Sony Ericsson S710a

I was just looking on amazon cause i know you can get the s710 there for much cheaper after there offered rebates and whatnot but like most people i dont want to change my phone number. Amazon does offer to port numbers for other carriers but not Cingular. Has anyone heard of when they may start porting Cingular numbers or if its ever possible that it will happen??

Based on intel gathered here and HOFO, I migrated to Cingular on 2/9, two days before the rates changed. I debated getting Media Works w/ Unlimited data before it went away, but like an idiot, I got the Media Basic for $7.99 and 1MB. My qestion is, because I signed the contract on 2/9, before the rate change, can I upgrade to the old Media Works for $19.99 and unlimited data? I know the answer to this, but I'm hopeful.

Should i wait for my stores to get one (remember i live in valdosta backwoods GA) or call tellesales first thing monday morning? 😕

Does anyone know of any stores in New England that have this phone? I saw one post that mentioned CT, but I was hoping for something a little closer to NH.

Thanks!

I have 2 at my store as we speak and no one actually asking for them... 😲

opps... they are dummy phones haha!!! 😉

I want my prize now!!! 👿

is awesome!!!
as is everything else 😁

I just picked up my S710a from my local Cingular store. I was previously Blue and was using my V600 to connect to the internet via GPRS through my laptop. Now that I have my S710a I'm trying to find information on getting my laptop to connect through the EDGE (or GPRS) network through the new phone. Does anyone have any idea where to find this information?

like I'm a 6 year old. On Cingular's website, there's a lot of info on AOL IM, specifically that it counts against your text messages. Now, on the S710a, it uses Media Net to connect. It's actually a pretty cool setup, very easy to use, but it uses data, 6K just to sign on. Is this a new scheme, specific to the S710a, and it's just not on the website yet? What exactly am I being charged for when I use AOL IM? I look at my message counter, and it hasn't incremented due to using IM. Please, someone explain this. Thanks

Since I can't complain about not knowing when the phone will be released...

Now I must complain about not knowing when the people who run the TrainGainSE contest will actually DELIVER the award phones to the winners!

See - we DO still have stuff to collectively whine about!

😡

I am getting SO frickin' impatient!!!! Its worse since now I have photos of my fellow phonescoopers with theirs.... AND I have my very own s710a dummy phone to play with at work (and drool over).

Life is tough....

When will the s710a go on sale through cingular's website?

I just called them and she said "hopefully anywhere from 30 to 90 days" I just hope that my store ends up getting them, cause i get a corporate discount, and have to buy it at a store to make that work.

If anyone has experimented with this phone can you inform us of the video performance. Is it choppy and pixelated like that of the v551 and Z500a or is it of a decent frame rate and resolution?
Any ideas on how MobiTV might perform on this phone with Edge and it's video capabilities?

Any information would be appreciated. thank you

Here are some pictures as promised, the other 2 phones are an SE T637 and Moto V180. Let me know if I can answer any questions. The manual says it does not support Duo Pro or Magic Gate.

Drinking! 🤣

Gotta good buzz, nice!@ haha So yeah. where the fucvk is this stoooooooooopid phjpone?@ GOSH!

Anyone have any info regarding the s710 release and the Chicago area. I've called some local cingular stores and they're ignorant to its release.

I put them up on this webpage for all of you non-believers!

Enjoy!

THANKS REID42! 😁

The corporate store in Columbia, MD has two in stock. $570 - 30% = $400 no contract. So the business discount does apply, cant type fast enough, leaving now.

You can drop her off anywhere! 🤣

Effective Monday, February 21, 2005, Cingular Wireless DMDR – Virtual Sales will launch the Sony Ericsson S710 850/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGRE multimedia handset.

I hope they aren't pulling our legs.

Guys,

My brother works for a Cingular headquarters and he gets the 30% off phones from the cingular stores. If I buy the phone w/no contract for $385 and for any reason I'd liek to return it, will they give my money back? Is there a return policy for discounted phones? If anyone know the return policy for this situation, drop a post k.
Thanx, peace 😉
