Ok so i finally got anew phone. Its been a while since i got a new phone. THe phone is awesome and great and i love it. Just a few things i do hate. #1 Its Cingular branded. I know it means almost nothing. I would almost agree with people before who said i did not need my T68i and my T616 unbranded there was no real reason. But with this Phone there is. The w810i is an awesome phone and needs to be set free. How is it not free? Apparently Cingular has some locks on the phone where you cannot use certain mp3z to use them as a ringtone AND i cannot use any of the free GPS software with the phone. I have been trying to use Gmaps program but to no avail Apparently cingluar cuts off BT to non secured Cingular liscenced software vendors. So what this means is that instead of having phone be my gps for no more than the price a gps dongle i have to apparently use their software too that is 9.99 a month. I do not agree with cingular. So this is my plan. I will unbrand my phone and unlock it thus letting me have the gps service i want on the phone for free. Also i would like to use the mp3z that i wanna chose being i have a big enough memory card pro duo. So buyer beware its might be a $100 phone after rebates but it will still be a few more dollars to get the phone flashed and unlocked. I will kepp you all updated.
