Attn T-Mobile reps...
What are your impressions of the new Siemens phone? I'm not sure how quickly it will be available for me to offer through indirect, but I'm interested in seeing what any of you on the direct side think of it now that you have gotten to play with it.
...
We haven't gotten ours yet, usually our shipments come in on wednesdays. But I will give you my opinion once I get to test drive it. It looks pretty schweet, but then again looks can be decieving.

I thought the Sony Ericsson Z200 looked like a cool little phone when I first saw it, and then I got ahold of a couple and its a cheap little piece of junk. I'm a little nervous about the Siemens because it reminds me of that SE.

My friend, just when I start thinking you are pretty smart, you disappoint me. 😉 I don't think that the T610 or the T637 feel cheap or plasticky. In fact, people seem to think just the opposite about them. And as for the Z600, that's one of my favorite phones. It has a really solid, chunky feel to it, and the flip mechanism has that beautiful "click" when you open or close it.

JDigital said:I did the ancient Chinese squeeze quality test. It creaked. No pass! Bad phone!
You squeezed it? Sicko.

Siemens never really attracted me but we'll see how this phone works. I work indirect too so it would be a while I ever see that. I still haven't seen a Nokia 6600 in.. or a samsung e715.. so it'll be a while before I see this new phone.
...
Wow, that's pretty bad... I had both of those right away when they were released. I thought that you said before that you were working for T-Mobile directly as an event representative...
...
well yes, I'm an event rep but they place me in like Sam's Club and Circuit City. Circuit City, they have the e715 last time I was there.. like weeks ago. But I'm usually at Sam's Club and the only ones that they have now is the Nokia 3595, Nokia 6010 and samsung e105
...
So you work for T-Mobile directly, but you spend your time working at indirect locations? I don't know if I could tolerate working at Sam's Club. 🙂
...
ha something like that. I'm an event rep for T-Mobile but the event reps job is to go to indirect locations to help them get some sales. But that means I can take what sales they've gotten before I got there. ;-) shhh i didn't tell you anything. Yeah and at Sam's Club, they don't take deposits so I always lose sales that way >_

Does Sam's Club have special pricing/plans for T-Mobile?
For example what is the pricing of a 600 minute or 1,000 minute plan?
Are the phones cheaper or are there special rebates?
Does one have to go to a Sam's Club to get the details?

there are no special plans. However, there are pretty good deals on handsets. The best ones around that I've seen, excluding the online ones. The E105 is free after mail-in rebates and there are two free nokias there. the v300 is about 69.99 after mail-in rebates.
