Question...
If an Operating System and its Software are not written to take advantage of multiple cores what real world benefit do you have using a multiple cored processor?
sounds like you are a TROLL
Re: Your Perfect World...
but the european model has an average of 2 companies per country with the iPhone... so Europe is in the same boat Wiwavelength is complaining about...
Your Perfect World...
So in YOUR (wiwavelengths) perfect world what would the wireless industry look like?
A single giant company that stretches from shore to shore and does nothing but sell a data connection. Its ran by the government so access is rolled into your taxes. When shopping for a device you only go to the manufacturer for a selection of compatible devices?
--OR--
A lot of small carriers limited to a population limit so no one carrier has advantages over another carrier where ...
Re: Explain it to me...
comparing a devices "freedom" to a way of life is nonsense. Especially sense the whole idea of Android is to watch EVERYTHING you do so it can be sold at your expense. How is that "open"
Explain it to me...
Android is "Open" because you can download 3rd party software that is not found in Googles app store... but by side loading these "open" applications you can get malicious code. So the only way to prevent getting "infected" software is by using the Google Market thus creating an even smaller store than what iOS offers.
So my question is this; How is Android more open when you are cant even use the main "advantage" over iOS?
Re: umm, guys?
Like I said ealier
RIM's Mike Lazaridis even said in an interview with "all things D" that the BlackBerry Tablet OS (based off of QNX) is only meant for multi-core devices. its BlackBerry Tablet OS can only run on multi-core processors and that there is no possiblity on putting it on Blackberry phones until multi-core processors become available for cellphones.
so until they make a multi-core chip that can stand up to RIM's battery usage requirements QNX is not going to ...
Re: umm, guys?
Blackberry OS 6 isnt based of QNX! its the same ol OS with an updated communication bar, (more) touch friendly interface and switches to Apples open source WebKit browser instead of the god forbidden browser RIM used in previous OS releases.

Put your phone number in and it sends you a hint!!!
I just put my number in and sent me a message saying...
"With an 8MP HD-camera get the next generation hardware with the next-generation network."
AT&T should do this...
maybe if AT&T did this people wouldn't be using GPRS when travelling or live in the boonies where Verizon/Sprint have 3G services.
Beggars cant be choosers
Maybe if you paid for the GPS service you could warrant a complaint but its free. Go buy a GPS application that gives you street names if you want street names, but don't complain about a free service.
(if you can find a GPS application less than 50MB :lol: )
Good thing this is less than 50MB
or you wouldn't be able to download it :lol:
50MB???
how is Android more open if you have a max app size of 50MB???
Re: Has anyone noticed?
using roads is a bad metaphor, roads are paid for by taxes in gasoline/diesel. In theory the more you drive the more you damage the roads, BUT the more you drive the more gas you purchase so the ends justifies the means. The problem occurs when cars get continuously better gas mileage (forced by the government) and the taxes don't go up to adjust for the decreased fuel purchases.
easy Fix...
Get your son an iPhone, that way you wont have your son getting SMUT as "ads" in his applications.

