Typo
Consumers have been unable to lock phones since a provision of the Digital Millennium Copyrights Act expired in January.
I'm not aware of too many consumers that want to be able to lock their phones. Maybe you meant unlock.
Re: Socialism

Or to put it another way, government telling you (being individuals and corporations) how to run every aspect of your life including financial.
So yes, socialism.
so assuming that you live in the United States you do realize that your government was created based on some socialist principles. Those Social Security checks, Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, public schooling and others are all socialist programs, right?

I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it! I just want to hear the word IPHONE and Verizon!
Why would Apple let VZW steal their thunder and announce the iPhone? They didn't let AT&T announce the iPhone for their network. I bet it's just an announcement for WP7 on VZW.

First you take their freedom when they rape, kill and plunder the masses...now you take their cellphones?! This is too much I say! It's uncivil!
Absolutely. Who said that "hard time" had to be hard?

thats retarded...nickle and dime people, whats next? cover charge to get in tmobile stores?
i'm waiting for the carriers to start assessing a charging fee every time you charge your cell phone.
Re: possibly
if that were the case then wouldn't they give some of that "monetary damage" to the people who actually got the telemarketing calls? :wink:

everytime u have sex, u have to pay more loyalty! haha
i'd rather have them pay royalties. i'm not sure what dollar amount loyalty carries.

about time!!!
i can't believe it has to take congress to change this. it should be a given for safety.
hopefully other cities will get it soon.
how is this a safety issue? the nyc subway has been in operation for over 100 years and no one back then said "i need a cell phone on the subway for safety".
i'd actually be more concerned with the possibility that a terrorist could plant a bomb on a train and ...

Re: Useless Addition to blackberry line
sridharts said:
For this much time between the previous pearl ad this one hte one thing that they could add is WIFI. How lazy is att. Come on.. Add GPS to it.
Why not have a phone with all three GPS, WIFI and Camera in it. You make Moto Q and Curve with camera and GPS but no WIFI or blackberry 8820 with wifi and gps and no camera. Verizon seems to have better phones than u have.
at&t doesn't make the ...
Security
With Avvenu, users can access, use and share files on their PC, even if the PC is off.
Seems a little insecure to be able to access my PC even if it's turned off.

yeah, but when the battery isn't user accessible then it's where?
SIM Card?
Ok, maybe I'm missing something. Where does the SIM card go?
Re: They'd better!
well most carriers don't get into crippling like vzw, but they all customize their phones. if you buy directly from moto or nokia you can get an unlocked, unbranded phone which is much better than some of that garbage the carriers put on the phones they sell. i can't stand that stupid orange splat and the "be safe, be courteous" on cing branded phones.
and i think selling the phones out right is the way to go. ...
Re: Rich or Eric??
i think the gsm roaming is due to alltel acquiring western wireless which had both cdma and gsm service.
Re: T-Mobile FIVE all you need to know
t-knowitall said:
If you knew anything about wirless and the results of testing you would know that the FIVE was choosen because not everyone has a top TEN. Everyone has a top FIVE!!! FIVE is easier than Ten. T-Mobile's FIVE plans will have more WHENEVER minutes than ALLTEL's will.
my god, this ranting reminds me of that 8 minute abs argument in there's something about mary...

you mean like they did with bluetooth?
besides i can't see verizon allowing a customized interface when they are forcing all their phone manufactures to standardize on a "VZW" interface.

Apparently the government doesn't take it lightly when a retired General's phone records are purchased.
yeah, but it shouldn't have to come to this. it seems as if the government usually only steps in when its their information at risk.

does it mean that if i have a t-709, that i will be able to access the internet with my laptop anytime anywhere that's in the network if i hook it up with the phone?
Assuming the t709 has the ability to tether or make a bluetooth connection with your laptop, then yes, you'll be able to access the internet anywhere there's Wi-Fi available.
i thought the wifi feature of the phone was for UMA.
Re: I have had enough...
THEGAME said:
yes indeed, I got 3 of them...they were $149.99 a piece from letstalk.com so it was a little over $1100 with tax, thats how annoyed I was...I could not even get tetris from tmob. I want a phone that does more than place and receive phone calls.
well, for $1100 you could have gotten a laptop that did more than play tetris...
Re: I have had enough...
THEGAME said:
I was sick of cingular all the good phones, games and ringtones. I could not even get Tetris and I went to Cingular and my Nokia 6682 ( the phone I have been frothing over ) will arrive in the mail friday, :D
so you paid $600 plus what cingular is charging for a 6682?
Re: What's a jigger?
POP ROCKS said:
well you know how they say wigger, and I think we all know the definition of that. A Jigger is the same thing but it's when a japanese person replaces the white person in the name wigger. Get it? lol I don't know what a jigger is but that's the first thing that came to my mind. lol
wow, that's just mildy racist...
Re: Nokia To Deliver HSDPA Solution To T-Mobile
right, and that still doesn't say too late for what? are you implying that once cingular gets umts/hsdpa up and running the cellular market is over for t-mobile?

Hmm. This is quite interesting, because they will launch it in those markets but will they launch it in the United States market and if so will it be to late?
Any opinions?
too late for what?
Re: New phone
i don't know why samsung seems to dislike bluetooth...
Re: Why not buy the Western Wireless GSM network?
where is the logic in that? if there is no benefit in owning the network then why doesn't t-mobile just sell all of their network and then launch their brand as an mvno?
Re: maybe not.....
trust me if a back room deal was being worked on between t-mobile and some other carrier you and your director of event representatives would not be privy to that information. at best you'd find out about an hour before the press release was sent out.

allsquare said:
Didn't intend it to be a racist comment. More along the lines that his audience is between the ages of 9-21. Since the phone is $500 having someone like that advertise their product would be a waste of money.
i wouldn't sell that group short. since they aren't encumbered like most of us with mortgages, car payments, insurance payments they probably tend to have more disposable income.
besides have you seen the way parents spoil their kids today?
Re: Using CDMA Phone In China???
yeah, but at least if you have a world gsm phone you don't need to rent when overseas. you can just go to a local service provider and pick up a prepaid sim with a local number for a few bucks.
