Why do we get all the crappy phones? where are the good ones?

we still dont have a version of the krzr, and verizon has had theirs for a month.

where the hell is the friggin treo 750?

the treo 680 is such an abysmal phone features wise. should never have been released

where is the nokia n75? i heard all this "thanksgiving release" and the so called "cingular and nokia worked very closely on it" crap but it never materialized

why did they release a black motorola l6? who cares

why is cingular still testing fiddling with a V3xx, why not just go straight for the MAXX?

blackberry pearl doesnt even hav 3G yet its supposed to be used for internet purposes

We have the 8525 and the blackjack. Why would you worry over a 750? If its the touch screen go with the 8525 which is nearly the same cost. The blackjack offers high speed data access for nearly $200 less! All three use windows mobile 5.0 so other than form factor there isn't too much to be concerned with. The pearl isn't 3G however its edge speed is pretty quick. I like it for look and form. Sure type gets easier with time as well.

ehhh no thanks cellnator, im happy with the network, just that the phones are pretty garbage as it is.

all i want is a thin flip phone that plays music and has a good mic on it

from the reports ive heard about the a707, the mic is really low, and the phone is kinda cheap quality (typical samsung/LG)

perhaps I need an iphone to hold me over.


its really retarded how cingular can put out "Music phones" yet these phones dont even have 3.5mm headphone jacks wtf?

also, no accessories come with the phone so in order to buy all that, its another 100 bucks (including SD card)

at $249 for a 4GB, i think apple will finally put out hot music phone that will catch on widely

I thought that the sony ericson and the motos both came with adapters for 3.5mm in box. In the case of the sony it does come with the software and data cable, 128mb card, and headphones. There is also an additional rebate of $60 for your 1Gb card on top of the standard rebates. As for apple, if the ipod costs are any indecator of what phones would be then i think i will pass thanks.

well, the iphone inside sources say that the 4GB will be 249, and the 8GB is $449

keep in mind that these prices are not with any carrier subsidies

I also read that cingular was supposed to be the exclusive carrier for the iphone (i dont really think this is true) sources say that there will be both a GSM and a CDMA version.

sources also indicate that the iphone will be released in january

it is believed to be announced at the MacWorld Expo in san francisco which i believe is january 9th

I actually dont hav any of that information.

its also been said that the iphone will feature a slide out keyboard (i think this is just a regular dialing one, not qwerty) its also predicted to boast an external touch screen

Wow, your really trying to work it today. All phonescoop needs now is a buisness card generator so you can at least make some cash for your effort. Granted i'm sure this is more of an attempt to ruffle feathers.

Thank God we don't have the KRZR. It owuld just be another phone that I would sell to people who don't know about phones but need soemthing cool, but then will just return it later because it is a piece of crap and they are stupid.