Carrier "sort-by" suggestions
When you are looking at the list of devices for the Carriers you can sort by "technology" when you this option is selected it should split it by the different types within the same technology.
what i mean is when looking under WCDMA it should be split by WCDMA/HSDPA/HSPA/HSPA+
or CDMA, REV.0 devices/REV.A/REV.B
Since the majority of devices are either 2G or 3G now I think this will offer even better categorizing among seemingly like devices
Re: WAIT! AT&T turned over the money...
lol good luck, AT&T, getting any money back from the California State Government...
Re: So you think you know about data usage...
Internal data at AT&T AND both Verizon says that the average user uses 8GB per customer. But, they tell the public that they only use 2GB... to keep investors happy :roll: Oh and since it was an internal memo you cant disprove me
What??
5Mb a second is not "4g" speeds. It's a marketing ploy so they dont have to tell customers "We spent billions of dollars to upgrade our network so its now 1.5x faster than previously possible"
the true definition of 4G speed is 100Mb in a urban setting and 1000Mb in a rural setting. according to the ITU (International Telecommunication Union).
Nokia is Beating a Dead Horse...
Everyone everywhere HATES Symbian... It's not user friendly, it causes any device to have horrible battery life (because of the multitasking). For example, I had the N75, because at the time it was "amazing", unfortunately after about 10 minutes of web browsing(or youtube) it would say low memory and I would have to completely power-cycle the device to get the darn thing to want to keep Surfing.
Other devices i have read that issue on; 5800, N95, e71, e71x, ...
Best Marketing ploy EVER!!!
If T-mobile can call its HSPA+ network 4G, because its speeds are comparable in real world testing, then it will be able to call LTE 5G when it switches to LTE in the next few years.
"T-mobile, the first 5G network!*
*With 3G speeds by definition"
Please do some research that does not involve Google
so what?... they only offer a dozen phones out of 60+ handsets they are making right now. :roll:
the best selling phone in India (Nokia 1280) sells for $27 yes TWENTY-SEVEN dollars! to a market that is almost 1Billion people.

I smoke knowledge
???
check their balance records or go to www.nokia.com and read their financial quarter results. The average price of a handset sold this past quarter was $137 and that includes N series devices and Vertu
I dont know who started it but...
With Apple having a bunch of patents all involving multi-touch good luck getting a "cool" phone when all this is over.
What are you smoking??
Nokia sells most of its phones for less than $100(USD). Nokia dominates the "emerging markets" which include Africa and Asia. Nokia can sell phones for dirt cheep prices because it owns ~800 GSM related patents so it doesn't have to pay royalties and owns the majority of its manufacturing plants.
Nokia's N series is being destroyed by (for lack of a better word) comparable iPhone and Android handsets.

Three reasons i love Voice and Data at the same time...
1)When i am on my way to the bar I use google Maps for directions (if i dont know where I am going) of course my (already drunk) friends are lighting up my phone asking why I am not already there yet. I dont get lost and they can stay updated knowing where I am at. bluetooth suggested or speakerphone)
2) You know when your mother calls you and wants ...
Re: Just in time
i doubt it will make it that much more expensive. the hardware itself is only $30 for the sensor... that's not including the discount for buying in bulk.
A perfect example is the camera sensor in the iPhone4 costs ~$14. A manufacturer would be able to hike the price up ridiculously for a small investment per device. the only thing holding these back is the software and picture compression on the device side.
because...
lets say you spend countless hours trying to creating a new keyboard layout that is optimized for the English language that allows typing to be twice as fast is it is on the current keyboard layout. You spend your hard cash to have a local manufacturing shop create a few keyboards that you can give to your family to test out and get feedback on.
you finally decide everything is where you want it and submit it the new ...
Re: really?
yeah, but the iPhone has dozens of apps that are constantly streaming data, whether it be Eliminate Pro- an online FPS, the several warcraft knockoff MMORPG's or even simple apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus or streaming bootleg movies, tv shows and anime from iPhonemoviez.net. Not to mention the countless X rated streaming sites built for the iOS and its quicktime player.
Don't get me wrong I believe Android can use a ton of data when you set it as a ...
Re: really?
Cnet cites Validas, a company that you pay to look at your wireless bill and check to see if they can make your bill cheaper. They get all of their information from a very small portion of customers that are upset with their bill and take it to Validas to make sure its accurate.
2 months later Cnet posted another article showing that iOS devices use twice as much data as android... it says "iOS devices accounted for 56 percent ...
really?

if you don't mind, could you cite the source of that comment. I would like to read the article that shows Verizon users use more data than AT&T users.
Re: Samsung Fascinate Known Issues document leaks
Customers go after the carriers because the carriers are the ones that approve the devices quality for the customers. When you buy a TV from Best Buy you take it back to Best Buy while its under warranty. If you buy an Apple Computer you take it to Apple. If the carriers didnt want to deal with customers having issues with their handsets then they shouldn't sell phones or they should raise quality control.
