Re: HTC is awesome!
I agree...HTC is on a roll. The HTC Touch HD is just beautiful (maybe the next Tmobile G2), and the 4G Max is definitely an iPhone-killer.
However, the reason I've been holding back from purchasing an HTC media phone is the long-overdue Garmin Nuvifone. I'd like to wait for a full review of the Nuvifone, before I make my decision.
Re: Where's the Garmin Nuvifone??
I hope all the hype surrounding the Nuvifone is real. Thanks Rich. :)

Where's the Garmin Nuvifone??
The Nuivphone is amazing and will be the iPhone's strongest competitor. It will use Google applications (hopefully Android soon after) and, of course, Garmin navigation.
Why hasn't Phonescoop reported on the Garmin Nuvifone? Get on it. :)
NK
battery life??
TMO alleges 6 hours of talk-time for the TRACE. That sounds unbelievable for something this thin. Can anybody confirm this? If so, then I can't wait till the release.
Does the display have 65K or 262K colors?
Many websites are split on the quality of the T509's display. I've read reviews that praise the T509's display, which leads me to believe that there are 262K colors. CNET.com confirms 262K, but Phonescoop.com and others confirm 65K colors. The T-mobile website doesn't get into specifics either. Can somebody give me a straight answer?
Question about the T509's display....
Phonescoop is claiming a display of 65,000 colors. However, I found other websites claiming 262K (mobilecityonline.com). Who's right?

