Re: Apparently
Actually, the linked article states "at least $100", so it may be a great deal for consumers.
Sorry to see him go
Chair Genachowski has been the best the agency ever had. He made many excellent decisions and had a superb vision for the future. His smartness and judgement will be missed.
Re: About time
Works in Stockholm too. NYC is way behind.
About time
Washington DC and the rest of the World's civilization has had subway mobile service for decades.
Re: The Apple Copyright Enforcement Task Force scores again
It may be good for HTC also, not having to spend time, money, and energy for possible lawsuits. This way they can focus on technology and business.
Best article ever!
Everything I was always afraid to ask -- right here. Kudos Eric Zeman!
Re: Ahem!
I think they don't have enough competition or regulation. Why should they be allowed to sell the same service multiple times? Once when you get "unlimited" data, and the second time when you want to use that data for tethering.
Re: How does it work?
I don't know how this works, nor do I care, because I don't think this change on FB is NEWSWORTHY.
Re: "With Sprint, Anyone Can Launch an MVNO"
Why would anyone want to rebrand this, and offer it to a customer as brand-x, when it can be sold as Sprint, a brand name that everyone is familiar with?
Re: Patients were made to protect property and ideas...
They should not issue patents for stupid stuff like searching in two places, instead of one. How come the car companies are not suing each other, yet the cars look more and more like each other. The phones, like the cars, should benefit from what works, the wisdom of the community. And then the consumers and manufacturers benefit too.
Re: Your secret data...
Why not just write it on a paper, or better yet, keep it in your mind and don't tell anyone.

I guess radiation decreased
In 1996 there were more powerful cellphones, up to 3 watts of transmitting power. Today I think it's 0.5 Watts. So my guess is that the radiation decreased over time. I am curious what facts the FCC will find.
Re: Apple is the worst abuser
Thank you for clarifying this.
Apple is the worst abuser
If they just limited Apple's use of import ban, it would have the same effect. Apple to import ban is what Ed McMahon was to junkmail.
Lee Kun-hee's son, Jay Y. Lee
What is it, a family owned and operated business? :lol:
Re: SIM card?
It will definitely have to have a sim card slot for this to work. Hopefully the Sprint version will have GSM support as well. These might be the first top-of-the-line Android phones on CDMA that also support global GSM, meaning global roaming. A huge deal.
Re: No 64GB version?
What's wrong with 16GB, it's a lot isn't it?
Re: "The company recently revealed
Not all of retail cost goes back to RIM. So it must be the price they get from their distributors.
Sprint seems to have the money
I'm beginning to think they can actually catch up with LTE. Great news.
Re: Wonder what
It may go into a tablet. LG may also produce a larger or smaller version in the future. I guess most people cannot tell the pixels apart at those sizes, as they are too small. So what is the point of making a display so small with such high resolution?
Re: certain 2G technology
VZW and Sprint use similar technologies, so I bet it will benefit both. Hooray for in-building 4G!
Re: I think you misunderstood Andras888
Thank you for the link. It's mindbogling to have this crazyness for one little feature or patent out of thousands that go into each smartphone. And the problem wasn't even there. There needs to be a better way.
Nearly twice the cost?
Mobile Hotspot should be free to those who already pay for unlimited data, but Sprint almost doubled the price. I am disappointed. Luckily, I don't need it.
Re: I think you misunderstood Andras888
Jellz, where did you find this delicious detail? I had no idea what the actual issue was (or issues were), but I was pleasantly surprised how quickly the ITC made a decision.
So quick?
I thought this would take much longer.
Re: The surprise of the year...
When will people learn not to jump on half-baked pieces of crap?
Is LightSquared arrogant?
Somehow to me the tone and substance of their communication to the FCC over the months was irritating.
Re: Hardware is EXACTLY what RIM needed...
Very valid points!
Re: Or even...
I think the main advantage of BB used to be that they were the first and only smartphone. Today, some people are sticking with it because they are used to it, know it, and unwilling/unable to learn something new and different.
Yes, it has some unique qualities and features as mentioned earlier in this thred, but its efficiency of interface and battery life are arguable. The reliability is questionable, with many outages lately. And I didn't mention ...
Re: I disagree
Agreed. Since the strengths of others cannot be addressed by RIM, the opposite is bound to happen.
Re: Or even...
People like the BB because of reasons other than the OS. RIM is moving away from it, but IMO to the wrong direction.
Re: Huh?
I was referring to a NYT article from yesterday, where on page two it says about the new BB devices "The prototypes cannot make calls or connect to wireless networks"

Re: Hardware is EXACTLY what RIM needed...
I respectfully disagree. When there is an emerging standard, manufacturers need to comply. RIM is pushing Betamax in a VHS world. Imagine creating a new network to compete with the Internet.
Re: Hardware is EXACTLY what RIM needed...
Yes, and I agree with you, including the first and longer message. I would also add the BB keyboard to the list. You and I would have a better chance of saving RIM, then the current crop of blind leaders. I would have made a device that runs Android, has the BB keyboard, and GSM radios for international use. None of the four nationwide carriers has that.
Re: Hardware is EXACTLY what RIM needed...
But the "we will be different or we'll die attitude" is what does them in. The new OS is the last nail in their coffin.
"perfect"
Read: until we are finally able to make a voice call and have a data connection.
Re: No surprises
Nokia, like Blackberry Rim, compete with the rest of the world. They apparently never heard of "If you can't beat them...".
No surprises
As the title says, no surprises, but Nokia must still be number one for battery life.
Sale bafore bankruptcy?
I think RIM wants to do one better than Nortel did: Sell what they can before they go bankrupt.
Re: Ice berg ahead.
I guess it's not true. Sprint is up against an infinitely arrogant state and city. Sprint should get three times the legal fees back in the end, plus some penalty from NYC and NYS.
