“this phone is another worthless device that will not even outsell tmos new black 2 and 1/2 year old dash”.

^^
What part about “Low end Smart Phone” do you not comprehend? Yes the dash is old. Yes T-Mobile has had it for nearly 3 Years. And yes instead of updating it to THIS version they simply change the color of it. THATS NOT SPRINTS PROBLEM. If the dash sucked that much, TMobile would quit sellin it.

Sure for someone who wants Sprints network (A larger & faster one, with DEVELOPED 3G) not T-Mobiles. This will sell fairly well for people who dont want to spend Hundreds on a smartphone.

T-Mobile doesnt know how to update windows mobile devices. Its that simple. Thats why the Wing was still on the Site until a month ago. Dont think the Touch Pro 2 Will outsell the one Coming to Sprint, even with its 3 month head start.

On my Curve the question mark is on the left side of the keyboard.

I also find myself hitting the space with my right thumb.

Seems like it would be okay to me, I wish my Curve had dedicated question mark and period buttons…

The dash was a nice phone…years ago.

I just don’t think something that is essentially the same will survive in the market now.

@yourmom

All blackberrys look the same bc they are blackberrys. They are designed and enginered for data, emailing and phone last. People who depend and use their berrys don’t give a fuck what it looks like. They care about what it does. And what it does better than any device out there is data, email and phone. Sure the iphone is great for web but power users don’t give two shits about web when they bang out 20 300 word emails a day. Don’t hate on the berry. It is the pinnacle for email on a phone and always will be. You don’t see the feds carrying around Willows do you. Usability+security=blackberry

You idiot I do work in the wireless industry. Having owned a Q and seen enough of them come back, I know WinMo Standard devices suck.

Please don’t even try to compare them to Blackberrys either.

@celz

Look man, hands down bb’s win. they out sell all the bullshit phones put out by other companies. They email and message with garce. iphones are for people who go to business people for advice. This phone does suck. Windows mobile sucks. 99% of bb users use it for email. Nobody cares about all the dumb shit winmo phones can do bc most never use it. And by the way bgr is a die hard bb site. You may want to jump to an htc forum, people here are not bashing they just state the facts, this phone is another worthless device that will not even outsell tmos new black 2 and 1/2 year old dash.

What’s with the offset spacebar? Who was the guy that decided the question mark needed to be on the left contrary to every other QWERTY mobile?

@ celz

Actually the BB curve would be the king of non touch-screens because it has been sold longer than the bold and a ton of people have it. Also outsold the iphone.

celz — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:40:54 +0000

shut up dam im tired of all u fags bashin every phone that comes out look at the specs its a dam good phone.. jus because its not a fuckin toy doesnt mean its bad.. like if you guys are so business savy when it comes to the wireless industry why dont you work in it.. or at least make a halfway inteligent comment.. dont say what no multi touch sprint is going out of business now!.. people bought the hell out of dashes and moto qs all of those people will buy this.. the specs arent far behind a bb bold and thats the king of non touchscreens right..

The Maplewood company makes bacon. Again, a litigious issue on trademark issues

Birdseye is the name of the company that brings you frozen peas! That would be an infringement on their Tradename

It looks very similar to a Dash, WinMo Standard, made by HTC…

Is it such a far fetched comparison to the Dash?

I don’t think so.

Maybe we should call it the Palm Pro with WinMo Standard? lol

Maybe you’d like it better if I called it the direct replacement to the Motorola Q9, a total piece by today’s standards.

Hmm. Similar features to the blackberry curve 8520 (gemini).

By: 3 Phones Jugglin

Yup. Come June 7th all of the 1st half phones will be out. Good to see their stickin to the roadmap.

Its also good to see Sprint FINALLY has some low end smartphones like At&t. For $150 I just might buy this to hold me over till the Tour is Out. Im getting tired of touchscreen Phones, gotta have a (useable) keyboard.

And no Sprint isnt getting the Dash 2 1/2 years later..its Tmobile themselves who havent replaced the Dash with this in that time.

HTC is screwing themselves by not making this an android operating system. How do they expect to compete when people can get the curve for $50 less or the pre for $50 more? Can we please get away form WIMO phones?!

Reminds me somewhat of the new Treo.

Wow another crappy Sprint phone. Sprint has always been synonymous with crap phones and this is no exception. The Pre is the only thing good they have going for them.

I might get this not the pre

front looks nice, except for what’s on screen. back looks like shit. let’s thank the phone gods that it doesn’t have the fucking ugly circle buttons like the snap.

The Willow is werid name, sounds like blackberry inspired name? Was MapleWood taken? Perhaps Birdseye?

They are making headway, now get the Pre out

Where’s my Pre!!!

By: Nate

It’s a damn shame.

They almost always kill these things in the transition to CDMA. It looks like the Snap is no different.
