like that? I'm sure a white mocha tastes better then plain McDonald's coffee, but way to take it out of context.
And I think the real point is regardless of how real consumer's report's results are for coffee or cellular service, millions of people ...
Re: Better Data/Text plans

rytr23 said:
Well, Tex.. I would say VZW has a network as good as cingular.. and they offer unlimited txt(in network +2500 out of network) and data.. for less than Cingy.. Cingular cannot even match that.
What do you mean by "for less than Cingy"? There is no comparison. Cingy doesn't offer unlimited text thus it can't be for less than Cingy. Cingular does offer 3000 messages for $19.99. VZW's unlimited in +2500 is $25. ...
Re: So when it breaks...
wow, didn't know apple's support was that good.
Re: Do people really like the idea of no buttons?
I don't make mistakes with my current WM5 phone. I just like the feedback of buttons. I can dial and text without looking at my keypad with my current non-pda phone. My point was not having any real buttons is a major drawback for me.
Re: So when it breaks...
But I'm talking about water/physical damage and loss/theft. Is Apple's warranty going to cover that?
Do people really like the idea of no buttons?
I think its a cool concept on paper, but in real use it may suck. My biggest gripe with phones like the razr is the flat keypad, because I can't feel the buttons. I have a xv6700 and I hate dialing from the touch screen. Even if Apple improved the touch screen, I can't see it being that much better.
So when it breaks...
or you lose it, you're screwed. Last time I checked Cingular won't insure a phone this expensive. :lol:
Re: Sprint will be number 1 in two years
Platypus,
What is the point of this thread other then to try to create drama? I'm glad to see that it hasn't deteriorated yet to useless fanboyism, but I'm sure that was your intention.
Why wasn't this posted in the Cingular forum? They have the most customers at the moment.
This forum really needs some moderation...
Re: maybe you should get a clue, first -- after your prescribed chill pill
Uhh... Dell, HP, Compaq, etc are equipment manufacturers, the same as Motorola, Nokia, or LG. ISPs are service providers, not content providers. Verizon is mainly a service provider, but also provides content through vcast. And you said it yourself, they will go after 'the entities making the content available,' wouldn't that be verizon?
If inappropriate material did show up, both youtube and verizon could be held accountable, which is why they are working together to select videos.

Re: 8600 first impressions
Yea, I still prefer the 8300. But the 8600 will definitely be a popular phone.
Re: 8600 first impressions
Ok, so I have a real one now. Reception is great. 4 bars of 1x and 3 of evdo, my 8300 is only getting one ev. Speaker phone is ok, but much better on the 8300, same goes for music playback.
The UI have the original vzw but with different, better looking bars. There's something very similar to the 8300's silver spin. And a third option that scrolls up and down.
8600 first impressions
Almost identical size to the RAZR, but the front flip goes down further so it doesn't have that big thing sticking out below the keypad. Ugly chrome rim around the outside flip. Gloss black outside like the chocolate. I don't like the keypad, it's flat like the razr. Someone needs to make a flat phone with a raised keypad.
It doesn't open as far as a razr, so the mouth piece is at a better angle. Overall good looking phone, ...
Re: *228 and EZ-Pay
Did you try manually programming it? Was the phone erroring out immediately or are you getting a voice error? Sometimes just powercycling the phone will help stuff like that.
And an easypay payment can be refunded within 15 days, but it is through a mail check.
