[Moonbase0ne]

Has anyone ever purchased a phone off of ebay months before it was released and had a smooth sale and a working phone???

Wouldn't suggest it with Nextel phones at least ... if they are beta phones ... ie usually ones that are on ebay months before a phone is released ... the firmware on them has an expiration date ... and when that day comes they are a paper weight ... so I wouldn't not suggest it unless you are rollin in dough or something

Yes, I added wallpapers and ring tones using Webjal, the only problem I had was when I made the first attemp, I get phone busy try again from webjal, so I shut off the phone and reconnect with no problem, I ge this problem with my i730a also, but all you have to do it shut it off and try to connect after it powers up. One of the neat features is once you download the wallpapers they go into a secondary folder call my pictures you can see the picture details there and also check memory.

All the phones I have look like any release phone, except one of the i95 looks like a boost version, but its a Nextel not an unlock boost. The only difference is on the software, for example the i730a that I have does not give you zoom option, but it was free so who am I to complain. So what is the point of taking pictures?

Some people don't believe everything they see on the internet ... including myself ...
