New Samsung Spex

[Rav]

Cricket has a new basic phone, the Samsung Spex. No camera, music, or voice dialing, but it does have Bluetooth. Anyone have this phone yet? How do you like it? How are the features, call clarity, and Bluetooth?

Thanks!

i think this thing comes out to be either 50 or 60 dollars after some rebate and if i were to have to get a cheap fone asap id get this over the cricket EZ i dnt even kno the brand of the EZ and ive seen it the pos looks so gay... so... yea i think its pretty good that cricket is releasin some cheap fonez that arent all kyocera n utstarcom.. basically i have a pretty good expectation from this thing.

Yeah is $119.99 with a 50 instant rebate and then a 20 mail in rebate. Phone is definetly way better than the EZ. Phone atleast has speaker phone, Bluetooth capable it even has FTP( file transfer protocol), and you can use in the new AWS markets plus you can set to vibrate then ring something which the EZ lacks :befuddled (made by some company named Cal-comp)
Then people say Cricket makes crappy phones, cricket is just the service go complain to Cal-comp or Kyocera Lol

Does anyone have ideas about how long that $50 deal on this thing will last? I'm thinking this would be a good time for me to pick one up to use when I'm in Vegas.

Thanks!

I'm seeing some contradictions between statements:

"$50 instant and $20 MIR can be corabined for final price of $49.99"
"This $50 instant rebate on Samsung R210 Spex cannot be corabined with the $20 instant rebate for $45 or higher rate plan running in participating markets"

Since I have the $50 plan, does that mean that I can only save $50 on this phone, rather than $70?

They have a promotion some markets were when you hooked anyone up on the $45 plan or higher they were giving a 20 instant rebate on any phone except EZ, i guess what they're trying to say is that you cant give another 20 off that $69.99 after instant on that R210 Spex. Your only eligible for the rebate with a new nuraber otherwise they gonna sell it to you at $119.99

Hm, it's looking like I just may stay on the lookout for a deal on CraigsList or eBay. Thanks for all the information.

 

[BeiibeeGiirl]

I've heard that it should be down to $29 (after $20 rebate) tomorrow (Friday).

 

[B Dawgg]

i'm pretty sure the $29.99 is referring to the EZ, it may be different in AWS markets since the EZ is not sold there.

 

[diaamondsforeyes]

In Oklahoma City The Phone Went Down To 29.99 After Mail In Rebate As Of Today!!!

EDIT: THIS IS IN LAS VEGAS ALSO

 

[Carla-Leigh]

yes, like i said only in the new AWS markets since the do not have the P.O.S. EZ

 

[thethinker234]

correct but the south texas market and the STL market are still at 49.99

 

[Fuzzy Hat]

ahh... same here... after mail in rebate.

 

[~HEaRts~]

I am holding off on buying any new phones until the micro usb charger becomes the standard. I don't want any more variety of chargers floating around my place or car anymore and am sick of it

 

[Chocolategirl]

even tho all the makers have said they are going to have one standered for that i dont think you will see it until like 2010 if they even do it lol

 

[Iria]

you will be waiting a long time....

Gonna be heading into vegas for a few days, with a v3m and a hue, obviously no aws 1700 cdma on those...

How much is the spex running in corporate stores ? (I have a few $10 off vegas launch coupons)... I may just pick one up if the price is low enough, and coupons stack.

I have tried calling 4 or 5 stores... rings 3-4 times and then voicemail...

I may ending up loading up nam2 as pageplus prepaid to save on roaming
