would you buy a 9000 now?

[Jonathanlc2005]

since everyone is so greatful for thier 9000's including me, would other users with other devices consider to getting a 9000 now instead of thier current one

[Tigrrre]

sure....if i could do a nice trade..or get a very nice price for one....ie $200 w/a moderately sized memory card.

[SprintNewbie]

sorry, I looovvve my blade

[Tigrrre]

so do i...but im getting tired of seeing "signal faded" anytime in not within a mile from a tower.

[Sonin66]

i voted if changes were made. if it had bluetooth i would definitely. since rl went down to $5 i would in a heart beat

[indyfsufan]

If I had the money I would get it tomorrow

[Rinnegato]

I love my A900 and how it just slides into my pocket... (not bulky)

[alaron]

Got one on order from Fry's.

[tbakergobuck]

I didn't care for the hinge design on the 5600/9000. I liked the 7400 design/build, if if it had a QVGA, bluetooth, and a memory slot it would be a winner. I don't see myself getting bored with my 6700 anytime soon.

[MsRandall]

I like the 9000 abilities but I dont like the look, so I voted no...My son got a 9000 the same day our local store got them...he loves it...and says my blade looks cheap..

I'd love it in retrospect. i hate that i can't record more than 30 sec videos on my a920. i DO love my bluetooth though

[josh33_unc]

i love my 9k, i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world, with my 2gb card, its god's gift to cell phones :) i wrote a pulitzer about finally getting one:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94228

and recently updated my myspace page to have my 9000 all over it:

the 9000 rocks! :kingofhil

[alaron]

[SIZE=1]i DO love my bluetooth though

I've *wanted* to love bluetooth. In fact, I tested out just about every bluetooth headset on the market a few months ago. But I've resigned (or more accurately, I'm trying to resign) to the fact that bluetooth just doesn't transfer voice as well as a wire. That combined with its battery drain just doesn't work for me. :indiff:

It's very nice when it comes to data tranfer tho :lol:

[josh33_unc]

as for all the we need bluetooth on the 9000 replies, some may not want to because of a lil attachment hangin from the phone, but i give my sanyo a2dp stereo bluetooth which lets me listen to anything audio outted from the phone, wirelessly through my bt headset. we're talking button presses, custom rings when a call comes through (instead of a beep on the bt phones, ie-a920, and the best part...wireless MP3s!. i used a bt adapter when i had a 8300 and listened to sirius back in nov. then i got the a920, bt was ok, now i have the 9000. bigger expandable memory, larger screen, much louder tones and mp3s, i could go on... i still have my a920, its a nice lil small phone that u can also watch movies on the outside of and has animated screen savers for backgrounds for just not only n standby unlike the 9000, are about the only advantages the a920 has over the 9000.

and the data transfer thing on the bt samsungs is so crippled its not even funny. you cant even send ringers to other ppl like u can with cing bt phones. the only bt advantage is handsfree/headset and thats 5-upped by an adapter which lets you do the wireless mp3s and ringtones and sirius all n the headset.

[toidi]

hehe it just so happens that my store has a 9000 waiting for me when i get back from vacation :)

[josh33_unc]

u will look at ur 83 and be like, pfft, *** was i thinkin buyin this.

yeah, us shackies know, a2dp with sanyo is the way to go. me and toidi both use the same setup. bta II adapter and h700 bt headset. both pieces are small and the headset is heller loud :music:

[TeddyLeg]

I'm going to stick with the 900. Form factor is an issues, and I've had no problems to speak of with my Blade, including battery life and signal strength. All good.

I like Sanyo too, but losing the QVGA would be enough to post a serious 'no' to any option to switch in additional to the unnecessary bulk.

SOMEDAY, Sanyo will wake up and introduce a phone that doesn't look like any old Sanyo that's been produced for the last 10 years. Allegedly that may even be soon, but not soon enough. If they'd come to market with a completely re-designed phone in say October, that included BT and QVGA, I'd bet they'd have stolen at least some significant percentages of those who went with the Blade.

both 5600 and 9000 are QVGA

[hookedonitunes]

I love my 9000 and if i had to money would buy an extra one just for when this goes, but I do have to say I like the exterior look of my old 5600 better

[josh33_unc]

but I do have to say I like the exterior look of my old 5600 better

omg, thank you. finally someone else that feels the same way i do about this. me and james2k have been toying with the idea of guttin a 56 and puttin a 9000 in its external housing. that would be awesome :headbang2

[atmachine]

i looooove my 9000 , it rocks with out it havn BT isnt really that big of a deal defintley my best phone ive ever owned

[josh33_unc]

how would you like to listen to those mp3s from your 56/9ks wirelessly through a bt headset?

