Upcoming US Cellular Phones??????????????

[Unregistered]

Anyone know when US Cellular will be coming out with more new phones??? And possibly what kinds???? My contract is up and I need a new one, but do not like any of their current phones.

[Unregistered]

I would like to know too. I don't like their current phones. I want the newer blackberry bold or something. The phones just suck with US cellular.

[Unregistered]

US Cellular is coming out with an LG with full keyboard(not sure what model), a samsung with music player(also not sure what model), and the new blackberry flip phone. I got word from a friend that works for US Cellular. They should all be out in the next month or two.

[Unregistered]

USC put me on a waiting list for the HTC Touch Pro and told me it would be out late March or early April.

Awesome list. Do you work for us cell?

[Unregistered]

is the LG UX840 like the LG Prada? thats kinda what it sounds like. i cant find the 840 anywhere online. also, will the LG UX840 be a smartphone? cause if it is, that means we will have to buy internet data plan which is like $25/month.

[Unregistered]

No the LG 840 will not be "smartphone" but it will require a premium internet package that runs 19.95/mo but the benefits way outwheigh the cost!!! I have the Samsung Delve now and I love love love the browser and full html options and I dont have to pay out the yang like with competitors!!

[Unregistered]

Are you sure there will be a $20 monthly fee for the LG ux840. Someone told me they don't know yet if they'll add it. I hope not.

[Unregistered]

yes, you will have to have the 19.95 package and it includes unlimited easyedge access, subscription to yournavigator and a full html browser.

[Kristy]

Hey is the lg 840 like the iphone, can you buy apps for it. Or is it just like the lg 830, if it isn't what is the difference????? Oh and how much will it cost for the phone?????

[Kristy]

Oh and what will it look like?????

[Unregistered]

It is not like the 830, thank god! It has a full keypad that flips out as well as a touch screen. It is about the same size as the htc touch pro. It will have apps you can purchase off the data package but not sure what the Iphone is like.

[Kristy]

Is there a web site or something I can go on to see the LG ux840. I don't if I should stay with U.S. Cellular or not. If it's not like all that I'll just switch over to AT&T to get the new iPhone.

[Unregistered]

They are coming out with a new blackberry flip and also the new lg 840 full key board. Also the are coming out with r311 samsung clam shell

[Unregistered]

The lg ux840 is worth the wait. I am not allowed to really share any info about it. I can say that it is really cool and that's the coolest phone u.s. cellular has ever had.

[Unregistered]

It is worth the wait. I agreed not to share anything, but I can say that it will be the coolest phone at U.S.Cellular this summer!

[Menoats]

So far this is the only corner of the internet talking about a LG UX840 phone coming to US Cellular. Which leads me to believe you're bullshitting or that US Cellular is getting the LG Xenon and changing the name. In which case you could of just said so. I highly doubt that its a completely new phone. Phones are shown 2-3 months before release date these days and US Cellular being the 5th largest phone company in the US have a slim chance of gaining an exclusive with LG, and also to add IF (and this is a big IF) they got an exclusive phone their marketing people should know to advertise and brag about it since this would be the first exclusive phone I know of for US Cellular.

[Unregistered]

It is similar to the lg xenon buy the lg ux 840 is a little better, I think. The ux840 also has a better camera. They're both about the same but they look different, the menus are the same, different body styles. I went to like a show case of phones from lg. I forget what the name was for the ux840 .

[Unregistered]

Does anyone know if u.s.cellular is coming out with the motorola evoke.

[Unregistered]

Just got word today from my US cell agent that the middle to the end of may they will be getting the Triton. not sure what brand or model number it is.. but I am hoping to god that its the lg ux840 everyone is talking about.

[Unregistered]

yep that's the name of the ux 840.

[Unregistered]

awesome! does anyone know if it will require the 19 dollar mobile internet package? it had better not or i'm going to be really pissed! haha

[Unregistered]

Phonedog.com also mentions the lg ux840. And 3 others that are coming out by summer. It seems like all the "great" phones have to have the premium internet service. What a bummer.

[Unregistered]

Yes the LG Tritan will require the $19.95 package.

The phone is awesome and it is worth the wait. One of the nicest phones in the upcoming US Cellular line up.

