sschwar4,
let us know but I bet somebodu at tm will end up telling the same thing that I was told... that t-mobile version of of the firmware does not have the gprs signal. I'm going to europe next week and will use local sim cards there so we'll see if I get the indicator there but I doubt it. Anyways ti does not bother me anymore. |

I think there were lots of problems with the phone I had. I spend half a day on the phone with TM. Never did gprs or t-zones to work. So, I was waiting for them to get back with me and tried a BT call. Static, I have never had static on a BT call. The firmware date was 7/03. Based on what I found, there are 3 newer firmware revisions. I think they did the same thing as the T68i. The newer customer firmware did not work and data setups were erased as soon as you powered down the phone. Not in this case, but something like it. I think I will try to find a 8/03 version.

I found another dealer that had the t610s. This one worked before I even left the store. Tzone and GPRS, just like it should. There is a crackling sound when you use the BT headset, but it is not heard on the other end. A little bothersome, but with all the other features, I can live with it. Reception is much better than the T68i and menus are much quicker. Not much memory though. Great phone so far.

Looks like I'm not the only one with this problem.
I opened this thread in the General Discussion forum and it seems like we have figured out the problem. Now all we need is a solution.
On a side note I would like to add that I can use POP3 on my T610 via T-zones GPRS while I couldn't use it on my T300 before. So it's either the T610 has different GPRS settings that allow POP3 and SMTP or T-zones has changed since the last time I tried to use e-mail on my T300.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! |

T-mobile has changed there T-zones plans to free basic with normal plans and then to $4.99 with POP3 email then to $9.99 with IMAP4 email for Business users. They all are Unlimited usage. Free one is to T-zones site only and others you go any other sites outside of T-zones for WAP. So if you are new depending on what you want to use on T-zones these are your choices. |
