ROKR phone purchase
Hey you guys, yes, it's me again, 😁 ...
sorry to be a bother...but I was just at the Cingular store wanting to look at this ROKR phone en vivo. Stupid lady couldn't find a motorola charger for me to take a look at it. I said 'its ok, I bought one on the 'net so I don't have to sign a contract...::bye::'; almost certain she was PO'd. Anywho, there was this guy salesman and he was telling me about the updates that are sent through the carriers towers automatically. He mentioned that if I did purchase an unlocked version of a phone, the system would not recognize the IMEI and I therefore would not get any soft/firm-ware updates.
Is this true. Man, I am totally paranoid about this purchase now...
thanks you guys...remember, I'm a...

software and firmware updates aren't sent through the towers, you have to connect them to a computer and download it that way. The only thing sent via the towers will relate to your SIM card.

Lying is no way to win customers, so don't mention it. I hope you enjoy the phone! I think it's a handy piece of memorabilia.

memorabilia !!?? 😳
do you think it is already outdated?
do you own the phone? do you like it? what is your personal take on the phone? any cooler phones coming on the horizon?
sorry, too many questions from a neurotic here...
cheers!

I own the phone, and I like the phone. My only criticism is the LED light for the camera (pictures are better with it off) and that the phone slows down when it's playing music. However, I EXPECT it to be slower, as it's busy pumping out the music!
It's not outdated, but it is memorabilia. This is the first phone that ever had itunes support (I'm a Mac Addict), and we've been waiting on it for over two years. In another twenty years, I'll still have this phone sitting in it's bright orange box with all the accessories packed in tightly.
