Sony Ericsson S710a

think we in the U.S will eva see that one? lol

Perhaps. If anywhere it'll probably be on T-Mobile. Or maybe on Cingular's distant WCDMA network. Personally to me, for being a clamshell that thing looks a tad bit big, kind of like the Z1010. Long also. But maybe it just looks like that from the pictures.

I agree...I took a look at it and I felt that it was rather goofy looking for a clamshell.

cingular nor t-mobile run on any cdma network. we are gsm and umts.....do your research man!!!

I'm not going to say I know everything here...but it sounds to me like WCDMA is a section of umts - of which Cingular is developing WCDMA coverage - my area (Atlanta being first).

My research comes from here:

So before you go bashing my bro, Hero, A) try to understand what it is he's saying and B) be a little more polite about it cause it sounds to me like he knew what he was talking about (scary 😁 )

Thanks man! 😁

Do your research, WCDMA is another name for UMTS. It's sometimes referred to as 3G.

Not only will they have the black Razr v3, but they have will have a candybar style (Slvr V😎

So looks like they are going to run with this razr style to try and get their money out of it.

Also, Samsung announced the first slider that doesn't look like the rear end of an elephant (personal opinion).

that should have been 8 ) not 😎

Yeah, uh huh, suuure! Prooooove it! 🤣

JK 😛

That candy bar Rzr is uuuuugly.
I like the way the Samsung slide phone looks, but that about it 😳

Hero. you're such a bitch! 😉

Aww, that's the nicest thing I've heard all day. You're so flattering! 😁

LOL. Of course, i mean it in the nicest possible way.

The keypad on the Samsung reminds me of a RAZR, blugh!

RAZR is all hype and not an once of anything more. If I really wanted to invest my money into it, I'd just go with a V551 or pretty much any other Moto, same sh*t all around.

I was with Nextel before Cingular, had a Moto i730 and i710... 😳 Man, I dunno what Motorola is doing over there but surely they aren't doing anything pertaining to engineering cellular phones. Just very expensive paper weights that don't even do too good of a job at that.

I use nextel for work ( an i58sr) and I can't stand it!

Yeah, that samsung has similar design to the keypad but at least there is some function behind the phone as a whole - and a slider that isn't big and bulky is nice to see.

Of course there is nothing behind the razr except marketing - which is why we hear about it all the time. People are drawn in by the slim lines and thing "this is a good phone". It's what Motorola strives for.

🤣 Very expensive paper weights....

Motorola has slacked up on their quality..they were pretty good a LOOOOOONG time ago, like when I had a Star-Tac...the phone that everybody and there mother had, but afterwards...it was down hill from there.
Remember the P935 2-way messenger? They were so bad, they don't even make them anymore....I have an old one sitting upstairs, collecting dust....

Yah, the star-tac was a pretty good phone in it's day. I had one that lasted forever.

Hey I think this woman at work had one, it sort of looked like an electronic translator and it said Motorola on the front flip up part, I was wondering what it was so I asked her. She got all ****y and replied, "What do you think it is?". Umm, I dunno, maybe a weather controlling device?! 😳 Durr, I asked for a reason.

Yup, that's it. I was not a fan...

And it was used strictly used for text messaging?

Yup. and was a contact manager / calendar too!

Now the only thing left to wonder is which one of the 3 it was worst at doing 🤣

That's all I used it for was for text messaging..it's good when u text alot....I am thinking of getting a Blackberry for that same purpose, maybe a 7290.
