in the Article: California First to Levy Cell Phone Charger Regulations forum

What they are talking about is those of us that leave the charger plugged in when the phone is not plugged into the charger. the charger cord is still sucking up power, just like a toaster oven would when not in use if you left it plugged in. i never use the microwave for a clock when i have my computer or cell phone. my printer is always plugged in, but i only use it once a week.

vvelez said: The government doesn't need to "protect the people from a corporation" which doesn't make any sense anyways. If I don't like the deal then I won't go with AT&T and show my dissatisfaction with them by heading to another carrier. Wireless phone service is not a necessity as you would like people to believe, we aren't talking about water here. Exactly... When it comes to water. I don't get to choose where it comes from, who bills me, or ...

I will agree. the consumer creates the Monopoly. Stop shopping at Walmart (I don't) and maybe their wouldn't be so much cheap made in China crap floating in our land fills... Stop eating McDonalds and blaming them cause you're fat... If you don't like AT&T's phone plans go with Sprint or Verizon or Metro PCS. You can't exactly call AT&T a monopoly just because they're the biggest. As long as there are other choices available even if they are fewer ...

in the Article: T-Mobile Offering New $80 Plan for Limited Time forum

I was with T-Mobile for over 4 years because they always had the best plans, but I switched to Sprint last year because you can unlimited web, text, and any mobile to any mobile plus 450 landline minutes (which I rarely need to use) for $69.99. I really expected better from T-Mobile's usual $10 cheaper plans with better features than other carriers, guess they just don't care anymore. I will stay with Sprint until T-Mobile decides to wake back up.

I mean these two new phones look just like all the past Motorola's. They just keep imitating there older models. It's cause they're stuck in their ways... They made all Nextel phones the same one after another because people kept buying them, and same thing with the razoresque phones... as long as ...

jskrenes said: Keep in mind that Sprint also has a large business base of customers. And if they are part of the non-GPS crowd, they would be a hard sell to switch over. If I were running a business, I wouldn't buy new phones for my employees just because my contract was up, I would wait for the phones to become obsolete and non-functional. In fact, I probably would buy used phones or phones at full retail ...

japhy said: I dunno - assuming Sprint's share of the $2.8m fine is $1m even, that's still a fair bit of cash to suddenly drop on customers. Even a 10th of a percent of their customer base is tens of thousands of users, and to just give them phones (which they'd likely have to do, since forcing people to extend their contracts isn't very friendly) would really cut into their bottom line. Remember, no phone is truly free ...

I will agree and say that the Nextel phones are beaten to death... It's great that they are ruggedized, but they could use a little face lift. Some more color options or sleeker design would be nice. I mean what about the girls who "chirp" with their Nextel. Wouldn't a pink one be nice with the military standards?

I totally agree! I always thought that Sprint was highly manipulated by it's customers... I mean if they complained long enough they got free activation fees and credits on their bills, and it's about time companys stop letting the customers take control of them, and start having better customer service! I think not having contracts all together would solve a whole lot of problems... customer service would drastically increase because it would naturally have to or else people would leave, ...

In order for this to work properly each manaufacturer is going to have to make every phone compatible with all applications, and they're also going to have to make every phone compatible with GSM and CDMA, which is possible considering the current iden/cdma hybrid phones.