[Unregistered]

I Think its the Xenon because they did the same thing with the lg glimmer. It was the same phone alltel had it just had had a diffrent name called the LG UX830.

[Unregistered]

Hey the Lg xenon has a 2-Megapixel camera and the Lg ux840 has a 3-Megapixel camera. Clearly they are not the same. Alltel is not supposed to get this phone till after U.S.Cellular gets it, sometime in July will be when alltel will get it.

[Unregistered]

so the lg triton will require the mobile internet i know. i have the 24.95 unlimited text, pix, video and internet. is that the internet that the phone will require? or is it a different package

[Unregistered]

You'll still have to pay for the Internet package. Which is 19.95 but you can still send pictures and videos over the Internet. If I was you I would drop the other bill but keep the texting.

[Unregistered]

k so how much is it gonna cost total for the internet package and texting? the way my agent made it seem is that i have the package that it will require. which is the new 24.95 internet, unlt pix, text, and video messaging. so will i have to have the 19 dollar internet package, plus the 15 unlt texting?

[Unregistered]

The phone is not coming out in June.. The person I talked to through a friend that is with the CORPORATE side of US CELLULAR stated the date that was set in mid JUNE is pushed back and they didnt elaborate further.. I think they might be waiting for the 3G internet service to start which is in July.. It has passed the test they ran in Chicago.. All I know is that this D@MN phone need to hurry up cuz im tired of WAITING !!! Im sure the rest of the US CELLULAR network feels the same D@MN way !!!

[Unregistered]

Lg ux 840 is scheduled for June 8 launch date it has been in testing. USCC tests their phones more than Verizon or AT&T do because of the size of the company. AT&T can afford to put a phone on the market that isn't the most reliable phone because they can make up the money in other areas. USCC has always wanted to put the customer first so why sell a phone that they can't stand behind. Mobile internet will cost 19.95/mth and depending on plan text could cost 4.95 to 29.95. The phone will be similiar to the Xenon with modifications that USCC felt needed to be added/changed. USCC can't sell the same phone as Verizon or AT&T just like Toyota and Lexus change names of vehicles even though they are so similiar.

[Unregistered]

does anyone know how much the phones price is????

[Unregistered]

yea 20 for the internet and 15 for the unlimited texting which will still save you 120 over the 2-year contract. but ask first cause you could get it 5 lower than 19.95. And if you remember to send in a copy of your receipts and your bar code you'll get 50 dollars back.

[Unregistered]

around 200 for a two year plan, but who really knows it could even go up to 300, but no more.....

[Unregistered]

i'm so confused on the whole mobile internet/texting situation. i just signed up for the "new" 24.95 unlimited text, pix, video messaging, plus mobile internet and e-mail package. all those in one plan for 24.95. my agent said that the way it sounded for the lg ux840 that is the package is the one i would need anyways. right now i have a razor 2, and i have the novarra mobile internet, that is the full html browser. and i have a thing that has mobile e-mail. so to my understanding, i won't have to get anything different when i get the phone, right? or can somebody please correct me if i am not understanding this correct. if you go to this link, http://www.uscellular.com/unlimited it is the second package down, please someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[Unregistered]

You need the premium mobile internet for 19.95 and the unlimited text,pic,video is 19.95 so you will have to change your plan. The phone is suppose to be 149.95.

[Unregistered]

okayy.. i am confused now.. is the release date being pushed back now or is it still being planned for release in the middle of june??

[Unregistered]

<http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494423> go to this webpage to see line-up of cell phones this summer for U.S.Cellular.

[mad man]

I think the ux840 looks retarded it don't ever look as cool as the xenon.

[Unregistered]

what is that square looking thing on the bottom right hand corner if that phone

[Unregistered]

I work at aUPS and I send the the phone I looked at it and I'm getting it as soon as it's release. I love LG phones!

[Unregistered]

I hope these LG rumors are true that phone looks awesome :) And now that Iowa officially has the 3g network it makes it even better!

[Unregistered]

Lg sucks I have a glimmer and I liked the razr I had better

[Unregistered]

haha thats funny. i live in iowa, and they have the fast internet now. and i had the razr 2 before i got my glimmer, and i hated the glimmer so i took it back and got the rokr, but that pos died so now i'm upgrading to the triton hopefully...

