treos are nice

the sidekick is easy as hell to use... i wish it could run palm OS and java... that would be amazing.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 21,2005 6:55pm
I'm sort of leaning towards the treo650 cause I will get to keep sprint PCS which I actually like.



toggletoggle post by Spaldino on a fucking mac... lame at Jul 21,2005 7:48pm
yeah... sprint wasnt too bad... i only went with tmobile because of the 1 year thing.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 21,2005 7:51pm
1 year what thing?
I have a per-month deal



toggletoggle post by Spaldino on a fucking mac... lame at Jul 22,2005 2:29am
a one year contract... it was better than two years. *shrug*



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 22,2005 8:35am
I had a 2-year with sprint a long time ago... I think it was up 2 augusts ago. I would do another 2-year dealy (cause I like my sprint service) to get the treo wicked cheap.

I had sprint PCS up until approx. a year ago. I don't know how it is up in New Hampshire, but here in connecticut, my service with Sprint sucked harder than anything that has ever sucked in the past, or anything that ever will suck in the future. I didn't get service in my bedroom. I would have to go outside.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 22,2005 9:24am
that sucks.
it's solid in NH if you stay on the major roads. the only places I don't really get service are:
my mom's house (in the "dead triangle" between salem,derry,exeter)
my dad's house (1 1/2hr away in the woods)
in the radio station (HUGE cement building)

where the fuck is nate. didn't he get a treo?



toggletoggle post by anonymous at Jul 22,2005 12:35pm
I'm at the store right now.
the keyboard is a lot smaller than the sidekick. I find myself using my finger nails to type, but its pretty easy to use.
now carina's got to find me a deal on this this.



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Jul 22,2005 1:15pm
i already called customer service and then i went to the mall..will find out about deals tonight..



toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 22,2005 1:15pm
could you get me a deal on one of those too? I need a new phone.

you have such soft, lovely hands, you should be a hand model.

so how much did you end up paying for it?



toggletoggle post by nate   at Jul 22,2005 4:58pm
nah man, I got a Blackberry 7290

lol

he didn't buy it

i have to go and haggle for it...but i'm stuck at work for another hour and he just called me and left work already



toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 22,2005 5:08pm
Would you please let me know what kind of price you end up paying for it? I'm in need of a new phone and figure I might as well jump into the excessive phoneage bandwagon.



toggletoggle post by Spaldino on a fucking mac... lame at Jul 22,2005 8:53pm
the backlight on my sidekick died :(

ok well if you want the treo are you getting a new line? like a new activation?




toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 22,2005 9:09pm
I'd want to keep my verizon service.



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Jul 22,2005 9:12pm
how long have you had yer phone?
is yer contract up?



toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 22,2005 9:15pm
no, I got a long time left on my contract.



toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 23,2005 3:39am
find anything about it?



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Jul 23,2005 3:58am
see the thing is that if your original contract is not up and if yer current phone is not defective...there's not much you can do..because even if you threaten to cancel yer line, they'll tell you that you have to pay early cancelation fees...aaron has had his phone over 2 yrs and he's not under a contract..i have to follow up tomorrow to see about the price...also, this phone (treo) is available with sprint service..i don't know what phones verizon has...

sorry dude

It's available for Verizon. I'm gonna go get some info about it tomorrow, I'm planning on buying a new phone soon anyway.

I'd have to pay $519, I can't really afford that. oh well.



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Jul 23,2005 4:08am
if you have had your current phone for 18 months you're probably eligible for rebates too

you didn't say how long ago you got yer phone or when yer contract is up...i'd say hold off for a free or discounted one



toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 23,2005 4:09am
I don't remember exactly when i got it, and since I added two other lines to my plan for my family a few months ago, I think that renewed/restarted the contracts. Damn this shit can get confusing.



toggletoggle post by davefromthegrave  at Jul 23,2005 4:13am
thanks for your help btw

naww i think you can get out of yer original contract then...definitely go to the stores and check them out,,but unless yer getting a new phone, the store won't really help..pick yer phone and then call customer service and see what they can do for a good customer...

today, I played with the samsung i730...
it's awesome

but it's only verizon.

well, the service here at the store sucks a big fat dick. we have been waiting here for ever. it seems like you can't just take the phone and buy it. you have to meet with an associate. I told them that was dumb, but they didn't care.

note to self: never go to a sprint store



toggletoggle post by KeithMutiny  at Jul 24,2005 1:19pm
fuck sprint, they suck

And we have an incompetant moron serving us...I'm pissed....and will be giving him a hard time in 2 minutes...

what are you using to post?



toggletoggle post by the rev mobile at Jul 24,2005 2:52pm
ok, carina kept getting more and more off my bill.
in the end the phone was pricey, but she got something like $150 off the phone and $150 off my bill. that is after getting $87 off last month.
go carina

what is SSH?



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 27,2005 3:15pm
basically, I can log into RTTP and edit code from anywhere.
so if I fuck something up I can fix it.
OH!!! carina, that's what I wanted that full keyboard for... so I can edit code with a full keyboard while anywhere!

I also need to write some software like this:
