Re: For you cingular users

in the Samsung SCH-A990 forum

I am a cingular user - I now use the Blackberry 8700c and like it. I had the s710a - with updated firmware - it is big and the UI is VERY VERY slow. It's sitting in a drawer unused because of that. I will say though that the camera onm the s710a is awsome.

Also, why exactly is this hypocritical? I dont see what point you are trying to make.

Your Security System Analogy does not hold water. You have 911 at your house if you have a Phone Line from the Telco. Your comparing apples and oranges. Would an alarm in my car help me if I was in a car accident? The reason that you NEED government mandate is becouse without it the mobile carriers would never deploy the technology. The only thing that they care about is "creating shareholder value" - aka MONEY.

Rich - I am with you. And I am very glad you are covering this topic. Thank you. Being a Husband and father of 2 young kids, e911 services is critical to me. Many people I know got their first cell phone for safety reasons. I.e breaking down on the highway etc. I will admit, prior to getting married and having kids (I am assuming the first poster is single w/o kids - or just does not ...

Yes. This technology will change the paradigm of how networks are designed, minute usage plans, and will have a big effect on current VOIP providers. If you can use your broadband w/ your cell, why would you buy Vonage?

From my understanding UMA was designed to work with GSM and not CDMA. I tend to wonder where that leaves CDMA.

You dont think the UMA stuff is totally sweet? I think that is the biggest and most disruptive technology we will see in the near future for cell phones.

Reliable cell phone coverage at my house would be just GREAT!!! The question is will the carriers (Cingular I would think) be ready for this in q1?

Just buy the phone from Amazon and pay cingular the 30$ or whatever to port your number after you get the phone set up. I did this.

I am having the SAME issues. I am also having issues where the BT on the ohne just shuts off on me. It is very frustrating. Also, if the Headset is already powered on and I turn the BT on the phone on, it will not pair up. WTF?

I'm tellin you - this phone has been a let down. If they could just fix the buggy OS it would be fine. I have an SE bluetooth headset and it is CONSTANTLY falling offline with the phone!

Am I the only one frustrated with this phone?

OK - so i was like many of you waiting for this phone and was totally phsyched when I got it. I was willing to overlook the slowness of the interface and a couple of the other minor issues. But I am getting ever frustrated with the following issues... Bluetooth not stable - shutting down on its own lass than 10 seconds after beeing turned on Data communications issues - I am now on my third issue with the WAP/MMS stuff ...

Called SE - they said it is 1.1 That is rediculous since this phone is brand new.

I called SE about another issue and asked about this. They said that it is VERY common to have new formware home out for their phones. They said it is $37 and you send them the phone and they flash it.

no... he means 1.1 or 1.2 - 1.2 supports higher bandwidth and thus better sound quality on BT headsets. If you look at the new BT headsets they talk about 1.2 support. I would like to know if this phone supports 1.2 as well.

After reading a good review I picked up this headset. Seems pretty good. However, as i increase the volume there is some hissing/white noise in the background. Is this the norm for Bluetooth headsets? This is my first.

I was able to pair the phone no problem(Bluetooth)... but the phone does not show up. This is causing issues with other apps - sync, Mobile networking wizard. HELP!

Go to the SE support site and pull up the s710a - there is a ton of software out there for it - including file transfer software.

I ordered it anyway, but I am a little nervous. The rep I bought it from said "great phone, it's to bad about the weak RF on SE phones" TWO of the stores I was at this weekend "We dont sell SE phones becouse they get bad reception. Motorolla is much better" What are the experiences you guys have had with this?

RF Sensitivity speculation.

From past SE phones, or like models, does anyone have an idea how well this phone will do at recieeving and holding onto weak signals?

Called a local store that had a knowledgeable sales rep. He said that he checked his pending orders to be delivered and there were no s710a's in the orders. He said that means best case scenario they are still a few (Business)days out.

Does anyone know of any stores in New England that have this phone? I saw one post that mentioned CT, but I was hoping for something a little closer to NH. Thanks!