[Unregistered]

i don't know if i even want the triton. it looks so stupid. I'm getting that new motorola touch screen when it comes out at u.s.cellular.

[Unregistered]

that motoroal phone that ur talking about isn't coming out for u.s. cellular, they did 8 different test on that phone an it failed all of them. cricket should be getting it soon though.
does any1 know the official date for the 840???

[Unregistered]

Everyone keeps saying that it is June 8th, but when I spoke to my in at USCC Corp, they said thats not the case. However, he told me that there is a CONFIRMED EXCLUSIVE phone for USCC coming, and it will resemble the LG Xenon called the LG Triton just like everyone has been talking about.

[Unregistered]

I heard that also. Everybody everywhere else is telling me June 8th but i talked to the corporate side of u.s. cellular and they said it was being pushed back for an unknown reason. Could anyone tell me which one is true?

[Unregistered]

More new phones coming out this june some samsung windows smartphone and the lg ux700 can't wait. I want the ux700 sounds like a pretty sweeet phone

[Unregistered]

there also coming out with a new motorola hint will be re-released on june 4th

[Unregistered]

Here it is :) !!!!

[Unregistered]

oops here is another good link:

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/06/02/us-cellular-to-launch-five-handsets-in-june/

[Unregistered]

A US Cellular rep told me yesterday that it won't be till around June 22nd for the Triton.

[Unregistered]

I also spoke to a USCC store in Iowa and was told that they were scheduled to get it June 19th at the latest.

[Unregistered]

My us cellular agent said that she could order it this monday, and it would be in later in the week.

[Unregistered]

they told me the same thing, that the lg ux840 will be released later this week

[Unregistered]

Coming to Alltel this week. We were sent the dummy phone already.

[Unregistered]

yep i just got off the phone with my agent and they said june 19th. bummer

[Unregistered]

BAD news verizon just bought out Alltel. it would be verison`s getting the triton too. i really hope no one buys out u.s.cellular because there like the best company out there, they don`t rip you off

[Unregistered]

I work for U.S. Cellular. All I know about the Triton release date is that we should be getting them between now and the end of June. My D.M. said they may even come in our phone order this week. I can't wait. I've read all of the specs. and it's going to be a kick #ss phone! They keep moving the release date because our company runs more tests on all of phones than most companies do. We just recalled one of our newer phones because less than 1% of them had reported software issues. I sware to you that this phone is worth the wait. It's one of the coolest phones that U.S. Cellular has ever carried. Don't be upset about the $19.95 data package. If you have a phone like the 840 why would you not want the data?

[Unregistered]

This phone looks amazing, but I think I like the appearance of the Xenon more, just because the whole screen slides back on that one.
I would really prefer a phone that flips and has a keyboard.
I have the Samsung Gloss right now, and I absolutely HATE it. It's probably the cheapest and crappiest phone I've ever had. I get a new phone almost everytime us cellular comes out with a new one, so I will give you my opinion.

Motorola Hint- the keyboard is really weird, the buttons are awkward, and its too small.
Samsung Delve- touch screen broke after 2 weeks. It froze a lot, and I didnt like the texting on it.
Samsung Gloss- HORRIBLE
Lg Glimmer- I liked it, but I wish you could do more things with the touch screen.
Lg Rumor- hated it, end of story.
HTC Touch Pro- I had it for about a month, and decided that it was too high tech. It's a great phone for someone that needs all the internet access. It was just too complicated for me. I'm seventeen, and all I need is calling and texting.
Motorola Razr 2- LOVED it, probably one of the most reliable phones I've ever had.
Motorola Rocker- didnt like it what so ever, it was too skinny and hard to text on.
Lime Green Moto Q- This was my favorite phone from US Cellular, I like when they offer different colors. Internet was wonderful, and texting was amazing.
Lg Rhythm- I thought it was a nice phone but the screen was way too small.


Like I said, I've tried almost every US Cellular phone possible, and I think the Triton will top all of them. I live in Oregon, and everytime I call US Cellular, they give me a different release date, so I'm hoping it will be soon. I just bought the Samsung Gloss, not knowing that this LG Triton was coming out (LG is my absolute FAVORITE when it comes to cellphones) I bought this phone two weeks ago, so I have two more weeks to exchange it for the Triton, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes out soon.

