Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 i600 is CDMA guys, so it needs US testers! P
Guest Crispy Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 "]i600 is CDMA guys, so it needs US testers! Crap ...
Guest Myke Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Hey ben, I just got off the phone with you. If you read this i forgot to mention that about 95% of the people in the modaco forums are from the UK, so if your looking for US cell phone folks you can try http://www.esato.com/board/
Guest greenmozart Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 I sent you an e-mail, Ben. I am in Rhode Island and would LOVE to help test the phone. I have been waiting for it to be released so I can finally make the jump to Verizon! I am an IT Manager and am getting ready to deploy Exchange 2003. This would be the perfect opportunity to test the mobile Exchange server syncing capability in the smartphone platform.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 Threw my hat in the ring as well! I'm very excited at an opportunity to be rid of T-Mobile GSM for the better reception of CDMA and faster internet with 1xRTT. (Well, at least here in the US). Hopefully the service is with Verizon...but Sprint will do as well.
Guest Myke Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 what is CDMA? i thought the phone companies out here were switching from TDMA to GSM? Whats this CDMA talk. also what is 1xRTT? Faster internet you say? My GPRS is so incredibly slow i already like 1xRTT
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 CDMA i believe is similar to TDMA, however the powers that be in America have decided to include another new standard over there. CDMA covers pretty much everywhere other than Europe and Austrolasia. Oh, and i e-mailed him too. You never know :)
Guest Myke Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 is CDMA better than GSM? CDMA phones wouldnt work in the UK?
Guest nickcornaglia Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 I dont know about better....but it's better here in the US as it is an older, more established network. Today...more towers = better service. CDMA currently wins in that category here in the US. GSM is relatively new over here. It's anyone's guess which standard will win out one day. Apples to Apples...I don't know which I'd choose. CDMA phones do not use SIM cards. They are programmed directly by the operator. So you can't use any unlocked phone you wish. Only those supported by the service. And Verizon, the largest carrier, doesn't have many cool phones. That has been my dilemma for some time now here is the US. CDMA = better reception, crappy phones, less selection, no versatility in switching between phones at will. GSM = so-so reception, better phones, unlimited selection & versatility. Maybe that will all change one day.
Guest Myke Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 oh.. I prefer GSM simply because it supports sim cards. also gsm is new here, so the semi-bad reception will only get better. (and for the record i get reception almost everywhere except the obvious dead spots [canyons, fields in the middle of nowhere, etc..]) if i were on TDMA, i wouldnt have been able to use my smartphone the past 7 months! :P
Guest Antilles_Prime Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 count me in Ben, I just emailed you, I would LOVE to test the i600, and I live in the US, Tennessee to be more specific. PM me, reply to that email, or simply email me at [email protected]. Thanks!
Guest nobznss Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 Count me in as well. I'm in Utah but travel to California quite frequently. This would be a LOT of fun. I've e-mailed you about it.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 :?: Anyone hear from this beta opportunity yet?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 I got a reply saying us Brit's are no good... :)
Guest nickcornaglia Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 That was rude. You guys are okay with me! :)
Guest Gorskar Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Well, seeing as its a CDMA phone, I think any brits applying might be being a tad optimistic...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Whole point of the phone is that it is so much more than "just a phone".... :)
