Mon, 25 Mar 2002 15:14:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - For any of you who've read my reviews on the other wireless carriers, I've had positive experiences with almost of them, except Sprint PCS (many dropped calls). I'm currently using Voicestream for the following reasons: call clarity; cost; and...

Motorola Timeport 280: Motorola P280: Voicestream's IStream Phone

Tue, 13 Nov 2001 18:33:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - It's finally here. A 2.5G phone that uses GPRS for data access. Hence, you pay only for the amount of data you access, not for the time spent on line. Voicestream has introduced a couple of Motorolas for their newly launched IStream network, which...

Fri, 12 Oct 2001 11:03:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Having owned a Motorola Iden I85, using Nextel, I wasn't a stranger to this type of phone. I loved the I85, and hoped that something like it would be available on Verizon's network. Also, it resembles the Sanyo 4500/4700, on Sprint PCS's network,...

Wed, 10 Oct 2001 17:10:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - I deviated from my normal course of purchasing a cell phone from a Verizon retail location, and actually went to Radio Shack to purchase this phone. I originally saw this beauty on CNET, where it was advertised as being available to the public this...

Audiovox CDM 9155 GPX: It's Almost Perfect...

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 10:38:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - COSMETICS

Although it's sleek, thin and capable of faceplate replacement, it still lacks the panache of other Verizon phones currently on the market. For cell owners who prefer a non-flip style phone, this is acceptably aesthetically...

Ericsson T19LX: Believe it or not, it sounds great!

Thu, 23 Aug 2001 12:47:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Something happened to me along the way to the perfect cell phone forum... It's turned out that every Ericsson phone I've used has far exceeded my expectations. That includes the R-289LX (despite its bulkiness), the T28 (despite it having no analog...

Panasonic ProMax EB-TX210: Panasonic EB-TX210: An Affordable, Sleek, AT&T Phone

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 13:38:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - If you like the look of the Sanyo SCP-6000, currently available for Sprint PCS service, then you'll like the Panasonic TX210. Both are slim, although the Sanyo is ultra-thin. Both sport a silvery, white exterior, and both are products of Japanese...

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 12:01:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - With hundreds of opinions already rendered on this phone, why do I want to add another? Simple. This phone is worthy of praise.

If you're looking for a phone w/all of the bells and whistles (e.g., voice activated dialing, internet...

Sic Semper Tyrannis - VA is for lovers!

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 10:05:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - For more than 17 years I've reveled in the splendor known as Virginia. Its history, both good and bad, is a thing of marvel, beginning with the first English settlement in the United States, Jamestown. Traveling up the peninsula, you arrive at...

Motorola V120c: The V120c: The V60c's Big Cousin

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 10:58:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - I've written an opinion about the Motorola V60c, which applies, almost in total, to the V120c, except for a few items.

First, the V120c really is the "big cousin" to the V60c. The only missing feature of value is the calendar, which may be...

Motorola V60c: Motorola V60c: Ultracompact in Size, But Not in Quality

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 12:54:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Yup. I had to get this phone, and no, I don't regret it. Since there's only one real negative about this phone, let me state it up front -- the price. Otherwise, Motorola has hit the mark in almost every category.

Sound quality?...

Nextel Mobile Phone Service in Washington/Baltimore: Nextel: How My Business Gets Done

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 10:16:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Nextel had business in mind when they developed their service. Their coverage is solid, where they claim there's coverage, phone calls rarely, if ever drop, and the sound quality is exceptional. They lack rural coverage, however, and their activation...

AT&T Mobile Phone Service in Washington/Baltimore: AT&T Wireless: A Solid Carrier w/Improving Capacity

Thu, 17 May 2001 09:55:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Back in 1996, I started out using AT&T Wireless. This was before they introduced the Digital One Rate plans. Their service was unsurpassed.

Later, with the introduction of Digital One Rate, their system was taxed, leading to a virtual...

Earthlink, Not Cable Linked

Thu, 3 May 2001 15:04:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Over the course of the last 5 years I've tried a number of ISPs. Earthlink, by far, has been my favorite because of its dependability, features, and intuitive start and home pages.

Rarely I have ever experienced a dropped connection. My...

Nextel i1000: A Solid Nextel Phone

Wed, 2 May 2001 09:57:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - For any of you who've read my other cellular reviews, here's a surprise... I switched from Verizon to Nextel because of: 1) Sound quality; 2) I wanted the Motorola i1000 plus phone; 3) speakerphone capability and 4) one second billing after the first...

LGIC LG-TM510: Small Phone, Big Punch

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 09:32:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Verizon (actually LG on behalf of Verizon) took the Sprint Touchpoint 1100, made it trimode and painted it black. Hence, a great phone on a great network.

Its size (smaller than a Motorola StarTac, yet bigger than the Motorola V60c) is...

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 11:19:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - For any of you who've read my other reviews, I've ended up, full circle, w/AT&T Wireless for a while. Why? I wanted their unlimited internet access on a wireless phone, without it going against my voice minutes, and their extensive, seamless coverage...

Sanyo SCP-4500: Bigger is Better...At least w/the Sanyo 4500

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 11:18:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Folks:

My trek through the wireless world continues. Having been a Verizon, AT&T, Nextel and Sprint PCS customer, I've ended up, once again w/Sprint PCS and, now, the Sanyo 4500. Why you ask? Verizon has the best coverage, but so-so call...

Motorola V8160

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 15:21:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Folks: First of all, I'm a dedicated consumer to Verizon Wireless. Nothing beats them. With that said, my wife and I own the Motorola StarTac 7868 (Trimode/Dualband) and the V8160 (Dualmode/Dualband). We use the 7868 for calling outside of our...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Folks: For almost 2 years, I've been jumping from one ISP to another thinking that their service was horrible. In reality, it was my modem. I replaced my Motorola SM56 Voicemodem with a Zoom Dualmode 56k Faxmodem. What a difference this modem has...

Fri, 28 Apr 2000 12:28:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karentonyjake - Let's face it folks, a perfect wireless carrier has yet to exist. After trial and error with AT&T, Sprint PCS, Nextel, Cingular, and Verizon, I'd have to say that all of them have both redeeming and bad qualities with respect to their service. The...
