Am thinking about updating phones

I presently have a Motorola E815 and have found it to be an
outstanding phone. Presently I am researching phones on
phonescoop.

1. Mot v750 Flip
2. Mot Z6c Slide
3. Mot Z6tv Slide

#3 was rated the highest but probably because it had the TV
They also look quite alike also. But I would have no use for
the TV either.

I am leaning more to the Z6c over the V750 as I have no use
for the PTT feature and the Z6c does have an antenna port if
I can find an adapter for it as there are none listed on
WilsonElectronics.com.....

Any comments regarding the Z6c? My old phone is over 3 years
of age and is probably due to be replaced.

Thanks for any comments regarding my selection or problems
with the Z6c?

Lee

My first two cell phones lasted about five years each! In both cases
the battery started to fail. If you just want to stimulate the economy,
pick out a phone and plunk down your money. I'll keep mine as long as
it works!

Re: Am thinking about updating phones

Darn Richard, I was looking for encouragement to justify my getting a
new phone! The new every 2 is free so it does not cost all that
much and was thinking about keeping the E815 as a backup spare in case
the new one broke down and hey it will always dial 911 in case of
emergency or give it to the shelter for abused women! Darn !!!! (grin)

Is a "New every two" phone REALLY free? Or do you have to sign or
extend a contract with Verizon Wireless?

Even with newer bells and whistles...it's hard to beat the E815. Keep it a
little longer.

Re: Am thinking about updating phones

You should keep your E815 and flash it to Bell Mobility firmware. It will
give you access to Java programs and a non-Verizon UI, but you will still be
on Verizon's network!

Re: Am thinking about updating phones

You might not need to sign an extended contract anymore, as VZW is offering
month-to-month plans for everybody now (of course, it would not have a NE2,
but you are not stuck in a long-term contract either).

Re: Am thinking about updating phones

Hi Richard

No it is a contract renewal for sure, heck I am almost
2 years now over contract so what is the difference.
Almost anywhere I go the phone works. I bought Verizon
for its coverage. Had AT&T at one time but it was not
as good.

Lee (OK what is TANSTAAFL)

Yes, it is.

> Or do you have to sign or extend a contract with Verizon Wireless?


Yes, for EXACTLY the same price as not getting a new phone.

You've had this explained to you before, Richard, why are you unable to
understand it?
