Upgrade time is coming soon!

dude, go for the Tilt. It looks like a sicker version of my Sprint Mogul.

 

I would say the tilt as well.

 

Wow, that's a tough list to go thru Jay. I do have to say the tilt looks neat, but I worry about the whiole slider/tilting part & if you sms a lot it will be a pain unless you feel the touch screen won't be too bad. a Co-Worker has the 8125 & he loves the phone & mods he has done to it.

I really don't know what to suggest on this, good luck on a hard decision.

i vote for the v3xx.

 

Wow Jay, that is quite a spread and you are actually considering moving away from Motorola's?.

Here is my 2 cents, if you have been happy with the IPAQ go for it, my IPAQ PDA used to lock up and run out of memory atleast once a day but it was 2 years old, other than that it was quality built, ofcourse I don't know anything about how they perform as a phone.

I really like HTC devices but I don't care for too many mechanical moving parts. If this is not a concern for you I would highly recommend the Tilt.

As I mentioned in another thread I have heard nothing but good things about the V3xx from friends & co-workers that own them and I do realize that a handful of people had had problems with it. Much as I am not a Moto fan I am somewhat partial to this phone. In Ruby Red huh? Sounds neat.

Lastly, I don't know anything about V9.

What are you leaning towards?

 

I can upgrade anytime I want, because there is no way in hell that I am buying a branded handset from my provider. I will pay extra to buy an unbranded and unlocked handset.

Good luck with your choice.

 

I happened to be in my local AT&T store today & was looking at the V9, I agree the color isn't good & it seems wider then my V3xx, there was something about it I didn't like.

It would be common sense for them to make it in the Ruby Red that the V3xx is. I wish they had the ruby red when I got my phone, I like the platinum but would have preferred the Red to go with my job.

 

LOL you just need to get something haha.

 

At least you have it narrowed down to 2 Jay, I haven't seen the Tilt yet, it wasn't in the store the other day when I went there. Guess I need to take another trip to the store

 

I did not like the color when I first got the V9 but now I can say, after owning it for a while, I do like it more and see it to be different than the norm. As to recommendations, well I can say I am leaning toward moving away from Blackberry to the HTC Tilt. I went by the local AT&T store and the sales person told me it was not out yet, and LOL as we all know it has already been released. I actually had to insult this person and asked him if he knows how to do his freaking job (man I miss my contacts in NY). I think he did not want to sell it to me for some reason as I got confirmation from some one else that they do have it and a heavy BB user has been telling to go for it (I never expected that from this person to tell me to go to a WM device). As to the V9, I can say the call quality is great and have not had an issue with it.

 

just get the black leather snap on covers for it

 

Jay, here is a bit more information on the 910 from unwired.

Looking good.

 

3 words Network, Network, Network. There are lots of cool phones, smart phones, blackberry clones etc but if they dont work well with the network then it becomes a pain.

Everyphone is different some do better than others. AT&T has a very diverse network the old ATTWS and Cingulars running 800 and 1900 and handoffs to between towers that go to different switching centers across dual band handoffs is tricky alone you have to bet on a good phone that can handle the 3G to GSM and vise versa hand off. I would check all of these phones to see if you can turn the 3G off and on.

Plus your a Moto modder I dont know how much you can play with HTC and ipaq.

Its always fun getting new phones. I get to play with new phones and some are cool but some look cool but sound like crap and dont hand off very well. One is my blackberry, cool data device but crappy phone.

 

I am sure if the screen is too small for the GPS part at the rate these devices are dropping in price it may work out to buy a TomTom or similar device.

It does sound like you have your choice narrowed down pretty well & I am sure I speak for others if you do get this a report on it would be nice.

 

You will be amzed how well optimized these things got. I used the GPS on the Pearl (BB Maps and Telenav) and they were very good. I also used those on the BB 8800 and it is excelent. Now with the Tilt and the UMTS I think the telenav GPS will be flying with the data needed. I have made up my mind today and I will be getting this unit, once my contact gets it in stock again, he said his stock has sold out last Friday and it seems that many are going for this one. If its email system ends up being good, then I am most likely going to stop the BB use and change to the PDA data plan and stay with that. I think this is a great phone and I liked what I saw today.
