VZW TREO600 & AUD 9900 & MOT V710 Update

😁 Just thought I would let everyone know that VZW now has the Treo600. It is only available to Corporate accounts at this time but it will be avail Aug 1st for the general consumer to purchase.

Also the AudioVox 9900 and Motorola V710 should be out around Sept. 1st

Just thought I would give a heads up.

customer service

I haven't been subscribed here that long, but I've only seen discussions pertaining to equipment and networks. How would you all rate the carriers as it pertains to customer service?

Once Again-Cingular Roaming

I would like to thank all of you for replying to the original thread posted about cingular's roaming clause in the contract.

All of you provided excellent well thought out feedback that was not critizing, nor was it biased. When I replied back asking where in the VZW contract it has that same clause all of you were quick to find that clause and direct me to it since I've read it many times and couldn't find.

On a side note; I like coming to these forums because it's a good place to discuss about m&p's, debate w/ other carriers. I really enjoy how everyone is so mature in the way they write and present themselves. I also enjoy that this forum has not turned into a chatroom where topics go off on a tangent and become irrelevant. The one ...

Anyone Attending NSU?

I'm starting a law program down at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL this Fall and was just curious if anyone who frequented these boards happened to be an NSU student, faculty or from around the area and could speak for the Verizon coverage?

My apartment is within a few blocks of the campus so I'm hoping if coverage on campus is good so will coverage at my apartment.

Thanks!

Attn: Verizon reps. and Corporate Headquarters....?

I have an interesting question. I have been to the T-Mobile store and to a Cingular store. I asked them both if a certain city had a tower either in or very near to where I to a street that I was interested in. They showed where their towers were, and I even knew where the nearest street to the tower was.
My question is this: Does Verizon have another website other their major one that shows either the whole nation or state? These two maps are to generalized. I want to see what the Verizon salesperson see's. Why is it, that the Verizon salesperson does not want to share this info with a possible customer?
We all know all carriers can't carry every single spot, so why be so secretive? I am presently a Verizon customer with a few mo...

Question about 4600

I called Verizon yesterday about an issue and they asked for my ESN number of the phone.
I gave it to them and they said it started with a "D" - I told them mine started with "HEX" - They were like O - ok.
What does the "HEX" mean? Is this a re-conditioned phone and not a brand new one?
Anyone know? 😕

Band Question

"GSM operates in the 900-MHz and 1800-MHz bands in Europe and Asia, and in the 1900-MHz (sometimes referred to as 1.9-GHz) band in the United States."

"CDMA technology is the basis for Interim Standard 95 (IS-95) and operates in both the 800-MHz and 1900-MHz frequency bands."

I read in a couple of posts from I think phonepimp stateing that 900 and 800mhz bands penetrate walls better. If this is true can provide some literature on this?

Phonepimp did reply to this; I asked for some literature and never heard from him again

Verizon and Treo

1. Does anybody have any updates on when Verizon will be releasing the Treo 600/610? I was under the impression that it would be released by July 12th.

2. I've heard that the 610 will have a higher resolution display and more memory, but have also heard complaints about the 600's camera. Is there a chance that the 610 will have a better camera.

And what are the chances for an extendable antenna?

Can We Agree?

Can we agree to find better words in our vocabulary than cool and sucks?
Sometimes when I read the posts here I get a wierd flashback of walking into the front room when my son was watching MTV while Beavis and Butt-Head were on.
Kind of makes me want to go and get some nachos.
Contrary to many opinions Cingular's last name is not Sucks. They are people like we are trying to make a living in this wild world of wireless.
I am very opinionated about whether GSM or CDMA is better but I can't honestly say GSM cannot complete a call.
I try to back up my opinions with facts and hopefully after posting this I won't become a hypocrite.
For all of us in sales shame on us. We should know that an objection is nothing more than a request for m...

Merger Setbacks

To Phone Pimp and Cain, what is this I'm hearing...Dow Jones News is stating that a Consumer group called Consumer Federation of American, is trying to slow the FCC's review...saying that the 6 months will not allow them enough time to analyze new info the FCC has given them? Any input on this?

V60p

I have had the verizon v60p for a good 7 months now and the only problem i have with the phone is that the connection will randlonly cut out when i am talking on my phone. it could also use a color screen. Also i understand that verizon has just entered the market in the PTT game. i am a firm believer in verizon and i know they will improve there PTT speed. For now i think they should work on coming out with new PTT phones real soon. There are a lot of people out there that need another reason to buy the PTT for verizon. New and better phones would be a good marketing technique. On that note. i have been hearing from my friend who works at verizon that by the end of august there should be a few more phones our with the PTT feature. like the ...

What if anything does powering down a phone for 15 minutes do?

Is anything accomplished by doing this? I had read in a previous thread last week a recommendation to do this to a individual having a problem. He was also told to then do the *228 PRL update thing.

Dual Mode

Does anyone know where I can buy an old dual mode phone? I usually get dual mode and band mixed. I'm looking for a phone that operates on a digital 800-900mhz band and anaolog.

I think dual mode is digital and analog, and dual band is all digital (CDMA 1900mhz and 800 mhz)
