Re: Not Bashing CDMA Carriers or service.

Besides ... the CDMA market is predominantly US users (*cough*super conservative white folks that don't care about what type of phone they got as long as it can make a phone call relative to the rest of the world *cough*) who isn't as tech savvy as the rest of the world.
Did you really write this?
Re: not bad at all
craven said:
CONS
Charger is not a mini USB. That is lame.
What kind of charger connector is it? And can it be charged from your computer's USB, or does it have to plug into a wall outlet?
Re: You know what happens when you assume...
Agreed...the "it's ugly" and "I hate flip phone" comments are purely subjective and without merit or value to this thread.
Let's wait until someone here gets their hands on them, or shoot over to howardforums where people have actually gotten this phone.
Re: jabra 250v & 350
What s/w version are you running? The BT reboot issue is well documented with the original software on this phone - I don't think it matters what headset you use.
If you haven't already done so, upgrade to the latest s/w (released 3/8). I did and all the BT reboot issues have disappeared. Did the tech even ask about your s/w version?
Re: question about variance
jdonner said:
Yes, but there's a new software upgrade available from Verizon. Go to dts.vzw.com
Best thing to do is go to www.vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry (it's a Verizon site), enter your mobile number, scroll down to the 7130e section, then download the Blackberry Device Software v4.1 (updated 3/8/06). This is the latest version, v4.1.0.268.
I upgraded yesterday and it fixes the bluetooth reboot problem, and enhances other things, like the bluetooth icon, mute icon, battery meter, etc.
The upgrade was very, very easy.

Re: 7130 knows it's in holster?
calmark said:
One of the strengths of the BB for me has always been that when you place it in its holster it knows and goes into silent mode. It looks like the 7130 comes with a dumb holster, and that this feature is no longer available, true?
Not correct - the holster I received in the box has the Sleeper magnet and DOES turn the BB off. That doesn't change the fact the the holster is cheesy...but that's ...

Honors 21 , yes and thank you !
It's amazing , I got slammed because I simply was telling people what we found..
It is great and with the 950 it is really smoking
Actually, you got slammed because you sound like a used car salesman on an informercial.
"Guys, we tested..." Who the hell is WE? Are you Consumer Reports, or is it you and three guys from Accounts Payable? A little context would help. ...

Re: New BlackBerry in January 2006 for Verizon? (And I'm not talking about the 7130)
ultima said:
Thats great that you're in progessional sales.
Do Blackberries provide the best wireless email capabilities? Probably for most people.
Do they provide the best capabilities for business people who need other capabilities as well? Most assuredly NO.
What do I think mobile 5 has going for it? Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, and IE provide superior mobile office capabilities to blackberry.
If you only need email for your work, buy a BB. If you need any of those other things I mentioned which ...
Re: New BlackBerry in January 2006 for Verizon? (And I'm not talking about the 7130)
Wow, you take things a bit too seriously, eh? But, you are wrong on both counts. I prefer devices that work well for what they are supposed to do, so no, I'm not a gadget person. And secondly, I've been in progessional sales for over 20 years, so yes, I am a business person. And you really went out on a limb by accusing me of believing everyone thinks like me...can't find where in my ...

