New Phones! Samsung Sway & Moto Rapture releases

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/30/samsung-swa ... »

For those who are interested engadget posted a powerpoint that outlines the release of two new phones. The moto rapture, a stylish mid range flip. And the samsung sway, an attractive silver slider (with no EVDO). It looks like both phones will be available starting Oct 6th.

Hopefully the release date for the storm is released soon, I know thats what everyone is waiting for!

Gmail issue with my Blackbery Pearl

Every time I send an email via my gmail address from my blackbery pearl, I receive the same sent email as a new message. It is not horrible, but the problem is VERY annoying. Is there a setting in my gmail account that needs to be changed or is it my phone? Please help!

I am running OS 4.5 on my pearl if that helps, however I was having the same issues running OS 4.3.

GPS/Blackberry question.

Does the Blackberry data plan come with GPS or is that another charge tacked on? I thought I saw on the Verizon Wireless website that it was another $9.99 per month. Thanks

New upcoming Phone releases for VZW

Hi guys.

I just got a postcard in the mail yesterday notifying me of the upcoming BB storm release. Come november/december, I'll definitely be in the market for a new phone. as it stands, I'll most likely upgrade to Storm from BB8830.

Having said that, everytime I get a new phone, like few months later they release couple new ones. I also know around christmas time, they like to release bunch of new phones.

So can someone please clue me in as to what the new upcoming possible phone releases are? rumor or not?

Also, should I wait til right after the christmas to get a new phone? I have a free upgrade I've been waiting and waiting to use.

Thanks in advance!

The Curve no sound call problem

Ok so many people I know that have the Curve are having the same problem. I am sure this has been mentioned before but I cant find anything about it. Anyway my Verizon Curve sometimes has no sound, the person I am calling can hear me fine but I cant hear anything. I have also heard that this may be tied to getting MMS messages. Anyway I am on my second Curve and and still getting the same thing, how do I fix this problem??

Kinda ...Help

So...I just received my Verizon Pearl yesterday...and it's gorgeous and does MMS and is tons of fun. Except...it is slow as hell. when i open Navigator, it takes like 1 full minute to open and it's ridiculous. Also, when I open a text message, and go to respond, it takes FOREVER! and then when I start putting text in, I am regularly about 1-2 words ahead of the letters showing on the screen....what's going on? I've reset the phone, I've pulled the battery. I've removed apps I don't need. I don't know what else to do! PLease HELP!! â˜šī¸

Bold vs Storm-Verizon vs ATT

Well, I am at odds right now. Loving both of these new devices about to come out but have gotten really frustrated with the delays behind the Bold. Have been checking out the Storm, and though I have been with ATT for several years now, I have heard great things about Verizon. The main reason I have stayed with ATT is because only them and Sprint offered coverage in the small town we are from. But Verizon, not sure when, now offers great coverage in our town. And though we no longer live there, we go home a lot to visit and need to be able to use our phones. Anyhow...I've also recently learned that Verizon offers employee discounts through the company I work for and I've always heard that they are a great network to be on. So now I am...

do phones make a difference?

Hi all,
I posted this in "general" and was advised to try over here.
I live in out in the country and have been with T-Mobile for a few years. I had a Samsung E105. Service is good, and at least I can talk inside my house. I recently upgraded my phone to a Nokia 6133 because the sales rep said it would be a much better phone reception wise. Well I got it home and I can't get any bars in my house, and sometimes even when I go outside, I still can't get any. I returned the phone and asked if I stayed with Samsung if I would be more likely to get decent reception. He said not necessarily.
I'm confused. I can see how switching carriers would have an effect, but why would the phone? Why does my old phone work better than a brand new one? They ...
