SE + Android = FAIL

SE has a very hard time getting their act together. We will see this phone in the market in Q4 when every spec on this phone is out of date. Plus to top it off they will not release any updates for it. BTW: The x10 is already being discontinued by AT&T. Think the Arc could make it at least 6 months? I don't think so.

Reward for doing what you are supposed to?

Imagine your boss comes up to you and says: "You punch the clock on time everyday, and for that your get a pay raise."

Is see no difference here.

How much will the salary be for the person or persons to go through the "Data" and give the rewards? Nothing wrong at all with adding that to the fiscal budget.

Obviously the author is not familiar with SE.

The question posted in the article was: "Who would have suspected, for instance, that the Satio's file manager and list of applications lay beneath the Organiser icon, which looks at first glance like a calendar app?"

Answer: Any SE user.

Who cares that much about tehering?

AT&T still needs to turn on MMS. The tethering issue should be the least of their concerns right now.

puke.

Worst IT story I've seen on the Reg in a while.

The cloned dog is named "Deja-Vu"

I know that I've seen that dog somewhere before???????

Isn't this what Microsoft does???

"Spread the word that you're out there, the world should know, but not by taking down your competitors - that's just silly"

Hello pot! Meet Kettle.

Dual Screen

Presumably, I use double the bandwidth because I use 2 monitors?

april fools

good one Reg.

When will they learn

The way to sell a phone is to put features people will use. Wi-Fi and GPS are two of the hottest things right now for the average business user. If I'm not mistaken I believe that is RIM's target market. Cell companies need to get out of the office / lab and in touch with their customer base.

If it's not yours..... you don't care.

That is what a majority of people think when they use property that is not theirs. Ever go just the speed limit in a rental car? Did you really care about the stain on the wall you made in that apartment (or flat) you rented years ago?

Sadly people have no sense of ownership when they didn't pony up the cash for whatever it is they're using.

I had a user take his laptop on the road and in the hotel he decided to search for porn. He saw a few pop-ups and didn't think twice about clicking them. To only his surprise he got infected with several Trojans due to his porn frolicking session. His excuse was that he didn't see a problem at the time cause he wasn't on our company network, yet using the company laptop did not seem to bother him.

The point is that we as "IT" need to make users accountable for their actions. We have a clause in our handbook that does. I did the work to repair the laptop and billed the employee. You know he's not going to type "young sexy babes" in Google anymore.

** the pirate pic cause there were swashbuckling sites that were still in the cookie cache when I cleaned it out **

Well at least......

We didn't lose 500,000,000 jobs this month. According Nancy Pelosi 500 "MILLION" americans are losing jobs every month that congress delays the pork belly er i mean "stimulus" bill that Obama wants congress to pass.

At least if we all took birth control we could stimulate the economy, or something else, and turn the country around.

Oh my!

Such a sad article about socialism working it's way in to the US.

IT Angle?

Does her bedroom have Wi-Fi?

Back to the Future.........

"Elpida, Japan's only DRAM vendor, made a $144m operating loss in its first fiscal '09 quarter which finished at the end of June. It thinks it will post another thumping $144m operating loss for its second fiscal 09 quarter as well"

09'! - Great Scott! My computer has gone back to the future!

Do people ever proof read what the write on the internet?

I THINKS not. ha ha ha

Paris cause I think even she could do a better job a writing about this story.

This is the only reason.......

This explains why the majority of the American public is not aware of the options about purchasing unbranded phones.

"We have, as an industry, conditioned customers to very expensive computers put in their hands for very few dollars......"

Phone carriers get great incentives for pushing phones that are branded under their name. The average American cell buyer wants the best "deal". So they are brainwashed into believing that buying a phone from the operator is the only option, and it only cost $40.

This is a gas......

"But I would also tell you that the big double digital percentage of customers that put those devices onto out network have a less than good T-Mobile experience,"

The reason is not because it's a unbranded phone, rather it's an out dated network. I get a better experience with my SE unbranded than I did w/ my friend's SE branded. I almost spat my coffee over my computer when I read this. Does he really think that people would buy into his finger pointing?

