Feature for feature your list is right, but how is the data plan cheaper? They are the same, ATT uses one plan for all 3G smartphones.

He's likely going to add Media Net to a cheaper phone, then switch SIMs.

Oh ok. I thought ATT phased media net out unless you are grandfathered, or am I mistaken?

 

[Pearl_Diva]

What're they calling the data plan for basic phones now? I still see Media Net.

I use the 15 dollar a month unlimited data plan

nope, but I'm sure the cab from the sprint version will probably work

heres a side by side youtube clip of the fuze & the sprint tp.... at around the 9 min mark the reviewer discusses the lack of the youtube app

I read in one of these forums that the Fuze has the Youtube exe in the Windows directory, but that AT&T removed the shortcut in the Programs directory.

Question: Is the Fuze suppose to have a YouTube app?

It does but there is no shortcut to it. If you use the file explorer you can go to \Windows\youtube.exe and launch it. You can make a short cut with totalcommander. Lemme know if u need help with that.

I could've sworn I read they were phasing out media net, but I probably misunderstood. Carry on!

The iPhone is the product of the best marketing campaign ever created for a mobile device and its perception as the successor to the iPod. Beyond that, it's a two-handed single-tasking OS (think Tungsten X) that will have tremendous success because of the developer partnerships Apple has secured based on its momentum.

SLOW CLAP... well put skfny, I don't dislike Apple in the least... nor do I snub people for owning an iphone. But that is a perfect explanation in a nice little package.

AT&T MediaNet vs. PDA Personal

I use the 15 dollar a month unlimited data plan

I am about to switch to the AT&T, coming from Sprint. What is the difference between AT&T's MediaNet plan and their PDA Personal plan?

And please don't say "about $15.00 a month."

But seriously, from everything I can see, the MediaNet plan offers everything the PDA Personal plan does at half the price. Am I missing or overlooking something?

And perhaps most importantly, can I use the MediaNet plan with the Fuze?

But that's the best answer!
I've yet to see any difference between the two plans. I was on the MediaNet Unlimited plan for two years and got screwed when I bought the Epix to test.

The Customer Rep saw the MediaNet plan and boosted me to the PDA plan. I was going to change back online when I got home but AT&T has really cracked down on the plans that I don't have any data plans other than the PDA available. I think they are tying it into the SIM card identifiers.

AT&T's party line is that they can't guarantee you that the MediaNet plan on a WM Device will work properly. Yet, I've run the Treo Pro, Treo 750, Treo 680, Samsung BlackJack II, and Motorola Q9h with no problems on the MediaNet plan.

I wish they'd cut the difference and have a unlimited data plan for everyone that ran $20 a month.

 

[Pearl_Diva]

I believe you can use ISP access points on the PDA plan though. Not just proxy or WAP.

I agree it's mainly a rip off though.
