As long-time readers will know, I don't usually do in-depth reviews of individual phones. There are a couple of reasons for that. First, the other phones sites already do that, and do a good job. I want to offer something different. Second, if I did them, I'd want to do them right, (really in-depth,) and I just don't have that kind of time.

But now that the site is pretty big, manufacturers really want me to review their phones, and I frequently have access to pre-release phones that lots of people are interested in.

So I'm going to try something new - an "interactive review". I'll post some casual first impressions, and then people are welcome to ask me questions about it, while I still have the phone (usually a week or two).

First...

Do you keep tabs on when these phones will be released to the public for uses?

On another note.
By the way I'm a new user to this site. I do like the design very professional and well thought out.

Thanks.

What do you think is better for the price:The SE T616 or the SE306? I am getting a new phone because my Nokia 3595 keeps knocking the SIM card out of place, therefore making me drop the call I'm on. Email me at BballBlake90@aol.com 🤣

It's entirely possible this has been addressed, but without a search feature I have no way to look for the answer.

What happened to the compare feature? This was one of the most useful things on this site. Is it still here somewhere and I just can't find it?

What happend to the old Nextel messages that were posted?

I'm starting to like this new format better and better. One of the problems I had when the forums were pulling from Google Groups is that 3/4 of my posts never got posted. At least now they're all getting to the forum, and without the delay, too.

In the previous version there was a compare option to compare major features and functions which was extremely helpful to my profession (Insurance Company) for the major wireless carriers.

Will this feature be enabled at a later date?

Thanks!

Has anyone here got this phone yet? i was looking at it and next to the battery, there is a slot for a SIM card. what is this all about??

I much prefer the new site to the old one, not that the old one was bad or anything. Good job!

Welcome to the all-new Phone Scoop Forums!

This replaces the USENET news groups that were available here previously. There is a long list of reasons why I decided to switch to a dedicated forum system. It boils down to two main things, though:

1. As is the nature of USENET, they were unmoderated. Several of the groups had devolved into troll havens, and I was powerless to do anything about it. The new forums will allow me (and eventually a team of moderators) to make sure the discussion stays civilized.


2. USENET is an ancient technology. It is severely limited and flawed compared to today's modern web message boards. The new forums are much more powerful and flexible, and provide much greater privacy protection.
