Default wow blazin speed on the 3g network.

who here has a real true 3G cell phone?

I was playing around with my girls samsung a900 for sprint and whoa, i was browsing and downloading and watching live tv and music video at speed of broadband. this is the first cell phone with true 3g support for Sprint's 3G EV-DO network that i try.
the phone is thin like the razr but it is actually build for the 3g network on sprint. if u guys hate or love the razr then this phone is for u to have. it even came with the usb cable for the pc so u can transfer video mp3 anything to the phone or u can use the bluetooth wireless option. and also with the earphones (is the law n ny) .
my plan include unlimited mbs(internet) for free so now i cant wait for the new palm treo which will have true 3g network support. mmm browsing han at speed of broadband from anywhere i cant wait.
I wonder if there is a aftermark radio with bluetooth feature.

I have a Samsung i730 from Verizon with unlimited data from their EVDO network, it's very nice, comparable to almost any broadband network you can attach to. If the signal gets weak enough, you'll drop down to their 1x network (around dialup speeds) and it's very frustrating. I just had my phone crash or reboot or something the other day though and I lost everything that was on it (all my contact lists and settings). I'm stopping at verizon later today to find out what happened. I'm very happy with it so far, aside from that.

i was looking at my friends samsung a940? (the one where the flip top turns for the camera function) he was showing me all these tv shows, google maps, and other such random goodies. i was going to go with that, until the guy at the sprint store said i couldnt get the deal on the phone because i wouldnt be a new customer because i have nextel. gay.

Yea, EVDO is going to be awesome once it's nationwide.

I'm stuck on 1x with my Treo 650 .

that was one of the reasons i went with the i730 over the treo. i turned my phone on the day and it started running the initial setup and i lost all my contacts and schedule items. verizons tech support was useless to tell me why or how to avoid it in the future. i need to snyc this thing soon so i have a backup.

posting from a parking lot by the way. i love this thing! capital letters are tough though.
