Your opinion please!

Ok, long story short, finally thinking of giving up my Motorola Star Tac, and am looking at these 3 phones. I would like your opinion.

Here is what I care about. Large phone book, decent battery life, bluetooth, and above all else reception, being the MOST important. In the past I have tried other phones and none of them compared to the star tac for me, so I really want to be sure.

Here is what I am looking at.

Samsung SCH-a990

LG VX8700

and

Moto Razr maxx ve

All the other features these phone provide are nice, but I depend on my phone for work (outside sales) so what do you think would be right for me?

Thanks in advance for your help

v3m discussion

Why do most people bash the v3m? It works well for me as a phone, email device, for getting info from mobile web etc. Its also small and fits well in my pocket...

The only real improvement could be the battery life, but that is the complaint of most cell phone users...

Anyway, with the upcoming release of the v9m, I thought us v3m users could discuss our likes and dislikes...

Also, do any v3m users plan to jump to the v9m or will you keep your v3m for awhile longer?

Thanks
Mark

total equip. coverage

I was under the impression that the $6 total equip. coverage was meant to cover everything but lost, stolen and water damage without having to pay the $50 deductible. I know with Sprint it is like that so when I added it with VZW I asked if it was the same and the rep told me yes... I have the vx9400 and the screen went out on me... can anyone tell me what the total equip. coverage entails and can I get around the $50 deductible since I was given false info?

My G'zOne

Still works flawlessly!

I don't know if I could ever own another phone unless it could adhere to G'zOne standards...

Leave it out in the sun for an hour, who
cares!!

wet hands hanging at the pool who cares!!

I just couldn't imagine having to be careful with a phone again... 😁

Verizon Tech Confirms Software Issue with W385 & KRZR K1m

Hello Everyone,

I talked to a Verizon tech in the Chicago area about the issues with the new flash UI found on the Moto W385 and the KRZR K1m. The issues are:

1. No indication to tell you what is the current selected ringtone.

2. No easy way to toggle from ring to vibrate mode, and vice versa.

He confirmed that this is not right and will follow the proper channels to inform Motorola that a software update needs to be done to correct these issues.

Note: These are the only 2 phones that VZW carries that has these issues, and the tech confirms that it was Motorola's blunder, and that it should have been caught somewhere in testing.

Sound familiar, Motorola, such as the days following the release of the buggy V325?

W385 reduced...

Just saw on the Verizon site the W385 is now priced at only $29.99. That price will make a lot more people jump at this good little phone!

Thinking about an upgrade.....

I'm 5 months into my two-year contract and have been using the LG8300, which is a great phone. I'm thinking about upgrading to a PDA/Blackberry device, so here are my questions:

1. Do I have to pay full retail for the new device?
OR
2. Can I get the 2-year contract price if I'm willing to sign a new contract?

Just looking for some insight. Thanks.

I hate Verizon

They do not give a crap about their customers, and offer nothing unless you are a 16 year-old girl in high school wanting to run up your wireless bill that you don't pay for with crappy ringtones and games that you play once.

WHERE IS MY GD XV6800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👿 👿 👿

Verizon Rep's Please Explain this ?

Ok, so I have 4 lines in my account. One of those lines is my mom's and she has a separate house line at home. I want to know if I can port the house line to her cell phone line and get rid of her current cell phone number. Know can that be done or what? Last time I spoke with CS He told me it could be done and today when i called the CS rep said that it couldn't be done and that I was misinformed.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Crippled...

Why are the VZW phones so crippled? I might sound like a troll here, but today I saw the En-V, ( not for the first time of course ), and the Chocolate, and realized Verizon is cutting down alot of the phone's potentials.. I don't really know, I was just wondering why Verizon does this with these phones? T-Mobile seems pretty fair with their phones...

Razr 2 V9M is up for sale on the VZW site right now !!

Wow, It's expensive..

I guess the stores will launch sept 2nd ??

Looks cool but with 770MAH battery , I bet you all the money in Fort Knox, talk time will be horrid..

Unless they figured out something no one else knows. Battery's need to me 900-1100 to be decent.. Size makes it impossible and I guess some people will live with the battery..

I hope it's great , The W385 showed us Moto Has a chance.

Question for a VZW Rep.

Last night while going over something with a rep on the phone she informed me about the 3 strikes rule. She said because I'm already on my 3rd KRZR which is giving me problems that instead of getting a refurb. KRZR I can just let the store rep know I am eligible for a comparable replacement. SO.. my question is: Who has say in what a comparable replacement is? Is it already set in stone somewhere, if so, what would my replacement be? Or do I have some leeway depending on which store reps ends up helping me?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Sprint Extends Your Contract Without Written Confirmation???

http://redtape.msnbc.com/2007/07/no-escape-from-.html »

Wow, reading this article kinda ticked me off. Sprint is definitely not making any friends for itself in this matter. 😲

With VZW, while there are things I don't like, at least with them when I do things that extend my contract the rep has always told me at the time, and I've always gotten a letter in the mail confirming the contract end date change.

I can't imagine why a cell company would think its ok not to do written confirmation on something as important as a contract end date change. It's just asking for FCC complaints, and eventual tighter regulation.

ATT Drops 'Fewest Dropped Calls' Campaign... LOL

Too funny... turns out ATT's 'Fewest Dropped Calls' claim was a fraud after all (though I think most ppl knew that), and they're dropping it: 🤣


Following a Better Business Bureau investigation into Cingular's (now AT&T's) "fewest dropped calls" ad campaign and a protracted legal fight with Sprint over the issue, AT&T is reportedly dropping its claim, according to an employee.

Turns out, the assertion was never really true, and was based on only a small part of a larger Telephia report.

As a whole, the [Telephia] report notes that AT&T Wireless did NOT have the most reliable network in places like New York, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, according to Broadband Reports.
