Review Re-Do Samsung SCH-i760 Verizon Wireless PDA/Smartphone

[daytonohiofellowship]

what if I just had this phone and NO SERVICE, will my wifi in the phone work for me FREE off my 2.4 Ghz router ? I dont want a phone bill and I want a starter phone, this is so confusing Grrrr

@daytonohiofellowship Yes this phone and any phone with Built In Wi-Fi will work without a service. It's kinda like a computer that connects straight to your Router that is giving out a Wi-Fi signal, but remember due to the phone's age lots of things don't work well with the built in browser.

i have this phone with no charger :(

[TypicalB18]

@thugnifecent14 Ohh. There's many online perhaps Amazon which carries aftermarket and OEM ones for a couple of dollars, approx $5 - $10.

LOL, i'm still rocking my HTC Pro2 in 2011. These WINMOB phones were wa ahead of their time.

[TypicalB18]

@Neojhun Haha Nice! Yeah I've seen a couple of those come & go but very rarely. I'd get one but the Data plan prevents me from getting it haha. Yeah I guess they were only successful as there weren't as much competitors around, well as far as I know it was just Blackberries & WM at those times. Now they just aren't doing well haha.

@TypicalB18 Fast reply, Pro2 with Sense UI is way ahead of it's time. The only thing can't do compared to todays phone is HD or just things fasta. 3 Years later i have no need to change my phone because there is nothing ut there which functions better then Pro2. For example reason why i got your reply is because i have a relay email account on my phone from Gmail Youtube.

@Neojhun Haha Yeah I just check frequently pretty much! Yeah that's true well my phone ehh it can't do much due to it's age unlike your Pro 2 which is still ahead of time, but it gets the job done and I'm still pretty happy with it haha. I guess I would like those extra nice features but all it takes is money which I don't like giving! Haha that's pretty cool I have no internet on my phone so yeah nothing goes to it haha.

@TypicalB18 Here's how i put it. I have had this fone for 3 years and probably 1 or 2 more. Over that time if i bought a half assed phone that 2 or 3 gone. What a hassel and waste. So 2 phones at say $400AUD thats $800, which is the same as the whole sweet i got for my Pro2. That $800 include 2 Batteries, 16GB SD, 2 Chargins docks. If i had to get that package twice for diferent phones. What a waste.

[TypicalB18]

@Neojhun Haha Yup you've got it worked out pretty good! I bought this phone I think about the same time you got yours 1 - 3 years more or less. I guess I am looking more toward an upgrade now since it does have a lot of downsides if you really think about it. I'm just happy it works, cheap, still decent but really I need an upgrade hahaha. I did get my phone used so it is imperfect. Hmm phones seem to be pretty pricey where you're at?

[Neojhun]

@TypicalB18 The only possible phone i think you should get is the "Grid4 by FusionGarage" coming out soon around Christmas. It is a hole new OS based on Android and works with adroid apps. They are quoting only $400 USD Unlocked. This company is doing reveloutionary things. (oh i sent your a Personal Message for more details)

[TypicalB18]

@Neojhun Ohh Sounds Interesting I'll check it out!

[RobertHuck64]

Cool video! I hated windows mobile... But *sigh* that was like the only mobile OS available at that time...

[TypicalB18]

@RobertHuck64 Thanks! Yeah I admit it is pretty confusing and slow, but it's still okay to use since I can't really get a new phone with Android/Apple's OS. I believe the new Windows Mobile is not doing too well either.
