Motorola Continues Handset Onslaught

if it would include BT, it would be perfect for me. don't need the cameras or color screens. i'm so old school, i still miss my ericsson t39. if i could have it re-freq'd to 850, i'd love it. wish this one would come with BT!!

i know it's entry-level, but if you don't put it in, you can't upgrade. wish they would put BT in...be just about perfect phone for me to use at work.

Just like i said on my previous thread on the topic below this one in the main news page...


have companies have given up on naming their phones? I mean...talk about like giving up. FONE?

And I do agree that although the "thin" era is in and thats what is selling, i think its about time we (or someone) try to figure out the next big craze and capitalize on it.

The Motorola FATARSE. "Forgot those ultra thin phones, this thing is the size of a Buick and u need a special permit to even own one! Be the envy of all your friends when they see you carry this bad boy around. It's Analog for your convience and also has top of the line features!!!"

--VOICE MAIL
--FLASH LIGHT
--BLENDER
--EMERGENCY SHELTER
--DEFIBULATOR

and so much ...

🤣 When I saw yet another Motorola thin style phone coming out, I had to laugh. How many of these things are coming out? Calm down Motorola. We all know you love to make these thin phones but please, give it a rest. I'm now waiting to see what's next. "Motorola announces new phone code named 'THIN' ". 🤣

😎

Is their new marketing phylosophy (sp?) to see howmany different things they can cram the razor idea into? Its the same damn phones over and over again, and I'll bet my bottom dollar that they will have bigs in them, just like all other Motos.

The store sprint rep. told me last week that motorola was making a new razor type phone that will be a candy bar style for sprint. He did not know a release date for it though, I was just wondering if one of these may be the one because there is a CDMA verson in this group.

does the FONE have a camera? if it does, im sold. i dont even want a super high end phone. if it has a camera and looks cool, i want it. the display technology seems cool. as for the new UI, seems cool but w/ Verizon, it'll probably have their POS UI.

1 thing tho... FONE?!!? what kind of name is THAT!?!?!?!

While the newly announced Motorola phones look exciting, Motorola is still missing a key component for me to take their offerings seriously.

I'm primarily a business user and must have a reliable solution to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar with my phone, preferably using Bluetooth.

When Motorola dumped TrueSync and went with Mobile Phone Tools (Avanquest nee BVRP), they made a huge mistake in judgement. TrueSync worked reliably while MPT may be the worst software package ever written.

I've tried MPT several times over the years, including recently with a V3c, and have experienced corrupted Outlook databases, intermittent syncing, trashed contact records, sync failures, and all other sorts of maladies. If you have the stomach f...

The FONE is the first handset from the next generation SCPL platform, am I correct, Rich?

😉 What can I say, I cheer for the underdogs, I embrace the rejected, I defend the criticized.

So im really glad to hear some new iDen news. What with the new dual mode ic502 phone coming soon, and the company announcing plans to add WiFi, WiMax, and DVB-H technology to select phones in its iDEN lineup. This should prove an interesting end of the year for NEXTEL... Excuse me SPRING TOGETHER WITH NEXTEL


P.S. Hey Rich, you got any pics of this ic502?

Question:

Does anyone know when the SprintNextel ic902, and the iDen i880/i885 be available for purchase??
