Props for the slick form factor, but doesn't make WinMob any better.]]>Sep 11th 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/
I can see where you're coming from, but I don't know, dude. I've never really had a problem selecting what I want on the screen with nigh 100% accuracy using just my finger (my big, fat thumb actually). I don't have to be ginger about it either. I'm just dextrous, I guess -- I thank the years of video gaming for the hand-eye coordination ;^).

Also, I found an amazingly good (and free) contact list replacement called PocketCM (www.pocketcm.com).

Oh, btw, "e.g." means "for example", I think you wanted to say "i.e." (which means "in other words").]]>Sep 11th 2007 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/

Q1: January-March
Q2: April-June
Q3: July-September
Q4: October-December

This may be different when talking about accounting purposes, but the above is what I took away from it, so expect these in the next 1-3 months!]]>Sep 11th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/
Best phone available in Q4 will still be the iPhone
A distant second best phone is the Motorola RAZR 2 -- which is really a $50 phone ..since it's only useful for SMS & phone not web.

To compete with the iPhone they need to top the iPhone's screen resolution (bump up to at least 800 px width). Add video conferencing/live video share. And GPS.

Otherwise don't even bother .. just cost under $40 and have SMS and phone capability.

...and i'm a long time (7 year) Sprint loyalist. I'm still on sprint, and plan to stay here, regardless of how appealing the iPhone may be.

It's just too bad Sprint's phone lineup is so freakin' boring. Come on now. When is the "iPhone Killer" going to be announced? (no doubt we'll see a string of one after another being outed as the iPhone killer, eventually.)]]>Sep 11th 2007 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/
It's exactly the same reason that people who call certain Samsungs or HTC's "iPhone-ripoffs" are talking out of their rear-ends. There is no way a company could bring that kind of device to market so soon. It would need to have been in the works for a long time.

I'm not trying to give excuses for Sprint's lineup (though, I actually think that the the Sprint lineup of today is much better relative to the market as a whole than it was 5 yrs ago). I also think that the success of the iPhone will end up expediting changes that were already taking place in the market (which Apple kind of smashed to the forefront). However, the it's still going to take a little while for that change to really appear.]]>Sep 11th 2007 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/If it turns out the Touch is better though, i'm definatley going to get that. The Rumor looks hot too... hopefully the processors on all these phones can handle Windows Mobile, the Q was terrible.]]>Sep 11th 2007 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 11th 2007 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 12th 2007 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 12th 2007 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Sep 13th 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Oct 14th 2007 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/sprints-q4-lineup-rumor-centro-touch-and-pearl-8130/Oct 18th 2007 1:20AM
