Battery Life
I jsut boght the i770 and setup the phone with Active Sync. I currently have Active Sync setup to download messages as they come in,and switch to manual after 6:00 PM, similar to old Motorola Q phone. My problem is that I can not get a full work day out of the battery. I am very dissapointed.
I spoke to Samsung Tech Support and they said the battery or phone may need replaced. I pushed the tech on the issue and asked about how much time I could get out of the phone if I played music. She said the batery would die within 2 hours. If this is the case, what is the point with the phone?
I am wondering if anyone else any experience with the battery life or if you have any suggestions for how to setup the phone to allow me to stay in...

1 - don't set it to synch as emails arrive, set it to some interval, the synch process drains the battery. Try at least an hour, I set it to 4hrs. It only takes a few seconds for it do send/recieve email on demand if ...

VZW new data plan policy
Any new smart phones released by vzw after 11/14 MUST have the unlimited data package.
If you decide to drop the data package at anytime in the future you will have to get a new device. They will let you keep the old phone but will block its data functions including SMS. (Although SMS is not included in the unltd data package but is regarded as data.)
This new phone has every function I might possibly need. But I dont NEED email and internet 24/7 so the wifi ability would be useful to update the phone when at home. I really object to being required to pay for something I dont need. I know why vzw are doing it, cos if a phone has wifi people wont bother buying the data plan and they'll lose money...

This is called tying and it is illegal. If you are willing to buy the smartphone unsubsidized (if you have to) you shouldn't be forced to buy the data plan to activate the voice service.
Slingbox?
GPS Unlocked
Thanks in advance

Saga In-Store Availability?!
However, its still not in-stores.(At least, it not in the 3 or so stores that I've called) Anyone know when this phone is going to be available in verizon stores?

until I can get rid of my Q9M and get the
Saga.
This phone is what the Q and Q9M, and Q9C wishes it could have been. but never was.
Saga vs.....
My conflict though is that there are not many reviews out yet, and I really wonder how the Saga stands up to the competition that is reported as being picked up by VZW soon.
Seeing as we are only allowed one test device before we are stuck, I want to scope this out as much as possible. What I want to ask, is does anyone have any side-by-side knowledge of how the Saga stands up to the Touch Pro (AKA the VX6850 reported as being picked up on 11-24), Omnia (12-15), Diamond (Jan. 2009), or Treo 800w (no ...

Data plan is like having a v8 Mustang or Camaro
I am as guilty as most, always want the next best toy. I love the Dare and really could use the Omnia or the i770 or the Storm but not right know. Just can't pull the trigger on $100.00 extra amonth.
This is my opinion and ta...

When I get this phone I'm going to melt my Q9M into slag.
I'm going to melt my Q9M into slag.
Just like in terminator 2, when Arnold lowered himself into the molten metal.

I Wondered When This Would Happen
Hopefully, the other carriers will follow suit on this.

With the shutdown of analog, I knew it was just a matter of time before wireless companies would begin exploring other roaming possibilities. If this new phone will roam off of AT&T and T-Mobile, it will be a big win f

VZW+UNICEL?
the existing Unicel GSM equipment at the base stations. One of the articles I found did state that VZW wanted to keep the GSM technology up and running for roaming.
Aren't the two (CDMA and GSM) radios going to interfere
with each other though?

If this is true,(and not a mistake in any documentation), I wonder if the handset is meant for VZW and Unicel customers. I know Verizon Wireless acquired Unicel not too long ago and had planned to add CDMA equipment to

They wouldn't run at the same time. I pretty much guarantee you will have to manually choose CDMA or GSM mode.
