Building a cell phone.

I am interested in several different types of cell phones but I have never found a phone that meets ALL of my needs.

I was reading an article on some website about people who wanted to build their own cell phones and such. Is that possible?

I don't mean so much as in "can it be done?"... Because I am sure that if one has access to the various parts that they could BUT are there rules about such things? Do they HAVE to be regulated? If anyone has any info please respond.

Sprint Costs for Cellular Modems

I just installed SnapDialer by futuredial and am using my Samsung A600 as a cellular modem. The service is working well, but I have one question.

Should I expect to see additional charges on my bill, or will the Vision plan cover the costs?

Thanks!

US CELLULAR Picture Messaging/Do all carriers have to do picture phone to picture phone?

WELL ITS FINALLY HERE! Us Cellular's gradual movement into CDMA has been pretty smooth and VERY successful. I am a manager of 5 stores in the Northeast Market. We are currently offering the LG VX6000 and the Audiovox 8900. LG phones rule and the Audiovox is well ...ok. March 24th,2004 USC is launching picture messaging from phone to phone, however both customers have to have a picture phone handset ie phones mentioned above.We will be able to also receive from email and send to regular email but why can't we send a picture to another BREW enabled phone? IE VX6000 ----> VX4400 What is the difference? Do other carriers have the same issue? Any insight would be great.

Real World Analog Battery Performance

Hey. This is my first post and I'm finding it hard to get the answer to this elsewhere. I have a Kyocera 2235 which I don't like for one main reason. The battery can still die and shut off the phone even when the phone is plugged into the wall. WTF... This happens when making analog calls from my rural area and this phone has horrid battery performance in analog.

Can anyone tell me if other CDMA (Verizon) phones have a better reputation concerning this. Obviously I need great RF in the Analog spectrum. I was seeing that Nokias are good for this.

This battery problem is the one reason I am paying MCI 60 bucks a month for long distance phone calls. HELPPPP!!!!!

anyone a test user at threeoclock.com

For the last 4 months I have been a test user of threeoclock.com

They have been sending my 3650 weekly video/text magazines to me for FREE!!

At the end of this month threeoclock.com goes live and I have been told by their tech department that anyone that preregisters will always be able to use the service for free.

I can really recommend the service (but you need a java phone)

Their 60 magazines cover every subject. I have been getting the music and the sports ones and they are really fun.

Draw backs.
Long download on GPRS (4 mins)
Need a bit of storage space.
Video is a bit jumpy


Has anyone else been using it, is anyone else a memeber, what do you think??

Sayno RL2500 to Verizon

I have had a cell phone for quite a long time. I have had Sprint and Verizon and like them both. I have also worked for both but it has been a while ago. I currently have Verizon because of there coverage. However like most others out there apparently I am not a huge fan of Verizon’s phones. I am not one of these people that are interested in a camera phone but instead want the best call quality possible as well as reception. What I very much want to do and do not really care how much money it takes to get it done is get the Sanyo SCP-5400/RL 2500 and or the SCP-5500 / VM4500 working on Verizons network. I do not need the two way feature and I don’t need the get it now stuff. All I want is my text messaging and voice mail and phone. ...

Text Messages

What prevents us from sending text messages to everyone that has signed up for text messaging without regard to carriers? (Much like the ability to call using a valid phone number.)

fast battery drain

help! I have a phone with a battery that drains pretty fast. i took it to the local sprint store and a tech told me that he tested the battery and it was fine. he then told me that i should leave the phone in the "sprint only" mode and this will help with fast battery drain? i know that phones use more power in analog but do they use the same amount of power in searching for service mode when set on "sprint only" and if so where can i find specs in writing that say so.

What’s Fuelling Japan’s 3G growth?

Interesting piece, very often the asian mobile data success story is shrowded in mystery and a lot of it is put down to "cultural differences", nice to see clear reasons for its success that the rest of us can learn from
