ooh.... well i guess people with the coolest computers don't have the coolest cell phones... or phones from this century :D

Very true.. the computer is only six months old, the cell phone.. geh, two years?

actually old ericssons were alright... still some of the oddest software though

and I have no clue what phone to go into next.

it does everything I need. voice/data bluetooth etc

if I want to take photos, I use a camera :)

that's the better way to go inhouseuk

i was gonna say i have a case of ericsson camera attachments... but that wouldnt do you any good

nope, it would fit this model

so being a CMDA Verizon girl you must have an LG ?

thats DM of course

also, this ericsson is solidly built, if doesn't shatter into a million bits if you drop it

might have some batteries... for a 520 still..

no, it's the motorola 710.. what I'm going into? I dunno yet. Want bluetooth, Verizon didn't have many of those back then

thanks, but I have a couple of spares anyway

geez.. i can't even give the stuff away :)

in fact, that's why I got locked into this one.. it was the first bluetooth verizon got

sorry

that's ok ill make some laptop battery out of a group of them or something

as long as i have about 6 or so

How do you get all those old spare parts?

Service center for Nokia...

as far as others they come from good friends/connections at the carriers

Ah, very cool!

So, you probably tend to tout nokia?

though new it's not like the old days... see before when a customer had a bad phone they would pull a new one off the shelf and exchange *JUST* the phone.. however there was no system on what to do with all the other pieces... and about every 6months corporate would tell the stores to just throw the shit about but destory it!... so lets just say it never quite made it there ;)

now... *NO* exchange is done via the store.. it's all via mail... and they send out refurbs

Yes... tele IS a NOKIA LOVER

I hate refurbs, it's why this one has gone back like, six times!

but yeah, no reason to just destroy that stuff, that's messed up for many reasons!

especially since the kicked Motorla's arse and put them in their place by detrhoning them from being the #1 cellular manufacturer... Boy i loved that day

+y

LOL

boy was that statement all typing borked

of course, but we gave up fixing your typos

:)

i hate corps that get a big head like Motorola ... and think nobody can make a better product... then here comes the good ole Finnish Paper & Rubber manufacturer and dethrone the electronics king of the US ... hee hee

as far as I can tell, they borked themselves

the motorola menu system on phones is terrible

yea you should have saw their first Digital prototypes... eeek!!! shit literally caught on fire

motorola finally has gotten a little better with their menus...

I had a norelco shaver do that to me on a bench

otherwise your spot on inhouseuk they sucked!

I liked their menu system more than a lot of phones, but, I was always on startec's so that's all I've seen

they were to busy convincing everyone to use D-Amps.. while the rest of the world used GSM ...

of course because they invented D-Amps

aka Dumb not Digital-Amps

Does Nokia still have one of those small keyboard data phones with the win ce?

probably

gsm coverage is over 99% in the UK, but I still have fun getting a signal in some places when I visit Ukraine

as I recall it was the one that they used in the movie for The Saint

oh your thinking the Communicator.. flip open phone?

with longways full keyboard?

That's it.

take it they never did anything with it newer tech?

yes... here's mine - http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,60764,00.html

Does it work with Verizon?

http://www.europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,77854,00.html <-- actually this is mine

http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,54106,00.html and now theres this one

no unfortunately.. they are GSM not CDMA phones... .. I never really use my 9300

new one has built in 802.11 wifi

ideal for using in hotels and internet cafes

:( you could send that to me. :)

I take it that's sprint?

or is it T Mobile?

aww.. can't find pictures of my first communicator.. boy what an ugly beast that was

You really want it?

you cant have the 9300i...

still play with that one ... though will be board if i get a 9500

believe it or not my everyday phone is just like inhouse's basic to the point and just what i need.. the others are just eye candy

Spring/Verizon CDMA - T-Mo Cingular - GSM/TDMA

nokia's cream of the crop is in their roots of GSM... they have invested big $$ in CDMA however..

i don't do any repairs .. well i won't say any.. but factory CDMA repairs.. they want you to do a whole other certification program and equipment .. and it's really not worth it now a days

so unfortunately i dont have a big collection of hip CDMA phones to choose phone to send ya ..

s/phone/from

Well, dependant on what you'd want to charge me for it. :) Yeah, I'm truly interested in it.

you would think you shave in the shower so it should handle water a little better

LOL hmm, look? Well, I'd prefer to use! Of course.. if it was off when the water hit it... unless it went through Katrina...

i tried to revive that one... managed to get it to power up... but it must have borked the rf section cuz.. it has 0 signal

Yeah, it they were on during their trip in the water, it's not usually the best. You might be able to pick one with a messed up screen on one of those free user sites, the ones people don't believe in throwing anything away from.

going to just mount a bic on the end of it ;)

:) I wanna see the picture.

crap i dont think i have the one i morphed still... before the razor first came out i made one and sent to all my buddies whom know that i am not a big moto lover

if you find it, make sure and let me know. :)

what?

oops

i will... everyone wants me to take the old motorola brick... the 800 and put a digital phone insite it... but thats like to much work to get to work

8000 that is

night inhouseuk

why, why would anyone want one of those huge pieces.. I know they loved them, but.. crime!

night inhouseuk

I *still* have a BRAND NEW one in the box :D

crap they are worth that much!!! i threw a box of like 50 out!

everyone kept laughing cuz i kept them... shizzit now i'm pissed

insane!

i mean many were beat to heck.. and i figured nobody would want a phone that ummm that has no battery life and us about totally phased out

oh well... i still have 3 or 4 i think

Oh yes, the price was some $3,995 in 1983 dollars.

Yeah, I know, my uncle bought one. I don't think it was the 8000x, because it had a huge box that it was attached to for the battery.

Huge to me, because it was... well, huge! Like a lunchbox.

i still have a car transceiver in the garage i think..

Yeah, that thing!

LOL me, I know so much!

and maybe a transportable or 2

:)

It was one that was a model that walked about.. but, could and was used in a car.

purchased in the U.S. and I think the funniest thing was when he got back to Germany he couldn't use it. :)

My uncle is an electronics snob. First cell phones, the SAE stereo system? All rack mount? Are you familiar with it?

buddy used to be a service center for audio components.. i seem to remember him mentioning SAE .. wasn't his thing forgot what kind of receivers he liked

think he was a Marantz man

I don't know, but I got my uncles old system, and when we were setting up insurance for the house, I was supposed to get replacement values for the "bigger" things. Turns out he spent, well, almost the price of a car on a stereo unit.

and JBL studio monitors

very nice ;) I like JBL and they're just a little company, or, were.

Polk was always our brand in the pawn shop.

Or, maybe it was Polk that was the little guy with great product.

yeah.. I got them confuzzled.

yea.. its crazy how the price of common electronics have taken such a major dive over the past decade

well Matthew Polk was a guy... not sure how tall he was ;)

LOL

oh, probably 5' 9''

just a guess. ;)

i'd say both are pretty big.. i assume JBL being the bigger..

:0

my first was 5'1''

ur first?

well, Polk at the time... was still small enough to not be in assembly.

my first thought.

http://www.soundstage.com/interviews/pics/polka... can't find a pic of him standing

boy the room sure is quiet tonight

we're off on tangents about the height of a stereo mogul :)

hey shep

well yeah.. ;) we've talked about a lot of different things. :)
