Cingular / Apple botched release of ROKR

Any stores have their ROKR E-1 handsets yet? Anyone have the launch materials yet?

My phones are due in tomorrow and 2 are already sold.

ROKR E1

We got our live demo in today.. I'm pretty impressed with it.. however, it is kind of slow when you have something playing and then trying to do something else.. battery is fantastic! and it's not much bigger than the 6230.


however, the 250 price point is a different store. I think it will sell, and they are doing a huge advertising campaign on it, i feel it will probably be the next RAZR type deal..

just my two cents

Phone Prices

I'm a dealer and I was curious on what you other dealers are doing as far as prices. We always use the suggested retail prices and prices with new activations. But what do you guys do for upgrades and migrations. I'm also curious on what the Corporate stores price for migrations and upgrades. Any info would be hlepful.

Cingular This/Cingular That

Everyone on this forum is busy saying how much Cingular sucks. Based on your statements, I believe that you all hold yourself to be an authority on cell phone providers. I have been with ATTWS and now Cingular for 7 years.

While I do have complaints, they are not as drastic as all have voiced here. Believe me, if we had DoCoMo, or Vodaphone, or Orange in Illinois, I would be one of the first to sign up.

Having said that, since Cingular is sooo bad, what do you all suggest?! I am not talking about a boycott, but rather, what service provider would you recommend?!

Yo La Tengo ringtones?

Where you I find some Yo La Tengo or maybe Keane ringtones? Can someone with good taste in music tell me? I looked in MEdia Net but they have nothing but commercial crap I never/don't listen to... Help! I know there has to be a website out there where someone like me can get decent ringtones.

Cingular UMTS news and other information

UMTS will launch in the last few months of 05 adding about 15 more markets to the existing former AT&T wireless UMTS test markets. PTT is on schedule for a launch this quarter there is still a lot of people in the company that love KODIAK platform. Some people still upset that we did not wait for UMTS and do PTT over data to give cingular worldwide PTT. But once the carrier Orange in Europe selected KODIAK for its platform for PTT. Cingular is still hoping that they can do a deal for European PTT.

ROKR E1

How come this phone was released by Cingular without being posted on phonescoop first? Even now that it was released, it's still nowhere to be found in here. I want to see/read the specs of the ROKR. 😡

In response to springaf

Found this in the Cingular brochure figured I'd share it "Cingular also imposes the following charges: a regulatory cost recovery charge of up to$1.25 to help defray its costs incurred in complying with obligations and charges imposed by state and federal telecom regulations, a gross receipts surcharge, and state and federal universal charges. These are not taxes or government-required charges" It seems to me Vzw was trying not charge their customers unnecessary fees until they had choice, while on the other hand cingy has been doing it for years $1.25-.40=.85. So all of you cingy customers who are tired of dropped calls and sick of crappy customer service SWITCH NOW AND SAVE!!!!At Verizon we welcome you with open arms and appreciate the cha...

Total Domination

Yes I'm upset about Cingular not having Ringback tones VERY upset! However, I'm not writing these threads out of pessimism but out of optimism, for example the new I-tunes phone is going to Rock and bring lots of new subscribers right? This however is not what I'm talking about. Writing in these forums and glad slapping each other on the backs about everything Cingular is doing right is not going to maintain our lead in subscriber additions! I would much rather have someone give me constructive criticism on how to become #1 through and through, instead of patting me on the but and telling me what a good job I'm doing in some areas. Now I know what you're saying "he is so negative, he is such a whiner" but NOOO, I write because of my pass...

experienced reccomendation?

Hey guys,
I work for a carrier (though not this one) but my father has Cingular. He's been carrying around a v551 with HORRENDOUS sign/voice quality issues. I realize a warranty coverage "might" be applicable to replacing it, but I really would rather just get him a new phone.

I was wondering what people would reccomend as a replacement?
Any models that have a good reputation for RF with Cingular right now?
Bluetooth is preferable, camera/video/media doesn't really matter. oh, overseas phones that you've had experience with count too.

I appreciate your help,
thanks

Best reception RAZR or wait for Nokia 6102?

I've been waiting for the new Nokia 6101/6102 to come out. I've heard that it is supposed to have the best reception of any phone Cingular has ever carried.

However, while shopping for an 850 version of the 6101 on eBay (since I will be paying full retail rather than upgrading my Cingular account) I noticed that the price is not much different than a RAZR which is quad band.

So, long story short, I live in rural Kansas and have previously been using a GAIT phone and plan. I know that my GSM coverage will not compare to my GAIT coverage, but my phone is all but finished, and I'd really like a flip rather than a candybar. What's my best bet for maximizing the reception available to me here? RAZR? Nokia 6101/6102? Or something comp...

Cinglar "Can you keep up?"

In response to a post on here about the ringback things. I agree! Cingular I believe is the last to get everything! Ringbacks, PTT, better phones. I hate when I call customer service and there like "uhhh i don't even know that that is" I think all wireless employee's should be required to check websights like this...and should generally stay up on whats new. Just my opinion...not tryin to hate! 😉

Why would you buy an Ipod over the ROKR?

I am not part of the Ipod minions so I really have no idea of the advantages of a regular Ipod. I am looking solely at cost.

The regular Ipod is $300. The ROKR will be $249.99 on a 2 year agreement.

Do regular Ipods have more features over the ROKR other than capacity?
