Re: ATT & VZW Lawyers?
As much as I dislike Verizon and Sprint and T-Mo, all of the carriers need to band together and squash this company without mercy. 8)
Re: Questions From A Switcher
Welcome to the best 8)
To answer your first question, usually you have to wait till 75% of your contract is up (if I'm not mistaken), but it is true that the longer you wait, the better the discount. You also get more discounts if you're on a more expensive plan. I recently upgraded to a BlackBerry Curve, and I only paid $150 after rebates. Why? Because I waited for about 30 months (despite the fact I had bought several ...
Re: 0.49 oz?!
It has to be something like that, especially if it has glass and stainless steel
0.49 oz?!
I find it REALLY hard to believe that the phone weighs half an ounce. Is it a typo?
Re: Talk time
Does your data access stay in 3G?
Re: Talk time
I agree. It says it's longer in GSM mode, so I guess users who don't have access to a charger all day need to figure out a way to lock calls to the GSM network :P
Woah
It looks really nice 8)
I waited up 48 hours for this?!
J/k, but it's interesting to find a relatively new piece of news at 1 am :P
Re: How do you like that, Sprint?
Since you brought in Networx, not sure where that information on Sprint is, but:
"AT&T Government Solutions, a business unit of AT&T, Inc. (NYSE: T), has been awarded a Networx Universal contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The Networx Universal contract is an Indefinite Delivery — Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a potential value of $20 billion over the next 10 years and allows AT&T to provide a full range of network and communications services to federal government ...

Actually, that statement is true because the government issues contracts and until today, Sprint has been their sole provider.
Take a look at how many customers from the FBI and other agencies have Nextel/Sprint, you would want to take that statement back.
The government does issue contracts, but not for everything. I'll break it down to federal government employees I know
U.S. Congress: (Employees in Washington D.C.) Verizon Cell phone & a Cingular Blackberry .. (Employees in my home town): ...
Re: How do you like that, Sprint?
Jonathanlc2005 said:
plus the US government only uses sprint nextel,
That's not a bluntly wrong statement at all :roll: The Federal Government gives out cell phones from almost every network, and the state and local governments all vary. Some government employees might have sprint-nextel phones paid for by the government, but you can't use that to say that the government only used sprint.
Re: I've got a headache
It wasn't SBC or AT&T jobs that were outsourced. It was part of Bellsouth's customer service. Anyway I forgot when they were coming back by, but I think it was December of this year? It's somewhere in the press release
Re: I've got a headache
Actually, AT&T is bringing back a whole bunch of outsourced jobs
Dear Eric,
I love Cingular. And I am one to bash other carriers, and point and laugh when others are asking to use my phone because they have no service. Why do I have Cingular? Because they have the best coverage in my area, and through my experiences, they have been the best service provider. I have gone through almost every single provider there is (except Tmo), and Cingular offered me the best service, handsets, and features. But I am a ...
Re: Giving Cingy a second chance.
Welcome back, depechemode82 8)
They have a large selection, and I've used almost every single phone on there, but I'll give you a list of phones that I've either had or used extensively, and found to be worth it:
- Motorola Razr V3i or V3r. I currently have a V3i, but I bought it unlocked and it doesn't have iTunes. It's the most solid phone I've ever had. It's taken a bit of a beating, and my abuse. And by ...
Re: Opinion is Needed
I don't own either, but I've gotten to use both pretty extensively. They're both good, but I'd take the Treo over the 8525. Why? The Treo is lighter, and you can really tell the difference. Although they're relatively the same size, the Treo feels nicer when you're holding it.
One note though: If you're going to be doing A LOT of typing, I suggest the 8525. The keyboard on the Treo is fine, even for long messages, but the ...
Re: NOT a good deal.
I'm not implying you check the website everytime you want to make a call. It's more of a "Hey, I wonder if John has AT&T?" type thing.
Re: Moto is just scared!
I agree with Mela774. Some of their phones are crap, but then again, every phone manufacturer has a crappy phone somewhere along the line. I've had plenty of Motorolas, as well as phones from other manufacturers, and Motorola had given me the most solid phones. Sure, I've had a solid Nokia and SE, but so far my V3i has been the best. I didn't pick it because it was a RAZR, or thin, or whatever fashion statement it makes. ...
Re: NOT a good deal.
I'm sure they'll have some sort of website where you can check, just how Cingular has one that checks to see if a person is on Cingular or not.
Re: Not bad ...
I know they expire. There's times where I purposely go over my minutes to use those rollover minutes that will expire 8)
Re: 1problem...no rollover
Yea, I read the fine print too.
Not bad ...
I think it's a pretty good idea for someone like me, who has their entire family and friends using AT&T as a provider for both wireless and wireline service.
The only downside is in the fine print: "AT&T Unity wireless plans do not include Rollover minutes."
Until they do include Rollover, I'll just use the 1,517 Rollover minutes I have to call my house :P
Re: Loyal 2 Apple + Anti Cingular = Aw crap...
On a side note, it would be very smart on behalf of Apple to produce this phone not just for Cingular, but for the other carriers as well. Why? Because then everyone will want one, and everyone can have one. :)
Re: Loyal 2 Apple + Anti Cingular = Aw crap...
I'm an Apple fan and Anti-VZW, because of my history with them. I love Cingular and hold them high, because they're the best carrier I've ever had, and they have the best coverage where I live (and then some). I posted this deep in a reply to another post, but I'll repost it here because it seems like the most civilized forum post in regards to the news :P
As for Sprint of Verizon ever getting it, I sincerely ...
Re: I think so
I don't think EDGE sucks, but it isn't 3G. I agree with those who are saying that it's a flaw that the phone doesn't have 3G. I'd prefer 3G, but I really don't use the internet on my phone. I can say I'm almost certain that eventually Apple will release an iPhone with 3G.
In the mean time, perhaps Cingular will offer some kind of tethered WiFi plan with an internet one? For example, when you're in range of a ...
Re: keyboard?
It has an on screen QWERTY keyboard for texting, emailing, etc 8)
Re: I think so
A) You shouldn't be browsing the internet if you're driving, especially on a highway
B) Sure, having no wifi walking down the street won't help you, but that's where EDGE kicks in. It's not like the phone limits your internet connection to somewhere where there's wifi
Re: Suggestion.
I agree. They built Cingular to be recognized nationwide and be a common name and now it is. To start that cycle over again would be pointless. Plus, I like "Cingular" better than AT&T or AT&T(whatever) 8)
Re: AT&T name sucks!
I agree. I could care less what the name is, so long as the service remains the same (or gets better)
Re: Does that mean new commercials?
undrgrnd said:
its still humorous... but then sprint will begin to release rev b and it will be on in the commercial war... the theft deterant commercial from sprint is the best commercial tho...
That is an amazing commercial. I've actually seen someone try to use their blade (phone) as a weapon :P
$90

$80

$80

Re: blue dot
When I bought my V3i, I was ready with tweezers, but they actually changed how they packed it. The blue dot was still there (for no reason), but it was attached to the screen protector, so it came right off. Anyone else have theirs on the screen protector?
Merry Christmas from Sprint
Lucky bastards /;| :P
Re: Someone said it best in reference to the prior NTP suit
NPT sued me because I received email on a BlackBerry. Then they sued me again when they found out I got one on a Treo too 8)
Re: this is getting ridiculious
:lol:
Re: A Cingular Annoucement???
No need to make a mistake in switching :lol: perhaps there is a maxx coming to Cingular. If you look way back into August 06, you'll find Moto2006 where you can see the HSDPA V3maxx
