NEW PHONE ALERT: Motorola MMV730

[bluecoyote]

Just in from the Sprint sources at Motorola

EXPECTED AVAILABILITY- Unknown, estimated early 2005

Features:
262k QVGA COLOR DISPLAY (I believe this is Motorola's first. The Prelim model I got to see blew the Toshiba away. They wouldn't tell me who makes it.)
4K External display for Caller ID
Bluetooth Wireless Technology (Unknown if Sprint will cripple it)
1.2 MP Digital Camera with Flash
Integrated Video Recorder
Transflash Memory Slot
Mp3 player & Video Player
Sprint Multimedia Service
3 hours 25 minutes talk time
9 days standby
Interchangeable faceplates
Mood lights (ala V600))

Special thanks to the motorola rep. Sorry, couldn't take pictures.

This phone looks a little different from the v710 (it's black metal)... it's more cleanly designed, and, in my mind, looked impressively upscale. This phone is expected to go head to head with the Sanyo 5600. Motorola has accelerated development of this phone to be out before it, but he said the realistic goal is for the phone to be out within a month of the Sanyo.

The pre-production model (still awaiting FCC approval) had an OLED outer display developed by Kodak/LG, and should eliminate you naysayers of the Toshiba's.

Very interesting...where is quatre where you need him?

Geeze, tonight turned into Sprint phones 2005 and beond!!!

I like it!!! The 5600 doesn't sound so "awsome" anylonger...

I guess Quarte's estimate for the "next-gen" Moto phone was true:eek:

[Jonacell]

tonight we're getting lots of new phone news! the external lcd is a bit primative. but other than that the specs are super. :cool: The Sanyo 5600 will have a lot of competition. :)

-new motorola MMv730
-Lg 535
-Samsung A800?
-Sanyo 5600
if these phones were all coming out during the holidays...none of my family and friends would get gifts...bwahahaha

[Deval]

yeah...I might just wait on the Sanyo MM5600 then...

[qwestcell]

motorola you say?
bugs bugs and more bugs?
sweeeet

How can you say that without ever seeing it...?

[Deval]

Lets see if this phone actually makes into production...I know that sometimes reps have their phones, but in the end, the phone gets canned

Which all turned out to be false so far. Like I said, this sounds muich more realistic than those other three you posted about so long ago, but i'm going to have to say i'll believe this one when I see it.

[Deval]

I think that the 1st link is kinda like this one...but hey....im still waiting for a working LG phone :hee:

[calrath]

Yeah, the first one is kinda like this one. Maybe this is the one he was referring to back then?

[Deval]

could be...remember that until its out, I'm not believing it, only because they might have it all ready to release, and then pull it or something...you know?

Agreed. Remember the samsung a640 or the Nokia 6255i flip that was supposed to be released for sprint? Both made it to phonescoop, the a640 was cancelled and no one is sure what's going on with the 6255i.

The Nokia might still have a future...

Bluetooth Wireless Technology (Unknown if Sprint will cripple it)

hmm based on other Bluetooth models my guess would be yes they will cripple it and it will only be able to use a headset:confused:

I'm with you Calrath. You seem to have pointed out a pretty constant pattern there.

I really hope that this and the Samsung are true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[calrath]

I really hope that this and the Samsung are true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to say for either. For the samsung, we just have pictures, no specs, they could be photoshopped. For the motorola, we just have specs, no pictures, and the source doesn't have a good prediction record.

That said, I also hope they're both true. The samsung looks really nice, and the motorola sounds really nice.

Can you say "Grain of salt"? ;)

Can you say this motorola and the A800 are great...?

[Guy]

I too hope both are real and both make it to stores soon (mainly the Samsung :D ) Hmm...with the CTIA show right around the corner, maybe we'll be getting some more concrete info sooner than later <crosses fingers>

Sorry...

