SBR Can You Post With A Treo??

SBR_John · 08-26-05, 06:33 PM

Man I cant even send a text message with mine yet. I can see the web site but I cant figure how to log in. I'm gonna figure it out one of these days. All I know is the dam thing makes a great paper weight.

I hear it is good

How is the phone on it??

SBR_John · 08-26-05, 06:43 PM

Now the phone part I got down pat. I dont like that little thing, the pencil thing I think some homo made up a name like Stylus or something. But the 650 I can use my fingers and the screen is a touch screen. You still need that gay azz pencil once in a while but not too often.

I was thinking of getting one as it is all in one shopping

Might go with Sprint service as the unlimited data pla looks cheaper than the others

I'm going to buy one this weekrnd. They sound cool.

onlooker · 08-26-05, 08:53 PM

You can use them as wireless modems too. Go check out PDAnet.

onlooker, isn't that a transformers symbol...now that was a sweet cartoon, and sweet toys too...

I think service with Sprint for phone and internet is around $55 a month

Not bad for all in one and they seem to fight in a front pocket pretty nice

SBR_John · 08-28-05, 08:39 AM

I need to go to 650 school. I'm just barely past figuring out how to turn it on. I guess I need to dedicate a day and read senor manual.

jjgold · 08-28-05, 04:09 PM

Price is pretty hefty at $499

SBR_John · 08-28-05, 05:32 PM

Well i did not pay that. If you get it with a 1 yr contract I think they give it to you for a buck and a half. But its not a cheap.

jjgold · 08-28-05, 05:36 PM

Where SBR?

SBR_John · 08-28-05, 05:38 PM

I got Verizon because of their international service. The inet is $39 unlimited and then the phone is the ole pick your poision I think I got $99 for 2500 minutes.

jjgold · 08-28-05, 05:44 PM

I will check out

Thanks Pal

Illusion · 08-29-05, 03:39 PM

They retail at Cingular for $549, but they always have mail in rebates for these type phones. You should expect to pay anywhere from $399 to $499 depending on the rebate.

jjgold · 08-29-05, 04:04 PM

I hear some complaints that they are a little heavy though

Illusion · 08-29-05, 04:53 PM

6 oz if I remember correctly. That's not all that bad.

jjgold · 08-29-05, 05:07 PM

I guess it fits in a front pocket prett comfortable too

I do not know if should get the treo or just a regular cell phone

Yes it is. I think a new movie is coming out in 07.

If you guys use ebay, check there for a 600 or 650.

You can save some cash on a 600, I think the only thing that a 650 has different is bluetooth and a little faster chip, but sure on how much faster. I also heard that the 600 is better for use as a phone. Ive had my 600 for 3 years and I will never go back to a regular cell phone. Im eyeing a Samsung smartphone, but the one I want is thru Verizon, but Im not paying for their over priced service.

My plan thru sprint is 80 bucks a month, for 2000 anytime minutes, unlimited PCS to PCS , unlimited vision (internet), free add a phone, and nights start at 8pm.

I will just wait to that samsung smartphone comes to SprintPCS.

jjgold · 08-29-05, 09:10 PM

Looker how is web, is it farely fast??

Is it bulky in your pocket or just a little bigger than regular cell??

What is a free phone??

Yes Sprint has best web plan

Thanks

Web seems faster then dial up, when I connect to the web thru PDAnet on my computer, I got like 90k at broadbandreports.com on their speed test.

Its alittle bulky (those flip phones are small), but I learned to live with it. It will fit in your front pocket.

Free add a phone is where you add a different line to the service plan.

Mine is a Treo600.

The Samsung one I want is the i730, but I only see Verizon has it. Not sure if SprintPCS will pick it up or not.

Here is a link to that phone:

i730

I just tried to post on sbrforums and I couldnt get a cursor in the quick reply box or even in the reply box when I clicked on the reply link.

I know for sure I can post at MW. Im currently going to TOW on my treo to see if I can post there, then to OGD and EOG. I know for sure the Rx pages are to big to load on it, so that one is out.

Illusion · 08-30-05, 12:57 AM

Good info, thanks looker.

Im tweaking with the forum options in the userCP to see if I can get the posting to work here from my Treo.

Found something that might work. Message Editor Interface, there are 3 different ones to chose from, I switched it to Standard. Lets see if that works, if not, I will try, Text box.

It also didnt work at EOG, so Im trying to figure something out for future Treo users.
