Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / October 2003Fido opted for T 616 over T 610 ?
http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 Yup, my guess is they are easier and cheaper to get in NA since AT&T is ordering a crapload of them. TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 My god, it took them long enough to get this phone into the market.... especially just when the Z600 (the replacement model btw for the T610/T616) was just released. > Yup, my guess is they are easier and cheaper to get in NA since AT&T is > ordering a crapload of them. TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 I have the distinct feeling it wasn't fido, but se canada. > My god, it took them long enough to get this phone into the market.... > especially just when the Z600 (the replacement model btw for the T610/T616) > was just released. > > > Yup, my guess is they are easier and cheaper to get in NA since AT&T is > > ordering a crapload of them. TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 One of the main reasons is for roaming on the US. > Yup, my guess is they are easier and cheaper to get in NA since AT&T is > ordering a crapload of them. TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 You REALLY think "roaming in the states" is THAT important an issue for Fido? No, the phones are cheaper because of volume. THAT is important to Fido. Roaming in the states is a small bonus, but nowhere near a deciding factor.

TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 And where is your information coming from?? I have been told this by a friend that works with testing new phones before they're released and unless she's BS'ing me, tell me where you heard your info. > You REALLY think "roaming in the states" is THAT important an issue for > Fido?

TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 I can't give any more info on my source then what I've already said. > And where is your information coming from??

TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 Because he never had any info to begin with, he's just a negative Fido basher. > I can't give any more info on my source then what I've already said. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > is > > > > > ordering a crapload of them. TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 BTW, think about this: what, if YOU were Fido, would you tell your employees for the REASON for offering a version of phone? That is makes a better "customer experience" since you can roam more, or that it was cheaper? Think about that from a sec, from a marketing perspective. It's not a surprise that most employees would be told that is was for a better "customer experience". TTYL > And where is your information coming from??

TTYL http://www.fido.ca/portal/product/handsetdetail.jsp?id=erics_t616&lang=en&cat=1 This is not someone that deals with the public so she hasn't be told what to say etc. Secondly, why wouldn't it make sense since I'm sure way more people roam into the US than Europe Asia etc... whatever, believe what you want, but as far as I know, you're getting your info from a person at a Fido kiosk selling phones.. > BTW, think about this: what, if YOU were Fido, would you tell your employees > for the REASON for offering a version of phone?

I would. > Secondly, why wouldn't it make sense since I'm sure way more > people roam into the US than Europe Asia etc... whatever, believe what you > want, And the same to you, sometimes ignorance is bliss. > but as far as I know, you're getting your info from a person at a Fido > kiosk selling phones..

People aren't buying this one. > > BTW, think about this: what, if YOU were Fido, would you tell your employees > > for the REASON for offering a version of phone?

Hmm, saving money being the primary reason for choosing one model over another, yup, that's REALLY hard to believe... show me where this phone is cheaper than T610. Also don't forget to include the bluetooth headset that Fido is giving for the first 1500 or so purchasers. > > > BTW, think about this: what, if YOU were Fido, would you tell your > employees [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Hmm, saving money being the primary reason for choosing one model over > another, yup, that's REALLY hard to believe... >volume= >cheap volume(AT&T+FIDO)>volume(FIDO) Nuff said... > show me where this phone is cheaper than T610.

Not really. Just from reading through these posts in the last week, I know you'll make up whatever inside evidence you want to support your position. I find no reason to believe you know what you're talking about. I find no reason to believe this is anything other than a random guess on your part. And I find no reason to believe you won't have more and contradictory "information" next week. It isn't the opinion, it's the source. > <snip> > > Nuff said... [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > It isn't the opinion, it's the source. Hehe, wow, your research is impeccable... |
