Dual homescreen is useless. I haven’t touched it since I bought the device, and it’s my personal/work device…

@ bean

They seriously took out the dual home screen? WTF att?!?! That was one of the bigger selling points for me.

Dammit.

i just got done playing with the e71x. it does have wifi, but they did take out the dual home screen where u can change it from personal to business. also took out the front facing camera. but it does have video share. overall at&t is late with this phone but damn it is sexy in black

Once the att versions come in I’ll check out the branded vs. unbranded and see which one is better for what I need it to do. But if I end up looking at unlocked phones, I may have to wait and see if the Pre ever gets released. If it can run on att’s jenky EDGE network decently, it may be an option. But if the e71x suits me, then I’ll scoop it like Cold Stone.

@TRV$: Thanks! I’m sure the tethering is a bit limited (as in ‘discreet’) but that is all I generally need anyway.

Yeah, heard people are using e71 with $10 plan, but just wondered if att would re-evaluate once they started actually selling it.

@ backbeat and anyone else interested:

I read some reviews on Best Buy and more than one said they are using the data unlimited $15/$10) and getting tethering out of it as well as using it as a wi-fi hotspot for their laptops.

The C905 is totally garbage @$$ phone. Its another failure like the K850i. I had the C905 for 2 months and the speakers have already failed—and no US Warranty. If your gonna make a $500 phone, at least you top grade components.

@digdug

well i guess your just going to have to wait and see if the release gets botched… the palm treo pro didnt have any documentation for its delay, its was purely sprints doing, considering it came out on alltel during the delay.

Smh@ american carriers.. Had my e71 for long ass time!!! now I have to jump onto the 5800 bandwagon. I’d never go back to a blackberry because its starting to become like the sidekicks. I’m the type that hate seeing my tech all over the Damn place.. Can’t wait for the n 97.

^Nevermind, TRV$. Just went thru the dumbphone selection process and found my own answer. AT&T just renamed MediaNet to ‘Data Unlimited’. Hopefully, you’re right about getting the e71x with it. Have to wonder if those who got the e71 unlocked are using the same AT&T plan. That would certainly prove it one way or the other.

By: backbeat

backbeat — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:21:20 +0000

@TRV$: The $15 data plan [MediaNet?] isn’t available to -new- smartphone customers any longer, is it? Still available to existing smartphone customers to switch to? I’ve not seen it listed as an option in some time.

Samsung Propel Pro & the SE C905 with a 8.1 mp cam look pretty sweet! Come ooooon Tmo…! Why do all of the other kids get new stuff…?

@David, if the Pre was “definitely” going to be delayed, PALM would have filed a disclosure document with the SEC because the Pre will be material to their business continuity, and in view of the fact that PALM has stated many many times it will be released during first half of ‘09. If this turns out not to be true, and PALM does not disclose such a material change to the SEC, their goose is cooked. As you know from recent filings, PALM is very “SEC aware” and thus I seriously doubt your position.

Who ever was talking about the palm pre it will be delayed. My friend was the relationship manager with a contract between Sprint and Flextronics which is now a business account with over 2500 phones on it, because of this we now get insider information and it confirmed that the pre will defintely be delayed… I hope Sprint doesnt cause palm to pre-maturly die. lol sorry for the phone pun

I haven’t played with the SE c905, but I’m highly interested in it. I really REALLY want to like Sony Ericsson phones, but so far it’s been no dice.

If they didn’t confuse the touchscreen with the e71x, I’m excited about that. I’m a HUGE Nokia fanboy so, yea.
