"Satisfied" iPhone 3GS owners
Of 200 iPhone 3GS users polled in August, 2009, 99 percent termed themselves "satisfied," with 82 percent saying they were "very satisfied."
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Will this work on Verizon's US network? If so, sign me up!
im guessing it's GSM, so if it is then the answer would be no, it wont work with Verizon. dont worry, im weeping with you, i too have Verizon.
Unless Verizon implements a skeleton GSM network as part of the LTE build-out, the chances are this phone will not work on Verizon. Verizon, Sprint, and the other cdmaOne/CDMA2000 operators, are a poor choice if you want to be on the cutting edge of mobile phones, due to its essentially closed nature and the relatively poor take up outside of the US.
That looks like a fake mockup device. If it is real, the keyboard sucks. Where's the Shift/Caps key? There seems to be either a Backspace or Enter key on the keyboard but not both. And no Fn or Symbol keys! I have a hard time believing this is real and that it'll be a usable device with such a constrained keyboard.
I'm happy that Engadget has decided to be honest, but I really did not need to know that they blew off a guy. Slow down there Engadget...
I wonder who the ODM for this is. TechFaith? It looks a lot like their Ubiquio 501/503s from a couple of years ago.
1. Never heard of Kogan.
2. Will T-mobile insure it?
3. What do i do when it breaks down?
4. Specs too low.
5. These Android phones just keep getting uglier
personally i think the specs are pretty good...
I'm embarrassed you guys don't know about Kogan. He's a young internet mogul that turned his Ebay store into hundreds of millions of dollars. He's internationally known for announcing electronic specs for, say, a 42" LCD flat panel. He would get so many preorders, order the electronics from China, etc., and have an ODM manufacture the product. He passes his wholesale savings on to his customers, selling high grade electronics at extremely low costs since he has little overhead. I'm trying to get a project going with him myself to create one of my designs. He's the real deal. If you're from the UK, Austrailia, or a web head like me, you know he's probably the next Michael Dell...
how about the koolu freerunner that is comming to Brazil? it´s made by maddog hall and will come androided. ugly as hell!
ops, the koolu freerunner at: http://celularcafe.com.br/index.php/20081204151/Noticias/Empresa-quer-trazer-celular-com-Android-no-ano-que-vem.html
for 200 bucks? yeah id try it out...considering my blackberry curve is constantly screwing up on me and t-mobile only gives the $180 discount to new customers for the g1
now THIS is an android phone! The G1 Sucks. It reminds me of the Nokia E61, with a much better UI, faster processor, WiFi and 3G! I am already debating on pre-ording one. Does anyone know if it will include AWS1700?
Yes I would. What bands does it use?
it is an excellent phone that should be carried by t-mo, selling a touchscreen phone for 00.00 dollars with contract would be nice. Or maybe for prepaid carriers, like metro, leap virgin mobile could order those phones on cdma flavors and sel smart phones at 200 dollars or less. this phone is not going for the techie guys , or fashion guys.
It looks like my Samsung i780 (blackjack) and that is a good thing
The digital and analog clocks don't match. Oops.
