List of Tentative Phones for USCC

metoo

Jul 27, 2006, 12:24 PM
Is there a list of phones that are tentatively slated to be available from USCC? I've heard of a Motorola bag phone (maybe m800?), the Nokia 6265, the LG 8100 and the Samsung A950. Are there others?

That would be the kind of thing we get ragged on/ in trouble for where we work. But from what I read in your post, you are very well informed of some of the phones that are slated for testing.

Hey thanks for the info. That will help me decide when to renew my contract.

There are others in testing too but as they didn't make it on the current rebate pad, the chances of them being released before September 16 are slim because since US Cellular has gone to a mail in rebate, I haven't seen them change it mid way through a promo.

You can view the rebate itself at www.uscc.com/rebate - just click on the Rebate Order Form up top.

Moto, you're doing us customers a good service. Thank you. Now I too can have some hope for renewing my contract soon and getting rid of my 262.

Just a further FYI, all three LG phones have passed testing and been approved for sale. I would say we'll be seeing these in the stores within a couple weeks.

Our LG rep actually stopped in this week too to show some demo units. They should be pretty nice.

LG Quality meets Megapixel Camera meets Bluetooth technology! Yeah, its a little late coming, but it'll be worth it!!!

ignore motosux. he has no idea what he is talking about. he probably does not even work for uscc, and if he does, it is probably for some useless agent.

You can't find the rebate form on uscellular.com/rebates?!

How dare that knave lie!

I hope you aren't saying that agents are useless. Our little useless agency outsold the local corporate store for most of this year.

So what exactly do you think I was wrong on since you are all-knowing.

I do work for an agent, in fact, and am proud to help contribute to over 50% of USCC's total business.

Well, we have had several phones be on the rebate form and never show up, so don't get too excited about anything on the form. And I'm not boo hooing. I'm just a little social commentary, if I were to list the phones from Agent Connections, some other idiot would jump in and try to tell me I would be fired (like he could do it to me) next week for offering confidential info. I can't win for losing I guess.

thats one annoying this about this forum is some bootlicker has to look at the forums every once in a while, read something and register that moment to say something completely retarded and then is gone forever.

I don't take it personally, I just find it funny, that I get barked at for not offering confidential info as much as I get barked at for typing the word Everest in June. Geez.

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't realize you were on our side.

I do think they are being more conservative with the rebates though. I honestly think we'll get all the phones on it this time except for maybe the UT Starcom.

"except for maybe the UT Starcom."
And that is not a big loss at all. Audiovox...even under a different name...has one of the worst interfaces to use of ANY phone. Moto's are bad...but AudioStarcom is the WORST.

Rebates have worked the same for years. Any phone that you charge a certain amount for will be on the rebate form. Right now that ceartain amount is 49.95. The exceptions to the rules are phones that are being discontinued and phones that are sold for less than 49.95. That has been how they do it for years.

Yeah, I just about fell off my chair when I first read that they are bringing back a Motorola Bag Phone. I guess its supposed to get better reception in the boonies, but wow...talk about archaic.

Red, Silver Razr, krazr, 323i, and L7c sliver (no color specified) are truly being tested u can esn change to them if you scan a moto v3 it pops up. YEA YEA

Yeah, just remember that its not likely that all of these will get approved. They are way too advanced for us to approve. We only get low end, crappy phones.

You have no idea. I have twelve people waiting patiently. It's like a phone with a built in car kit. I can't talk these rednecks into believing that blue tooth car kits are a good thing. They all want to be able to charge, speakerphone and such all at the same time, just like they used to with the old Motorolas and Nokia 5100's.

Does anyone know if these phones pass testing and everything when they would be released?
...

Aug 12, 2006, 10:05 AM
Nobody knows that kind of thing. We have several (3) phones waiting for Friendly User Trials, but even after that it could take months for them to release the phones. We have had phones sit on the testing list for 8-10 months before release. And by then, they are end of production life and we don't keep some of them very long. Ex. Nokia 6255 and possibly Kyocera KX5.

Anybody know what a Samsung Pascal a645 is? It just showed up in my Samsung choices today when I was doing an activation. PS doesn't have any info and the last time I checked Samsung, they didn't have any info. I do know it is a trimode phone, that much was in the description.

From my understanding, the KRZR and SLVR are both in testing right now, as well.

I got to see a krzr at RadioShack Golden quarter. That is a sweet phone. I hope it's tougher than the razr.
