i760: Data still connected after send/receive image via MMS

I've searched and found some contradicting answers. So to recap, 1) I will not be charged to send/receive images 2) Images = MMS = data 3) Data connection is required to use MMS

So my question(s),
1) Why am I still connected to Boardband Access after I've sent and/or receive an image?
2) If I am charge for pix/messages, wouldn't the (active) BA connection constitute usage thus being charged for data?

If I am entitle to pix/messages w/o charges for data, I would prefer so and not disable the data.

I wasn't able to find anything about the active connection after send/receive images.

Bleu tropix? how is reception going?

Bleu tropix....I am about to take the plunge into the ENV2...I think you had said you live in a fringe area...how is the reception going with the phone? and the call quality?? I have always had Motorolas too and I am a little afraid to switch...as I would be paying full retail. Just wondered how your experience is working out...or if you want to go back to Moto.

can you...

1) send text from the front by just pressing send button after typing it?

2) Set navigation to the shortcut key inside phone?

3) set individual text alerts for each person, like you can with ringtones?

4) set photo caller id? and does the pic show up on outter screen? what's it look like if you can?

Vzw to Att: Switching between phones not so bad with Vzw afterall

One of the biggest complaints people with verizon always say is that switching between phones is such a hassle having to either call customer service or log into My Account to do the ESN swap. Everyone wishes that verizon had sim cards like Att and Tmobile, but are sim cards really so great if you switch between phones daily?

I always thought the same thing while I was with Verizon. When the iphone came out and I switched to Att, I learned that using verizon's "my account" to switch esns really wasn't that bad afterall. I switch phones at least once a day, usually when I work out or go to the beach, i switch to my "secondary phone" that I dont care too much about. For a while I was also switching between the iphone and the razr2 as primar...

Q about the Curve or any RIM phone

how good is it for txting and sending picture messages .. I had the 8525 for AT&T and it was rather horrible IMHO


I dont mean as far as keyboard .. but how does the platform work .. for lack of a better term

Is there AIM as well? or is that a 3rd party app


I sooo wish Verizon would come out with a sidekick type phone .. this would be their leading selling phone if they did .. Tmobile signal sux in my area so I could NEVER use it for a phone but I have had every SK that came out from the first black and white to the new LX and Ive always only had SK service without minutes .. works awesome when it has a signal .. lol

Touch...

So I have yet to play with a Touch but I have heard from other people that the keyboard is a nightmare to use since the keys are so small, it's hard to hit the right key with your finger you almost have to use the stylus. Does anyone know about how easy the keyboard is to use?

costco activation fee refund

If someone starts a line of service at Costco, then has another VZW customer take over that line before the activation fee is waived, will there still be a credit for the activation fee on the (now inactive) account? The rep and costco still get credit for the activation/contract because it isn't being disconnected, just a name change.

My new EnV2--and does anyone know

So i got my EnV2 yesterday in maroon and i love it.
It has great sound quality but i wish it would ring louder but the ear piece volume is great. I do not like the little outside screen that much but i can get used to that. It does not have a flash and i miss that (i had the orange EnV)

Okay so maybe i have not played with the phone enuf but does anyone know how to set the key lock timer for the outside to be longer so it does not come on so fast???
