"S" is rumored to have bluetooth, Micro SD card slot, and a more compact design, with an internal antenna.

Antenna's not really internal...its one of those stupid loop antennas.

I like the loop antenna but that just me, its way better looking then just a long stub thats currently on the type V imo. The redone shell looks great!

Feb 16, 2007, 1:35 PM
yeah, i really like the type S...the type V never really appealed to me.

Gunny...hows the voice clarity and volume on the handset? And hows the reception? Those were my two biggest concerns with gzone.

The ear piece volume is clear and Very loud. The reception is great, the reception bar was a little misleading it would show no bars in some fringe areas but still would call out without any problems. Overall I would say it was just a tad shy in the RF dept compared too the 8300. I did many side by side test with both the 8300 and E815 and was happy overall. The ringer volume was a little low, but usable.


I'm stoked for this next one I do miss having the mini sd. I have heard a few rumors that they will be releasing a water resistant head set too ๐Ÿ™‚

If it only had an MP3 player, it would be the perfect phone ๐Ÿ˜ข

true...although I will personally never use a phone mp3 player...atleast until the iphone is 40gb in 2010 and is sold on verizon.

Feb 16, 2007, 3:45 PM
See, I like music, but Im not one of these people who need a 40gb Ipod, I have a 1mb card in my 8300, with around 250 songs on it, with room left, and it suits me just fine
...
cwcanty

Feb 16, 2007, 4:41 PM
yeah, I thinks thats pretty true for most people... I DJ part time, so I have about 7,000 songs on my ipod which is about 23 gigs. So the iphone for me isn't going to be a huge deal until they drastically increase the memory.

basically just bluetooth, memory card slot, and they fixed some minor voice clarity issues. Not a whole lot of changes.

Hope it's MUCH smaller. Not only is it a pain to lug around, people WILL make fun of you. I, personallly, don't see the point in having multiple lines with phones I use once in a blue moon. So, I think I am going to get a Motorola i530 or some other rugged phone with a Boost SIM so I can use the phone when I go somewhere, and just add time when I need to.

if people make fun of you...just drop it in a beer...then have a buddy call it...then say, "can your phone do that?"

I'm not that impressed with the u620. My store received a dummy model the other day. The screen is way too small for making it one of the mobile TV flagship phones.
