Does this phone come with a full html browser?

Re: T-mobile Motorola Cliq Now Available

Miguel Nunez — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:38:59 -0000

The Cliq will undoubtedly be reduced to $149.99 soon. The question is when. I can't see the Cliq comfortably being at the same price point as the Motorola Droid, given the far superior specs of the Droid. Granted, I think Verizon phones are always $50-$100 cheaper than they "should be". But Verizon can afford this since the company is making an extra $1200 a year more than T-Mobile does from the customer.

What sucks is that I plan on purchasing the Cliq for my fiance and her birthday is coming up in 2 weeks. I doubt we will see a price drop by then...

@userfriendlyme

Ummm.. the Cliq is nice but it has essentially the same specs as the G1, except it has some more rom and ram and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It would not be worth a G1 user to upgrade.

Seems like everyone here is on the fence waiting for the same thing... better hardware like the Droid or the Infinity.

Re: Please Let This Be Real

I'm usually not one that jumps from carrier to carrier just to get the latest and greatest. However, I will say that I am considering jumping to Verizon just for the Droid. I've had my G1 for a year and lack of power under the hood, and horrendous battery life, is really getting to be an issue.

I could endure it if at least I heard of a high end device coming to T-Mobile, but even the Sony Infinity, which is being announced tomorrow, isn't likely to hit the U.S. anytime soon, nevermind T-Mobile. We simply haven't had any reliable information stating that a Droid-like device will be coming to T-Mobile. The Cliq is nice, but it's, basically the same as the G1 with more memory and a 3.5mm jack, and Moto Blur.

The problem with Verizon is price. I ran the numbers on BillShrink and Verizon comes out a full $1200 dollars more over 2 years for the same features I have now! Sure, the Verizon network is better, but to be honest, I have only rarely ever found myself without signal on the Tmo network where I roll...

Re: T-Mobile Motorola Cliq Ad Surfaces

I wish TMOnews would clarify that the Cliq is only available for pre-order to existing customers AS AN UPGRADE. It is not available to existing customers who wish to add a line to their account. T-Mobile treats new lines as new customers.

So if you have a been a customer of T-Mobile for a a long time, and you want to get the Cliq for your significant other by adding a line on your account, your out-of-luck until Nov 2.

Re: Project Dark: Old vs New [Comparison Charts!]

Miguel Nunez — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:11:21 -0000

While the pricing may be competitive on some plans, Tmo is advertising this as 1/2 off the rates of the other major carriers. I don't see a 50% savings.

This is not a game-changer. A game changer would have been to break there entire product into 1 or 2 plans, and both plans would have unlimited calling and text, while the other would have unlimited calling, text, and web. That would be a game changer.

But look at that chart above! What average Joe is going to take the time to try to decipher all that? And that's comparing the new rates to Tmo's old rates. Imagine comparing it to Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T, with there different structure.

Re: Project Dark, Again

These don't look like great deals to me.

People are looking at the "Even More Plus" plans and forgetting that the monthly payment you are seeing doesn't factor in the "financing" of the handset which you would have to purchase at FULL RETAIL.

i.e. the MyTouch3G costs you $499.00 at FULL Retail. Even if T-Mobile allows you to finance it over 20 months, which is still not confirmed, then your looking at adding $22 a month onto your monthly amount, not including any sales tax.

Re: Big T-Mobile Annoucements & The Mysterious “Project Black”

Miguel Nunez — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:13:02 -0000

It's also possible that Apple has been secretly been working on another smartphone and will launch it with T-Mobile. It will be different enough from the iPhone to avoid the iPhone exclusivity agreement with AT&T.

Apple has been known to keep things more secret than the Pentagon, so it wouldn't surprise me if they shocked the world. Could an iPhone-like device with a QWERTY keyboard be in the works... hmmmm.

Of course this all means nothing if the exclusivity agreement with AT&T specifically bans Apple, or any subsidiary, from manufacturing any wireless device, whatever they all it, for any other carrier for the duration of the agreement.

Re: Big T-Mobile Annoucements & The Mysterious “Project Black”

Miguel Nunez — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:26:13 -0000

"Project Black" is most likely a new 3G Blackberry coming to T-Mobile.. whoppeee! .

