My dad is on Cellular South and looking to get a new phone. They have a Milestone with a slide out keyboard and I was wondering if it is a good device. Is the Milestone Cellular South's version of the Droid I am guessing?

The milestone is a great, although aging, device.
It is the GSM version of the Droid...almost identical.
But for a non-poweruser, the age will not show at all.
If your dad has any problems with it, just come back here and we tell you had to fix it

I am pretty sure this Milestone Cellular South offers is a CDMA model with a slide out keyboard, just like the Droid... not a GSM phone. A buddy of mine has a Hero with Cellular South and his is CDMA.
any1 have an apk for it? i flashed a new rom and i cant find it on the market now doesnt have to b a flashable zip I can only find old versions on google
after some research... looks like vzw blocked it :

now i just hope verizon doesnt do anything to the ones that side load wifi tether
Wireless tether is basically stealing. Full props to verizon for finally blocking it. And gnesoid was taken down by he developer it is not being blocked by verizon.

Explain this to me. How is this stealing?
Is using Google Navigator stealing because VZW has VZ Navigator which they charge a monthly fee to use?
We pay $30+ for our data package, we shouldn't have to pay additional fees to use that same data.

Sigh. They [verizon] never blocked it, the developer pulled it on request of sega. Verizon might piss you off at times, but they don't care about a video game emulator to a 20+ year old system, lol. However...the former console company that hasn't really done much since they retired the said system might want to complain...
So why was Gensoid taken down? According to the developer, it was at the request of Sega. They must have contacted Google and gotten the emulator taken off the market. What exactly Sega claimed in order to take it down isn't know as Google usually isn't forthcoming with details, just general overviews, when asked. The next question is, why now?

It's also obvious if you search the market on your computer (not your phone). Wireless tether is still there if you use a browser, gensoid is not.

Stealing
Charging customer more money to tether to another device is stealing. Way I look at it, we already pay for 5gb of data (some unlimited). Wireless carriers should let us tether to any device we want to our data limit. I pay for my data plan and should be able to use any way I want to up to the carriers limit.
Barnacle Wifi Tether is still in there at least, i always liked that better anyways.
Just put your phone in airplane mode and turn wifi on and go to the market you will then be able to see all tether apps.

I know that Verizon uses the non SIM card format...CDMA?
I am on T mobile and have a relative that wants to give me his original Droid. My question is if it is possible or not to unlock a droid and put it on T-mobile?

Different radio band with,you can't make it run on the different frequency otherwise people would be using Sprint phone's or ATT phone's on Verizon, or visa-versa all the time. Networks install different radio bandwidths in the devices so you can use a phone that they can guarantee you have a signal depending on their coverage area. Not sure but pretty safe to say here to achieve that in a device made specificly for Verizon not gonna be possible. Correct me if I'm wrong by all means but haven't seen anyone do that yet.

It's simply not possible. The radio frequencies of a GSM network (AT&T, T-Mobile) cannot be detected by the antennas of a CDMA phone (Verizon, Sprint, cricKet) without hardware modification among other things. It's like expecting to get 4G out of a 3G phone; not to mention the network encryption and MID issues.

The answer is NO.
The Motorola Droid can't even accept a SIM card. It's useless to you.

No offense but why do people want to take nice phones and gimp them on MetroPCS? The service is garbage. If you want prepaid, then get it flashed to PagePlus if anything (many times you don't even need to flash anything, it will just work after activating and programming OTA). There are a couple decent phones on Metro (LG Connect or LG Esteem, namely), it's easier (and probably cheaper) than getting a Verizon phone finally working on their network properly.

Well from previously working for MetroPCS, i can honesty say there are some area other carriers don't have any service in that metro does because they have their own towers, and if there in MetroPCS 3g coverage then i don't see how they would "gimp" there phone plus if they wanna pay 1/3 of there monthly price on Verizon i don't see why not..
An alternative people could use is unlocking there bionic and use a prepaid gsm carrier like simple mobile.

Simple Mobile is also pretty terrible (I am a Simple Mobile dealer myself). Does Metro even actually have 3G? I remember when their 4G LTE started (which from my testing is slower than Sprint's 3G coverage), they only had 1x and 4G, but no 3G.

Yea they've put 3g up almost everywhere they have coverage. They used to only have 1x which was terrible

So I switched to pre paid and I'm loving it. I get the same speeds as on a plan,(my area sucks) but unlimited data, for less money. 2 thumbs up!
What carryer you on? What was the specific plan?
So that we may all have a lookieloo and benefit from your shared joy
AT&T $50 unlimeted go phone. Buy a crappy phone activate it and then put the sim in your thrill,but you gota activate it on the crappy phone. Don't tell them your using a smart phone.
Or straight talk for 45/mo
Just order an att compatible sim card from them and your good yo go... full 4g
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
What r u running I just got one on prepaid stock it doesn't work on data.

I'm running thrillseeker. If you activate the sim through the thrill then att knows your on a smart phone and want to charge you extra for data. activate the sim through an old crappy go phone and it will work.
Never knew that!
Just a quick question, If I got a Skyrocket. Activated on a crappy phone, then got the prepaid thing for AT&T would I get 4G LTE speeds if my area has it or no.. Thank you
IDK? Not sure how all that works? The pre paid card says 3g???
