Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / July 2003Nokia 3595 available
Looks like T-Mobile now has the 3595 listed as an available phone on their website (though, it would seem, not on the front page... have to hunt through to the phones section to find it). Anyone got one from them yet? Any reports on what they've done to cripple the phone? One fella posted to Howardforums quoted some text (which I cannotfind) saying the phone was single band -- implying that the 800MHz side had been disabled... any confirmation/denials? Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't disabled it. It *is* natively an 850/1900 mHz phone, but there's been no mention of them signing any 850 roaming agreements and that would render the feature meaningless anyway. >>Looks like T-Mobile now has the 3595 listed as an available phone on >>their website (though, it would seem, not on the front page... have to [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >850 roaming agreements and that would render the feature meaningless >anyway. Just to clarify and update... officially from T-Mobile -- that phone is offered **ONLY** as a 1900 mHz phone. The 850 mHz capability is turned off. Why they're offering it, I really have no idea. Not good news. Anyone have any insight into why T-Mobile is taking this view on the 850 side of things? >>>Looks like T-Mobile now has the 3595 listed as an available phone on >>>their website (though, it would seem, not on the front page... have to [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > offered **ONLY** as a 1900 mHz phone.

Signature******************************** David William Botsch dwb7@cornell.edu ******************************** and by the way, the 3595 is just an 'entry level' phone, it's not very interesting. check out all the phones they offer at Cingular! I wish T-Mobile would get with it already! >Looks like T-Mobile now has the 3595 listed as an available phone on >their website (though, it would seem, not on the front page... have to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Thanks! >and by the way, the 3595 is just an 'entry level' phone, it's not very >interesting. > >check out all the phones they offer at Cingular! I wish T-Mobile >would get with it already! What's the big deal with what cingular or T-Mobile or AT&T offers? If you really want a phone get it at a third party dealer. If you want it that badly spend the extra bucks and get it. From what I've seen *nobody* is satisfied whether they're a cingular, T-Mobile or ATTWS subscriber. Everyone else's phones are always better. If you want your carrier's subsidy on a locked phone get what they have. Whining that they don't have the particular phone you want is fruitless. With GSM you can use *any* phone as long as it runs on the frequency your carrier uses. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Replies are seldom read. Please reply in the group yes good point, we can get a phone anywhere but doesn't it seem Cingular is more on the ball with the phones than T-Mobile? In fact I'm going to buy a phone rather than have a new contract with less than I've got now ('free' T-Zones). >>and by the way, the 3595 is just an 'entry level' phone, it's not very >>interesting.

I just purchased an unlocked 3595 and although I have only had it since Saturday I find that there are some neat features. Most importantly I find that the volume level in the earpiece is GREAT! Most phones tend to be a bit low in volume but this one is more than adequate in the lowest setting. I find that as I am getting older, sometimes the phone is hard to hear - not so with this one. I could turn it up quite a bit if needed. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net |
