Question Re: RAZR V3c PC Synch capabilities...
Hi all,
Anyone know if the CDMA version of the RAZR offers PC synch capabilities?
The GSM versions (original V3 & new V3i) are listed as offering PC synch capabilities on Phone Scoop, but PC synch is NOT listed on Phone Scoops info list for the CDMA version RAZR V3c...
Thanks!

PC Synch??? Does it really not exist?
Hello all,
Running thru the list of features for this phone that are listed on Phonescoop's website:
https://www.phonescoop.com/phones /phone.php?p=767
It does *NOT* list "PC Synch" as one of the phone's capabilities? Can that really be true? Or was that just an omission?
The original GSM version of this phone can synch with your PC's calendar, contacts, etc.
Anyone know for *certain*???
Thanks & cheers,
Kega
Re: date for verizon?
SForsyth01 said:
Like the prior post said, it is posted on Engadget that it will be out on the 28th.
I hope that is correct, as I am certainly looking forward to purchasing this phone.
However, the sales people in the Verizon stores that I have talked to have either said they "hope" they have it by Christmas and some have even said they don't expect it until the beginning of next year... :(
Personally, I hope you are right ...
Re: When will Nokia 6255i BE OUT?? Next week????
I dropped by the Verizon store in Costa Mesa today & the reps working there claimed sometime next week they would be getting the Nokia's in...
Of course, in the past these people have been horribly unreliable (Verizon's sales people in their stores seem to be a universally uninformed lot).
The good news is that today when I asked them about the Nokia 6256 they had at least actually "heard" of the phone & are claiming it ...
Re: Do not bother to ask sprint about the phone
60660 said:
I think that letter pretty much hints that they have no plans at releasing the Nokis 6255i model at all, for all of you whom were wondering about Sprint offering this phone.
Either that or Sprint's customer service is clueless. I suspect (hope) it is the latter...
cheers all,

Any *RECENT* info on release dates & carriers???
Anyone got any new/recent updates on who will be carrying this phone & when???
Especially with regards to Sprint & Verizon adopting & offering this phone???
Any info would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance.

Someone must have a way to make it uncrippled. I would say its in the phones BIOS and a simple making it say cripple=false should work, no? Custom firmware? I'm willing to sacrifice my warranty to get it uncrippled. If not I think we call can say **** you to VZW and go to Cingular
Ha ha. You'd switch from Verizon to Cingular because of a phone?!? Are you kidding me? Wow...

Ive already mentioned I dont work for them nor have I ever or intend to. I am just trying to explain how rediculous the case against Verizon is going to be. I apologize if anyone has taken offense to any of my posts but if you guys really want to persue this then you have to look at it from all different angles and understand each and every side there is. You guys are not understanding the business ...
Re: Just got to play with one
Yeah, didn't Verizon just get served with a class action suit over that???
I thought I heard about a class action suit based on false advertising taking place in San Francisco regarding their crippling the bluetooth functionality & then advertising it as "bluetooth capable..."
Anyone else hear about that?
I would think that would make Verizon think twice about crippling another phone.

Re: Opinions/Advice Please...
I think the V551 is the best phone in town for you then. It doesn't have issues like the MPx220 has been reported to have. Also, so far all the early reviews on the V551 have been positive, but you might want to wait a week or two until more come in, only 4 have been posted as I write this...
Hope that helps.
cheers,
kega
Re: v3 received today please read
sdgeiger said:
I'd go with the V551 before I'd go with the MPx220.
Ditto. Almost as many features, but so far no bad reviews & the bluetooth ain't crippled, i.e. the bluetooth on the V551 allows voice dialing thru a bluetooth headset.
The only other option would be to wait for the Nokia 6255i or until they fix the V710 (don't hold your breath on that one...)
cheers,
kega
Re: v3 received today please read
MobilePhoneJunkie,
Thanks for the review. :)
Btw, the MPx220 was getting mixed reviews last time I checked. Plus, voice dialing is not supported thru a bluetooth headset for that phone.
You might want to consider the V551. So far the reviews seem pretty positive for that phone, but it just came out and there still aren't very many reviews to judge by either.
Good luck!

Does that include responding to other people's posts? Or are you claiming 16 "original" threads that I started???
How many of those were "original" threads where I posted the "first" post starting the thread regarding bluetooth & voice dialing???
Yes, I would like to see that, I know that ain't 16. ...

