How come...
...when these upgrade announcements come out they never mention the tri-state area (NY,NJ,CT). Isn't the Tri-state area one of the most densely populated areas in the US? Charlotte is pretty sparse compared to the other cities mentioned.
I guess my question is: Why Charlotte? and not Phoenix, or Philadelphia which have higher populations?
Lacks Wifi.
Although, It's actually a decent looking device, spec-wise.
Re: I'm served by 3 carriers? Or 6 even?
I disagree with you.
Using Apple as an example, (I don't feel like looking up the numbers for RIM but they're out there,) According to Businessweek, It costs $178.96 to build the iPhone 3GS, while the iPhone 3G costs $174.33. Assuming a (generous) profit margin of 60% that's $286.336 and $278.928 for the 3GS and 3G respectively. The $800 and $1000 price you're suggesting is gouging the customer. Competition between the Device makers would keep costs ...
Right on my birthday.
Thanks Apple. :)
Too little too late.
By the time the Xperia X1 ships:
1. Android will be generally availble.
2. iPhone will have (likely) sold 10 million units.
3. Microsoft will start to take the wraps off of WM7. (A free upgrade for the Xperia might not happen, so don't get your hopes up.)
The Panel UI is just a shell on top of WM6.1 Despite what SE wants everyone to believe, it's not a platform onto itself.
This device is going to be (way) late ...
ugh
But this is just "Bursting" with lawsuit goodness. At least they are upfront about it and mention it in their Contract terms.
Yet, despite the suppossed "technical" reason, they still are descriminating against a paticular application of they network. This arguement will fall flat when it's proven that there are other "sanctioned" apps that have a similar usage pattern.
Re: You can't say we don't have cool phones
Meh...
I sincerely hope...
...that there's some verbiage in that bill that states that if you pay the full price of the phone that it *NOT* be SIM Locked and that you also get all of the hardware features enabled. but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Plus, I hate the trend of the carriers requesting US only variants of popular phones. For example: the Samsung i600 (European)and the i607 (US "Blackjack") are the same phone. The differences are the ...
This is all well and good....
But where are the first handsets? I won't judge it until I can hold one these Limo device in my hand.

Um atlp99 (above) said it more eloquently than I ever could, but at&t, VZW, and frontline are challenging different aspects of the auction rules. Of the three, I would say that Frontline's argument is noblest. since all they want is an opportunity for the little guy to get in. ...
Re: 2Gb Transflash - Any compatibility issues?
Skibumtx said:
What brand are you using? I've read rumblings that some brands may not work properly. The two brands that I see advertised most often are Kingston and SanDisk and I have run into issues with both of these brands on some devices.
Thanks,

Mine is Sandisk. The Mrs has an identical one to mine in her Moto V3xx. Always buy from A someplace reputable and with a decent return policy.
With some card/device combinations, it sometimes helps to ...
Re: 2Gb Transflash - Any compatibility issues?
Nope. Zero problems here.
Cool.
I'm actually looking for something similar to the Linksys PAP2 but w/ 802.11 (G or N) instead of cat-5. But no one seems to make it. and most voip routers assume that you have the phone near the router. I'm trying to reduce clutter.
Yay!
This is great news, but I'm concerned about the wording of the exceptions. "Any software that is illegal or could harm the network."
What worries me is that the operator of said networks could construe anything from skype to nmap to be deemed "harmful."
Question
If I buy one of these Femto (Fembot?) Cells, Do I get I kickback on my broadband bill? If I get decent WCDMA recepton inside my home, what incentive do I have to buy one of these? They don't explicitly state it, but I get the impression that this thing is open to the public.
Poor Palm.
I'm willing to bet that iPhone made them 8O
If they don't do something very soon then they basically won't matter by this time next year.
Maybe they should just donate the OS to Linux Mobile (LiMo) foundation? That way they can proliferate the OS more at the cost of (a little) less control.
hmm....
Re: Yawn
I agree with you, but unfortunately with the exception of the BB 8830, all those great phones you mentioned are GSM only. What are us Sprint users stuck with, the tired old Treo, 2 year old BB phones, and the biggest POS smart phone to ever hit the market, the Moto Q.
There's your problem. Stop complaining and ditch your current provider for one that uses GSM.
Re: BAD NEWS PLEASE READ...........RUMOR ALERT
According to Engadget the phone retails in Europe for 550 Euros. Converted to USD that's $732.55. Of course that's not including taxes.
Re: BAD NEWS PLEASE READ...........RUMOR ALERT
All I can say is that half the time the Reps don't know what is going on. He/She probably heard it from someone else. The truth is, w/ Cingular, no one ever knows when a phone will drop until it's in the stores or on the website.
I'm happy to report that I've moved on and Purchased a BlackJack that I'm quite happy with.
As for rest of the ppl holding out for this phone, I wish you lots ...
Re: Activesync can't detect Blackjack
Have you tried deleting the Mobile Device (File -> Delete Mobile Device) and letting ActiveSync re-detect it?
SDIO
Does anyone know if this phone supports SDIO? To be more specific, I want to find out if one of these:

Will work in the Blackjack. I realize that these probably aren't generally available yet.

Re: N 95 G3 WCDMA 2100 and Cingular/T-mobile
KX500rider said:
Hello.
I was looking at the Nokia N95 and N series phones and in order to utilize the G3 speeds of ~384 Kbps, you must have phone that uses 850 or 1900 bands in the US. The N95 only has WCDMA 2100, so you would be stuck to the ~135 Kbps of the edge network speeds for the other GSM modes. Correct?
Yes.
Are there other things that are lost when you don't have access to the G3 network, other than ...
Re: Here we go again!!
This one is meant for Europe, at least for now. If you're going to wait, know that it's going be while... and even when you think it's coming, be prepared to wait a while longer.
Re: what do you expect... CDMA = Qualcomm = VZW + Sprint
Absolutely. Sprint and Verizon has to since they are the largest customers. Although if Broadcom's stay is granted, then they will have look at other Technologies if they want to stay in business.
Give Broadcom the finger and switch to GSM? I'll admit it would be very nice and would be a win for their customers, but I highly doubt it would happen, as it wouldn't provide the same levels of "control" that they ...
Nokia
Nokia could use Palm get better leverage here in the US. But seeing as they seem to be low balling Palm, I guess they aren't really serious about it.
Palm's future doesn't look to bright....
Re: Revised Version Comming to Cingular
I would buy the unlocked/unbranded version if it supports Cingular's 3G frequencies. If I'm stuck on EDGE, well.. I'll have to try it first...
We probably won't see Those EDGE Enhancements from Sony Ericsson for another 1-2 years at least. and even then, i think it requires an update to the phone.
Re: Revised Version Comming to Cingular
If it's missing wifi, then there's no compelling reason to buy it from Cingular. I would hope that Nokia has this sense to not allow another exclusivity agreement like the one for the N75 and sell an unbranded/unlocked/wifi enabled version.
Re: Taking All Bets-When will it be released??
I'll bet May and (quietly) pray for March 26th.
Re: I got to play with an N75 Today. WOW!!!
Londoner said:
...I was told that Cingy approved the N95 so that may mean if they make it US capable....
Not necessarily doubting, but how do you know this? I would take the N95 over the N75 in a heartbeat.
Re: I got to play with an N75 Today. WOW!!!
Um, this phone doesn't compare with the Sync or RAZR. The N75 is a smartphone which would allow you to install and run S60v3 Apps. The Sync or RAZR could not do that last time I checked. Given that the phone is late (was due Q4 last year) they should sell it for $150. but I doubt it will happen.
$250 is iPhone territory to you? Are you serious? Did you know that the 4GB iphone will ...
Re: we will have one tomorrow, any questions?
My Questions:
1. Is it really Bluetooth 1.2 and not 2.0?
2. Under typical usage, how long can the phone last between charges?
3. Will there be a US 3G version of this phone? if so, roughly when? And will Nokia sell it directly, and/or through a carrier?
Re: versus N75
The deal breaker is Bluetooth 1.2 :(
Re: bt OBEX support?
thank you.
bt OBEX support?
Can any owners of this phone confirm that it supports the Bluetooth OBEX profile out of the box?
Re: News?
It's news b/c This service was only available for a very select few of Nokia's phones. Of which the E series devices was one. It's not news for you, but it's news for owners other Nokia phones.
This is a good thing.
Hopefully they will use this to release Feature Packs for the S60 phones.
Re: versus N75
This is a GSM phone. It will work with any GSM carrier.
Re: On ebay but is it real?
The previous auction (which was taken down btw,) had photos of the actual device. This one only has stock photos which makes me question if it's legit.
I'm curious to see if this one gets taken down as well. I'll be watching it.
Re: versus N75
Rich Brome said:
The disadvantage would be no 3G for the US on this one.
I'm considering this over the N75 too. That's fine that it doesn't have 3G, it's an S60v3 phone and the dimensions are right...
