Motorola V360 / V361
361 to Cingular ?
In a recent meeting with the big three, Motorola stated that the 361 will be released to Cingular later in the year. I wonder if this will be the same phone only in the 850.

Observations.
The design of the phones is pretty boring and so is the color. But it is feature packed unlike other phones, only thing it lacks is a megapixel camera but oh well.

oooo, expansion slot, read on for my suspicion
😁 😁 😁
Maybe, just maybe, this phone will have itunes on it.
thought bubble:
(hoping and praying for this to be an itunes compatible phone because the rokr is crap and this phone will be better)
😁 😁 😁
i do think though that it has the ability to become itunes compatible if its not already because of the tf/microsd slot. your choices are:
1. wishful thinking
2. possible firmware upgrade for cingular
3. i'm just being stupid again
4. this will be for cingular and t-mo because it has ptt and a tf slot, so it could be a 2nd itunes phone and cingular is rolling out ptt soon.

Lighter because cheapie plastic shell?
This V360 is said to be lighter than the V330 (which is the same as the V551). This leads me to ask WHY it is lighter, if it is pretty much the same phone PLUS some. And my only answer is: Because it is made out of cheap lightweight plastic.
Someone please inform me otherwise! 😕

CCD Camera Phones
Were there any camera phones that use a CCD sensor rather than a CMOS?
All the megapixels in the world done mean a thing if the lens and the sensor are not high quality.
If you compare the MPX220 1.3 mp CMOS camera to the SE S710A 1.3 mp CCD camera there is no comparison.
Aside from the s710a are any other manufacturers planing on putting together a phone with a CCD camera to compete with the s710a?
The reason I ask is that I like all the features on the Sony-ericsson, but I do not like their interface. I may stand alone on this fact but I prefer the motorola interface, especially when it comes to their predictive text input and various menu navigation.
I am trying out the s710a for a few days and I have decided they...

I think what is missing
That should have been reported were the small upstart companies.
I talked to some of the manufacturer reps and more than a few of them were impressed with the design and build qualities of some of the smaller Chinese and Korean venture groups.
One group that was really impressive at the show was NewGen with their really cool designs.
Under an inform discussion in the eating area, some of the these product managers feel that in the next 10 years, some of them (like Hop On, Bird, New Gen, Telson) maybe in the top 10 market and some of the older stalwarts in the world markets (like Alcatel, Philips, Siemens and Mitsubishi) may pull out as phones becomes total commodity items.

About "Cingular" on the F7200 screen...
Like I mentioned for reasons stated in the new Part 2, I complied with LG's request and covered up the carrier logo on the F7200 keypad.
I'm sure some of you also noticed that it said "Cingular" on the display, and I did not cover that up...
That was intentional. It was not an oversight, and is not any kind of "cheating" with LG's request.
The deal is... what a GSM phone says on the screen is not necessarily the carrier that brands and sells that phone. Depending on how the phone and/or SIM chip are configured, the name on the screen is usually that of the carrier that sold the SIM, or the current network the phone may be roaming on.
So the fact that it says "Cingular" on the screen means very little and doesn't necessarily gives...

Lack of Quad-Band GSM phones
I am always amazed that more carriers don't spend the extra money and make their GSM phones Quad-Band (850/900/1800/1900) instead of coming out with one or even two tri-band versions of the same phone.
I realize that very few people actually seek out quad-band phones, but if you're making the phone capable for three frequencies, why not four?
Perhaps the rest of the manufacturers know something that Motorola will not admit - that squeezing 4 radios in these compact phones affects RF performance.
Anyway I will continue to only purchase quad-band, as the last thing I want to do is get stuck wishing I had GSM 900 in Gabon or GSM 1800 in Trinidad. And you pretty much need 850/1900 here in the states. Oh well.
