Re: I think you are confused.
Wow that was incredibly helpful!
Thank you
Re: I think you are confused.
let us please not forget that the transmission range of GSM and CDMA are not the same. The propigation properties very greatly as well.
CDMA transmits much farther, and has better elimination algorithms for bounce-back and multi-cast splitting that will allow the services to still work even in a diffinatively noisy enviroment. (noisy related to Signal to Noise Ratio) CDMA is less effected by Dirty signals.
Re: Awesome!
Recent surveys done in the broadband sector have found that a huge majority of users (i dont remember the exact percent) will not pay for wifi access. Even more of them are opposed to usage based subscription models. I think carriers are going to need to rethink moving to a usage based subscription. While not wifi, I can't imagine the everyday user finds much difference between the two of them. IF they want mobile data ...
Re: iPhone Users...
I get that Apple is trying to look forward to HTML5, but it seems to me that support for poorly running flash content with a push for a change to HTML5 as the new standard would be better served for a company that is known for great media functionality on their other devices. Embrace the old, and push the new. That way their device will allow users to play it if they choose, and when HTML5 becomes ...
Interesting
This will most likely prove to be a very interesting technology. The question is will carriers lock these SIM modules out in their handsets to prevent the obvious widespread abuse that will likely insue.

maybe bluecoyote = steve jobs. That would explain alot!

Re: Those are femtocells
That is exactly whey the CTIA has devided now, after the number of years that some type of booster equipment has been out, to try to get them banned. The larger carriers all have some form of Pico-Cell coverage, and the CTIA is fighting to make sure that all the revenues from this type of a device are comming from their carriers. Unfortunately these pico-cell products will not work for everyone. Internet coverage with a high ...
Re: EXPENSIVE!
Your forgetting about the SMS gateway connected to the paging channel, and the cost of transporting data from tower to tower, the cost of transportation from network to network, and carrier interconnect agreements.
Re: This is not gonna get any mass traction...
I can see this being good when they figure out how to do this within a 10 foot range of another device. They can build them into your cars, couches, chairs, etc and whenever you are near an enabled device you will start charging. This is a product that could be great for things like laptops and other internet connected equipment that has a high power drain. You can still be wirefree, and not worry about ...
Re: car charger would be nice!
How about plugging it in out of habbit when you get into the car. Kinda like buckling your seat belt. Then you never need to worry about it! 8)
Re: touchstone and powermat really arent wireless charging..
although Tesla did this with MUCH MUCH larger equipment, that was not anywhere near portable. Electro-Magnetic Fields of this size have many adverse reactions to the human body. Not to mention the power loss between the source and the intended target is incredible! Once they figure those out we should be able to find devices that would charge at a reasonable rage (such as 5-10 feet.)
Re: Sorry jay...
Verizon files quartly reports just like every other corporation. Im sure the reports will break down the categories similar to a profit and loss statement. That should give you a general overview of cost to company, vs revenue. Remember the company has to cover all costs on the services it provides.
Re: Sorry jay...
I was just eluding to the fact, that $30 per device is still not as great of a margin as it is made to appear. People look at it as $30 that they pay that costs the carrier nothing. It costs a ton. And yes they do make money on it, but its not an incredible amount per subscriber. As they add more subscribers the backhauls need to be upgraded again. And starts the ...
Re: Understand
Data
-----------
Cable companies are not a fair comparison. Every cable company in the United States used goverment money via the Broadband initiative. The initiative allowed for Fiber Optics to be layed across the country for Major, ILEC's wich they can tap. There was so much of this fiber laid(because its incredibly expensive) we are not even using 1/4 of the dark fiber available in the United States. The problem is the companies that participated in the ...
Re: Sorry jay...
Most people forget that every single cellular tower needs to be connected back to a network operations center via an Internet backhaul. Think about the shear number of users on a single channel. Have you ever had 4 people conencted to a 5 Meg cable connection via wireless? Yet the same bottle neck happens in the cell towers. Only to fix it, they need to increase their number of transmitters, increase their backhaul, etc. ...
Re: What about...
You have to remember that Google is new to the mobile market. They created a system that works extreamly well for them with other software development, and business in general. They are taking those principals to the mobile market that has been full of manufacturers saying "Hey lets take this in baby steps so we can sell more devices" (and they do. They improve one thing, and expect everyone to fall in love with it ...
Re: Actually....
obviously you have never owned a Blackberry, Windows Device, Razr, or LG phones. all of them at one point or another you will wish the battery was removable. Bad programming is jsut a fact of life. Even your mighty iPhone has suffered from in some capacity.
Re: not interested! with that capacitive screen!
Not to mention on a device that size there is no real reason to use a nail or a stylus(even though there was recently a stylus designed for capacitive touch screen)
Most everything is very finger friendly, and I have pretty big hands.
Re: I'm
Im just not sure how they can claim the "best 3G experience" just because they can talk and surf the web at the same time. I still have not found a use for that, nor ever wanted to for that matter.
Isn't part of the experience not getting pissed off because you pick up your device and are dealing with painfully slow internet speeds because you just stepped out of 3G coverage. I would have to ...
Re: Sounds like Linux....
The point is for this not to be just a Geek device. although it is. the point is that when people go to geeks for advice on what to purchase, what is the biggest and the best.
Just as when something goes wrong with a computer people bring it to a geek.
Your point about linux not being relavant is rediculous. What do you think most secure servers in the world run on. ...
Re: 3D Support on the Droid...
The DROID should be able to run everyone of them eventually. The processor is only a 533, but the chipset has integrated 2D/3D graphics acceleration to make up for what the processor lacks in itself. Not to mention the built in L1 cache in the processor will help smooth over some of the jerky spots. (contains a 32KiB cashe for both data and instrucion.)
Chipset on the DROID:
OMAP3430 by Texas Instrument.
Re: Actually....
Anyone that wants to sync music and files with something other than iTunes, or easily print picture from the local photo kiosk.
Anyone that has ever had a battery fail part way through their contract and wanted a replacement for it.
Anyone that uses the life of more than one battery in a day.
Anyone who has ever needed to pull the battery out of their phone to resolve a rather insignificant software error.
Furthermore New applications for the iPhone ...
Re: 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 , 2.1
Android is an open source code project. us Geeks always have to tweak things and Google really intended us geeks to add new features to it. You will notice that with each upgrade of the OS there are very slight additions of feature. Most phones are able to accept the upgraded Android operating system as it comes out, so there isn't a concern about the latest and greatest. Google needs the Geek community to get ...
Re: BEST BUY!
Sure it does. You just don't see it. Once a certain amount of damage is done to a brand by the customers getting what they think they need instead of what they really need, Verizon won't have a use for so many customer care reps because there won't be enough customers to support the need.
Re: i love these customers
Consumer advocacy recomendations for the wireless industry are a joke. They don't take a customers full experience into account, really they just play into the price is everything mentality. How many people have you heard of not getting any information from the website selling the phone, and they are left with a misconception of what they were getting into. That is not only damaging to the image of the company, but damaging to the customer as ...
Re: i love these customers
Gee really.. When the websites run offers that you simply can't come close to in the store. Every benefit in the world is not work a $50 - $100 difference in the cost of a phone to most customers. Give em a break.
Re: BEST BUY!
Just think! Then you could deal with all the problems they create for your company! YEAH!!!!
Its kinda like telling people we should send all our customers to Walmart.
Verizon would never be able to keep up the volume of handset sales because Best Buy is not a sales oriented organization. They are a big box retailer. Big box retailer doesn't drive sales they allow the customer to help themselves. If our customers all knew ...
Blackberry Outages EEERRRRR!
I am getting so sick of RIM not having their SH** together. Data has been completely down since 4pm. Just started to comeback BB Browser is still out, as is email. Gmail, Slacker, and facebook are finally back. That was the longest 4 1/2 hours without customers ever!
Re: What Carrier is Better? AT&T or Verizon?
Do you have any clue how many times this question has been asked here?

