New phones

I was at a T-Mobile store earlier in the week to see about upgrading my phone and the manager told me that the Moto v330 was not being sold due to some software issues. He also told me that there are several new BT phones on the way, notably from Samsung. I believe that one of these will be the SGH-D500 slider phone and the other might possibly be the SGH-e720 clamshell. I was also stunned to hear that T-Mo has plans to introduce the RAZR phone in the US this year. Apparently it will be a black model. I think that the RAZR can be seen if you look at T-Mobile's UK site.


I have no evidence to back any of this up, just reporting what I heard. Let's hope that most of this is true. It does make sense when you look at the T-Mo site right now ...

International roaming? Check ahead!

I am presently outside the US and have had international roaming provisioned for *years.* I specifically contacted T-Mobile CC reps prior to my leaving the states to make sure my international roaming was provisioned OK. I was told repeatedly that yes things were just fine. Well, I got off the plane in Amsterdam and I couldn't register on any of the five networks! My prepaid Vodafone account registered fine. I suspected something was awry so first tried to call T-Mobile's international roaming number +1 505 998 3792 first trying to call collect. They didn't go for that 🙂 So, my only other alternative was to use my prepaid Voda account to call the international roaming department. Spent 10 minutes waiting on hold and finally the guy s...

Tmobile phone question, need SMS with different alerts

Ok, here's what I want to do.

I am planning to swith to Tmob from ATT/Cing next month.

I need a phone that can beep once for general SMS messages (news, weather, friends) but play a REALLY LOUD alert for specified SMS (which I would designate via email addy).

Is this possible?
Otherwise I will have to get a pager and use that exclusively for txt alerts.

Basically, I'm trying to get out of getting a pager since I will already have a cell phone that can receive email txt messges.

Let me know if I explained that badly.

Thanks

I think these phones are too rich for my blood:

These new Nokia Nseries N90 and N91 phones might be getting people really hyped about there features and design, but check out their estimated launch times and Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price(MSRP):

TREO 650

Does anyone have an idea as to when the 650 will be available on T-Mobile/ I walked into a corporate store. The assistant did not know but said there had just been a price drop on he 600, which was a sign.
Any info would be appreciated because I am with Verizon, which sucks in my area and T-Mobile appear to have great coverage here.
Thanks in advance.

New PCC maps...

I got on the PCC tool today and noticed that it had been updated as promised. Has anybody else noticed all the additional roaming areas?! The coverage is starting to really look good!

Tzones internet speed

Hi

I recently activated Tzones on my Moto A630 to try out the email and browser capabilities but I feel like it is very slow. It takes 5-10 seconds to load "wap.yahoo.com" a very basic site. Why is Tmobile's data speeds so slow? i thought it was supposed to be GPRS and pretty fast. Also, how does it compare to the other US carriers' internet speeds. Thanks, Rami

A630 & ReQwireless Web Viewer

Does anybody own the A630 and have purchased or trialed the web viewer from Reqwireless for it? Does this java program work well with the A630, and can it access all web sites? If the A630 can work with full HTML support through this software i might get myself an A630 and this program!

Thanks

AIM buddy list? max sn's?

I currently have a V300 and im pretty sure u can only have like 25 ppl on ur buddy list...Is the A630 like the v300, only supports 25 or so buddys? If so is their a way to change this, b/c its pointless to have the qwerty keyboard and not even be able to use it to its potential.

Thinking of switching from ATT/Cingular

They're total bastards.

That being said: I like Tmo cuz they're the only other real GSM service out there, and they have good phones. And catherine zeta jones.

Anyway. I'm guessing that this forum is frequented by Tmo experts, so I'm going to tell you want I have with AT&T now, and hopefully you can tell me what plans I should go with with Tmo.

Hardware:
Sony-Ericsson T637, teathered bluetooth-style to a Palm Tungsten T

Voice plan:
750 anytime + 750 anytime, free LD, no roaming, no weekend/holidays/evenings, $59.99

Data plan:
Unlimited phone/teather data, $29.99

That's what I've got. I used my palm ALOT for email and so forth while I'm on the road, and I love my 1500 anytime minutes.

Does Tmo offer anything similar? I...

Razrberry?

Okay, I realize I may just be starting a big argument by bringing up this topic - but how many reps out there have heard something about T-Mobile releasing a ultra-thin version of the Blackberry? Justinwilliams, Jdigital and I had a big debate over this last week on this forum (and I actually sided with Justin that it was just rumor), but since then I've been hearing about this. Supposedly the CEO of Motorola has a prototype that he's been showing off. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

T-MO PAY

Just wondering if anyone out there knows what T-mo's base pay for sales reps is? Obviously there is commission pay. Could someone tell me the average a rep takes home a year for instance at 100% of quota. I will be working in Florida if that helps.

I just passed the second pre-qual test and I want to have some sort of an idea before I schedule an interview.

OMG - I am going to throw . . .

my f****** phone across the room!! 👿
I have the Samsung Slider phone since July '04.
Almost a year now and all of a sudden I get a voicemail . . . I hear it and delete it! I go call back the person that left me the Voicemail and my phone's screen starts blacking out . . . It freezes and I turn it off then back on. When it turns on the screen looks like a TV when it has no reception and the screen is "raining" . . . my phone's screen show the same thing only with color and with 2 white lines across it! WTF 😈 It's been happening on and off. I called T-Mobile and the lady said that she has the same phone and never heard of it before. Then that nut job want me to wait 10 days and get a "REFURB"?!?!? Does she have a screw loose? ...

Motorola SLVR V8

This looks like a really really nice phone but it doesn't look cheap. Knowing Motorola I expect the price from the upper $600s-mid $700s. I hope this phone isn't like the Razr - that it's all looks but no fuction. I am just wondering if T-Mobile USA will get this phone. 😎