Re: Still a "Go" for Feb or March '05
jackel said:
Talked with a Nokia rep today and she said the phone is still slated for the top of 2005 for US Cellular and Verizon. She believes that it will be an amazing phone.
I own a US Cellular location and this phone will put the Moto V710 to shame. So many bad reviews.
Nokia has always made quality products so I can't see them introducing a clamshell that has issues.
Can't wait.
I thought the last "reported" date for ...

I believe 20 posts to be a vast exageration also. I think maybe a couple of posts, NOT including posts back & forth discussing the issue. :)

Re: Unlocking the V3 - GOODBYE CINGULAR ? ? ?
This is a forum for discussion no? If someone posts a thoughtful & reasoned post why attack him? I attacked no one. Several people in here have politely disagreed. I appreciate that.
Others, because they were "bored" (and posted so in the Cingular forum) came in here looking for trouble. I was not trying to start trouble, just posting a reasonable opinion.

I expressed a polite & valid opinion. Others, because they were bored, decided to flame me. Check out the Cingular forum if you don't believe me. Also, please do not misquote me...

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I was hoping people would take it the way you did & respond with some useful info as you did. I truly appreciate that. Thanks.
I guess my original post was not to complain about 1 thing, but that several things were adding up to frustrate me.
I was truly looking forward to getting this phone & switching to Cingular. Now, I am pretty disappointed with the whole process. The ...

Thanks Dura. I appreciate the considered response and the info. Sure beats getting flamed for what was a rather tame original post. lol
Like I said in the original post though, it was a combination of ALL 3 things that have pushed me to the edge. Everyone seems to have just picked out the "price" gripe & focused on that...
Well, not entirely true. They said at first that I was wrong about the ...

You address only one issue again...

AshleighP said:
so what kind of a phone are you looking for it sounds like you want a PDA that can to everything but not pay much for it?
The V710, if Verizon hadn't crippled the bluetooth.
The Nokia 6255i, has many more features than the V3, but not out yet.
The MPx220 if voice-dialing worked thru a bluetooth headset (it doesn't).
The V551 fits the bill. It is only $150(???) I think...
So basically, the V3 has less features than a ...
Re: Unlocking the V3 - GOODBYE CINGULAR ? ? ?
It is a "basic" feature phone, other than bluetooth. Most basic phones have all of the features of the RAZR V3 (or more) except bluetooth.
I have done comparisons using the Phonescoop phone finder on here extensively. It doesn't have much other than it's thin, its looks and bluetooth.

Re: Unlocking the V3 - GOODBYE CINGULAR ? ? ?
Actually, I had "good" information.
I posted that question in the Cingular forum & found out that Cingular did indeed used to sell their world phones unlocked.
They stopped it after they put into place some international roaming agreements so now they can lock the phone to them & charge for roaming overseas where they couldn't do that before...
IMHO, this does validate what I said about them earlier... They are getting greedy!
You can check out the thread in the Cingular ...
Re: RAZR V3 - Locked or Unlocked???
speck said:
actually when those threads were out our World Phones WERE being sold unlocked... because we did not have enough roaming agreements int'l... Now we feel we do so the phones are being sold locked once again.
Okay, so that was where it came from! I "knew" that I read it somewhere...

1rst- Cingular has never sold to ANYONE an unblocked phone.
2nd- Cingular offers more minutes than VZW PLUS rollover.
3rd- You get what you pay for.
First, others have posted on these forums that Cingular has always sold their phones unlocked... Maybe that was a B.S. post, but it has been posted.
Second, here is my plan, let's see Cingular match it:
800 Anytime minutes
1000 Mobile-to-mobile minutes
Unlimited nights & weekends starting @ 8 p.m.
Toll-free nationwide long-distance
$45 per month

RAZR V3 - Locked or Unlocked???

If you get a phone from Cingular you can guarantee it is locked! As far as defeating the purpose of haveing a world phone locked, it's bussiness! We have international roaming agreements with most major carriers around the world therefore giveing you functionality in most countries.
In that case, Cingular will NOT be getting my business!
I "had" looked forward to purchasing the RAZR V3 and leaving Verizon behind after the V710 fiasco. Now this thread has ...