TonyDavids said:
I read that the fabulous new Motorola Q PDA phone will be sold by Verizon in the new year. You can see all the pics on www.gadget.com
It's thinner, lighter and has loads more features that the BB - I presume this may be the phone your sales guy was talking about
Let's all not forget that this is a) a Moto device and b) a Windows device. The real business user will not want to trust a phone ...
Re: Advice camparing Treo 650 Blackberry 7250or Samsung I730
vzwuser37 said:
Any thoughts on these cell phones. My use would be for business. Need to have a clients numbers,calender,email.
Don't forget to include the BB 7130e in your analysis.
Hard reset
Will a hard reset on the 7130e result in all data (phone logs, contacts, etc.) being lost?
Re: 7130e - So far a great phone
It takes a bit getting used to - I've only had it since Saturday. But seeing this is my first BB, I really can't give you a good comparison. They have a good tactile feel to them, which is important for me. Wish I could give you more.
Questions
Some general questions for you all:
1) If I stick the antenna in my ear, will I hear better?
2) Which finger do I use to press the buttons?
3) Are there different kinds of cell phones?
4) I've heard of some company called Verizon - who are they?
5) And lastly, does my mouth need to be near the microphone when I talk?
Thanks so much!
Re: Charging the 6256i (User Manual is vague.)
Ugh
Re: Charging the 6256i (User Manual is vague.)
Cell phones just weren't made for some people
7130e - So far a great phone
I swapped my 6256i for the 7130e last week and so far have been very pleased. Call quality great, reception great, speakerphone outstanding, synchronization with ACT! a snap. Anyone else out there with one? Experiences?
Re: Charging the 6256i (User Manual is vague.)
lorna said:
How can I know when I have sufficiently charged up my 6256i? The user manual lacks details on this and a lot of procedures. Last night I charged the phone a bit and there was a sort of animation of vertical bars flashing on the outer display. I figured that when those bars stopped flashing, I could disconnect the phone charger from the phone, and that is what I did.
However, today, after using the phone and experimenting with ...
Re: Nokia 6256I Stripped?
bpar said:
They stripped it. I can't get the infrared to work either.
Sounds like you got a bad phone - no reason it would be stripped.
Re: Nokia 6256I Stripped?
bpar said:
Have yo used the infared? It's on mine but when I tried to use it it would not connect. I called Verizon tech and they told me I had to use a cable.
Infrared worked flawlessly without a cable for me - downloaded contacts.
Re: battery life
7130e_bb said:
not too sure about that... they usb cable is supplied from verizon. It looks like a standard cable...
Someone in howardforums responded that the circuitry to prevent overload is built into the BB, so it should be OK.
Re: where did all of you get your 6256i
questor2k said:
Well, come to think of it, they never actually used the NE2 terminology....I just assumed that's the discount they were giving me, since the phone has a $249 retail, and the cheapest elsewhere I could find it was at Best Buy for $149. But hey, whatever you wanan call it, I'll take a $250 Bluetooth phone for $59.99 any day! Peace!
No kidding - they gave you a good deal. It just burns me to know ...
Re: battery life
7130e_bb said:
Battery life is pretty good. I am a power user both from text, emailm internet and voice. I was running for 24 hours and found the battery to be at 50%. Depeneing on your usuage I think you could get 1-3 days out of it... of course there is always the car charger and the USB cable. It charges when attached via the usb cable.
If I charge via the USB cable, is there the same overload protection you ...
Re: where did all of you get your 6256i
questor2k said:
Hi,
I live in NJ and picked up mine this weekend at Radio Shack. Funny thing is according to Verizon I wasn't eligible for the NE2 upgrade until Nov-2006, but according to Radio Shack's computer I was eligible NOW! I guess their systems don't talk to each other or there's some loop hole? Anyway, I was able to pickup a brand new 6256i for a mere $59.99!!! No rebates or anything to mail in. ...

Re: Verizon Stores Don't Carry Nokia 6256i
lorna said:
Well, before I returned to the Nokia Experience Center I walked about 500 feet to the VzW kiosk and asked NE2 questions. The sales rep there told me that in two years, no matter where I buy my phone, I will be eligible for NE2.
However, this may be a moot point, since I signed up for only ONE year because I want to maintain the option of leaving to another carrier if I so desire. I ...

None of the Best Buy stores I have visited have the phone on display they are locked up in bricks large quanties under the counters.

Re: Which MMC Card?

DocB2 said:
Thanks, Lorna. I checked HowardForums only after ordering a 512mb, dual-voltage mmc mobile (same as reduced-size) card. A post there mentions that even a full-size single-voltage MMC card works. I will be anxious to hear what the "official" Nokia line is. (I suspect they will recommend the dual voltage smaller card as that is what they sell on their site. It is posible that the single voltage card does work but uses ...
Re: VzW rep told me the following things:
lorna said:
I just spoke (phone) to a sales rep from Verizon wireless and learned a lot.
1. If I buy a VzW phone from anywhere other than VzW, I am NOT eligible for NE2 (New Phone Every Two Years).
So I guess the 30 other people who said the exact same thing here just weren't credible enough?
Stick with your land line, that appears to be the obvious choice for you.
Re: VZW will be having this phone in stores
NokiaFan said:
I looked on the verizon website and it is not on there maybe its just not available in my area. Where r u from? Im from Chicago IL.
That's because Verizon does not and will not carry this phone. Mr. self-proclaimed king of the moderators doesn't know what he's talking about.
Re: VZW will be having this phone in stores
You are in the incredibly vast minority of people who believe this. Just because you are a moderator (oooh boy, congrats!!) doesn't make you a credible source. I watch alot of sports but that doesn't make me an athelete. You are the only person I know who has claimed Verizon will carry this phone.
