| 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?

my tmobile cell phone number somehow to Skype ?
\_ Yup
\_ Has anyone done this? Will they forward this to another
number?
\_ I recommend insulting your shack well.

will sell 1000 or so phones. Why aren't they worth a gajillion
dollars?

cell phone *currently* on the market with a steel shell? My old
Motorola is steel and I don't want to replace it with plastic
crap. I need a GSM phone. Thanks!
\_ No. -luddite

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.

| 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

\_ Um, ok. So inter networking-speak, the frequency is like the

| 2005/9/12-14 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:39646 Activity:moderate | 9/12 I'm going to be in Spain and Morocco and I'm considering
getting a GSM phone to use while I'm there. I've heard
it's best to buy the phone in the US and then get a sim
card for the phone there (or maybe off of ebay while still
here). So, can I just get any GSM phone (assuming it uses
the same frequencies as they use in Europe), or are some

| 2005/4/24-26 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:37338 Activity:nil | 4/24 I have a Nokia 5190 with a SIM. Replacement battery will run me
$25. Can I simply transfer my SIM to a new GSM phone?
\_ If it's issued from the same network provider, then yes.
When they subsidize the phone, they lock the phone down
to one provider. You can unlock it but it will usually
cost you about $25. The nice thing about unlocking it
