Yeah no shit... the cameras suck, the Vision system sycks, the text messaging system sucks... hopefully they'll revise those too.

The cameras did suck, the new VGA1000 has a great camera, the text messaging does suck extremely but with readylink that will go the way of the past, vision does not suck, I think you just need to get a firmware upgrade on your phone to take advantadge of it. My old N400 sucked with vision, had to have it replaced and the new one works sooooo much better. They are going to empliment the new vision version sometime next yr(it is going to be 4-5 times as fast and allow streaming)

sprint still has lousy customer service and a crappy website. i was using pay by check online about 4 months ago and missed a digit on my banks routing number. after a few days i noticed my they never took money out of my account. so i called them, they said my routing # was off so i paid by my bill (way ahead of time) w/ my debit card.

well next month rolls around and i go online to pay by check and see that it's been disabled and i can only pay by credit/debit card. no biggie, i go to pay w/ me credit card and it's declined through the web because my address on my card doesn't match their billing address.

my address is in this form:

RT 123 Box 456
Paris, TX 75462

but they won't accept it because it has the word box in it and they think it's a P.O. Box. so they have my address as being.

456
Paris, TX 75462

anyways, for the last 4 months i've had to call in my debit card and let them run it manually (which takes like 20 minutes).

What I don't get is I had a phone 7 years ago that offered phone to phone text messaging for free! Why can't they offer that now?

Yeah the Vision serivce had suck. I changed my number and my plan today to a non-vision plan just because I never use it any more.

On a side note what are a couple of the sites that you can use to convert an MP3 to a ring tone?

[98EX]

Erik you first have to convert it to a wav file hten to a qcp file. both programs can be found at www.3gupload.com

you need to convert your wav file to certain format. i don't remember the attributes/rates it needs to be of hand, but it should tell you in the conversion software.

[98EX]

Erik, take the wav file and drag and drop it right into the purevoice program(don't try double clicking it cause that does nothing) once you drop it onto that program it will spit out a new file with teh same name .qcp instead of .wav.

[98EX]

This is teh file format that the wav file must be to work as a qcp file

PCM 8.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono

Give me a bit and I will get you a link to a great program that will let you convert the wav into that format then you can convert the wav into a qcp file.
