Release schedule for Cricket Phones

And btw, the lingo is a piece of crap. So disappointed with it, the Kyocera rep was in my store about 2 weeks ago with it. Feels so cheap and flimsy. Why can't Cricket pair up with LG and bring us a Cricket EnV?
 
yes lingo is on brightpoint dealers have allocation. i place an order today so hopefully will get in tomorrow.

mini- I think I posted the specs before but...
vga camera
bluetooth
super small.
that pretty much sums it up

as far as the lingo goes, the one i took a look at felt pretty solid. it was a pre-production model and was still missing the bit that covers the camera. so we'll have to wait and see how the quality on the production models is, but i think that the quality on the kyocera's improved significantly with the k323 and hopefully this one will start a trend.
i did think the thing about the battery cover was a little odd, but it doesn't really matter, and i understand the reasoning.
the more i think about it the more i realize i NEVER use the mp3 functionality on either of my phones. i may end up with this one by the end of the year.

ok. i got em both in. played with the lingo first.. so far, i am thoroughly UNIMPRESSED. This phone is the quality of the old kyocera's. not the same level as the K323 is. The phone feels weak, like it would break easy. it need more metal parts. if it was heavier it would feel a lot better. also the chromed out navigation buttons on the outside and inside are a bad idea. fingerprint magnets big time!
 
Also, The M1000 will transfer files through the bluetooth, which is nice.

I have now had a chance to play with the Mini. The screen quality is a little poor on it (both external and internal), comes with a demo version of midnight pool and i was not impressed by the screen when i tried it out. Also, this one will NOT transfer files through bluetooth. It supports ONLY HeaRABet and HanRABfree profiles. But it is slightly smaller than the u340 in all dimensions.
 
i said this a long time ago, well before you started posting in this forum, i'll take an enV fully functional any day over the lingo. the biggest issue for me is i don't want to pay for one.
 
i find them for 150 on ebay all the time. i don't understand why people pay so much for these cricket phones. i bought 3 moguls on ebay for 250 each.
