i870 has a built in MP3 player, which is nice



however,

i930 has windows on it and a shitload of other features

get a phone for talking, get a PSP or MP3 player for everthing else.

more shit on phone = more power used = shitty battery life =

even if i am online, talking on aim, playing virtual pool, and listening to music im still going to get a day out of the battery

also, I believe the 930 has a full size SD port whereas the 870 uses that transflash thing

it hot syncs to outlook if you use that much

12/7/2005 6:30:55 PM

also synchs to your wmplayer library if you use it.

if you want a phone that can do more stuff than just make calls, get a smartphone.

if you just want a phone that makes calls get whatever phone comes free with the plan.

yeah at first i would drag and drop audio but now i have my top played list auto synch
i got a card reader though cause writing through the phone isnt always the fastest, but i can add that as a device just the same

when i get some free time im gonna write a script for mass converting whatever video files to .wmvs scaled down to the screen size.

i need a new program for ripping dvd's so i can then use windows encoder

12/7/2005 7:04:20 PM

^ that's illegal

12/7/2005 7:08:55 PM

i dont really care
i should be able to watch movies i buy wherever i want

Just FYI:
The i930 has to be de-certified before you can load most windows apps onto it...you can find more info on that process at the following URL:
http://www.rebreathertech.com/decert/decert.htm
or at Howardforums.com here:
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306
The i930 can also be unlocked to work with other US GSM providers...
The i870 is a good phone if you don't need all of the smartphone features...
Let me know if you have any questions about Nextel phone software modding

unless things have changed since i last looked at the specs the i930 doesnt have the right bands for us gsm providers

and i thought most providers started shipping devices taht didnt need to be de-certified. i know cingular did

Again I invite you to read the above links...you will find out the i930 can be used here in the US



[Quote]and i thought most providers started shipping devices taht didnt need to be de-certified. i know cingular did[/Quote]

"Most Providers" does not include Sprint Nextel...Again if you had read the above links you would have found out why most i930 owners were upset that at first Sprint Nextel locked the i930 owners into using only apps certified by Sprint Nextel....believe it or not there is a BIG haxxor iden community and a few of these phone geeks got together and found out how to not only de-certifiy the i930 but also unlock it for US as well as international GSM use...hope this helps!