Who cares about another Crapberry? The Blackberry OS is great for business users who want efficiency. How is 3G going to help a BB when the OS is not designed to be bogged down streaming video etc. The BB OS is trash compared to the capabilities of the Apple iPhone OS and Android OS.

I sure hope this doesn't mean that T-Mobile is moving away from Android because I will definitely jump ship for Verizon and pick up the Droid there.

Re: Important Info For Sidekick Users

Miguel Nunez — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:57:53 -0000

Looks like the Motorola Cliq projected sales numbers are going to be pretty good after this debacle. Why is the Sidekick even relevant anymore with phones like the Cliq coming down the pike?

Motorola is gonna sell the Cliq like Hot cakes!

And this isn't Tmo's fault. They are screwed in this situation.

Re: Galaxy Lite Shows Itself, Again…

Miguel Nunez — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:46:36 -0000

Another garbage phone. No flash. Small screen and non-AMOLDED. Small amount of internal memory. Probably uses the same 528Mhz Qualcomm processor as all the others.

What's new here?

Meanwhile the iPhone continues to mock all Android phones with its superior hardware.

Why can't a company just clone the iPhone, rip the Apple OS out of it, put Android in, and sell it for $400.00?

Re: Will Motorola Be Relevant Tomorrow?

Miguel Nunez — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:57:22 -0000

I cannot stand Motorola products because they are horrendously unreliable in terms of quality. They simply fail, all the time. It's difficult to make an unreliable cell phone, which has no moving parts. Yet Moto managed to do just that with the Razr and countless Nextel phones.

Not to mention that I have always hated their UI, but Android should fix that.

So unless they fix their quality issues, I'll stick to Android on HTC.

Is the charger USB? I hate Samsung phones because they always require their proprietary charger, while nearly every other manufacturer has switched to USB, which comes in handy because you can charge from a PC or use virtually any other USB charger.

Is it in the Market? Because I searched for "Pandora" and came up empty.

Re: Windows Mobile Still Sucks

Miguel Nunez — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:27:24 -0000

The only thing holding Anroid back is hardware. HTC is stingy with the hardware. Then they open it up a little bit with the Hero, and give it to Sprint... WTF!!

G1 is a great phone, it just lags sometimes because of the hardware, depending on what you have installed to run in the background.

Re: Reminder: Overage Charges Increasing

Miguel Nunez — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:53:27 -0000

Consumerist is reporting a much tougher time in cancelling. Then-again, they are also reporting that prior overage charges or the letter from T-Moble are not necessary.

My question is, can I cancel one line on my Family plan using this? Or do I have to cancel them all? My account did have overages.

Re: HTC Touch Pro 2 Pricing Revealed

Miguel Nunez — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:13:46 -0000

How is the phone better than the G1? Buy a G1 for $149.99, and buy one of the many Exchange apps out there from the Android Market.. and you have a phone that has a better UI, a pretty good keyboard, full integration with Google Voice, and that will only get better and better over time, for FREE!

Re: Partial unboxing + TP2 = Success

Miguel Nunez — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:54:23 -0000

HTC Hero = Free w/ 2 Year Agreement T-Mobile UK

HTC MyTouch3g = $199 w/ 2 year Agreement T-Mobile USA

Anyone else see a problem here?

Meh....

Re: Partial unboxing + TP2 = Success

Miguel Nunez — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:36:02 -0000

It's free to me if there is no cash coming out of my pocket for the phone. Obviously, we all know that the carrier subsidizes the price, so it's not "free", but it is for the subscriber.

The point of my post is that the Hero is a better phone and can be had for free through T-Mobile UK, yet T-Mobile USA decided to sell the MyTouch3G (dumb dumb name)for 100% higher price (when you factor currency)than the Hero. Do I need to point out that this is the same price as the iPhone 3GS as well? The iPhone 3GS blows the specs of the MT3G out of the water.

Re: Video Placebo: Is that Really HDTV You Are Watching?

Miguel Nunez — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 09:36:13 -0000

In fact the FCC is mandating HDTV, not just "digital" transmission. By March 1, 2007 all TVs of all sizes must be only receive HDTV signals. SDTV will be eliminated. Older TV sets will need a converter to convert the signal from DTV to analog.