[Unregistered]

I work for a US Cellular Agent store. We got the dummy version of the Triton last week. Im an HTC Touch user right now and Im thinking of switching to this new LG phone. Its a little big, but I like the keyboard and little joystik nub. Hope I can play pac-man with it. Just waiting to hear from corperate as to when we can order it. some time soon.

[Unregistered]

you pretty cool to have to go a few weeks with the Samsung Gloss i would kill myself. when i went up there to look at it and i said one word to myself 'CHEAP'. i`m 17 and from west virginia. i've had the razr 2,the glimmer, the delve, and now i have the htc touch pro, within two years. i`m going to get the triton when it comes out.

[Unregistered]

yeah, i have the stupid gloss.
i knew it was cheap, but i sold my htc touch, and this was the only phone that was cheap enough for me to afford at the time.

and then i found out the triton is coming out.
which i called my us cellular agent today, and they said it will be out june 19th. I'm hoping it doesnt get pushed back again.

[Unregistered]

I just spoke with my US Cellular rep and he said I could order or go to the store Monday the 15th for the UX840. With so many dates being tossed around I hope he is right. I am not in contract right now and the only thing keeping me there is this phenom the triton. I love the service but the selction of phones to this point has been horse @#%$! Once they get there phone assortment address sufficiently I think US Cellular is one of the best companies over all.

[Unregistered]

I think that for every state, the release date could be different.
because not all of us are from the same state, and we're all getting different dates told to us.

the us cellular i talked to looked it up on the computer and said it will be here on the 19th.
i hope it doesnt get pushed back again.
i have to exchange my phone by the 24th

[Unregistered]

I went into my local U.S. Cellular today, asking if they were going to carry the new blackberry curve. Anyway, he said they got some new phones in this morning, and he brought them out. One was a Blackerry Pearl, but in a flip phone form. The other was a LG Triton. I messed with the Triton for a good few minutes. It looked like a UX830 but with a slide out qwerty keyboard. It had an accelerometer thing like the iPhone. It had a pretty good touch screen, a good feeling keyboard. I liked everything except the 3d launcher on it when it slid open was a bit weak. I couldn't preview the internet as it had not been activated yet. I'll have to wait until it comes out to make a final decision.

[Unregistered]

I called us cellular today, to see what the pricing would be.
and he told me it was 149.95 with a 2 year contract.
he also told me that they got the triton in today, so i went there to go get one, and he said he made a mistake, it was just a display phone.

they looked it up saying its shipping there on the 15th, but it will be everywhere by the 19th.
so i was very angry that i went all the way there to exchange my phone, and ended up getting a crappy loaner phone anyways.

just thought i'd let you know.
it should be there by the 19th.
maybe earlier, but definitely by the 19th.

[Unregistered]

I am so waiting for this phone. Its the 15th and still nothing! Have you guys gotten a hold of your Tritans?

[Unregistered]

I cant wait either! Here in Iowa I have called and every major USCC outlet is getting them Friday! :)

[Unregistered]

Friday. I haven't called yet, but from what ive read, the 19th is the date. This Friday then! Do you know if you have to pre-order it or can you just go? Also how much is it going to be with 2 year contract? I know at All-tell its like 80 with two year contract, but how about US Cellular?

[Unregistered]

I got the phone from a USCC in Iowa today and all i can say is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!! the reviews dont even describe how bad ass this phone is go out and get it!!!

[Unregistered]

Alltel in South Dakota got the Triton last Friday (6/12).

[Unregistered]

what city in iowa has it? i want to look up the phone on the ussc website

[Unregistered]

I went to Us cellular in oregon yesterday
i got to mess with the display phone, and it was AMAZING.
the touch screen is so responsive.
the only negative thing is the keyboard.
its like the keyboard from the lg rumor.
i wish i would be like the keyboard from the xenon.

anyways, someone asked about the pricing.
i dont know if its different in every state, but in oregon its
129.99 for a 2 year contract.
and a 50 dollar mail in rebate.

its supposed to be out this friday, and i cant wait any longer!

[Unregistered]

I got it in Waterloo, IA today. Any questions feel free to ask :)

[Unregistered]

to the person who got it from waterloo.
how is the internet on the phone?
and how long will the keyboard take to get used to.