Re: Attention Store Rep
The is quite possibly the most grown-up thing ever said in this forum... nay on phonescoop! :o
Re: Perfect Cellular Company
errrrr... :(
Re: Dear Santa
We already have better.... its called DROID! :-)...
Perfect Cellular Company
Ok, I had an interesting conversation recently that got me thinking a little bit. People are always arguing At&t is better or Verizon is better, etc. So if you could have your perfect wireless carrier what kind of policies would it have? Types of rate plans,and phones. Why would it be perfect for you?
(I want you to actually think about this. Don't post dumb stuff like free phones whenever I want them, and unlimited ...
Re: Attention Store Rep
ooohhh I hate that. "Can i speak with the customer" turns into "why don't I send you the same phone free of charge, is tomorrow ok for delivery?"
Re: Store reps, how do you all work in the stores without
Don't kid yourself. There are plenty of retail reps, and call center reps that don't a thing.
I am indirect, have been for nearly 7 years. I know more about the cellular industry, handsets, and policies than most people do in a life-time. But then again, thats just how I roll. So to say that an indirect rep would be trained for once is an unfair shot across the bow of people that actually ...
Re: get a google number?
Google Voice has 2 options. Google Voice mail wich you use your existing number, and Google Voice (full) where you get a new phone number from google, and a bunch of other options yet.
Re: What It Really Means...Exactly!
Sure they throw a hissy fit, and try to whistle blow on Google. Then announce a week later that they would allow VOIP applications on the iPhone. How hipocritical!
Re: Best Buy Employees
Yeah.... Peter.....
Whats this I hear about TPS reports.
Didn't you get the memo?
I'll tell you what, Im gonna make sure someone brings one down just to make sure..
Re: LOL WOW THIS IS FUNNY
That makes sense. Afterall Sprint was able to get phones to combine the iDen two way into a CDMA device. Why can't all 3 radios co-exist. Powerhog certainly .
Re: ipiece of ***
Is this really a suprise though. I mean really?
Who here actually thought IPCS was not going to jump all over this like a fat kid on a cup cake.
