1000 minutes/month. That would require that I spend around 4 per cent
of my waking hours every single day yacking on the cell phone. Heck,
I'm no teenager.
For those who do support by phone, this isn't anything. An hour a day in a
ten hour workday spent on the phone is 1200 minutes a month.

Correction, the samsung moment has an 800mhz CPU, one of the fastest on the
market be it iphone, blackberry or android.

I do Mac support. Don't need that many minutes.
1000 mins/ mo. That's about 1/2 hr a day on the cell phone...

I believe that after a given period of time they are required to give you an
unlock code to allow you open your phone up for any service provider that fits.
(In this case GSM) you can then subscribe to a service and put in the SIM card.
I think that you should be able to use any hardware
Both the unlocking and jailbreaking are done with software?
Depends on the phone. Some phones need a special SIM to unlock, others
must be connected by cable to a PC with bluetooth turned off. Some
phones all you need is an unlock code which is calculated using the
IMEI, model number,

That discredits him sufficiently in my mind.

Some people need or want different things from their cell phone. For me the
killer feature is multitasking, this makes up for any issues their might
be
For me, the killer feature of a cell phone is being able to make and receive
phone calls. :)
Indeed this is a given, but not always with some cell phones. In several
reviews including the last moto droid one, the poor call quality of the
iPhone was brought up again. This has always been the weakest part of the
iPhone, it does most other things very well...calling not so good.

screen. Just try to convince us that you are going to watch a

Yes of course. You know better then everyone else what they need. Oh wait

handheld that is so crucial? I don't have have an iPhone, but

They will offer you that if you are a long time
Make no mistake, none of it is crucial. But If I can get a phone that lets
me do it, why would I not get that phone? I'm not one of those users as Tom

anything else is shite. I know different people have different needs,

Still, the Droid’s multitasking pays off in two situations: when you
want to listen to Internet radio while you work in other apps, and
when you’re switching between programs a lot. Since they’re already
open, you don’t have to wait for them to start up again with each

If you are not already a T-Mobile customer, I am not sure that you can
get the new unlimited mins for $49 Loyalty plan ... but it wouldn't
hurt to ask. It's by far the best minutes deal out there

No you buy a used Iphone that no longer has a contract on it.
I just read an article about a an Iphone/Worldphone possibly 3rd qtr 2010.

Yes... I googled around and see that people are selling 3G models ...
some new in the box ... and supposedly unlocked for $300-$400.
How are people unlocking them? Especially the ones that say they are
new shrink wrapped in the box.

What's the difference between unlocking and jailbreak?
And how could they have done that to the phones that are advertised as
such but still in their boxes shrink wrapped?

Unlocking means you can then stick a sim in the phone from another carrier
and it will take it. I had an ATT tilt that they gave me the unlock code
for, put my tmobile sim in and everything worked.
Jailbreaking allows you to run unofficial code on the iphone and using third
party app installers
That is the kind of answer I've been looking for, that I haven't
seen at all anywhere else. Whatever works for you, fine. You
make a good case for your phone. (Was all that on your phone,
or was it at your computer and you are giving an example of
what you'd like your phone to do?) However, do
Shrink wrap does not mean much. You can buy the packaging material
and rewrap an item.
If it has been jailbreaked etc. it has been opened.

That was all on my phone, an HTC Hero. The moto droid can do the same, all
the android phones are similiar hardware except for the moto droid having a
better screen and the samsung moment having 8 gigs of built in memory.
There are something on the order of 100,000 apps for iphone, I think at
43 matches
