Hey, im in the market for a new picture flip phone but I have been gone for three months and am not sure what phone has the best picture quality as far as mega pixels go any more. I was looking at the new motorola V710 but it got bad reviews. Any one have any input?

Thanks a lot,
Chris

 

i didn't like the 710 when i was a tester for that phone. audiovox 9900 is coming out, and so is the lg 6100. wait for those.

 

I am a Nextel, Sprint, and AT&T dealer. IMO none are very good. DKHL may concur with me on this.

But, first decide what carrier you want to go with. Phones are generally not cross compatible. So, you might find the perfect piece of equipment and it won't work on your carrier's network.

Samsung has done a nice job with some of their picture phones. But, the technology just isn't there yet to get good quality. The files are too large to be sent over the networks. Unfortunately, the carriers (at least today) have sloooow data speeds. It is changing though. Competition with data has really heated up.

Good luck with your search.

my wife works at cingular, and she got a motorola V400. EXCELLENT pic quality. they were having LOTS of problems with the V600, so they discontinued them. i tried out a samsung camera flip phone (can't remember the model #), pic quality sucked.

 

- I gotta wait until maybe nov. for a good hookup for the motorola razr v3... but looks a little diff.. watch videos too.. haha

 

Seeing that you're a subdealer, you should know that Sprint has the 1.3 megapixel phone from Audiovox/Toshiba that has the capabillities to upload(using Vision) to the Sprint website or to any email. The phone is rather cheaper, 299.99 /150 after service credits...Not too shabby for a phone, then again, Sanyo is coming out w/ their BLINGIN phone!!

 

Actually, I am a master dealer. And, even though I'v been in wireless for 15 years, I don't sell any more. I am kept busy with business planning, dealing with the carriers, and advertising. Sadly enough, my product knowledge is weaker than it should be

I worked for Audiovox in 1992-1993 and they had cutting edge products at the time. Of course, Toshiba makes excellent products. I will ask one of my sales managers or sales people what they think.

 

oh, I didn't know there was a master dealer for Sprint in Louisville. Doesn't Nextel go either directly or Brightpoint? And AT&T? dayam you must be pulling out some #'s each month.

 

t mobile has a new phone with supeior picture quality and service... well bellsouth has the service but no phones...

 

I have 3 company owned retail stores, direct B2B sales, and a lot of sub dealers. Furtunately, we are in a Nextel Partners market so I don't have to deal with Brightpoint

With Sprint, I am an SBDN dealer we don't have to stock equipment. It is shipped directly to the customer overnight. We don't do much with them. We do pretty well with Nextel - 50% and AT&T 45%. So, we aren't a Sprint Master dealer.

I also have a warehouse where we wholesale accessories to a relatively small number of accounts. We used to have a substantial wholesale and web fulfillment business. It just kind of died off with weak margins.
