Comments on: Phone Tag http://the-gadgeteer.com/2007/02/12/phone_tag/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sat, 26 May 2012 18:07:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Julie http://the-gadgeteer.com/2007/02/12/phone_tag/comment-page-1/#comment-25533 Julie Wed, 14 Feb 2007 14:54:54 +0000 #comment-25533 <p>Murray: You mean a person is supposed to change their socks more than once a month? Wow, who knew?!</p> <p>John M: Nice try ;o) Actually, I recently gave a phone away for someone to review for me. If you remember, Kerry Woo reviewed the Samsung i320. Unfortunately, I'll probably not offer up any other devices / products up for review again as I've sent several things to people only to have them take them and never respond back to me with a review. I may give a phone away soon in a contest... so keep an eye out.</p> Murray:

I just like new toys as much as the next person. And though I'm not saying "Hey, give me your phone", it may be a good idea to start perhaps a weekly giveaway, or a weekly or monthly auction on the phones.. Something so that the phone doesn't have a short life, and others can get their hands on a "slightly used" toy that was mainly being used for review purposes..</p> <p>Anyway, that's just my $.02.. Wait.. change that.. $.01.. I'm too broke to give two cents away right now.. :-) Anyway, I look forward to the reviews, and I hope you'll respond to this in some way so at least I know you've heard my suggestion.</p> <p>-John</p> While I, like everyone else here, would love to continue to read your reviews on each of the phones you have, I’m sure we’re all a bit interested in changing the “recycling program” you currently utilize (i.e. instead of putting them in a the drawer, move them on to another owner perhaps?)

I don’t reckon I’d want to be smelling your feet. I know you change phones often, but thats gotta be at least a month between sock changes!

Please reassure us of your hygiene :-)

I had one before I switched to the Blackjack. Don't toss that s620 too far when you are done with it. According to smartphonethoughts and others - T-Mobile announced that the Dash (aka s620) will be one of the first phones upgradable to Win Mobile 6. So I'm sure that officially or unofficially an unlocked ROM will be available for your phone.</p> <p>Definitely a great phone - had some flakyness w/ the slider - it would freak out on me - flip back and forth etc - almost like a stuck key. Reset would fix it.</p> <p>My only other complaint is kind of like your squeeze test - only I call it the drop test. I didn't think that it would survive the inevitable drop to a hard floor. Solid phone, fantastic battery life etc. I just felt like one good drop and it would be cracked or damaged beyond what I would be happy with.</p> Great phone.
