Kyocera Jet turns off?
I bought a Kyocera Jet for ampd, and love it, except it seems to just turn off for no reason, and won't turn back on until it's plugged in. Apparently it happens if I press all the buttons on the front face simultaneously (which I guess happens a lot when it's in my pocket) I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this and how can I fix it?
my randomly turns off too. mine restarts automatically though, but it's kind of annoying. and mine doesn't even have to have all the buttons pressed. i close my phone after sending a txt or something, and it restarts for no reason.

Speakerphone
Does anyone know how the speakerphone is on this phone? I have a nokia 6620 and the speakerphone sucks a$$ on that phone, completely useless.

Jet or Remix
Well Remix is suppost to come out pretty soon and i was wondering what you guys think is better.
Kyocera Jet or Slider Remix?
Thnx! 😁
Definitely the kyocera Jet, simple because it has a better look, and because it adds Push to Talk, and Evdo.

video ?
i heard that you can record 15 second video's to the phone
but you can also change the settings to record to the memory stick and you can record up to three minutes.
is that true?

Another Wonderful Review
"The Jet is the first phone available from Amp'd Mobile, so it is all very new. As can be expected, there are some glitches. For example, out of the box the Amp'd Live feature (Amp'd's live/streaming media portal) does not work. Tech support is very friendly and assures me this will be fixed but at this point I cannot try out all the phone's features.
The hardware itself looks very stylish. The case is plastic which feels a little cheaper than my previous phone but it seems to be sturdy and it is all put together well. The pieces are well-machined, the buttons respond well, and the styling is consistent and attractive. My only reservation is that the slide seems a little awkward, but this does not interfere with the operation of the phone...

NO..VERIZON IS TOO SMART TO CARRY THIS POS. CHECK THE BUBBLE PACKS AT YOUR LOCAL SWAP MEET 🤣

Amp'd Mobile
This phone will be released for a new MVNO-Amp'd Mobile.
-Amp'd will offer BOTH prepaid & postpaid accounts.
-Data packages WILL be available.
Do not have the link, but a rep w/ Amp'd mobile described that the plans will be similar to your cable company...eg you have basic cable for a set price (think of this as your minutes) and then you add on subscriptions to premium channels (think of this as data packages, text, etc)
Hope this is helpful.
Can't wait for the Launch!!

One Question
Around wat month does this phone come out and how much? 😁
Thanks
Amp'd originally announced Q3 as their planned launch timeframe.
They planned to have a lineup starting at about $100 for the cheapest model. I'm not sure if the Jet is that model or not - it could be the entry- or the mid-level model, but I'm pret...

Amp'd shares verizon network correct?
Is this correct? Can verizon customers use this phone or any Amp'd for for that matter?
Probably not. Amp'd is an MVNO. They do use Verizon's network, but everything they offer to consumers is 100% separate from Verizon.
It's perfectly possible - and in fact quite likely - that Amp'd will lock their phones like Sprint does. It's just ...

No vibrate feature?
how can students carry a phone to school slickly if theres no vibrate feature?
click on missing features on the 'specs' page for this phone and it will say
Vibrate -
meaning..no..please tell me im wrong
I think that was a mistake. It's been corrected.

Is Amp'd going to be a pre-paid service???
What type of services will they offer? I read EVDO and all of that but will they offer actual data plans or just cater to the youth market with flashing streaming videos and ringers and such?
Amp'd is going to be a pre-paid MVNO service geared toward teens. They are using Verizon's EVDO network to provide teens and the like with video, music. etc. Most likely, no data plans.
They said in March they plan to offer both pre- and post-paid plans.

Kyo Jet w/ Verizon
I've heard VZ has no plans of bringing back the slider, but what are the chances of putting the Kyo Jet of the VZ network? Any thoughts...
Hopefully they will. The original slider did have some people interested, but the phone itself was rather basic - the style was the only thing going for it, and when you are in a world of cameraphones without a camera, well....
The new one should...

That sounds like a sweet combonation of phone and service. I can't wait to see what else Amp'd launches.
