Release Dates......Seen by Email from Rep
LG Shine Black
Sony K850i--MAY 4th
LG Touchscreen...I Belive the VU-- April
A few others as well
So, It should be a Good Summer for all in Sales
Peace
Sony K850i Buy it unlocked unbranded now
Camera is not 5mp quality
LG Vu Better late than never
This is a less than exciting line up for the upcoming months.
Now the Nokia N95-3 (also better unbranded unlocked) would be nice as well as the new BB 9000.
Thank you for the updates though--
The list from AT&T that goes on the back of price cards for sales rep says
SONY K850i
-----------
3G
HSPDA
5.0 Megapixel Camera
Fox Sports Network Built In
Oh yea, HSPDA, 5 MP = GAME OVER
Now I can relax, thank you Sony and thank you AT&T
Way to work things out, your consumers will be very satisfied
PRICE Not yet determined
The N- Series will release another phone through AT&T, but not the N-95
The K850i is going to be released on AT&T, Just watch
k850 has been officially been canceled.
don't be surprised if you see n95 and other n-series phones later this year.

The problem will be getting the phone subsidized cheaper then one can already buy one discounted from retail!!!

at&t is getting the N95 but it wont have the hard drive.
The N95 does not now nor did it ever have a HARD DRIVE......Do some research.
We just got POP for the k850. It is being picked up by our market. I did hear some markets opted out of having it for one reason or another. Expensive phones will sell if marketed right. Take the iPhone for example. Everyone said it was to expensive, but look how that is selling.

Apple has a corner of the market. Any market. Anything they put their name on or put i in front of will be popular. It's inevitable. Sony Ericsson could not create that kind of hype if they wanted. The only other company right now that could pull that off would be Google.
Thats not true.
Here are a few Failures Apple did not corner the market on.
Apple TV
g4 Cube
Apple Pippin
Apple III (recalled)
Rokker (Yep Apple and Moto were together on that one.)
Newton, Lisa, Failed in the market place.
All products during John Scullys reign.

Exactly......
however the subsidy on the N82 or N95 would be a couple hundred dollars. You can get that much of a discount of MSRP now!!
Buy phones offline and pay month to month until or unless the Carrier offers a phone you really really want AND you can save enough to make it worth while.
Anyone can buy a K850 already. Many have...

Just got myself N82 yesterday for $429 - after extra $50 off. Life is good.
Now all we need is for Congress to force carriers to explicitly "unbundle" their service costs from their phone subsidies.
There are some lower data prices that require a contract like the laptop connect or iPhone packages, but there's an uncontracted laptop price and I'm sure a higher priced iPhone package will come out eventually.
I believe you are wrong on that. When I originally signed with ATT/Cingular back when it was still Cingular I had my own phone. I was forced to sign a 2yr contract even with that phone. If I am wrong please set me straight.
1) Current policies required a two year contract.
2) The person helping you lied to you in order to make more money.
It was likely the second though. Whenever they required contracts for weird things it was usually an 11 month.
Why don't you just sell all phones at a open market competitive price, you would still make money because your buying power would allow for a cheaper cost to you. You can still insist on a contract whether the customer gets the phone from you or another supplier, there is nothing illegal with that. You really need to consider getting rid of the "free phone", that way your customer base doesn't feel its having to pay for someone else's deal.

Why do the phone companies continue to have subsidized phone prices? It is a marketing ploy that is beyond its time since the market has matured.

I totally agree. The "subsidy" is nothing but an ordinary discount many retailers who sell phones are giving ...

Seriously, I was hoping I would have more of a European (real) mobile phone model to sell this summer.
Hopefully this Nokia PDA comes out soon.
Sick of the same old same old.
Sidenote-
It's got to be cost, if they are cancelling it at all, I believe you guys, but our RAE keeps telling our company not to worry, and is aware of the Corporate POP being ordered to be destroyed.
We shall see
I understand sick of the same old same old. When I first got into it I bought a new phone every month. Excited to get something new. Then I realized it's the same **** in a different box. 1.3 MP camera, microSD card, bluetooth, same old garbage. Then I bought unlocked and it will take a really nice phone to get me to buy from the company.
I'm indirect agent and we got the POP too. Our RAE doesn't know what happens with phone. He does a good job on the numbers and such but theres a reason he visits my store first when doing his rounds, so he can get a list of what may be coming. He hadn't heard of the k850i, he just had a note to toss the POP. He ...

I just want to carry a mobile device that we sell, because alot of customers ask me what phone I use.
It was to the point where my company basically made me carry a Curve, because I pushed the Sony 810, and then the 580 non-stop....(I don't like returns)
I'm a big fan of our phones we carry now, I see a benifit from all of them and am glad basically all can play music, 3G, and good cameras.
But the Next level of phones is going to launch soon with the Feature goal raised, I see more PDA's all in One phones comming out.
Your REP is like ours it sounds like.
I myself, have been selling all the Pearls, because it won't be long to the Avg. Joe customer knows that the WI-FI version is comming out. I've almost sold th...

Great Idea, But Then I can't use my new phone (if i got one unlocked) and I have to use a store phone.
Example, All my emails, text, and web browsing I do all day with Opera Mini....It would be a pain everyday to clear out the phone I used.
I've thought of this, may end up doing it, and buying a k850 unlocked, even though its still pricey for someone like me staying out of debt and saving money, because the economy is ****ty and I want to be protected.
THE PDA........could be the demise of regular phones, IF.....the consumers get used to much higher phone bills. Most people have already and have all types of media bundles on their accounts, which means more money for us and a consume...