ANNNND can you set a song as your ringtone?

[Unregistered]

The internet is amazingly fast thanks to the new 3g network launched around here just bout a month ago. The keyboard is what you can expect for a QWERTY keyboard, its small if you have big fingers obviously. i personally have no problem with it compared to the other posts on here. It does feature a virtual qwerty which absolutely sucks since the letters are tiny lol
as far as setting songs as ringtones, im not quite sure yet..my memory card doesnt work with my phone for some reason so i cant experiment. you can however record your own ringtones which is a nice feature :)
any other questions feel free to ask away

[new guy]

Did you get it at US Cellular? And i saw you guys said 129.99 with 2 year contract. Is the 129.99 price after the mail in rebate or before? Also, did you have to ask for the phone or did they already have it out? Sorry for so many questions ! lol :) Its just that i really want this phone but theres no info anywhere on the net.

[Unregistered]

LOL its okay :) yes i got it @ USCC in waterloo. I had called and UPS had just gotten to the store and dropped them off and the sales manager was taken in the inventory as I got there and had to wait a little bit to get it. I personally had to specifically ask for that phone, they DID NOT have a model of for the public yet. They might now (this was bout 8 hours ago now) and If you don't have a outstanding balance with USCC you will pay 129.99 plus a $50 MIR paid as a visa gift card. if you do have a outstanding balance you will pay 149.99 plus a $50 MIR. and believe me, I REALLY wanted this phone also and OMG it is WORTH IT!!!

[new guy]

I just lost my found, and need to go get one this weekend. Thank you so much for the info!

[Unregistered]

does this navagation part of the phone get in the way while texting with the qwerty keyboard? like where it has the talk botton and scroll thing? and also, is the internet toch screen? and does the navagation scroll thing provide the purpose of gonig up, down, left, and right? like just on a normal phone.. or is it only used for the internet?
thanks so much!

[Unregistered]

I played w/ the phone extensively at my USC location and the internet is touch screen. The little square "mouse" like navigation button was only active for the internet. I can't wait for this phone to come out...tomorrow will never get here! Anyone know how the battery life is expected to be on this phone?

[Unregistered]

im glad to know im not the ONLY person excited for tomorrow!
i played with this phone at my towns USC before anyone else did.
and im completely obsessed with it.
i can not believe how responsive the touch screen is.
its going to be amazing to use the internet.
i hope today goes by fast.
the problem is, my usc says that their ups shipments come in between 11 and 1.
i cant wait that long!

[Unregistered]

Alltel already has it !

[imacg32007]

phone arena says it is available today! But it is not on the us cellular website yet so (11:21 AM in Knoxville) Phone arena also said that the Samsung Axle SCH-R311 should be on the us cellular website today.

[Unregistered]

so is the phone actually avalible at us cellular stores today? and also.. is there anyyyy way to buy the tritan w/o getting the internet plan?

[Unregistered]

Does anyone know how much the Tritan will cost with the 2 year contract at Us Cellular?

[Unregistered]

Yes, it's available. I just came from the US Cellular store. It's $149.00 with a $50.00 rebate for 2 years and you have to have the $19.95 premium mobile internet. The slide out keyboard seem like it would slip without much pressure - does anyone know if that's just the way all the slide out keyboards are?

[Unregistered]

For current USCC customers it is $129.95 with a $50.00 rebate.

[Unregistered]

does the bar with the mouse and talk button and such get in the way when typing on the qwerty keyboard?

[Unregistered]

I check USCC's website and they are offering the trition for my area in wisconsin. Not sure when they started offering them. I have the HTC 6800, it is great for me because I am a IT guy and need all of its feature. My wife is looking for a less tech like phone so I am thinking the trition will work great. Maybe I will even end up with one. I used to be a USCC Store Manager, which makes me concerned the easyedge is on the phone. Death to easyedge. In conclusion the trition looks promising.

[Unregistered]

i just got back from picking up my triton!
its amazing!

i love the on screen keyboard, and the mouse thing does NOT get in the way at all.
the internet is fantastic.
and the touch screen is so responsive.

the only thing i DO not like, is the fact that you cant change the color of menus and what not.
its a ugly brownish yellow color, and its not very attractive

other than that, im in love with it.

DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

[Unregistered]

Altell in la got them last month

[Unregistered]

How the hell do you set up the signature on the LG Triton its starting to piss me off and im sure its really is which makes me madder

[Unregistered]

Do you think the slider will get loose and "floppy" after a while? This is one of my concerns that it will not stay locked in when not in use.

[Unregistered]

so will any of the phones coming out this summer NOT require a data or premium plan? i just want a decent phone without the internet.

[Unregistered]

The Tritan's keyboard that I tried at a USCC store seemed loose to me and it was a day after it came out so I'm pretty curious about it not staying tightly closed too.

Also would really like to hear some thoughts about the Tritan from those that have already bought it. Thanks.

[Unregistered]

I just got the Tritan and it's awesome!!!! Best phone for the buck.
It has so many features I haven't used them all yet. The GPS is great.

[Unregistered]

is a new LG phone going to come out... LG ux310? its on the rebate form...

[Unregistered]

Came out already I own it and it is the best phone ever! I love this phone it has awesome capabilities and texting is like 2seconds flat! I don't think there is a better phone out!!!! I love this phone

[Unregistered]

I have had this phone for a couple days and love it. It was $129 then came with the $50 rebate and I got a 10% loyalty discount from the store I go to.
I switched from a blackberry pearl and dont miss my crackberry at all. The internet viewing is so much better. The onscreen keypad is awesome. I'm thrilled not having a tracball. Over a year I went thru 5 of them. The navigation is great. It actually speaks to you instead of trying to read the screen and drive at the same time. And it actually locates me at home. My bb couldn't. I'm in a small Iowa town out in the country, but the tritan can pin point my house.

I have downloaded a few songs from the tone room app. Anyone know of websites where you can download free songs to your phone?

[Unregistered]

Try
http://www.myxer.com/
It isn't like those other websites where you have to sign up for a monthly subscription or even pay for the ringtones individually, its completly free. Just search for your ringtone. Its like the limewire of ringtones lol but even better. It sends the mp3 ringtone file directly to your phone. Ive been using it for months now and its great!

[Unregistered]

Does anyone know where to find a case for the lg tritan?

[Unregistered]

since the phone just came out, i think that its gonna be a little bit before cases come out.

i love this phone, but i really hate the ugly brown menu color..
does anyone know how to change it?
i dont think its possible, but if you know how, let me know.
because its the only thing i dislike about the tritan

[Unregistered]

I got the Tritan a couple days ago but had to exchange it because it was a lemon! It kept freezing in the lock position and I had to keep pulling the battery out. Also, when I went to my text message inbox, I couldn't even finish reading the message before the phone started shuffling through the messages on it's own ( I swear I touched nothing!) Now the new one is good so far but I'm having trouble transfering music onto the phone. Ive tried on two different computers and I bought an extended memory card- still nothing! Can anybody suggest a solution? Or, has anyone had similar problems? I really hope it's not a design flaw, because I love the phone.

[Unregistered]

there is a couple solutions.

i always go to "open folder to view files"
and i drag my music over, and it works.
other than that, you can get a card reader from walmart for like 8 dollars, and put your card in it, and it works.

i use both.
hope that helps.
theres nothing wrong with the phone though.
everyone i've talked to, loves it.

I am going to get a new cell phone tomorrow at US cellular in TX and was wondering which one?? Samsung Delve, Blackberry curve 8330 or LG Triton?? I have never had a cell phone that is internet capable and want the right one since I have to renew my 2 year contract. Are these GPS??

[Unregistered]

got my Lg Tritan a couple of days ago and I love it, had an HTC and it gave me nothing but problems and replaced 2x since the first of the year. it has the same type keyboard as the HTC and I didnt have any trouble with it coming loose. I do have Telenav it came with the phone and it is gps capable. I really like this phone and its features most bang for the buck. I dont know if it is just a special but Altell has it for 199.00 with a 100.00 rebate cost is then 99.00 and only a 1 year contract

Hello. So my cell phone plan is up and I was looking at the new LG Triton. This phone is exactly what I am looking for but I don't want to pay the $20 internet fee per month. Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this phone without paying the $20 internet fee?

[Unregistered]

No, you have to get the 20 dollar internet. Its a requirement. Theres no way around it.

