Title: Need help on picking new moto phone
Post by: cmp007 on April 15, 2009, 08:00:53 am
So right now I have a Rokr Z6 and I've had it for almost a year and hate it and its finally messing up enough and ready to ebay a new one. My main concern is ringtones and stuff like that. I have always made my own ringtones and with this phone it does not allow me to apply my own as ringtone. I was looking into a razr (not sure what model). I checked out the alltel site and they have the new Razr VE20 but there's no info on it here. Does anyone know if I will have a problem with the Razr's with making my own ringtones and if so what models can I do it with? I would like to stay away from having to use p2k tools and modding it.

Z6 allow you to apply your own ringtones.... I think Razr VE20 is available for US market only.

I have the Z6m now and have had another Rokr model and I cannot add anything I dont download from the phone as my ringtone. I have tried everything. And I hate this phone and want a different one anyways but want to make sure the next one I get I dont get stuck with this same problem.

If I have a ringtone I make and do not buy from real tone jukebox or whatever it wont let me apply it as a ringtone on my phone. If I transfer it to the phone directly or to the sd card it doesn't have the "apply as" and I'm not able to make and use my own ringtones. So just trying to make sure my next phone does not have that problem. This is the first phone I've had that has done that

The Zn5 looks sweet but alltel doesn't carry them. Alltel is crappy and doesn't have any cool phones. There's the v3/v9/ve20 razr, some PDA smart phones but dont wanna spend the money on those so not gonna worry with them. But really all they have are the different models of razr's I figured I was stuck with one. Trying to find the best model and make sure I wont have the ringtone problem.

get a V9 I guess..... since it is more popular and you can get help from others if you have any problem with it....

Your Z6 is Operator branded so it won't allow you to apply mp3 as ringtones.So,you have to debrand it.

Post by: Joka X on April 17, 2009, 01:09:14 am
I must ask, V9 or V9m?


Title: Re: Need help on picking new moto phone
Post by: Polar_BearXL on April 17, 2009, 02:56:13 am
Go for V9, it's okay if you take the V9m, it's great phone after all


Title: Re: Need help on picking new moto phone
Post by: cmp007 on April 17, 2009, 07:09:16 am
Whats really the difference in the v9 and v9m? Seems like when I eBay for alltel only the v9m shows up so I dunno if I can get just the v9

I was gonna get rid of the z6 cause I just hate the phone. Is the "m" the model or something that is the problem with modding it and stuff? And I guess the v9m the same way as the z6m?

hmm... probably.... but you can try to mod it after you bought the phone.....

maybe e790 is same branded with rokr e1. rokr e1 is the official name for both moto phone (rokr e1 and rokr e790)
