Sync to Outlook
Will this sync with Outlook? Does this need a 3rd party solution?
BJII and Moto Q9H
Do these phones suffer from the memory leak issue that seems to plague all WinMo phones and pretty much all PDA type phones in general?
Thanks In Advance...
Re: Pensacola Police Department Press Release
You have employees at Taco Bell, Walmart, and other fortune 500 companies stealing people's identity and CC information.
Blaming Cingular for this is like blaming the street for car accidents.
Dude has a problem and his employer happened to be Cingular...
Would this be posted in the other forums if he were on their staff?

Re: Cingular SYNC outscores all other music phones
So if the article had placed Cingular last, would you dispute that?
Just curious...The only time I see anything disputed on this site is when it comes to Cingular...
If tracphone had a music phone and it got good remarks and was ahead of Cingular, it would be praised as a valid test...but let Cingular finish high or first in any test and people start questioning the test, whether the testers were paid etc...and most of that comes from people that ...
Re: Treo 750
Two different OS, most phones with the PPC OS are $450 to $500 on Premier with no contract, Store price no contract will be $300 + $150.
The BlackJack is $320 + $150 for no contract.
Windows PPC is more robust and reading the various Treo sites is able to edit, download PDFs and more capable of multi-tasking on the Treo 700s and Treo 750s.
Expect the Treo 750 to be about $130 to $150 more than the Treo 680 and Samsung ...
Re: $81 ain't "pennies"
All companies invest in R&D and technology and to a large extent the consumer funds that investment.
8 years ago, when Verizon was Air-Touch in my hometown, $39/month got you 40 minutes or something like that.
Now $49/month gets you 450 minutes, but you also internet capable phones, qwerty phones, bluetooth, etc...technology has come a long way...
Bottom line, yeah Cingular is not the cheapest, but they are competitive and to a certain extent, they are worth it...
There is a $39.99 ...
Simple Solution
Since you don't like Cingular and you are using the CR "survey" to support your stance...why come here to post it and then get defensive when people that do use and like Cingular don't respond in the manner that you like?
Clearly you were looking for an argument/debate/flame war...and you proceeded to start one. I am sure in your mind, this is all unprovoked, but the reality is that you lobbed the first grenade.
If you don't like Cingular or GSM...then ...
Re: cingular dropping my contract!!
I will take the high road and suggest contacting Cingular to get to the bottom of this.
Either calling CS or going to a store...as mad as you are...think calmly and speak calmly...yelling or cussing won't get it resolved, but it will get you either hung up on or asked to leave...
This could be as simple as a mix-up...it does happen...
Re: ...
if you get the phone unlocked for either Cingular or T-Mobile...you can buy rechargeable ($$$) SIM cards in the particular country and so long as the phone is Quad-Band, you can just drop in the SIM card and go.
Your voice cost will be cheaper, but you might have a slight issue with data access (emails and internet).

Re: Why doesnt Cingular buy out T-moblie!?!?!?
You do realize that T-Mobile USA is just a small portion of a much larger company.
The Goodwill portion of that deal alone is worth Millions, not to mention all the rebranding cost, golden parachutes for top executives, etc...
This won't be a $20MM deal, this will be several hundred millions on the table not to mention the time lost waiting on the DOJ to say yes or no.
Strategically speaking, Cingular gains little or nothing with a deal like that and ...
Re: Third Quarter Results

T-Mobile is the largest GSM provider world wide not Cingy. 8)
Reading is fundamental, try it...
Cingular operates the nation's largest digital voice and data network. GSM is the world's most widely used wireless technology. Through roaming alliances with other GSM-based providers around the world, Cingular provides the largest global presence of any U.S. wireless carrier, with voice coverage in nearly 190 countries and data roaming in 115.
By having roaming alliances/agreements with other carriers, this allows Cingular to have the ...
Re: carrier?
The E50 is way better than any Danger device, so is the E61. TMo along with Cingular put their own software/hardware limitations on those phones and screw them up.
Unbranded phones don't have the same issues...
Re: will E61 work with verizon network?
That would be a negative.
Eventually GSM becomes WCDMA which is not CDMA. CDMA will become a different system in the near future also.
There are a few websites that explain the blueprint or growth path...