:) :lol: you know its pretty sad Nicholas when you have two people attacking a terrible post like that one little scaredy baby!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, you're right....you guys are sad and pathetic.
I can't believe that you would attack a post, because YOU THOUGHT it wasn't funny.
Keep your SUBJECTIVE opinions to yourselves.
You seem to be the type of guys that would create drama over absolutely nothing. Such as, throwing mash potatoes across ...
Re: The Early Bird Special?
You two guys are crazy. As you can see, all of the posts concerning this topic are meant to be funny. I invite you to read the 50 or so posts on this subject. Everyone is making sarcastic remarks and enjoying themselves. You guys need to relax a bit.
My initial post did not intend to start a long thread of responses. It was supposed to be a standalone comment; either people found it funny ...
Re: The Early Bird Special?
First of all, I am not a teenager. As one can see, MANY of the posts concerning this new MVNO were poking fun at the senior demographic, so I do not understand what your problem is or why you even had the impulse to reply to my post.
Yes, I mispelled VIAGRA.....big deal!!! So back off. The phonescoop community is not only limited to serious conversation. A humorous dialog between ALL members is nice from ...
The Early Bird Special?
With mobile technology becoming more and more mainstream by the day, it's logical to see companies try to corner the senior demographic. However, for the sake of promotion snd to kick off the new service, I believe Jitterbug should throw in a bottle of VIAGARA with every new activation. I mean, mobiles are for people of the go, right? People with things to DO, right? Sex, a mobile w/dialtone, and oversized numbers....what a way to ...
yeah, it's a mess.
The forum is right. This phone can easily take us back ten years.
After this model quickly flops in tmobile stores across the country, I can imagine the V171 going straight to the prepaid market (where it belongs).
I have mentioned this in a previous thread....why buy the V171 when you can get the V180 for free. The V180 has an external display and a larger main display (it's a no-brainer). It's Free. Free damn ...
Replaces the V66???
I thought the Moto V180 replaced the V66. I mean....anyone can get the V180 for free (and actually make $50-$100). You can't get any more "entry level" than that. I don't see the V171 being useful to Moto's phone lineup or even fitting in it.
Re: Sorry to say....
guys, guys, it's obviously being marketed for women.
entry level
Truth is, most nokia phones look and feel like entry level phones because of their cheap cheap plastic faceplates. For example, the following Nokia phones can easily be put on this list: new 6100, 6200, 7210, 8290, 8390, 3390, 3100, 3200, 6590, 3220, and now the 2600. There a lot more.
Why can't Nokia abandon their "changeable-faceplates designed" phones with well-built phones that do not fall apart. Most of the phones from Samsung, ...
3100 is better....
I would go with the entry level Nokia 3100. This phone has world roaming and can be had for FREE with a new activation. The 2600 and 3595 can also be had for FREE, but they do not have world roaming and are a lot bulkier. It's your preference really, but for me I go with the FREE phone that can fit in my front jean pocket.
Re: WOW, first nokia phone marketed to kindergardeners!!!
robbg said:
Nokia may have hit sales bottom, but they seem to know that a "well-designed, sleek, slim flip phone" is an oxymoronic anachronism. By their very nature, flip phones are not sleek, slim or well-designed. They are burdened with added weight due to the must-have external caller ID display. Please note...the extra display was added to overcome a major shortcoming of the flip design, you had to open up the phone just to see who was calling, look through ...
WOW, first nokia phone marketed to kindergardeners!!!
It's always been known that Nokia tends to the teenage crowd with its changeable covers and colorful phones, but this is ridiculous. What's next a joint venture with Crayola or maybe Pokemon. Hahaha, you have to laugh. When will Nokia mass produce a well-designed, sleek, slim flip phone for the business professional?
Re: lucent?
thank you
Re: lucent?
Also, why will ATT deploy WCDMA in a couple of months if its losing the company?
Nick
Re: lucent?
Hey rich explain something for me:
ATT, as you said, has been performing WCDMA trials in Dallas for a year now. The Cingular takeover is said to be in effect by the end of this year. Does this mean that all WCDMA research done by ATT will be handed over to Cingular? And also, why is ATT testing WCDMA when they are going to lose their company anyway? Isnt ATT migrating to Sprint's network? I ...
lucent?
It looks as though this might be Lucent's chance to revive itself as a top fortune 500 company. The current lucent stock price is $3.44. Really good buy. Although a month ago the price was hovering around $1.50.
Nokia 6010?
Hey Rich correct me if I'm wrong here:
I was browsing Tmobile's website just a second ago and I found a new phone being offered: the Nokia 6010. It's an ugly phone, but the important thing is that it's a dual band 800/1900 phone. Tmobile only used the gsm 1900 band network here in the usa. It looks like the spectrum Tmobile is buying from Cingular includes the 800 band.
Hey guys I am really curious ...
Re: damn it motorola get it straight.......
The samsung E105 can also be found for FREE after rebates. This phone is pretty much identical to the X427/X426 and it adds an external display.
You can not fault Samsung for pumpming its own money into lcd display research. If anything, this should be an example for all companies. The commited research put in by Samsung gives them the ability to put excellent displays in entry level flip phones without the extra expense. ...
Re: damn it motorola get it straight.......
listen rich,
Samsung has an entry level flip phone called the SGH-X426/SGH-X427 and is sold by both cingular and ATT. You can buy these phones for $50 or, in most cases, free after rebates. And yes, they come with a 128x160 screen and 65K colors.
A 128X160 screen size should be the standard. The use of MMS has increased since 2002 and a larger screen size compliments it very well.
So when I compare the Moto ...

"so a bigger screen is useful and necessary."

