Is it true that in Cingular and T-Mobile network you also have to pay only to hear a calling/connecting tone (before a call)? And do you still have to pay for incoming call in your home network? That's terrible!

Hello! Anyone of you have any of the Neopets games on your phones? (Coco Roll or Lutari's Island). I asked because this not came to my country and I want they. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, yes.
I'm campaigning against the increasingly screwed-up notion that is DST, and as well as a number of other issues. Vote for me in 2008!

PS: Hello, USA members!

BTW, why do Americans love Motorolas so much
Cingular obviously has higher demand for Motos than 
. Case in point: the relatively ancient SLVR L7 is $100 w/2-year agreement, while the W810 is only $75 with the same contract.

Big welcome to our new American members - Woo Hoo. We could do with some new blood in this part of the forum.
@Hlcn Twst
I have recently noticed a push on quad band
phones in the US. Especially the W810i which is getting good reviews all round. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more quad-band phones appeared this year, specifically for the US.

I wish their higher-end phones were quad-band, e.g. the K790a. (Hey, for the US, that's a pretty "high-end" phone!). But I agree, there are more
quad-band phones now than ever 
Now, they just need to add dual-mode 3G - 850/1900 HSDPA for Cingular + 2100 WCDMA for the rest of the world.

I have not seen a K790a in a store.

And the K810 (K790/K800 successor) is already here, waiting in the wings...
Meanwhile, here's the cheapest I've found the K790a:

what the H**l, this is a camera with a phone, not a phone with camera.
how much it cost in usa??, this phone is 300 US here in RD
Posted by alrodlop35
Nope, that price sounds about right. I got mine for U$419 from Amazon. A carrier picking it up would certainly drop the price to the 100s.

One of the cool things about T-Mobile in the U.S. is they use the 1900 MHz frequency so when SE releases a new phone in the U.K., I can use it here in the U.S. unlike my Cingular-using buddies (850 MHz). My K790i was available months before the K790a that a Cingular user would need. Sure, in a major city you could get away (probably) with the "i" model on Cingular but your signal would suck. Using T-Mobile I got a strong signal everywhere I went. NYC, Washington DC, and out to the boondocks of northern New Jersey plus the Jersey shore.
T-Mobile Rocks. Hard!

Not everywhere you roam, though. T-Mobile has lots of "holes" once you get out West (my workplace being in the middle of one of them). When it's time to roam - which, chances are, will be on Cingular - you'll wish you had 850 MHz on your phone.
Go quad-band or go CDMA.

No CDMA for me. GSM is too convenient with the SIM card. My T-Mobile coverage here on the east coast has been nothing short of inspiring. Well, at least excellent. Inspiring might be taking it a tad too far
Just in case quad-band will make a difference I picked up a brand spankin' new K550i. It's pretty sweet. Considerably smaller but a real nice feel and the smooth lines (no camera hump on the back) are beautiful.

I am a Tmob guy myself.
Posted by knight4led
I was always a Cingular guy being from the West Coast. T Mobile just wasn't that reliable out in my neck of the woods. These days if I didn't live in El Sal I'd still be with Cingular for 3G.
Posted by Residentevil
The Cingular 3G is not really the international 3G, because they run theirs on 1900 & 850. I could explode about that. I hope Tmob jumps on the 3G (2100) bandwagon very soon.
Posted by rambo47
Recent reports suggest T-Mobile is delaying their rollout of 3G and opting instead to upgrade EDGE radically. It's going to rival HSDPA or even exceed it. But true 3G is going to wait years. The EDGE upgrade is going to be from early 2008 through 2009, and beyond that they won't say.
Posted by Residentevil
I disagree with that. Tmobile won a frequency band bid last year and according to the Global Operator UMTS Status, see last page on this report is working on the UMTS and HSDPA rollout this year. I am really looking forward to this one.

I hope you're right and I'm dead wrong. Last thing I read was that the 3G rollout for T-Mobile was being pushed back. No idea why. If they won frequencies in the government auction I'm sure they're eager to put them to work earning revenue and new customers.
Posted by Miss UK
You lot still ranting and raving about Signal strength then
Posted by Residentevil
That would be another question.
Posted by knight4led
whether or not Cingular has true globally compatible 3G is purely semantic, the fact is that they have it now and their phones will still work to some extent in other countries.
I am, however, no longer in the US and just watch these developments for amusement. I look forward to what will be available when I finally return to the US as things seem to be moving in a somewhat positive direction. More carriers are offering 3G or 3G like services, more advanced phones are finally coming to the US and the market seems to be warming to data devices in the post-Treo era.
Posted by REO
@Hlcn Twst
Quad Band is the way to go I agree. I will keep my W810 for a good while.
I'm on Cingular and my friends with other carriers look at my signal bars in amazement of the reception level, ragardless of where we are.
I want my next
phone to have quadband,walkman,3.2 or higher MP cam AF zenon flash, EDGE or 3G, FM Radio.

Rumor has it that T-mo USA will run 3G on 1700mhz...
Oh, hi everybody!!!
Posted by Residentevil
Not another frequency we do not need.
Posted by RichLok
You know how the FCC runs things round here... Here's a lil something from Wikipedia....
In September, 2006, T-Mobile won a bid for large portions of the 3G Spectrum. The 3G network will be based on the UMTS/HSDPA 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands (which unfortunately is incompatible with European 3G frequency bands). T-Mobile grabbed up 120 bids covering 474 million people, which means they have multiple spectra covering the super-urban areas and should be launched sometime in 2007.
Posted by rambo47
I haven't heard of one phone that uses these new frequencies. That certainly could be a reason for delaying the rollout. Maybe SE and others have given them a timeframe for new mobiles that include these frequencies and that time frame is way out there. That would certainly suck.
Posted by alrodlop35
Doesn't the Z750 use that frequency?
Posted by rambo47
After further review, the Z750 does indeed have the 2100 MHz UMTS band. Encouraging!
