2011/9/19-10/18 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:54176 Activity:nil | 9/19 Why are most latest smartphones called "<model> by <manuf>" rather than
"<manuf> <model>" like in the older models? E.g. "Droid X2 by
Motorola", "ThunderBolt by HTC" and "Revolution by LG", vs. "Motorola
Citrus", "HTC Trophy", "LG Cosmos Touch". Is is just a matter of
being fashionable?
\_ I have an iPhone 4

2009/6/3-5 [Consumer/CellPhone, Computer/Networking] UID:53075 Activity:moderate | 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?

2007/10/26 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:48457 Activity:nil | 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?

2007/6/29-30 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:47119 Activity:nil | 6/29 For every single iPhone sold, Nokia/Motorola/LG/whoever
will sell 1000 or so phones. Why aren't they worth a gajillion
dollars?

2006/9/21-25 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:44489 Activity:kinda low | 9/21 Why is caller-id so expensive? $6.17 per month? Don't we have a
right to know who's calling us? It's like your ISP strips out
the From field of your email, and charge you half of your ISP
fee for that info. This is ridiculous. In the age where we
want to offer free wireless internet access to everyone
because it is 'essential', shouldn't phone service be free? Or

2006/4/22-25 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:42805 Activity:low | 4/22 Does anyone here in CA have either T-Mobile or Cingular GSM service?
If so, could you tell me where you are and how good the coverage
is there? Thanks. - ciyer
\_ Used to have sprint, switch to cingular. Sprint calls felt less
staticy, and Cingular sold me a phone that died just days after
the warrantee expired.

2006/3/29-4/1 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:42530 Activity:nil | 3/29 Any recommendations for a good Verizon phone? My 2-year contract
is up, and I'm looking for a new phone. I do not want the RAZR,
however. Thanks.
\_ While I'm not up on all their latest phones, I can say that
Motorola quality control seems to have gone in the shitter.
\_ Do you want a pda-phone? If so, you might want to consider

2006/2/4-7 [Consumer/CellPhone, Politics/Foreign/Europe] UID:41710 Activity:nil | 2/4 I am going to Europe for the first time since Cell phones became
ubiquitous. My understanding is that my American cell phone will
not work. Is there such a thing as a cheap, pre-paid phone that
one can use for just a week while in Europe? Do they suck? Where
would one buy such a thing? I'll be in France, a few miles outside
of Paris. Thanks.

2005/12/20-22 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:41098 Activity:nil | 12/20 I have a Nokia 3220 (the one with rubber lights on the side).
Since it doesn't have Bluetooth built in, I bought the AD-5B
Bluetooth adapter which on the web site says is compatible
with 3220. I also bought a Bluetooth headset. Here is my
problem, after plugging in my AD-5B into the 3220, I pressed
the control key and the Bluetooth headset sync button, but
