Ditched the beloved smt5600 and I'm back...any smartphones???

[rkdiddy]

Well I'm back. :) I recently switched over to ATT for the smt5600 which by the way is a freakin AMAZING phone. It is the size of a Nokia 6200 but it runs on Windows Mobile 03, bluetooth, smartphone, Mp3 player, camera (still/video) and much more. Unfortunately ATT's service sucks! It doesn't even come close to Sprints!

I'm wondering is there anything in the mix for Sprint and a smartphone? I'm not looking for a PDA phone like a Treo...I'm looking for a small smartphone. I know there is the i700 but honestly that thing has been around on Verizon for over a year. Plus, it doesn't seem like that many people like it. :eyeroll:

SPRINT WHERE ARE THE SMARTPHONES!!!!!!

Thanks!

There's the I500!

Well I'm back. :)

SPRINT WHERE ARE THE SMARTPHONES!!!!!!

Welcome back, I too hated AT&T Wireless ever since they tried to build a GSM network.


Word on the street (SPCS Info.com and few others) say that the SMT-5500 (the CDMA brother to the SMT-5600) might be showing up around late Q1 or Q2 next year. SMT-5500 (http://www.coolsmartphone.com/images/stories/stand3.jpg) We'll see. I have heard really good things about the i600 though it has no camera and is WAY too expensive for what it provides.

Good luck.

That was a short lived adventure. :)

PPC-6601 or PPC-6600?

You might wanna try "The New Cingular"
With AT&T and Cingulars combined coverage, they'll also have phones like the MPx220 and SMT5600. Try Cingular in a few weeks.

It was a short adventure! :D

I really think cdma is a superior network. I have never had issues with dropped calls with Sprint. Maybe in my 2 years of service 10 max. In my 2-weeks of ATT service I had tons. The sad part is ATT has both the ATT and Cingular networks due to the merger.

I really hope Sprint steps up to the plate. I'm not sure how they push their business solutions and they don't offer bluetooth??? :eyeroll:

I would be very excited if that smt-5500 comes to Sprint.

SMT 5600 is the standard that Sprint should try to get to

I definately agree. I think it should be the standard for every phone carrier. The phone is such a no brainer...what business person doesn't want a phone that will integrate with Outlook. I live by that program! :D

Based on size, quality, and pretty much 80% of the regularly used feature set of a Treo, the Audiovox is awesome. I'd even pay more for the unlimited AT&T data usage, but when I got the phone, I realized that AT&T coverage sucked. Dropped calls, missed messages, etc.....damn shame.

I'll never leave sprint for JUST a phone, but if coverage improves, the Audiovox may be the phone to leave for
