Samsung A920 and switching back to Sprint PCS.
March 14, 2006 @ 15:01
I've
had NO luck with my Samsung i730 on Verizon Wireless.
It's been nothing but a nightmare. The Verizon Sync
application is a pain and never works correctly. It
requires a client side application, which (for me)
constantly hangs. The phone itself would just
constantly and randomly lock up. When it wasn't
locked, it just wouldn't receive phone calls; so by
the end of the day I have 10 messages waiting for me
to review on my drive home. It was a cool toy
(WiFi/Bluetooth/EVDO/etc/etc), but not worth the
trouble. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: Verizon gimped
the phone by disabling several features that it
supported before they got their hands on it (like
having WiFi and the Phone actually both on at the
same time). There where some clever individuals that
hacked the phone and distributed said hack to get it
to work, but WHY should I need this? WHY don't they
just support the phone without breaking
functionality??
So, as the title says, I've switched. I am BACK to Sprint PCS (was with them previously with my Treo 600), and have chosen to go for a straight phone. Not a SUPER device. The Samsung A920. It may look like a simple phone, but it's truly cool. I have the unlimited unteathered data plan through them, and my Powerbook can now be connected to the phone via Bluetooth and surfing the internet at EVDO speeds! This is the coolest feature ever, nevermind that the phone has real-time TV on it! I've only had it for the weekend, but so far I am COMPLETELY impressed.
Will post more later on the subject if it warrants it
