New phone.. and it's not an Android... =O

IOWA

Mr. Logic Pants
:eek::eek:

So I got the Kyrocera Duramax for work.. got another 12 days to put it through the ringer and decide if I want to keep it or not. First impressions are kind of meh, and I may just switch it out for the admiral... We'll see!

Anyone else have Direct Connect?
 
Since I had never heard of that before, I had to google it... (Google Image actually, yes I'm that lazy ;)).

To my horror, it's a flip-phone? Not even a smartphone?! IOWA, snap out of it! :p


...at least it can resist solar radiations!
 
Calm down, maybe he wants a super tough back up phone for work, or roaming through Harlem, lol. A backslide this extreme, there must be an explanation.

Edit: I need to read more carefully. I just realized he did say it was for work.

I know, but still... :p

It sure seems sturdy though.
 
Flip phones are cool.....in 1995!

The Admiral looks way better than a phone named after a car battery.

I mis-read that as "android forums- Grope intervention for IOWA" LOL
That's a different kind of intervention
:p
 
And it went back. Voice quality was crap when talking to older iDen phones via Direct Connect (which was the sole purpose of the device) so its back to my i576.

I must say though when using it to direct connect with CDMA series it was very clear, so after the transition im very hopeful for a new line of DC phones. Rumor has it Sprint is making a downloadable DC app for Android phones... which would be nice.. i wouldnt have to carry two phones any more.

I thought about getting the admiral but right now the dev community is zero and it has yet to be rooted...