Sprint, Samsung, and Sanyo will NOT be attending...:joy:

[Marlon_JB2]

ANOTHER PHONE??? I know I'm late... I just spent the past 2 hours in Canada..ugg. Can't believe Quatre was right on this one. Oh boy.

[chryslerfan]

Can you say this motorola and the A800 are great...?

No I cannot say that. I would never say such a thing about an unreleased phone. I am a realist, and perfer information that is veridical.

good job calrath digging up those links to bluecoyote's past new phone alerts. i don't believe this even 1% sorry. how does the saying go... fool me once shame on me. fool me twice, shame on you. bluecoyote fooling us a fourth time?? not gonna happen. :eyebrow:

[chryslerfan]

Actually it's "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."
Shame on me for allowing myself to be taken by you again. :)

Why don't they ban these users? It's quite obvious he's full of sh-t...

[mcurtiss1970]

its no worse than random users posting a link to a samsung GSM phone on phonescoop that Sprint will *never* get and ask if Sprint could possibily get it someday.

i think it's bluecoyote's way of throwing us off the path that he really wishes that Sprint ONLY carried the Toshiba

[Deval]

I guess we will all just have to wait and see

[Touchless21]

If this Motorola is true and has all the stuff said above I will probably definitely scratch the 5600 to get this one instead.

[mcurtiss1970]

i refuse to wait and see :hee:

[TRSNYPAZ]

damn another phone ***???

[bluecoyote]

This phone is likely to make it to production. The Nokia 6255i is still on its way, although I was wrong about its initial release date. For those of you who don't know, the Nokia 6255i was delayed to to production issues, but it will be here soon... or cancelled. The LG was cancelled in August with the arrival of the 325, and the initial Motorola didn't make it past pre-production, after its design was scrapped. Motorola has had serious production issues with their lineup.

I do hope to have pictures soon!

[DxM]

LOL i'm as stupid as George W!!! :hee:

I'd love to see your Yale diploma.

[Deval]

money buys anything nowadays

[halo17x]

Until I see genuine photos or other sources claiming the same thing, I'm not buying it. How could such a phone possibly go so long undetected? The V710 was motorola's worst kept secret.

[Merlyn_3D]

Maybe the V710 allowed this phone to go undetected, everyone was ooooing and aaaahhing at that.

[Halo1982]

Well Motorola hardly tried to hide the V710...they were doing promos for it several months before it was released...also it went up on the FCC site long ago, but now that companies can hide FCC information before the product is released, who knows. Plus everyone at Verizon knows what phones are comming out soon because of their insanely long testing period.
Sanyos on Sprint usually come out a month after their FCC approval. On Verizon their phones seem to take 6 months or more.

[halo17x]

i'm just finding it too odd that this inforamtion is comming consecutively from one source with no established credibilaty.

[bluecoyote]

The V710's both success and failure have lead this phone to slip under the radar, according to the Moto rep.

Motorola wasn't originally comitting to the idea of a Sprint equivalent of the V710, however, after the demand for a like phone for SprintPCS, Motorola increased the rate of development. However, after the initial quality concerns over Motorola's V710, Motorola has become much more discreet with their testing process, ESPECIALLY after the V710 recall, and the RAZR V3 problems.

You heard it here first.

[halo17x]

no doubt I'm hearing this first here. That's why I'm not believing it. There's no proof. Ever since you posted an article about a hyped up moto phone with "moto-vision", I'm finding it too difficult to believe you. You offer no proof. And no one else who usually are privvy to this kind of information have a clue. offer me something to change my mind. until then, i just don't believe it.

What kind or problems is the RAZR V3 having...?

[mcurtiss1970]

i haven't heard of any problems...you heard THAT here first too.

A scoop, I have a scoop!!!

[Halo1982]

A surprising number of people are throwing themselves off bridges, buildings and other tall structures after realising they just paid close to $900 for a phone with nearly the same features as the V600 (although the V3 does look pretty damn cool).