Also.......

Windows XP users who prefer not to install Safari are still getting notified to install "the fastest and easiest [and unsecured] web-browser for the PC".

TO: ha ha

I'm sure Steve, deep down, is happy. This is what exposed the general public to DOS back in the day. Ultimately Apple can own more market share by a move like this.

There is a downside though. OS x is relatively cheap as it stands right now. A full OS for 150 compared to a windows flavor of equal features for 300 or more. If Apple starts to lose money because they are not selling hardware marked up by 200% then I'm sure we'll see OS x be closer in price to Windows.

The way I see it.......

I upgraded from my K790a last week. Yes Yes I know the question you are asking....... Why did you not get the 850? The answer, because I did not want to lug around a brick in my pocket. I'm happy I made that move. The author in this article is neglecting one very important bit of information about the 850......... BROD..... (blue ring of death). The 850's firmware tends to crap out, for whatever reason, after a few months. What makes the C902 and attractive phone is that the firmware has been rewritten for this device. Menu function is fast and stable. I can browse my calendar while listening to my Bluetooth headset with ease.

The other "upgrade" or change that was commented on is the touch buttons on the C902. I don't know where the author is coming from about "inadvertently switching to video". That hot key is on the top row, and all of the camera features are on the bottom row. It's still an improvement over the touch areas of 850. From what I heard they stay active all the time. God forbid you have a slightly larger ear while talking on the 850.

I think the author did a good job going over all the features of the phone, but I think he may be a Nokia fanboy. I would have at least rated the phone 80% - 85%.

60 CIGS!!!

That's 3 packs a day!!!!!!!! I think that example is a little extreme.

it's almost sad................. almost

Microsoft at one time could release an OS and not have to worry about public opinion. Now they're viral marketing an MTV video about a failed product that took 5 years to make. My OH my have the times changed.

............... obviously for the better since the public is realizing that their product is not nearly as good as they make it seem.

the heart ----- cause this just makes me happy :-)

let's just.......

Let's just ban PEOPLE. People annoy me, they are inconsiderate, all they do is disrupt me while I'm on the plane.

There should be a law that bans PEOPLE from planes. Then there will be plenty of peace and quiet in the planes.

My guess is that they are Democrats because that's the m.o.of that party. "Government control of the people as to suppress their rights as Americans."

maybe......................

Maybe she'll get blue papered and get an "apartment" with padded walls.

it's so obvious.....

All the information was in front of me the whole time. I can't believe that I didn't put it all together.

HA HA

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Almost guys......... almost.

@ Ryan .....(and)...... AT&T always seems forgotten.

I am a US mobile user. For years I used Verizon and was bound to only phones that they sell. In the market I'm in there are all the major players, Verizon, US Cellular, Sprint, AT&T, and T-mobile. To be honest I thought the same as you for the longest time. "I'm always bound to the carrier by my phone"................ Then I did my homework about 6 months ago.....................

I talked to all of the operators. Researched the different cellular technologies and phone manufacturers. I even polled my friends who used the different services.

In the end I found out that AT&T really did have an open network. They broadcast on all 4 of the GSM bands and are working on getting the HSDPA (3G) band in my area. The only hurdle is configuring the phone on the network.......... That is where you need to buy from a reputable manufacturer. Knock offs won't cut it, your support will be hit or miss. I buy through SE and they provide simple steps to configure my phone. Needless to say, I will be getting the X1, which is a windows mobile device.

The point is that AT&T, though it's one of the largest carrier here in the states, always seems forgotten. Even in this article...... no mention of AT&T. AT&T did win part of the block in certain markets. Why not mention it??

he has a point

For a brief moment I thought I had Safari installed. It was quite a brain tease considering it was Apple's UPDATER software. Kudos for someone with a little pull pointing this out to the general public.

You can do it!

I noticed that Rob Schneider was cameraman # 1. It would have been appropriate for a loud "YOU CAN DO IT!" right before take off.
