The whole thing is just marketing speak, with each device is given a "lable" in an attempt to give each product a "USP" or "niche" to distinguish it from its competitors or to appeal to a particular customer sector
"Cellular Phones" are called "Mobile phones" in the UK, so who is correct? you pay your money and take your choice!
PDA, Smart & Pocket PC Phones are all exactly the same thing! some will have a touch screen interface and some will have a key interface and some will have a key and keyboard interface.
You could even start to classify mobile phones with built in storage capacity and optimized for music playback as "Music Phones" but what do you then classify the W960 as? it is all of the above!
The one thing we can be certain of is that they ALL share one common theme, in so much as they are all small computers combined with GSM and other telephony and data communications circuitry.
I prefer to refer to all such items as a "Device" but then I am not a marketing person! 
Perhaps a better description would be " A Pocket Sized Personal Voice & Data Communication, Organizing, Entertainment and Direction Finding Device"

Vodafone had a release date of the 17th October, but I have "just" been told by them that this date has slipped out til Friday 24th October.
I qualify for a free upgrade too. Happy days  . Only reporting to have it in black though... hmmmm, I think I prefer silver, thoughts any black or silver owners?
Thanks,
Chris

I'm that close to cancelling my contract with Carphone Warehouse. They have stock, they don't, they have stock they don't. No one knows jack-s**t in that company, and O2 aren't any better. In fact they don't even have it on their Coming Soon page, despite having other handsets for November release.
Damn Vodafone for branding their phones, if they didn't at least there is some network operator with an actual release date. |

What's the cheapest people have found the handset Sim Free? I thought it was Play.com with £499, however Sony Ericsson now have it available for pre-order for £480.00 - not a lot of difference, but as they say, ever penny counts! lol |

to be honest i think the o2 have the right idea... not giving a release date for something knowbody knows when will be released.

I'm not too annoyed that the release date keeps slipping, it's more the fact that companies seem to give different information depending on what employee you speak to. I just called O2 a minute ago and was told that they will be having stock in available to sell from tomorrow. We all know that's not going to happen, but it's just a shame that companies can't be more like Vodafone. I know their release date keeps slipping, but at least they seem to give you a release date thats the same regardless of who you speak to.
Oh well, it comes when it comes I suppose!  |

Can someone help me translate the Youtube desktop version installment into easier language for someone who's pretty new at all this?
I don't understand, there's 2links in the first thread. And do I surf into this site through my phone and click the links, or?
Help me please...

Soo........is it officially out yet? or not so much? Anyone have one they've BOUGHT and playing with it yet? While ___Boy and others have their reviews, I'm waiting to see USER reviews before I decide whether or not to buy this thing.
SE phones are great, but I'm still fuming about the P990 I bought. So I'm playing this one cautiously. That being said. I'm looking to buy a new phone SOON.

Same here. Basically, it is a wonderful device based on the initial reviews, minor issues here and there but nothing major.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |
