Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / December 2006Best T-M bluetooth phones?
So far, I've looked at: Nokia 6133 Razr V3 Motorola V360 Not thrilled by them, are there other phones that are better (excellent reception/bluetooth/battery life)? THANKS! > So far, I've looked at: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Not thrilled by them, are there other phones that are better (excellent > reception/bluetooth/battery life)? I love my PEBL, and it does Bluetooth. Battery life is actually quite good.

I have the Samsung slider phone, the 629. Great bluetooth phone. > So far, I've looked at: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > THANKS! >So far, I've looked at: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >THANKS! I've used the v360 for three or four months now, the BT is excellent. Sounds as good as the regular handset. V360 is ancient technology in the cell phone world. It was introduced quite some time ago. It has been discontinued for over a year. The PEBL was probably its replacement and that two has been discontinued. You might find both in a slow T-Mobile company store or in an indirect dealer. But beware. The indirect may be selling used or refurbished units. There might even be a few left in T-Mobile's warehouse that are being offered through customer care. In any case, wherever you find it, it is old technology. Although the RAZR has also been around a long time, it recently had a software upgrade to allow for myFaves. Hopefully they also updated other aspects of the phone. And now there are about a half dozen different RAZR's. Go for a current model like the Nokia or the RAZR. You'll be able to get parts and accessories. Call a couple of stores and try to get a case and a car charger for each of the phones. You'll not find a case for the V360 and unless it takes the same charger as the RAZR, you will not find a charger either.

It's still being sold on T-Mo's website, albeit as a free phone. > Go for a current model like the Nokia or the RAZR. The RAZR is older than the PEBL.

Do you know why it is being offered free on the web site and not even available in the stores? That is where discontinued phones go to die. >> Go for a current model like the Nokia or the RAZR. > > The RAZR is older than the PEBL. Which RAZR? All the old RAZR's are gone, except for possibly the web site (again). All the current RAZR's have updated software. Quite frankly, I don't care which phone you purchase. Just offering some current information. I suggest you go into one of the company stores for your information. There are too many misinformed individuals with too little knowledge of the industry offering opinions that are worth little or nothing. With that, I'm gone. STORM > Do you know why it is being offered free on the web site and not even > available in the stores? Nope. Why? Because until a few weeks ago, the closest company store to Victorville was in Rialto, 45 minutes away. I'm not counting mall kiosks or other indirect dealers, because they don't always sell the exact same phones. > That is where discontinued phones go to die. OK, I won't argue that. > I suggest you go into one of the company stores for your information. I didn't need to ask them in this case. I know how long the PEBL's been out. Besides, due to distance, going to a corporate store was completely impractical until now. T-Mobile *does* now have a corporate location that just opened up at Bear Valley and Hesperia Road, in Hesperia. Just around the corner from me. > There are too many misinformed individuals with too little knowledge of the > industry offering opinions that are worth little or nothing. What exactly did I say that was actually incorrect? You were arguing semantics with me. All I said was that it isn't discontinued, which technically is correct. For now, anyhow. > With that, I'm gone. Yeah, whatever. Won't miss you.

I also have three chargers for it, one for the house, another for the car, and a third is a mini-USB cable. So my cable for my point and shoot Canon SD600 works as well. So much for not being able to find a charger for it. It isn't the newest phone on the market, pretty sure it has been dropped now. But it had all the features I wanted at the price I wanted. Plus, it was not a RAZR, which all the cool kids had a few years ago, but is kind of old and busted these days. |
