Mountain View Cellphones

Sprint has a great new line up of phones releasing into the Christmas season.  Here is everything new now and going into the near future.

1.  Samsung Rant  (EVDO Rev 0 version of the popular LG Rumor Phone).  Better and slightly bigger in all respects, yet has the same price point of $49.99.  Comes in Red and blue.

2.  LG Lotus.  A great compact flip phone with a QWERTY keyboard.  Purple and Black colos.

3.   HTC Diamond and HTC Touch Pro.  The Touch Pro is a smoking product.  Windows 6.1, virtual keyboard and real keyboard, expandable memory, 3.2 MP camera, AWESOME screen resolution.  It will sell well for those who want the top of the line unit.

4.  Sprint Air RAVE.  Discussed previously, but allows your own cell phone tower at any location with a high speed Internet connection.

5.  Samsung 220 and 320.  New basic phone line up.  The 320 is FREE phone with mail in rebate.  Buy 5 get 5 Free!!! as marketing would say

6.   Samsung Highnote.  This is THE music phone.  It’s much better than the UpStage it replaces and comes with a high quality compact speaker that can fill a room with your beats.  You can bring the party with you anywhere now.  I’m certain some amateur film student will be using this as background music to save time and money during the shoot.

7.  Sanyo Eclipse refresh with One Touch.  Illumination phone…pretty cool looking…otherwise a great multimedia phone that easy to find in your purse.

8.  New Nextel Blackberry.  Curve with a PTT button.  It will be a good device.

This is the best handset line-up Sprint has ever had.  The turnaround is actually producing some very real results now.

One of the common failure points of the new Blackberries are the track balls.  If too much pressured is applied to them, they will break.  There is an interesting system of sensors and rollers that keep the mouse moving (up, down, left, right) and when pressing the button, executes a command.  If pressed to hard the ball will actually break the sensor under it and it will cease to operate.  Barring this extreme damage, sticky or balls that roll only in one or two directions are generally caused by the rollers getting dirty and not rolling anymore.

I don’t know what people put on their thumbs or get on their thumbs and then transfer to their Blackberries, but we see this problem many times in our service center.  For certain, how you fix this problem is to clean the rollers and the track ball. 

Our fix is to disassemble the device carefully, clean the rollers with some rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs, and then waiting for the alcohol to dry before reassembly.  This has worked many times and has been a great solution for a simple problem.  The newer Blackberries have several different parts to disassemble so be patient not to break the pieces.  Just ensure you get the screws out with torque screw drivers before prying the plastic apart with guitar picks or another plastic tool.

Of course, you can always bring your Blackberry to our service center and we can do this for you.  The charge is only $15.00 and you can leave it with us and go get lunch and then come back and get the phone when you are done.

Many Blackberry customers don’t know how good their phone really is.  I hear many complaints about how they can’t use their Blackberry to dial someone’s name in a directory phone tree.  It’s a problem solved long ago by Blackberry but customers who are new to Blackberry haven’t figured it out yet. 

It’s simple.  Just type the letters of the person’s name.  You might need to press the ALT to type the letters but this works in almost every IVR/Dial response system.  This solution is just to easy that Blackberry doesn’t advertise or write about it. 

 So, don’t be afraid of using your Blackberry when you need to dial a persons name into the phone.  Just spell the name out and the Blackberry is smart enough to convert this into the proper 1 to 9 numbers for the system you are working with on the other end. 

We have a great JVM error fix for the Nextel Blackberry 7100i and the Nextel Blackberry 7520.  The first step to fix it is the wipe the handheld using your desktop manager and re-install the Blackberry radio software.  Read the rest of this entry »
