12/2    What's the difference between Nokia 6160, 6162, 6192, and 6190?
        They all look the same!
        \_ Unfortunately, nobody can be told what the matrix is.
        \_ 6162 and 6192 have the flip. All are functionally the same.
           The 616X uses TDMA technology (specifically for CellularOne)
           while 619x uses GSM technology (specifically for Pacbell).
           \_ 619x (or is it 618x) can be used with CellularOne.
                \_ 6185 works with Sprint PCS.  No flip.
                \_ No, 619x can only be used with Pac Bell, these are the
                phones with smart chip . Only PacBell support smart chips.
                        \ WTF is a smart chip ?
                   \_ Yes.  All other phones use Idiot Chips.

12/11   What are some cheap wireless plans you can buy where you can
        get the sim-card and stick it into any device of your choice?
        \_ Any plan which uses a SIM. I have used my AT&T SIM in a
           Blackberry, two different iPhones, and even an old Razr. I
           assume you mean domestic use only.
        \_ I don't use my phone very much, so I've been contemplating on

6/3     Any phone geeks on here?  I want to get a new smartphone, preferably
        with wifi, touchscreen, and 3.5mm headphone jack.  I don't plan to pay
        the monthly $$ for a data plan though, since wifi is good enough for
        me.  That rules out the iPhone due to AT&T's policies.
        Maybe I should get some sort of Nokia N-series.
        \_ Wait one week and get a pre?

10/12   The wife lost her ATT+T  dcell while here in NYC . There seems to
         be no fraud activity yet. We were just  wonderingf its actually
        possible to get a location trace done like the so on TV?
        \_ For AT&T... pretty much no unless you are law enforcement
           with a subpeona.  If you had Sprint you could just use our
           handly little product!  http://sfl.sprintpcs.com and locate it

10/26   I'd like to buy a Nokia 6301 (only available in europe), to use with
        my T-Mobile HotSpot@home. It uses GSM (and WiFi). Will it work with
        the US GSM frequencies, and is there a way I order one from europe?

6/29    For every single iPhone sold, Nokia/Motorola/LG/whoever
        will sell 1000 or so phones.  Why aren't they worth a gajillion

11/3    It's here. Cell phone SMS spams. Anyone having problems? How do
        you deal with it? I'm paying 10 cents/message. Spammers
        need to die.
        \_ With Sprint the nice lady offered to block text messages, so I did
           \_ But that also blocks non-spam text messages from friends or
              alert from your server, etc. What they need to do is stop
