I'm having the same Wifi problem. Also after a soft reboot I lose my SMS?

**wookiee2cu** · 02-09-2006, 03:24 PM

Has anyone who has recieved the phone gotten email accounts set up? In particular comcast.net account? I'm getting an error and it wants me to change my connection settings, anyone figure this out?

I want it so bad, I'm so jealous of you guys!

But my contract doesn't expire until Feb 2007. Can you guys tell me how to get it w/o contract extension (whenever it becomes available) ?? I don't see any option where you can get a phone w/o a contract anywhere on cingular.com. Or do I just have to wait to get it at a retail store? (Would it be more expensive??

) I'm kinda hoping it won't be more than 450$. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It will be $450 w/o contract extension at retail soon.

What will it be with 2 year contract...$350? I think $350 and a 2 year contract is alot but it is a new phone. I am sure the price will come down.

On my b2b site it says $90 company discount and $10 web discount.

To turn off GPRS just hold the red hang up button for several seconds. As far as one handed use, the only time I ever open up m wizard is if I'm editing a spreadsheet, typing on aim or adding an appointment. If I'm just calling someone MS Voice Command works wonders, I can call contacts or dial by number and 90% of the time it get's it right the first time.

Please see the first post in this thread. This pricing seems accurate for retail.

I saw that my point is b2b should be cheaper then what retail will sell for. My question still stand when this gets released to the consumers will it be $350 or higher. If it is $350 then to me the b2b should be cheaper.

just did some tests for the WiFi...using vxUtils I tried to ping a server on the internet. it resolved the hostname (so DNS works) but it could not ping the IP....

I have a sim card question. When I ordered the phone, I upgraded my plan to the Nation 900 and also somehow was able to get the unlimited smartphone plan. I was sent a new sim. Do I need to activate the new sim or can I continue using my old sim?

TIA!

**mshelby** · 02-09-2006, 04:31 PM

From reading on xda-dev it seems to be a common problem with the Wizard but noone has come up with a true solution to the problem.

**mademan118** · 02-09-2006, 04:35 PM

if the wifi isnt working properly im gonna hold off to buy it until it gets worked out.

**hesh** · 02-09-2006, 04:50 PM

Wifi's working for me but it seems a little slow. Just tried going to google.com and it seemed to take a little bit of time.

I'm currently waiting on ActiveSync to connect to my phone. That's taking forever.
