Samsung Conquer 4G

This is a good idea, at least in principle, but it's a matter of detail & execution as to whether it will be actually useful to seniors.

Hopefully Sprint also incorporated things like:

(1) Large font, vastly simplified interface design (i.e. the number, size & legibility of icons & text on each screen),

(2) Rubbery, grippy cases (the iPhone could never be a serious phone for seniors, because of the ridiculously stupid slick-backed case Jobs insisted on).

(3) A convenient way to carry their phones on a lanyard the seniors can hang around their necks if they wish (phone is less likely to get lost/misplaced, it's closer to their ears so they will actually hear the phone ring/beep, they can get to it quickly so they can answer it bef...

My grandfather couldn't even begin to know what a smartphone is, let alone use one. Give him a flip phone, however, even a slide-out with a keyboard, and hes good to go. Does sprint really think that seniors want to use any of those Smartphones they named support this ?

The Nexus has superior specs, and guaranteed update support from Google. The only advantage is it has a memory card slot.

Samsung's low-end phones are never worth the headache. You'll never get software updates and the phone will have weird bugs that never get resolved.

4G Transform...

It looks like the next generation Transform to me, hopefully it won't be the same build quality as the Transform, cause honestly Samsung usually makes a good quality phone, but the Transform was piece of junk. Also Sprint ID sucks, almost every Sprint customer I see just disables the ID after just randomly picking one out at activation.

I wonder when it will be able to utilize the 800? Where I live it is roaming for Sprint but I would have iDen coverage. So I am kind of anxious to know when this rolls out.

Last time I checked, EMSR was not Compatable with other Carriers' CDMA networks, so if that phone supports EMSR 800, 850, and 1900, or whatever it says, would that not technically make that a Sprint-Only phone, since they are the only carrier to support that Radio frequency technology?

Samsung took down the website. Someone must have jumped the gun.
