CTIA 2008
Nokia N810
Hey did anyone get a chance to view this phone at CTIA? Xohm, what was it like? any information would be great
Instinct UI Question
So the "home" screen on the m800 Instinct is just the menu, like the iPhone? So the user CANNOT apply any sort of wall paper, let alone change the color of the UI itself.
I'm really wondering why Sprint was so afraid to include the Samsung TouchWIZ UI that just launched in Korea. Now that would have been really innovative compared to this bug-ridden build from the ground up (WHY??) fisher-price looking user interface.
It is my opinion that they should have let Samsung design the UI themselves, not outsource it to a 3rd party company. BAD idea.

The problem is that Sprint has all kinds of apps and services that they need on the menu. Any time Sprint has tried to apply their requirements to a manufacturer-designed menu, (which would be all of their non-entry-level phones in the past few years,...

one of the best phones to be available in the market.
HAHA TAKE THAT STEVE JOBS & ATT WIRELESS
Let me start off by saying I'm proud of Sprint and Samsung for coming up with the Instinct. This phone seems very profitable. Competition is what made America great at one time. IF YOU BUY AN UNLOCKED iPHONE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO W/E HELL YOU WANT WITH IT AND IT SHOULDN'T BE RELOCKED. OTHERWISE DON'T CHARGE PEOPLE SUCH A HIGH PRICE FOR THESE WORTHLESS SOON TO BE OUTDATED DEVICE.
Before you know it walmart will be peddling Apple's iphone on shelves for $75 due to the fact so many better devices came out because people didn't want to wait for an unlocked iphone or the price to go down and the iphone has become yesterday's news. I hope the Samsung instinct is a big success that allows people way more freedom to tinker with it then Apple doe...

No. They were showing off the Xperia X1, but that's not really new.
They still haven't launched the Z750 that they announced at last year's CTIA, so they didn't really have much credibility to launch new models for the US.

Samsung Glyde
Was the Samsung Glyde available at all? I'm curious to see what that phone will look like. If it is, could you post a video of it?
It was not on display. If it were, believe me, we would have covered it! 😳
Samsung Soul
Samsung brought the new Soul (U900) to the show and they claim it is a GSM QUAD band (vs the tri band they brought to BWC 200😎. I am hearing that it will not be available in the U.S. anyway. Has anyone out there herd anything about this phone coming to the U.S. or if it can be purchased as an unlocked QUAD band?
That's pretty much what we were told... They did say that it has been upgraded at the last minute to be quad-band, but not to hold our breath for an official US release. I'm sure it will be available unlocked online, though.

Joby Zivio???
Anyone have any updated info on availability of the Joby Zivio bluetooth headset?
(their website for ref: http://www.joby.com/products/zivio/ )
It seemed to make a splash when announced a few months ago, but I can't find any news of it from CTIA. Zivio was supposed to be available this spring (according to the company), but still nothing but dead air out there in the marketplace and in the media.
Anyone have any current info on the Zivio?

Windows Mobile 6.1
Does anyone know if they will when they will start adding phones to the list of devices that can be upgraded"
I used to have a Shadow and now I have a Dash and I am dying to get that UI back from the Shadow without actually owning another one. Thanks

It's pretty much up to the carriers.

Maybe they are just going to become a brand name as opposed to all of those ridiculous stores selling 3000 dollar massage chairs, lol.
Kinda like when sega stopped seling gaming machines, but they still make games under the sega brand name.

Again T-Mobile fails to deliver
Everything seems to be AT&T, Sprint, Verizon. Nothing ground breaking for T-Mobile. Really sad. What is wrong with them as a company? Are they scared to show and talk about new devices?
Their focus has always been on affordable voice service for consumers. They leave the really high-end and enterprise stuff the other guys on purpose.
...
They're a foreign company that rely on over seas calls and haven't change in years. They now just follow AT&T on their technology in the US.

T-Mobile is too busy worrying about Engadget using its trademarked magenta color on its web site. 🤣
I agree it seems Tmo is always behind the curve of new Tech phones! I know it is becasue there 3G network is not ready. I stay with them for 2 reasons! 1) There customer service is great! In person or on the phone. I have a Sprint line and it is ...

Hey Rich... LG Phones
Rich, did LG bring any slim sliders (other than the Glimmer) that rival the LG KF510 that was unvailed at MWC 2008. Seems like Europe gets the cool phons and we get the cheep plastic phones. A KF510 would be killer in the US! 😎
We covered all of the new LGs. The Vu and Glimmer were the slick ones. No, no new sliders you haven't heard of.
...
AT&T already does...

Granted it is one way only for video, but I hear it's pretty cool.

Probably never. Who really wants it? Sure it's nifty, but is it actually useful to anyone? I don't care to see the people I'm talking to, nor do I care for them to see me.

Where is the video?
Be sure to check out our video that shows a live demo comparing CDMA-iDEN with CDMA-CDMA and iDEN-iD 😕
Ah... that's what happens when you write this stuff at 3am after a long, exhausting day. 🤠The video is shot... we'll post it tonight. Sorry!

VZW's enV2
...looks pretty ugly on the outside. The extra-huge keypad is a real turnoff, it looks like it's made for the elderly.
I kind of like it...
I'll wait to see it in person tho, because I'm concerned it's still a little on the big side. I wish they would put a hold switch on it, too. I can't stand candybar soft keypad locks.

In the samsung instinct video. When the lady said "photo's, shopping" I thought I heard "photoshop" i had to back it up and listen again. lol
