OK I'll post this ...
Here are some links to what I think either the True Video iPod will be like & a possibility of what I expect (functionality that is) of what the iPhone should be like.
- first off iPhone is a ridiculous name, period.

Sorry, no pics of my four SE W810i's.....they're in the mail . New service, Cingular, deserves new phones for the family. We've been operating with old Samsungs etc. for a while. Been checking out this thread and others and was convinced that the SE W810i was Mac friendly and Cingular just came out with a deal where the cost after rebates was $99. So, I jumped. Thanks to all for their reviews and pics of your phones (BTW, the 02 Atom looked great!).
Although this may not be the correct forum for this I have a question. I'd like to protect my new SE. What's everyone using? I've checked eBay and there are some crystal clear plastic (hard) that cover both front and back that look promissing. However, here's a leather pouch that has a clip or belt loops that looks pretty good: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300035342204&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:12
It's about $10 with shipping. Looks good. Your thoughts. Cheers

Well I was able to compare the KRZR and Chocolate in person yesterday and I'm undecided. They seem to be about the same feature wise, is there anything one has that the other doesn't? Which should I get, or should I wait for the iPhone?
I got fed up with the size of my old phones (smartphones like the treo 700, and blackberry 8703e) so I sold them and was in the market for a new phone. I was in your same predicament. I knew I wanted one of Verizon's high end phones but I didn't know which one. It was between the Krzr, the Chocolate, and the Samsung SCH-a990. I ultimately chose the krzr for a number of reasons. First and foremost was design. The is hands down the best looking phone- ever made. With metal, and quartz as the two main materials used, this phone is not only beautiful but is also durable. Second, and finally, I chose this phone because frankly, it offers everything the Chocolate has in a package that is hands down- MUCH better looking.buffalo said:

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just reading PC Magazine's review of the KRZR and found that the reception isn't as good as the RAZR's. How is the reception and voice quality?
[EDIT] Is there any compatibility with a Mac?
Honestly, I think PC Mag is just about as incompetent as cNet. Idiots. At any rate, the voice quality is very good (VERY good) and I do not see reception to be any different then that of my previous phones (v3m included)buffalo said:

Thanks for the help you've provided. I was going to go to the Verizon Store tonight to get the phone, but my mom wants me to wait for my birthday at the end of November. Are there any other cool phones coming out soon?
My FAVORITE phone of all time out now is the Motorola V3X. Maybe by late November/Early Dec. they'll have a CDMA version. All in all though, the krzr is number one.buffalo said:
Is that a joke? Motorola designed the Razr from the ground up and everyone copied them! Now they make a mini version of it and you're trying to say they copied someone? Do you not see that the Krzr is a mini version of Motorola's flagship clamshell- which at launch was totally unique?Sutekidane said:

Although the GSM one does have 2.0MP...or does the vzw one have that?
But I like the blue better.

VZW is 1.3 MP, however, they do have streaming TV
. I'm a photography nut so I don't really care what type of camera is on my phone. i'm a fan of the light black. the blue is a little feminineappleintelrock said:VZW is 1.3 MP, however, they do have streaming TV
I don't really care about streaming TV until T-Mobile starts their UMTS network, which they apparently already have built half of new york's. Although I care about my camera. I like to make my own wallpaper.
The black is fine, and I like the blue, too. I'm in the middle. At least it's not pink.
Moto's phone camera's are ALL crap in ANY setting compared to SE's 2.0MP with Auto Focus & LED & zoom.
> if you're a photo nut even 2.0MP will not be enough. you need a solution like SE's PURE OLED LED on the K790/800's + 3.2MP. Especially if you want quality photos.
> Moto did come out with the KRZR as a slim design of the RAZR; but in my opinion anyone buying it now is a fool. Paying top dollar WITHOUT any improvement over the standard, still no LED is just foolish. You need to think hard about purchasing it. In less than 6 months when Moto puts all the sales of the KRZR to an actual V series improvement next summer you'd be had.
> I think the Slider KRZR whatever its called is the best of the solutions. It has 2.0MP camera WITH LED flash. Either way these are just my opinions with my cellular phone experience.
PS. I should apply for the Marketing Lead position for the Apple iPhone. hmm.

I'm not that into pictures on my phone. My A670 with VGA and an atrocious blue flash is what I'm using now; I think that says a lot about how much I care about the camera I have in my phone.
And I'm not buying a KRZR......yet. Although I'm hoping Santa comes through with a SK3, even though I've heard that camera isn't that good. But I'm probably not getting a new phone until this spring, and I doubt my parents would pay for a SK, and I know what you're thinking, "The SK3 is sub-par" well I don't care. It's better than what I have now, and if I can manage to get one, then I'll get it, but I probably won't, but there's still hope.
Prom1 said:
haha when I said I was a photo nut i meant that NO cell phone camera made me happy. even at 3mp, cell phones cameras are crap.
. thus me not caring wether i have a vga camera, or a 3mp camera. i'll use the photos for wallpaper and thats it.

The V3X will never be CDMA. The only way you can get it is GSM unlocked. Plus, its to old already, it will just be replaced by the MAXX
@iMacZealot, The SK3 is what my friends & I that used to work for Tmobile would call "The Ghetto BlackBerry". Its basically what it is. The support for very cool ringtones is what really keeps it going. If you want something more powerful, then I would suggest going for the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. But this coming Spring we'll all see much better phones. I advise towards ANY BB model over any SK. Why? Because its the ONLY phone that you can either UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE the firmware yourself WITHOUT voiding your warranty as its FULLY supported by RIM. Even PocketPCs like the HTC S620 cannot be downgraded after a firmware upgrade!

Here is a picture from the 1.8yr old K750i (same camera as in my W810)

I really want that 5MP HP Camera, but SE/NOKIA/SAMSUNG/ETC (take you pic; pun intended) also makes a cellular phone with Canon (extensible lens just 3 types) for within $100 more. And I need a new camera. Hmm.

@Prom1, why do you put @'s before everyon's names? And for God's sake, you worked for T-Mobile two years ago, meaning you were playing with the SKII, which my friend, is much different to the SK3. And as I've already told you about eleven times, the SK3 is fine for me. And I don't care about firmware, or whatever. I'm not trying to modify my phone to (insert ridiculous task here), or why would I want to downgrade my phone anyway?
