Disappointment
The HTC Tilt2 by AT&T Wireless was sheer disappointment. This phone has nice features, which are great. The toushscreen response is very slow and it really lags. This could really be a good phone otherwise. It has really great features otehrwise.
Re: hasn't the Verizon Wireless merger completed???
Nevermind...I see that Alltel is still in business in some markets.
hasn't the Verizon Wireless merger completed???
All Alltel accounts in Virginia are Verizon Wireless now and the Alltel stores have closed.

Re: Typing question for the E62
It is located above the K key in blue.
Re: Stay with Verizon or move to Cingular
Mif, I go up and down the east coast and never have I had a problem with Cingular service. Cingular has given me coverage in areas where no one else had coverage including Verizon Wireless. I've gotten coverage in major metropolitan areas, as well as suburban and rural areas with Cingular. It has been great for me. My brother has Cingular and travels all over the country and the only place he's had issues with Cingular coverage was in ...
Re: How long is the Sprint Exclusivity Contract???
Generally, the exclusivity contract usually lasts 6 months but that can vary.
Re: How to deactivate the trackball????

Re: Not very different
I wish it released the version with the camera on it at the same time. I prefer the full keyboard but enjoy the option of having the camera on my phone as well.
Re: How to deactivate the trackball????
Having the latest software update for the Pearl also helps with this as well. A lot of the bugs that were found in the Pearl when it was first released September 12, 2006n have been fixed with the new software updates.
Re: unlock it?
You can't get the sidekick unlocked. If you could, only the phone and sms would work.
Re: VOICE DIAL?????
Where did you get this? Can you provide a link?
Re: anyone find it slow?
I do not find it slow either. I have been using it since it was released. If you don't close out the running apps and delete temp files, as you do a windows PC, then it will run slow and/or some apps won't run at all because it'll tell you that you don't have enough memory to do so.
It has good reception, good call quality, loud speakerphone (much louder than the Pearl who's battery door covers the speaker). ...
Re: any virus we need to worry about on the internet?
Look on www.smartphone.net or www.handango.com or www.smartphone-freeware.com or the like. You can also google windows mobile 5 applications. I seem to think that I have seen some type of antivirus software. I'll look again to see if I can find exactly where I saw it.
Re: Email on unlocked phone
You need a data plan with Cingular to be able to use the email. If I'm not mistaken, once you get the settings for Cingular set up on the Dash, then that should remove the T-Mobile software. Cingular's data support department should be able to give you the settings with no problem. You may be able to send them to your phone via Cingular's website. IF not, then contact their data support department. They should ...
Re: Bluetooth!!?
Are the bluetooth headsets paired with your device yet? Is the bluetooth on your Dash turned on as well?
I've noticed that when I receive phone calls that although my bluetooth headset is paired with my Dash that I have to go into the menu when on a phone call and turn on the on if I answer from the Dash, but if I answer from the bluetooth headset then I don't have to do that.
Send more details about your ...
Re: E61 BB / Tmobile - HELP!!!
BB no mo, tmail is the email acount that comes with the sidekick. Tmail is for the sidekick only and doesnt carry over to other data devices at T-Mobile.
You should be able to use the BB data plan with the Nokia E61 with no problem from my understanding. Yet, you're correct the total internet add on plan is for the MDA, Dash, etc and not for BB devices or Devices that support BB connect.
Im not sure ...
Re: How is your new phone working now with your T MObile plan?
Were you able to send and receive emails while you were on the phone when using the E61 on T-Mobile?
Re: How Long do I HAVE to wait...?
It was in one of the threads on the sk3. Of course, all of these dates that people are throwing out is just speculation. T-Mobile nor Danger has not announced any dates..
Re: Is this really true?
T-Mobile can roam off of Cingular towers. Hence, the change in all of T-Mobile's latest phones including the 850 MHz band. If you take a look, only the older models of T-Mobile's phones do not include the 850 MHz band.
Re: How Long do I HAVE to wait...?
According to the moderator, appletech, on www.hiptop.com, he says it'll be quarter 4. I was thinking that it would be out during the summer since it has already been approved by the fcc.
Re: Sport Scores Application
www.handango.com has a Pocket Day Sports application for the BlackBerry.
I'm not sure if you're interested in purchasing an application or not.
Re: Questions about the 8700
The sound quality on the 8700c is much better than that of the Treo 650. I used the Treo 650 prior to this and had to purchase that application volume care to be able to hear what was going on whether in quiet or noisy situations.
I have used the speakerphone in my car with the radio on and could hear the caller and the caller could hear me with no problem.
When using the handset, I can ...
Re: Sport Scores Application
You can use Google Alerts, CNN alerts, or other types of alerts for the scores. You can use your web browser and check the scores. Personally, I use an RSS feeder which works well for me. With the alerts, you have the scores sent at the end of the quarter, half, inings, etc or just the final score. It just depends on what you're looking for and how you want it sent and how often. ...
Re: Purchase Decision
Treo isn't a stable device whereas the BlackBerry is a stable device. Someone mentioned earliuer that you can't use the BB for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc, but you can. You would have to pay to have the applications added on to your BB. Now, the BlackBerry also has the full wireless keyboard that you can use with it just as the Treo does.
If you're looking for multimedia features on a smartphone, then the Treo would be the ...
Re: LG - Nokia
Nokia is a better overall product than Nokia. Nokia has better reception, better battery life, better quality, etc. The LG F9100 was okay but a much better product than the other LG phones. I haven't used the F9200, but I do know that the other LG's that are currently listed on the Cingular website are terrible phones as far as reception and there's a lot of complaints about the reception.
Re: Sidekick 3
Yes, it is very much time to replace the sidekick2. Sales really took off for this device, especially when you have stars that are 40 years old plus (i.e. Paula Abdul) carrying them around. The SK2 is featured on a lot of sitcoms as well. I have even noticed that even just while shopping recently that I have seen at seen at least 3 SK2s purchased. Remember al ot these recently purchased SK2s won't be ...
Re: Sidekick 3
terryjohnson16 said:
I don't believe you. I heard that Danger will be at the 3GSM phone show in February, and that means they will be giving info about the Sidekick 3. I heard that the SK3 might be out in April.
That has been the rumor that has been posted online for sometime now. Generally, the sidekick new version is almost always released during quarter 3. I'm not sure if this will change for the release fo the sidekick ...
Re: Released but not on the Cingular website
You've got that one right!!!
I checked the Cingular website earlier today expecting this phone to be released but it wasn't on the website. Yet, it is still on the rebate forms.
Cingular needs to get a new person to be in charge of their marketing as well as someone else in charge of their product line up. They're really missing out on a lot.
Verizon surely knows how to advertise. Although T-Mobile doesn't have the coverage ...
Re: Similar Phone Already Out!
The Motorola A 630 was released only in certain market areas--specifically those where Cingular took over the SunCom stores. I purchased two of them and had posted pictures back in last April of it.
The Nokia 9300 was released to the business sector. I'm not sure if it is still available now.
Yes, that's a terrible thing because there are non-business people who aren't able to purchase through the business sector that would love to have had that phone ...
Re: Cingular Insurance Plan
Yes, they'll cancel your insurance. I have two lines on my account--one being a BlackBerry and the other being a V551. They told me that I can only have the insurance on the V551, but tnot the BlackBerry. They dropped the insurance from the BlackBerry. I have had insurance on the both lines since I started my contract in 2004. All Cingular did was give me a credit for the past two months of insurance ...
Released but not on the Cingular website
According to the following website, this phone has been released.
http://www.telecom.paper.nl/site /news_ta.asp?type=abstract&id=111219
Yet, I don't see it on the Cingular website. The new American Idol starts on January 17th, so I guess they are still making customers wait.
Re: Stability
I'm glad that worked out for you. Hopefully, it is similar to what you're used to using.

Re: Stability
I've never used Graffiti II, so I can't compare. Also, http://mytreo.net/downloads/ will be your best friend if you have a Treo because it gets all of the latest updates for various applications for the Treo.
Check the links.

Re: Stability
There is a freeware application called Doodle Bug that will let you do graffiti on the Treo. I have small fingers and the keys were even small for me.
Re: Motorola A630
Actually, Cingular did have a version of this phone in April 2005 which was sold in select markets. I purchased one myself. I showed the pictures of it to quite of few of the people here on the forum. This post was under the Motorola A 630 link on this website.
Although Cingular offered it in select markets, Cingular didn't support it even if you had insurance on it. You would have to send ...
Re: nokia 1100 sim work with z520?
Maverick, that's how Cingular is getting its money. They have to do something to "pimp" their long time customers since they're losing a lot of its customer base to Verizon. It seems that they don't value loyalty for some reason or another.
Re: changing rate plans
You would be prorated for the charges should you switch. Also, you more than likely won't get penalized being that you just signed up for the contract on the family plan.
Some reps will tell you that changing the rate plan, will change your contract date while others will say that it won't change your contract.
From my personal experience, I changed my family plan to a lower plan after my first month because I had way too many ...
Re: Not Yet
I believe that both things may be true. I have seen some American Idol commercials about 2 weeks ago stating that the first show will be January 17, 2006. Yet, the Cingular sales reps keep saying that it will be any day now. Yeah...right...
This phone has been on the rebate sheet since early November. How do you place phones on a rebate sheet that haven't been released by your company and may not ever be ...