Re: Cingular Premier Site
I can understand the 1913 lady's point...I am buying the phone and I am an existing customer, so I still get hit with a $18 fee? Do they want to sit on inventory or move it? Either way is an opportunity cost to them, not me.
Is this a shipping charge? or just for the sake of them slapping it in a box and sticking a stamp on the side?
Simple economics or finance means make it as simple for existing ...
Re: Will unlocking the phone get rid of cingulars settings?
no, unlocking will not do that, nor is that a cingular issue.
You have to do a OS reload from the SGH-D800 version or a seem-edit.

Re: Don't be hatin
I guess you didn't read his veiled comments and only mine?
He is allowed to make pseudo racist comments, but any rebuttal is seen as stirring up the pot???
Interesting
Re: Don't be hatin
incorrect, any phone call can be traced. Whether or not the police and government spend the money to do so is another story.
Boost is no different, it is a matter of whether or not they (law enforcement) chooses to allocate resources.
Remember the prevailing viewpoint is that so long as the drug use/sales are confined to certain communities and only certain groups are effected, they aren't going to worry, it is once it leaves those communities and spreads to the ...
Re: Don't be hatin
It is not the chirp that people (whether in the pristine upscale communities of hazel park or warren or bloomfield or the neighborhoods of Sherwood Forest, Palmer Woods or Rosedale Park) get boost/nextel for.
It is for the covienence of contacting family and friends via the DirectConnect or walkie-talkie. If you get the unlimited DC and you have a wife or friend or relative on the same type of package, you can talk literally all day for nothing (or ...
Re: 3 reason's why Cingular will fall................
Hate to say this, but Verizon did the same thing back in the early 1990s, (Hey, I am 40, I remember when the only people that cell phones were doctors, lawyers and drug dealers, heck I remember when you had to pay for caller id and voice mail) on a cell phone.
In Michigan, they bought the old Airtouch network and the subscriber base. If you stayed on Airtouch and you didn't migrate over, you were charged a fee ...
Re: 29.99 BB Data Plan...
GMail and Hotmail are the 2 that I know of.
After that you have pay accounts like AOL, Yahoo Premium, Excite Gold, MSN, Comcast, Verizon DSL, Bellsouth DSL, etc...
Re: Things That We Are Thankful for About Cingular
I'm just glad that they offer a viable alternative and that alternative breeds competition and improved technology benefits to the end user.
Would Verizon push themselves to offer their broadband/vcast service without a Cingular, T-Mo, Sprint? Would Cingular push to offer HSPDA w/o Verizon, T-Mo, Sprint?
The technological benefits that we are able to utilize as a direct or indirect result of the increased competition helps us enjoy better call quality, cheaper rate plans, and better phones.
Eventually we will ...
Re: OLD ATT GSM PLAN CAN I GET A PRE-PAID PHONE UNLOCED AND PUT IT ONTO THE PLAN?
You will have to find an online store that sells "Unlocked" GSM phones. Make sure that they are either quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) at the very least have the 850 mhz on the phone to work properly.
Some resellers on eBay are decent, some are hijackers, crooks, thieves, etc...
Try a google or yahoo search for Unlocked GSM phones and see what that gets you...
Re: 29.99 BB Data Plan...
BES is 44.99
BIS is 34.99 or 29.99 as a add-on to a voice plan.
BES = Blackberry Enterprise Service for corporate customers
BIS = Blackberry Internet Service for non-corporate customers

Re: Sprint's EV-DO vs. Cingular's EDGE
Cingular will implement WCDMA which is not the same as CDMA :roll:
Anyone using a CDMA phone WILL NOT be able to to better network clarity. This might apply to GSM phones, but not to CDMA.
WCDMA
(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access)
Wideband CDMA is a third-generation (3G) wireless standard which utilizes one 5 MHz channel for both voice and data, initially offering data speeds up to 384 Kbps.
WCDMA is also referred to as UMTS - the two terms have become interchangeable.
WCDMA is ...