um just lettin you know the 830 has a pretty close to the same screen size as the 730..
but the 860 and 930 have bigger screens
they all have small screens buddy
Re: gsm
jwbass1985 said:
how did this forum turn into "which service is better"? i thought it was about the v80...speaking of carrier though, will it be tmobile? any thoughts?
If the V80 is US bound, it looks as though it goes to Tmobile. If it were going to cingular it would have the 800 bandwidth and not the 900.
gsm
yes cdma is the best, but let's be patient with gsm. Its a matter a building a larger gsm network across the country, before CDMA is obsolete. The advantage of gsm is that you can take your gsm handset oversees (assuming it's unlocked and has the 900/1800 frequency). If CDMA is here to stay, then yeah it has to step up with sleeker looking phones. Its safe to say that a lot of uneducated consumers choose ...
the A840
nice screen size. Thanks Moto for not letting me down.
Re: good step for moto
muchdrama said:
A little irate are we? Quit yelling. Maybe the small screens are installed due to design?
If I came off as irate, I apologize. But it doesnt give Moto the right to sell its customers short. Also, I dont think it's a design issue because there is plenty of empty space above the screen as you can see. The i830, V220, and V180 all have this shortcoming. Check out other flip phones from other manufacturers. ...
good step for moto
FINALLY, Moto is releasing an iDEN flip phone that is less than one inch thick. This is a great step for Nextel. Once again though, Moto is opting for the 130x130 screen instead of the 128x160 standard screen. I have raised this issue in the past. Moto has showcased 3 upcoming flipphones, and they all have the "small" screen. Can you say CHEAP!!! (MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE BECAUSE MANY MANUFACTURERS USE THE ...
damn it motorola get it straight.......
The V220 looks like a nice entry level camera flip, but damn it Moto, what is up with the 128x128 screen? Every industry has its standards, and they increase through the years. This phone should have a 128x160 screen. This is the standard now. I had the same comment for the V180. Damn it Moto, are you living in 2004 or 2002.
Here's an example: In ...
one more thing
Although the v180s screen is bigger than the V66s, Motorola should have given the V180 an even bigger 128x160 screen. I know its an entry level flip, but the standards have increased sice the 128x128 screen was the common size. It seems that 128x 160 screens are the standard now. This is a decent screen size and a good position behind the V400s (and its variants) 176x220 screen size.
Re: News on the v180...
muchdrama said:
I just heard from a Tmobile rep that this phone would replace the v66 in their lineup. Pretty nice replacement, eh?
You're right, it would make a good replacement. If you look close enough to the V180, its screen is placed in the same exact spot as on the V66.

Re: Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
Ok Maverick and Rich,
Lets end this argument once and for all.
According to Phonescoop.com, the user reviews show the following:
Samsung E715: 4.26 out of 5.0
Motorola V300: 3.92 out of 5.0
Motorola V600: 4.25 out of 5.0
According to CNET.com, the editors' ratings are:
Samsung E715: 7.6 out of 10.0
Motorola V300: 7.3 out of 10.0
Motorola V600: 7.6 out of 10.0
According to GSMARENA.com, the user ratings are:
Samsung E715: 8.5 out of 10.0
Motorola V300: 8.3 out of 10.0

Re: Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
youre right, the v300 has more talk time, but in terms of standby time the E715 beats the V300 by 4 days. Also yes the V300 has speaker phone, but who wants other people listening in on your conversations. The speaker phone option is a matter of taste and opinion. And there is no way the E715 can be considered as poorly built. Its solid. My friend has a new V300. The upper ...
Re: Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
another thing, samsung does produce a lot of concept phones which do not make it to market, but thats because wireless carriers wont commit to a contract. So its not samsungs fault that their cool phones dont make it to market. But i agree again that samsung needs bluetooth. all they have now is Ir for data transfer between phones.
Re: Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
In my last reply, I was talking about built quality not features. In terms of features, in reality, there is a very small percentage of cell phone users who travel around the world and desperately need a cell phone, so quadband really isnt that necessary. And yes I agree that samsung does need to further study bluetooth, but they do atleast offer Ir. Samsung is better than Motorola when it comes to reliabilty and built quality. ...
Re: Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
Another thing Rich, you said that the C650 cannot be compared to the T610 because the C650 is entry level which I agree. But every year, the "Entry Level" segment becomes more technological as does the "High End" segment. Therefore entry level phones for 2004 should be comparable to midrange phones of 2003 (like the t610) and the high end phones of 2004 should be superior to the high phones of 2003. This is a natural ...
Re: Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
Rich, I am going to have to agree with your reply about the motorola c650. But, you have to agree that there is no excuse for the Motorola V600's (and its variants) inferiority to the Samsung E715. These two phones were released around the same time. The V600 feels cheap, has a gray plastic stub antenna which doesnt match its exterior styling, and lacks a camera flash. Samsung, on the other hand, consistently produces well-built ...
Motorola C650 and mobile technology.
The Motorola C650 is a fine example of how Motorola is behind in the progression of mobile technology compared to other manufacturers. While the C650 has similar dimensions as the Sony Ericsson T610, the Motorola has a smaller screen, no bluetooth function, and no flash for the camera. Since this phone is being introduced one year after the T610's releases, there is no excuse for the lack of features. Another example is the Motorola V600 (also ...
