I'd be scared to spend 500 or more on something I could break with a simple drop.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only cingular?!?! That sucks!
Well I was thinking of going with cingular i'm with verizon and their phones suck! My cousin works for cingular in the corporate dept and he is able to get every phone for free, he has like 2 black berries and a bunch of other phones. Maybe he can hook me up!
Cingular's customer service suxxored ass, so I defected to Verizon a long time ago.
Meh. I have Tmobile :( :( :(
i want it! does anybody know when its coming out?
the beginning of June
I hope every verizon burns this very second and I'm not gonna lie I wouldn't cry if I found out their customer service "assistance" were still inside.....
Hmm...anyway...
I have Cingular...I WANT THIS!
It's sexy. I want it bad.
Finally a cell phone I really want!
I have absolutely no problem giving up Verizon. I'm sick and tired of their disabling features on phones and replacing them with their greedy "Get it Now." I'm tired of the absolutely worst phone selection in the world. Who needs their new-every-two if there's nothing to choose from. I still have a Nokia 3285 -- and I pray to God it lasts until the iPhone is out -- and I keep it because it is simple, I don't need glasses to see the keypad because I can feel it, and it's so easy to use. I have no need to take snapshots with a phone. I've begged (without success) Verizon to carry the Sagem VS1 or VS2 which Vodafone came out with -- but not enough features to sell "Get it Now" crap with. But when you combine music, email, voicemail, phone, smarts, etc. in an Apple wrapper, please don't bar the doors!
Oooh, my Sprint contract is up in September and I'll have more discretionary income. Its cute, but I'm feeling oh so frugal these days for stuff like that. I barely even use my Nano!
That phone made me horny..
pooooopy no verizon, and i already fell in love with the phone.
Let me just say I find it bullshit tmobile wont have it! I sooo want that fucking thing. Its almost tempting enough to go BACK to cingular to have it.
I wonder if their exclusive to cingular?! anyone know?
I want that phone so bad ..so fucking bad. I'd easily spend 500 for an apple product. and it comes with wigets! I have a mac and honestly there is nothing fucking better.
their products are amazing in comparison to ..well other shit out there.
while it is thin, and it is touch screen ( which could pose some issues. ) at the same time the fact that its got 8gb is pretty fucking cool. 16 hours of music play time or I think 6 hours of talk time.
Im sure though it'll have some sorta apple care you'll have to purchase with the phone if you want good support. But if the chatting, texting capabilities are rad it's going to give the blackberry, sidekick's a run for their money.
You will probably be able to get it unlocked and use it for tmobile, but you won't be getting any kind of two year signing bonus.
I was reading the mac forums.... Yeah, it's exclusive to Cingular, but I read something like LB said. That you can unlock it and use it on another service. I didn't really read too much into that, but I guess it can be done.
Cingular isn't that bad for me. I switched to them for the phone I have now.
Damn I was looking forward to upgrading my phone to the Samsung Blackjack. Now I'll have to rethink that one.
A GSM phone can be used on any GSM network, the biggest in the USA are Cingular and Tmobile. Cingular unlike Tmobile locks their phones so you can only use a Cingular SIM card with their phones. Even if you just buy the phone retail from them. Unlocking costs $5-20, and doesn't take any real technical skill.
You should be rethinking that one anyway. Why anyone would need 3g on a device with WM5 smartphone edition, I will never understand.
I just spoke to my cousin and he said that yea the phone is out in June and that it is BAD ASS.. He will be able to get it soon so i'll let you all know how it is.
He said that it is $500 for one and $600 for another .. not to sure what he meant by that, will have to ask him when I see him later.
Btw unlocking phones are easy you can do it yourself, you can get codes online for it. I have had loads of phones unlocked. Although this was mainly done in the UK. Tmobile phones are one of the easiest phones to unlock.
Haha yea I try to make connection's everywhere.. in this case it's perfect cos its fam, ya know ;)