[Unregistered]

Then can I buy a US Cellular phone online that would require an internet package and just switch out phones over the phone?

[Unregistered]

I'm sorry, but your sentence didn't make much sense. Could you rephrase it?

[Unregistered]

I think what the OP was trying to say was.. if he/she bought the phone online could he/she get away with just calling the phone company and just switching activation on the phone and avoid the $20 per month internet fee..or at least thats what i gathered..

I wish that us cellular would have more txting phones that didn't suck. The only ones they have available are the Samsung and Moto Hint, both the phones have poor designs. They got rid of the lg Banter, which I was going to get but not it's too late. By beef with HINT and Samsung gloss are mainly with the buttons (hard to txt). I love the Tritain and similar phones, but they require internet plans. Does anyone know if there are Txting phones coming up that DON'T require internet mobile service plans with the phone?

Trying to find out if any of the newer phones deal with audiobooks well. Many of the mp3 files are long, ie 45min and scrolling through is tedious, if you even took note of where you left off! On the Tritan, is there any bookmarking or does the player remember the last location at all?? Thx

[Unregistered]

No, there is no way of tricking US Cellular. The internet plan for the Tritan is required. As for the audiobook, bookmark feature, there isn't one.

[Unregistered]

OK so no bookmarking, thanks for the info!

I had to return my first triton too because it froze in the locked position and when the Inbox got to full it would scroll automatically. THEN it wouldn't hold a charge. I returned it no prob but it makes me nervious. Other than that.. LOVE the functions on my Triton!

I bought 2 of these LG's today in Nashua, NH. Brought them home, got them fully charged, and have already had issues with both of them shutting themselves off randomly. We previously had the LG rumor and that was one of the major issues we had with those phones. One of them also had the freezing issue. I have always loved LG phones but, the rumor sucked, I was constantly in the store on "tech day" with them, and, if this continues, these will be going back before the 30 day period is up. My two teenage daughters have been dying for this phone and are already complaining and it's only day one!

I have the Tritan 840, have had it 3 weeks. I must admit it is a very nice phone. It doesnt feel cheap or feel like its going to fall apart in my hands. I hate paying the extra 19.99 a month for the package but now that I have it I wouldnt trade it for the world. Love the wii games loaded to the phone, the screen is readable and easy to maneuver. There was very little learning curve. This is about as close as we will get to an Iphone from US Cellular so Im quite pleased. The camera has auto focus and really takes decent pictures. Other than the fact that USC is forcing us to buy a premium package I think this is a good deal. Ofcourse...if you didn't buy the package, the phone would be nothing but a phone. You couldnt use half of it's applications. Thumbs up!

[Unregistered]

Because the 2 reviews previews to my post aren't fake at all
/sarcasm

[Unregistered]

just picked up my tritan 2 days ago.. I also hated the fact that my bill would go up 20 bucks.. but after finding out that there were no extra charges for the navigation application I was appeased.. surprised that those who purchase the more expensive 29.99 internet and text plan have to ontop of that pay to use navigation subscription.

my only issue now is keeping it scratch free while I try and find a case and screen cover.

I'm trying to decide whether to get a Tritan or a Blackberry. I'm never used either. Other than the Blackberry plan being $5 more per month, what would be the advantage of the Blackberry over the Tritan? I like that the Tritan has a "touch screen". I have played around on the IPhone, but I've had USCC for years and don't want to change.

[Unregistered]

I am looking at one and just wondering if anyone knows if you can pull up IP cameras/security cameras, I have 24 I watch and am on call and it would be great if I could get into them by the IP address. Anyone know by chance.

For any upper U.S. Cellular Representative or CEO

I think that since they have the whole list of touch devices from HTC an haven’t had any problems out of them so i think that they should go ahead an push the HTC TOUCH PRO 2 to the TOP of the list and RELEASE it SOONER than later; Cause i have this feeling that if they do they will gain alot of customers an really an truly thats what they wanna do, but they have been trying to do it with there plans, so we have the cheapest service an the best plans but we have the whack phones so everyone else settles for VERIZON or SPRINT. So I say to U.S.Cellular release the HTC TOUCH PRO 2 cause the only way you can go wrong is by NOT RELEASING IT!!!!

