Gizmodo : T-Mobile’s SDA Music Smartphone
Gizmodo reviews the new T-Mobile SDA Music Smartphone, praising its SD card slot and built-in music control buttons, and commenting:
“Phones aren’t going to kill the iPod quite yet, but with a couple gig SD card and a decent interface, there’s no reason they shouldn’t kill flash players. ”
I bought an iPod Mini a couple of weeks back (and intend to block on it this weekend), and have previously written about the death of the iPod (and frankly, all single function devices) at the hands of cell phones…
I’ll leave it there for tonight; I want Mini in my life a few more days before I cast my verdict…
To anyone thinking about using t-mobile: DON’T They are the biggest customer service nightmare EVER! They certainly aren’t a mom and pop shop…they are a ruthless big business out for their only sustenance…$$$$. Beware t-mobile users…you may be charged for services that don’t even apply for your phone. The kicker…t-mobile recommends the services! They cheat people out of $$$$ month after month for services people may not even be able to use. I recently found out after months of calls to customer support and tech support with questions to why my phone had not been working properly. I received excuses like: “You need to contact Motorola to set up your phone, not t-mobile”, “you’re not getting internet because of the hurricane that recently hit”, or “you can’t set up email because your email provider doesn’t accommodate the functionality”…to no avail. No solution was made….until I called a tech support who informed me that I was actually paying a service that isn’t compatible for my phone! Then, just to kick me in the face…after months of frustrations…I would not be getting reimbursement for their mistake…and I would have to suck it up. Not a Mom and Pop….indeed. Where is there sense of fairness? Or sincerity? In the end: WHATEVER YOU DO…DON’T USE T-MOBILE…they’ll screw you out of every penny you’ve got.
