Hey remember the good old days when there was so much action on this forum that you could hardly keep up?

Now days go by without a post. Has EVERYONE jumped ship?

Not yet, I'm still a G man for the time being!

Im still useing my G but will be geting a new phone soon. My G is on its last legs and about to be warrentied out. Right now i have no clue what im getting as a replacement though up to sprint

wel most of the problems have been solved with this phone... but yeah, the top posters here have for the most part moved on to the 660x... it just me and a couple of you guys... and we all know how the G works inside and out so theres no reason for us to post... but its good to see you guys still here...

once the cam is released on the 660x, im out the door also... witing patiently....

We've all moved over to the dark side but that's not a bad thing. There's still a place in my heart for my G, but I don't regret for a SECOND going to the 6601 (although the beep of death is QUITE annoying, so much so that I usually leave my data connection off). The good 'ol days are still here, just on the 6601 forum now.
Tom

yeah moving to the 6601 is not darkr to me.. i think its light! anyway, by the time we get our hands on the cam version, the 660x version will probably be discontinued! lol....

Ya I didn't feel like waiting, nonmovable camera on the back of the phone did nothing for me.
Tom

i will never move to any other phone, unless it has all the features and fabulousness of my G-1000

Still here with the G also- I just saw an article hinting that the XDA IV spec phones will be coming out soon and will wait for the next generation with 640x480 screens as well as Wi-Fi and bluetooth- hopefully sprint will be the carrier- but if not.... At any rate- I will still have the G until that time- the PPC 6601 looks fantastic, but after seeing an iPaq with a 640x480 screen... Wow! Remote desktop and browsing wont be such a pain anymore.

i hate that samsung phone, they tried to get me to buy one when i smushed my first G-1000, i had to go buy another $90 untested one off of ebay which was a small nightmare to reprovision

The XDA IV was just announced, it'll be AT LEAST a year before we see it I'd wager, and probably longer. The G1000 was the flagship for Sprint for about 2 years, I'd say the 660x will be their current model for at least a year and probably closer to 2. Same with Verizon and ATT, they are both carrying the 660x series. I loved my G but you couldn't pay me to go back!

Actually T-Mobile has allready unveiled the MDA IV with a swiveling screen in Germany. Scheduled for availability in the Summer of this year.

still have my G and love it!

I doubt we'll see it this summer. T-Mobile has no intentions of putting in a high speed data network anytime soon, they are trying to leverage their wifi hotspot offerings instead, so if you care about data speeds (and who doesn't that owns a PDA phone) then T-Mobile is not really a good option. Verizon is really beating Sprint to EVDO, they announced it's now in my area, Providence, RI and it is quite annoying that Sprint is completely silent about it...
Tom

Yeah, I'm staying put on the G for a while too. I might get interested when the 6600 comes out, but I tire of always waiting and waiting.

My G runs tops and is tweaked to perfection. If my G dies or something REALLY slick comes out, I could leave camp.

I've been checking out the new PPC 2003 devices with GPS - especially the new Garmin model. That could make me jump away from the G and just get a flip phone (or even keep the G).

I think they should make a phone that has both SDIO and CF so that more options would be open than the one or the other choice that the current devices make you choose. I also think that if we have a camera on a pocket COMPUTER the thing should at least be able to record video and save it to flash memory.

I would also want faster than 400MHz processors and some serious video acceleration. These things are priced near the laptop range and I want more for my money. Has anyone seen the (still vaporware) handtops? Win XP Pro, 30GB HDD, and 512MB RAM. That's a real pocket PC. Windows CE is getting old, and I would like to see some innovation in new products that do a LOT more than they can do now.

If you're on the fence about picking up a cheap G on fleabay - go for it. At least you'll learn from it, and at most you'll love it.

TomD.

tell me more about these tweaks :shifty:


and how the hell do I install things on my G-1000 if it won't sync? none of the computers I've tried see it whether connected through the cradle, or directly via USB. I don't know what's wrong with this one, my old G did the same thing.

i would like to get the X-CPU overclocker...

You need to load the driver from the CD before the PC will recognize it, although I'm not sure about the new versions of activesync, they may have it already.
Tom

i tried it.


installing from the srint cd thta came with it, i followed the instructions to the letter, just to see if I missed anything................ still doesn't work.

oh well, i manage.

i just dump stuff i want to move to the PC on my SD card and then vice versa...

What a pain. I hate to say it but the odds of 2 G's having the same problem is pretty low. Something else is wrong I'd say.
Tom

meh, perhaps I shall dig up the sprint CD and try one last time.