[technics42]

I think USCC should stop being so hush hush on the Touch Pro 2 cause its dumb....
The Touch pro 2 would make them not break them, I know they want reliable phones but HTC's past has proven that. An I'm tired of waiting!!!!!

[Unregistered]

ebay has them...not very many colors to choose from, but they are dirt cheap. i ordered 2
they had a zebra pattern, pink, blue, red, clear, and off redish color..

[Unregistered]

so does anyone one the release dates of any upcoming us cellular phones?
and are any of the new ones on the rebate form really good but dont require internet plan? it seems lately that all the good phones need the plan and i dont want to pay for it.
the glimmer phone is exactly the style i want but i want something new.

[markdgordon2002]

I have to say, I am not willing to give up with USC yet. Their plans are by far the best around and so is their service. As for their phone selections...something to be desired.

Word has it they will be offering the HTC touch pro 2, and two Motorola phones in the next couple of months. A motorola android and something called the crush. Correct me if i'm wrong but the only phone I know of, that Moto offers with android, is the CLIQ. If this is correct, I'm tenting like a mofo.

If anybody has any validation on this please do post. Also if someone has any info on this phone so called the CRUSH. do the same.

:confused:

I've heard that Us Cell is getting the BB Tour, HTC Touch Pro2, Motorola Cliq, and a couple samsung phones [See here for the Samsung phones: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/U.S.-Cellular-carrier-c_37_3.html]

I don't work there, so I know nothing for certain.

Going to take my phone in tomorrow or Thursday and talk to them about upcoming phones while they fix my current one.

Will let you know if I hear anything!

[Unregistered]

Does anyone know how twick the motorola crush will be and how big the screen is???????

[Unregistered]

Sorry i ment thick

[Unregistered]

I know Triton and many others at US Cellular do, but does the Glimmer as well, or no??

[Unregistered]

no.. i had an lg glimmer before i got the lg triton, they don't even sale the glimmer anymore. thats why i had to get the triton when i broke my glimmer.... The lg glimmer is indestructible, It took so long to break it. it the most held up phone i ever had, if the touchscreen was only alittle better.....

[Unregistered]

Here we go. Motorola Crush: Still in testing. Possibly a touch w/o the data plan. Not sure (Cant remember) HTC Touch Pro 2 and HTC snap. Coming soon. Quantico (mil spec) mid november for sure. Android? You better believe it. It is coming. There are some others but this should calm you folks down a bit.

[Unregistered]

USC will have android by 1st quarter next year, crush will be coming soon w/o data package, along with the quantico (released for sale today). touch pro 2 and snap coming before xmas...

[Unregistered]

How big will the screen on the motorola crush be, and how thick will it be. I have the Triton but I don't want the data plan anymore, so I am just wondering about the crush. I want it to be at least a 3" screen and way thinner than the Triton. Please Someone Help Me!!

[Unregistered]

Ok, guy who works at u.s.cellular said the crush will have a 3.2inch screen and will be .58"thick. And will be out next week!!

[Unregistered]

is the LG UX840 like the LG Prada? thats kinda what it sounds like. i cant find the 840 anywhere online. also, will the LG UX840 be a smartphone? cause if it is, that means we will have to buy internet data plan which is like $25/month.

Just to let you know that the LG UX840 for US Cellular is a smart phone and you would have to add the data package on it but it's $19.95 the $24.95 is for the Blackberry or HTC phones.

You may want to go with the motorola Crush then. You don't need the data package and it will be a touch and will have a slide out key board. It should be at us cellular by christmas but not really sure just call a local store every week to check if its in or they heard anything about it yet.

[Unregistered]

Ummmm i heard a LOT about the moto crush....and nowhere did i hear or c tht it had a keyboard? can someone please confirm tht this is true or false???

[Unregistered]

The Crush DOES NOT have a keyboard, and it is in Stores NOW, it just can not be sold because it was shipped with the wrong headset. It does not need a data package, but can be used with one. The Touch Pro2 and the HTC Snap are also out. The BlackBerry Curve 2 will be out before Christmas!

[Unregistered]

so is has there been any news on the EXACT release date of the moto CRUSH?

[Unregistered]

TODAY! The Moto Crush is in stores TODAY 11/19/09
