Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood
This phone is DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!!!!!
I am currently a AT&T/Cingular customer and I am still on the $99 unlimited plan. My plan was to keep my AT&T plan and my phone (motorola V600) and add a Verizon phone so that I could make calls in areas where my AT&T phone doesn't work becuase usually one will work where the other one doesn't.
So I waited and waited and waited until yesterday. I went into Circuit Silly and bought the phone. I started to use it and the sound quality was pretty good.

I believe "Cingular" is analog and "Cingular Wireless" is digital.
That's why I say this phone is disappointing, they did away with the tri-mode and now I will have to return it.
between *228 and *18 your digital should be the best it could be!
I don't care if the phone is CDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc. The Verizon phone service doesn't work at my house but Cingular does. Verizon is disappointing and so was the phone. It had very poor sound quality and the battery life sucked. I am sticking with my V600.

Cingular = you're using an old ATT tower
Cingular Wireless = Cingular.
As far as analog goes, it's being removed by the FCC in a year or so. Soon all the trimode phones will be pointless anyway.
There will never be a V-Cast phone with analog anyway.
815 has better voice dialing.
815 has equal speakerphone.
815 has much better keypad.
815 has a bigger battery.
815 has a better external display.
815 looks real nice and feels sturdier.
815 has a much better camera....you need to send pic's to the PC to see the difference and they are significant.
It has V-C...
