Is 1xRTT networks the same as 3G? Just wondering because although I have no idea what 3g will do for me but the guy at circuit city told me that the a460 was upgradable.

Who's right?

Most commonly when you here 3G and 1X they are interchangeable.

In reality, 1X is really more of a 2.5G move. But the terms are very loosely used.

CNET Wireless vs. Circuti City sales person?

My vote goes with CNET. The guy was just trying ot make a sale.

looks like a nice phone, except for the 3g issues. anyone have thoughts on whether there will be any reasonably priced 3g phones coming out soon, say less than $200, or are all the new phones going to be super-duper color screen crazy expensive models?

btw, someone replied on the boards here that this phone is voice compatible, but not data compatible, with 3g.

Yes the new Kyocera 2345 is a 3G phone and will be priced at only $129. It's supposed to be out next week. It's a good deal considering that the 2255 started out at the same price but had less features. I've started a new group for the 2345 here:

i wouldnt even get the a460. it'sbattery life sucks and as larry said other phones are shortly to be released that are fully compatible with 1x networks .......keep a look out for the new kyoceras, sanyos, a colour motorola, a colour hitachi...as well as a myriad of new samsungs. my personal vote right now goes to sanyos....currently the 6200 is my favourite spcs phone and has tops reception.

The Sanyo 4900 should also be a solid performer. Has Sanyo fixed that poor analog signal problem yet?

I guess it all depends on who you ask. I asked here and at Sprint and got the same answer. A460 is 3G voice only.
