Seriously, If i had a way to filter out your nonsensical posts from engadget, i would. I feel like i waste my time everytime I see a post with your name as the author.

LEAVE ENGADGET MOBILE TO THE EXPERTS LIKE CHRIS ZIEGLER AND PAUL MILLER. ]]>Mar 27th 2009 1:19PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/Mar 27th 2009 10:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/
the hint is actually a really great phone. there have been great reports from my customers about battery life and once you get over the weird keyboard, its an excellent, non smartphone device. ]]>Mar 28th 2009 3:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/I freaking own the thing FOR ALLTEL
And just B-T-W I don't know what "age" your talking about considering the phone's been out for less than 2 years and the specs are above average.
I didn't know A2DP, 2.0MP Cam w/video, EVDO w/tethering, high res screen, with Querty was "old" or maybe i'm just behind and don't own a Blackberry or iPhone like every other schmuck on earth, I'm sorry but some people don't have $100 a month to waste]]>Mar 27th 2009 1:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/
As for not knowing that this phone has been with a couple of carriers already, just sad.]]>Mar 28th 2009 2:57AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/Apr 23rd 2009 8:41AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/27/bell-mobility-gearing-up-to-launch-motorola-hint-qa30/
Now, onto the phone...

From what i'm hearing online, quite a few people have problems with the phone shutting off randomly (as does my brother's rockr, also a moto slider). I'm curious as to how many other people see this issue and how many can confirm this happening.

Even though there are the negative aspects from the review, I also know that sometimes performance of a particular phone depends on the network. I'm on US Cellular's network (I live in rural North Eastern California). I know people who have the same phones on my network as well as Verizon and AllTell. The LG scoop was crap on US Cellular's network, but those who had it with Verizon had no problems with it. AllTell users hate the Hint, but it seems those who I've talked to on US Cellular have had no issues. Plus, those negative reviews about the phone shutting off all the time were AllTell users, and most of the possitive ones were from US Cellular.

I'd love to hear thoughts on this issue (phone shutting off randomly) and others as well that might come up. Please don't mention small key size. It's a phone with a QWERTY keyboard for land sakes, of course the keys are going to be small.]]>Jun 8th 2009 5:41PM
