Who's got the Viper Smart Start?

[yukonjacks]

Ive had samsung then the BB curve and then the BB bold and I have had the iPhone 3gs for a few months and now that it has pics for MMS it kills all others. The bold was my favorite till the iphone got mms. besides the iphone apps are plentyful and a heck of a lot cheaper than crackberry

Oh, Denali? Can't you open a Windows Explorer window and iTunes at the same time, then just drag and drop? That's how I get my stuff onto my iPod, no issues at all.

The only way I've figured out to do that is to create a new playlist, then yeah, you can drag and drop it to iTunes. But, I miss being able to plug my phone into the computer, then using it as a mass storage device and just drag and dropping music straight to it. I would like to bypass iTunes altogether.

Of course, I'm brand new to the whole iphone/itunes thing. Only had it about a week. I'm sure once I get over the learning curve it'll be less frustrating to me.

I liked my Bold, and I'm liking the iphone so far. Not sure which one I'm going to lean toward in a month or so.

easy guys att is losing the iphone contract and im sure version will get it next then hopefully sprint, (well unless att buys the contract again withch they prolly wont because it will be mad expensive and will prolly boost the pice of the iphone,(witch it doesnt need to get higher in cost))

I can't get into specifics due to confidentiality agreements, but this is not true. At least not yet. Do a Google on "iPhone Verizon" and you'll see that there are rumors, nothing specific. Everything right now points to "ain't happening", especially with Verizon's HUGE anti-iPhone-centric ad campaign for the Droid.

If it does come to Vz, it'll be smaller...the CDMA prototypes are seen with a 2.8" screen compared to the 3.5" screen on the 3GS...leading to complaints about the screen. The iPhone 3Gs is capable of 7.2Mbps downloads, but Verizon's network is not capable of that. Verizon's data network is based on EVDO technology, which as of revision B of the EVDO standard has a MAX data rate of 4.9Mbps. This will lead to the same complaints about download speed as there are against AT&T right now. They are planning to move to LTE, which is basically 4G in layman's terms, but in order to do that they have to deploy all new equipment. With Verizon spending so much on FiOS in the Northeast, and falling behind on that deployment due to capital constraints, rest assured that they will not be able to afford to mass upgrade their network to LTE. (Layman's terms: Vz has a 4.8L in their Tahoe right now, and would need to rip it out to put a 6.0 in to get any more speed.)

Bottom line: Even if the iPhone does make it's way to Verizon, it won't perform the same.

One last note: With the release of Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft has specified that any phone running 6.5 MUST have a 3.5" headphone jack, or support one thru an adapter. This is big for me at least, as it means I can play online music sources through my phone with a simple 3.5" connector. If you have an aux in, you can use your phone as an mp3 player for your radio, as well as playing Siruis online, Pandora, etc....

NOW, let's get off the iPhone discussion and back to the Smart Start discussion, shall we?

NOW, let's get off the iPhone discussion and back to the Smart Start discussion, shall we?

haha... well we can as long as everyone aggrees that it's the best phone ever invinted.... lol i love mine and would never ever switch back...

i do have one more smart start question though... does it have a time limit for the auto start? like a shut off after a certain amoun of time, or would it just run all day?

 

[jonlisa97]

Good info, anyone have the Auto-mate?

 

[denalianyone]

I already have the viper 5901 and after looking at the cost of the smart start, I said the hell with it. It runs about the same price as installing my 5901. All I have is the iphone app which was free to download from the app store. Maybe down the line I will add it, yet it is only compatible with the newer versions of the alarm/remote start.
