why the hell do we need phones that can do streaming video, hell even ones that are in colour and take pictures are excessive, they just need to make clear calls, why dont they work on that instead of sumb things like this

3G is coming, dont try and fight it. The phones are already clear, its the coverage that sucks. There are laws that limit the amount of towers phone companies can put up now, so they build where they can. Another reason for them to focus on 3G is that alot of bandwidth is going to waste right now. Why not offer services to use that up, and charge for it?

Just wondering, do 3 still not offer WAP, internet or data calls?

I'd been interested in their service, but their total lack of 3G (or even 2G data) services was a bit of a turn off. However, that was 6 months ago. I was just wondering if this had changed.

I used to work on the router to pass video/audio traffic thru IP for this phone. I think NEC was the 1st one come out w/ the phone for us to test with. The battery life sucks.

It came out less than a yr ago in UK and Sweden.

I suspended my line. I started to really get sick of it ringing all the time and not really wanting to talk.

Screw cell phones.

It's not as if the phone is holding a gun to your head....

Phone: ~~~ANSWER ME~~~
Yayo: Naw....
Phone: What did the cell phone say to the face? SLAP! I'm Samsung, bitch! *phone attaches itself to Yayo*
Yayo: *whimper* Hello?
