Posting from my new Motorola Q
 

It's pretty cool. It's like a little PDA. It's nicnamed the RAZRberry apparently.

s/s or it didnt happen

S/s? What do you mean?

screen shot, i wanna see his phone

Oh I see, yeah lets see a s/s.

I never saw the point of Internet phones.

I see the point, but a lot of times you must have fucking ADHD if you can't wait to get home to mess on the computer. The only way I can understand it is if you were an avid investor, ceo, or something like that. Then staying in the know 24/7 is worth millions of dollars. But most people can wait.

I would imagine that it's handy to have if you're out and about and need directions to somewhere or need to know something that would otherwise be hard to find out. I can pull out my phone and in about 10 seconds I'm on google. Then I'm looking up movie times, maps, etc.

But how much do you pay a minute for the internet connection? And what if in you're scenario there's no signal for the internet hmm? hmm?

I present to you, TomTom!

I used the Motorola Q for about a year and a half and I have to say that it's great. You can customize just about anything and there is a bunch of third party software available for purchase or download.

The terrible battery life is worth mentioning though and you might want to look into an extended battery for the phone. Don't leave the charger in overnight and try not to overheat the battery by keeping it out in the sun or something.

I moved on to a standard flip phone because it appealed to me at the time but I do miss the easy e-mailing and full keyboard.

In Sweden, all locations (including the "northern wilderness") offer GSM/GPRS coverage from most providers. 3G is available in most locations as well, which is nice.

How popular are store-value cards in the U.S.? I don't see why anyone would want a "regular" subscription without a ceiling for the bandwidth usage or call durations. "Oh hai, I downloaded the Blu-ray version of Catwoman overnight via this bittorrent application I installed on my phone." Almost all Bluetooth-enabed phones are subject to Bluesnarfing, too.

I get unlimited internet with some sort of smart phone plan or something. Doesn't matter to me, I'm not the one who pays for it.

As far as whether or not I'll have a signal, I don't think it's really an issue. I've rarely had a problem with not having a signal before, and I doubt I will now. Not to mention, if I'm within range of a WIFI network, I can connect to it, and I think I can connect my phone to a computer with internet access and it will share it with the phone. Dunno, I doubt I'd do that, it seems silly to be sitting next to a computer that has internet and connect my phone to it so I can surf the internet on my phone. Why not just do it with the computer?
