I have been with Congular a while now & happy with the service - I had
a V400 & was happy with it, but wanted something a little more
different.
I bought a unlocked V80 & love the phone, but didnt know it doesnt
have the 850 frequency.
So, I am using it & it works fine, but it always roams onto the
Tmobile system. I guess that is not a problem, as roaming is free.
The only issue I have so far is setting up for email & downloading
games & ringtones.
I live in Bergen County, NJ & work in Queens, NYC & do quite a bit of
travel - mostly Florida.
My questions:
- Is it OK to use the V80 & always be on Tmobile, or will this be a
problem?
- Will I have more trouble when I travel, what if there is no Tmobile
service - will I have nothing?
- When I check ebay & other sites for hot phones it seems most do not
have the 850 frequency - anyone recommend a HOT cool phone that I can
trade up to - that will have the 850?
- When the merger gets finalized, will I be better off with the V80 or
worse?
Thanks

It's no problem as long as (1) your plan has free roaming and (2) Cingular
keeps the roaming agreement with T-Mobile in place.

That's possible, since there are places where only GSM 850 coverage will be
available.

The soon-to-be-available Motorola V551, which adds EDGE (high speed data)
capability. If you don't need EDGE, check out the cool Motorola V3 Razor.

The same.