[sandb937]

it still is an awesome phone!!! ...anyone wanna gimme one let me know~

[Poitier]

omg, thank you. finally someone else that feels the same way i do about this. me and james2k have been toying with the idea of guttin a 56 and puttin a 9000 in its external housing. that would be awesome :headbang2

Are you guys nutts? The 9000 looks way better than a 5600. But to each is own.

[josh33_unc]

beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, bud

[handsdown]

i like the size of my a900 but im thinking about heading back to sanyo in the near future....

[AnthroMatt]

I just got one yesterday. So far so good. MP camera, 2GB MP3 player, and a phone all in one. Very nice!

[reemusk]

love it so much i went and bought one.

[Tigrrre]

bah...you still dont have it though :p

[ikandi]

i like the a900 but i want another sanyo so i think i'll be getting a 9000 within the next 2 weeks or maybe i'll hold off until the newer sanyo's come out

[Tigrrre]

so im guessing SU's a900 population will switch to the 9000 en masse :hee:

[sminker]

The 9000 is a nice phone, but its big and no BT. Dont get me wrong, the BT adaptors work well but id rather have the BT built-in. Till then im keeping my A900. Although from the rumors floating around Sanyos will have BT. Hopefully if the Katana even comes out or even exists it has BT and the memory card slot.

[Tigrrre]

ill take a 9000 w/bt dongle over the a900's crappy 2 yard reach BT.


someone had to say it...

NEVER! Why? I had a 5600 before.
I already have an A920 (BEST phone on Sprint lineup)and I'm tired of that. I want something new.

[dro1984]

If it included Blue Tooth, I'd own one. My Blade is nice but has alot of software glitches! I still miss my Sanyo 5400... so yes, I'd consider a 9000.

[alaron]

Just my 9000 from Fry's. 247+tax. W00t! (previous a900 owner). Now if I could only get the mobile action cable to work to sync my contacts...

i had the same problem the a920, bitpim for a920, and datapilot for 9000.

[Sirlawrence]

I am thinking of getting one within the next two weeks. I'm just a little reluctant
because I'll no sooner get one after researching all of these months and waiting for my 2 :cool: years to be up soon only to find out that something better is coming out soon.

Flawed logic;

There will always be something better coming out soon.

Indulge your passion = (get the dern phone) :laughing:

[He123321]

If I still had RL, I would get a MM9000. I dropped RL, when my MM5600 went for a dive into the sink. I got an a800 as a replacement, and it's holding me over pretty well.

i wouldnt be regretful about that. better phones always come out but why wait for better phones when you have a great phone (9000) anyways. yeah they could have dual mode and video conferencing but really what service out there right has live tv, walkie talkie, sirius, and crystal clear calling. nothing and 9000 has all of it except bluetooth (something an adapter wont fix)

and like it sez above, lol 900 users are adding another 0 at the end. :clap:

but seriously dont wait for another phone, if you do then you know the 9000 was a limited edition phone and will still sell high so i wouldnt worry about it brother

[YPG]

I like it but I am not enamored with it as I was with My 7500.
That was an awesome phone and My 9000 was the insurance replacement.

[james2K]

I love my 9000...I can't imagine not having it now.

I like the look of the 9000 and 5600 each in their own way...the 5600 was trying to be 'modern' while the 9000 is 'classic' sanyo. To each their own...

Someday, prolly after I scratch this phone past the point of tolerance, I will recase it in a 5600 housing just to attempt to be original...

[Tigrrre]

modern looks uglay :p

[james2K]

the a900's ugly

[Ronkh]

9000 = great phone

so, yep, i'd buy it
(bought 2)

[G-Unit_4900]

reasons y i got the 940:

1. A brighter FLASH i cant take pix/video in pitch black.
2. Outside mp3 controls
3. BlueTooth
4. Optical Zoom

if the 9000 had these i'da copped it.

[Tigrrre]

Bitpim worked perfectly for me. Selected the MM8300 from the list.

If my Sprint store still has them in stock when my $150 rebate comes up in a month, I'll probably spring for one...

[Tigrrre]

they are discontinued from sprint stores.

radio shack still has a few, fry's if you can find one might be out of stock, but maybe you can have one delivered.

bta II adapter from radioshack for 49.99

[Sirlawrence]

Thanks for the reply!!

[josh33_unc]

anytime

[dtarrance]

Hell yes I'd buy one!!!

In fact, I just did last night! :lol:

Since I'm comming from the MM-5600, I'd have to say that this phone is everything that the 5600 should have been! The enhancements in the UI & functionality (ie: 2GB now instead of 1GB, external MP3 control, etc) just make this phone a pleasure to use. I was VERY impressed with the 5600 as it was my first multimedia phone, but this 9000 is simply amazing.... :music: :headbang2

If you don't have one, you don't even know what you're missing!!! Go get one NOW!!!
