Cingular:: iphone

[biju]

Biju, do you think you just got a raw deal, or is Cingular really worse than the other guys?

Some blow goats, others just blow... See?, there's a scale (biju's cell provider doodoo scale) and Cingular's on the bottom thus the identification of WHAT they blow.

Stuck in a two year contract, my service, on MY number, would always drop my call after 13 - 15 minutes into the call. Didn't matter where or when. They even had me try (purchase on my dime) three phones trying to fix their proplem with the service I got. No resolution. No customer service. Nobody cared about the business calls I had to endure where midsentence I'd drop off the face of the earth, having to call back every 13 - 15 minutes... sometimes for 2 hours calls! Funny thing is, when I'd call to complain about the issue THE CALL WOULD DROP! Only to call back to start over with my situation...! For two years.

Spoke to supervisors, CRS's, directors, managers, letters to the company..., etc. Nadda. For two years.

No effort, no refunds, no getting out of my contract, no, no, no, no... For two years.

(breathe...).

I was just reading about it on the apple website when you posted. Very interesting! I was considering the Blackjack, but now I just may wait.

I had a chance to demo a T-Mobile Dash a few weeks back ... They were trying to get us to buy them at work. I liked it because it ran the latest windows mobile... AND had WiFi built in. so i could use the browser at any hotspot without incurring data charges. Basically, its a little wider but shorter than the BlackJack, but has about the same functionality. I had to turn it back in a couple of weeks later - demo over

I have been with Cingular as my provider since the Comcast Metrophone & CellularOne days and dont see myself switching. Every other phone ive used for work (nextel, sprint, tmobile) has had horrible dropped calls and just plain weak signals here in the Philadelphia area.

This iPhone does seems l like a cool toy - Too bad I dont like iTunes... and too bad it doesnt have a full keyboard (almost a requirement for me )

Well biju not only does it help me I wish I could have know you to try and help ya there good buddy. Its the site itself that is causing the problem not the phone. Well depends on what technology is in it. But now adays with all providers it isnt the phone but the location and condition of the cell site themselves that or what a certain company allows on it sell site. even more so cable and other equipment blah de blah blah blah. but thats whY i always have land line cant be a good ol fashioned land line But sorry for your mishap I am sure coulda been some way to fix your problem. I tell you what liek I said would be glad try and fix that problem if i can if i cant well @ least i tried

OK now that i got this quote thing down let me try a second one without posting new comment

and too bad it doesnt have a full keyboard (almost a requirement for me)

Ilove Apple, and I love my Nano. I just bought a macbook pro for Xmas. HOT.
it even fits my laptop table.

I admit it is way over priced as laptops go. But hooking it up to your HDTV as an extended HD monitor = pricless.

The New phone with touch screen even allows you to pull up a text screen if you want. This type of tech phone is long overdue. Too cool for words.
an 8gig ipod touchscreen phone e-mail browser only 2 mgpixel camera wireless syncing video playing ...........

My problem is= I like my Nano for music
I like my laptop for computing (and video)
I like my digital camera for taking great easy to download high quality pictures.
And most of all I only want a cell phone for roadside help or long distance.


My most favorite cell phone is Nextels Military spec. i305.
after fumble dropping $450.00 motos that totaly destroy themselfs on impact,
just unclipping them from your belt.
The Nextel I dropped off the 10m platform onto concrete with no scratch!!!!
I also dropped it in the pool and it took me over 5 min. to fish it out.
I let it dry under a lamp for one day and it worked perfectly
To Me, that = high tech.

I wish they made more consumer electronics in a "military spec" version. Sometimes they will make a "sport" version, like my MP3 Player (Rio Cali). It has the rubber bumpers on the sides and is splash resistant. I want a PDA Phone like that.

Gotta side with biju on this one. I have been with Cingular for about 6 months now and have NEVER had this many dropped calls & lousy reception with (believe it or not) Nextel.

Limit to how far I can complain though- it's a business phone
