RAZR may not hit by years end.

theatermax

Nov 15, 2005, 2:06 AM
Friends at Moto tell me, it's possible that the phone may not come out by years end..

There is something going on with a Cingular exclusive that ends Dec 31st ??

I am not sure how true this is, but this is what I heard tonight.

That's odd.. over at HoFo, they're sayin' the RAZR is now showin' up on the approved phones list, which usually means it should be 'vailable soon :

This weeks additions

Motorola V3C (finaly)

Kyocera KX-9A

New Firmware

Treo 650 v1.04

Least it worked that way fo' the 6256i.. it was on the approved list, an' then couple weeks later it was available.

I see that now when I go back. I don't really care anyway, though, because I'm not interested in the RAZR. I don't understand why everyone wants this so bad except maybe for the "coolness", which I thought would have worn off by now since it's not a new phone, only new to Verizon. IMO, it's thin (yeah, I know that's part of the attracton, but too thin to me means flimsy), cheap feeling and just another Motorola POS! Don't get me wrong, I like a small phone but I want to have some substance to my phone. I want a good solid build and feel. I know you all will have something to say to that, but just remember that this is JUST MY OPIONION that I have every right to express.

i agree. i dont think that the RAZR is that great. i saw the cingular one in person and i think it is actually not a durable phone however it does look good.

i am not impressed at all by the razr..

verizon isnt really know for having the best of phones, so i am not sure if this will impact their subscriber growth becuase well, they already get an avg of 1.8 million subscribers on their phone selections now.

perhaps it could increase it? i am not sure, but i wouldnt get any razr phone regardless on any provider.. not impressed or enticed.. motorola, do a better job!.

Howard Forums is a wealth of information and has much more content then this site does. The layout of Hofo is a mess, but once you learn to nav thru it, there is so much more info available then phonescoop. I still like phonescoop better 😁

you just have to know who the reliable sources are nextel 🙄
...
nextel18

Nov 15, 2005, 1:10 PM
actually HOFO is not a good source to use.. a few examples..

1. a few things about sprint/nextel that were wrong.
2. most recent with the cingular 3g of umts/hsdpa roll out earlier this month that didnt happen.
3. other things..

so hofo isnt a good source..

wow, another case of retarded logic
ok, I will stop going there and getting all the info phonescoop doesn't provide. Smart people pull from many resources nextel.

I will not comment any further on this

pathetic..

all i said was that hofo doesnt provide accurate information.. since one doesnt agree they say that.. pathetic.

of course you wouldnt comment on this any further becuase you dont agree. i understand.

use other sources but not them.. they will always bring some controversy... such as; the cingular roll out of umts/hsdpa that was supposed to come out that they reported.. (which didnt happen.)

I try to view as many sites and resources as I can, since I'm usually extremely bored at work. Yes, some sites are inaccurate while others are great. Some are designed nice while others can cause some mild visual pains. I think nextel just wants to make sure that info posted on this board is as accurate as possible (I've never visited hofo, so I have no idea of its accuracy).
...
nextel18

Nov 15, 2005, 2:02 PM
very good.. more information from accurate sites are most important.. it is quite funny to see how some sites and information are way differnt.

yea, i would like to see some accurate information posted becuase it will hurt the crediblity of this board if its not. that is all.

i saw hofo many a times and comparing some of the notes on there to on here to my notes they are way off. that is all i am saying..

😎

i recently gave an example with regards to something about cingular that phonescoop got from hofo which was wrong... (hofo was the source) i can name many others, however, i dont want to.

OK, when are you going to stop trolling the forums spreading false information about release dates of highly anticipated phones other than Samsung's???? You have been doing this ever since the a890 came out on February 1st.

Everyone, don't be fooled by this guy's post. He is a Samsung employee. He is paid to post false information about other manufacturer's phones all over the internet in a feeble attempt to gain more business for the Samsung phones. He has been doing things like this since before the EVDO launch in February of 2005.

SF said that? hmm quite interesting.. problem is, he has no proof over that. bad bad accusation.

I do have proof of that. I was a part of a conversation in the VX8000 forum and the a890 forum where other users of this site exposed that fact. And if you read his reviews of the VX8000 vs his review of the a890, you will see it blatantly.

You want links, find them yourself.

I told you, if my word is not good enough as to what was found out, find the information for yourself. I know what I read at that time, and I know that he is a Samsung employee. You should need no further evidence other than he is not refuting my comment, is he? But, then again, you don't believe anything, even if it is in front of your face in black and white, so why do you even bother with forums? It is a waste of your time.

see you have to state 89 words to a 1 word answer.

simple answer my friend.. yes or no.

let me repeat the question..


"did he say that he was a samsung employee and getting paid by them for posting on this site? "

remember yes or no. not another 89 word answer please.

the point is, SF is making a horrible acusation of saying that he is an employee of samsung and he is getting paid to post on here. all i was saying is that he has to have proof of that. (he doesnt obviously)

(then he provided a 89 word essay that doesnt even include the answer)

pete1660

Nov 15, 2005, 3:24 PM
Who needs proof these days! Newspapers...nope. Television...nope. Even if they are proven wrong they simply retract the statement...oops my bad. nextel...relax. I've seen much worse accusations around these parts and if the person who's posting isn't sticking up for themselves then it's their problem. I tend to believe SF since I've seen many postings by him (guessing, sorry don't actually know you) and all the info has been quite accurate.

Nov 15, 2005, 3:32 PM
all i am saying is if you state a fact, or a big accusations , then you should prove yourself or you will basically have your credibility be shot. as explained before to him, if he wants his crediblity to be shot and i wont pay attention to a word he says then he can do it..

i am fine man.. i am just stating. facts needs links and evidence.. accusations needs evidence. (if you dont have evidence for either or your crediblity is shot plus you can face some consequences.. )

that is all i am saying..

if you can prove it then do it if you cant then dont say it..

Women take your time and your money so...

WOMEN = TIME X MONEY

Time is money (as they say) so...

TIME = MONEY, therefore substituting money for tmie....

WOMEN = MONEY X MONEY or MONEY^2

Money is the root of all evil (so they say) so..

MONEY = SQROOT(EVIL) or...

MONEY^2 = EVIL

so....substituting women for money^2 you would get....

WOMEN = EVIL

Someone sent me this email along time ago but it's still funny to me. Just goes to show you can prove just about anything if you have the spare time and math skills.

It doesn't look to me that my credibility is shot when people like pete1660 state things like "I tend to believe SF since I've seen many postings by him (guessing, sorry don't actually know you) and all the info has been quite accurate." And I could care less if you believe what I say or not. Your opinions are worthless to me.

And since when have you cared about credibility in an online forum? You are the one that attacked me several months back when muchdrama, AlSwearengen, and I attacked your credibility. You stated that you didn't care about credibility in an internet forum. All of a sudden you do??? To use one of your canned responses: Pathetic. 🙄
