Doubtful! <br /> <br /> <br />Hmmm. Looking at the feature list, you might think the saliva is beginning to build. After all, the LG VX9800 looks like one juicy morsel when it comes to geek-enabled cell phonery. Figure the QWERTY keypad, bluetooth, MP3 playback capability, EV-DO support, miniSD expansion slot ... what more do I want?<br /> <br />How about a real PDA OS? I don't particularly care which one, just something that gives me enough juice to do something interesting. And useful.<br /> <br />And I swear, this new video clip thing is going to wind up forcing me to climb onto a rooftop somewhere with an AK-47. On one side you've got vendors like Verso building applications to allow Verizon-types to block Web traffic like P2P, free VoIP and similar stuff because they're ostensibly "bandwidth drains."<br /> <br />And then you read about great new "products" from those same ISPs (like Verizon with this freaking phone) that allow you to sign up for what amounts to tiny, low-rez video snippets of various bits of TV content?! So not only are you wasting more time and bandwidth on something that can't entertain you for more than 10 seconds; you're also paying for something you get with better quality for free at home?! How is this anything but a bandwidth drain?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20711700-114231365540229769?l=nokia-6690-cellphone.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>wireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00993364678742711132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20711700.post-1136774060501773352006-01-08T18:32:00.000-08:002006-01-08T18:34:20.506-08:00Sporting a sleek design with a slide-down cover the Nokia 8890 is factory unlocked, so it is not restricted to any network (unlocked) and you can use it around the world so long it matches one of the described GSM frequencies. <br /><br />Features include: <br />Titanium/aluminum shell with slide-down keypad cover <br />Factory unlocked--not restricted to any network <br />Infrared link for wireless communication <br />Up to 8 voice-activated speed dials <br />World phone 900/1900 <br />SMS and picture messaging <br />Clock/alarm clock <br />Calculator, currency converter <br />Customizable profiles <br />Up to 5 lines for text, numbers, and graphics <br />250 names and numbers in phone up to 250 in SIM card <br />Memory for 50 calendar notes <br />Voice dialing <br />Predictive text input--support for over ten major European languages <br />Picture messaging <br />Speed dialing for up to nine names (one is always voice mail) <br />Last number redial from dialed calls list <br />Call register of dialed, received, and missed calls <br />Emergency calls to 112 without SIM card or with key locked phone <br />Automatic and manual network selection <br />Call waiting, call hold, call divert, call timer <br />Closed user group <br />World phone operates in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas <br />GSM 900/1900, supports Extended GSM 900 band (EGSM) and GSM1900; automatic switching between bands (You need to call your GSM provider to ensure your sim card works on these frequencies.) <br />Automatic network selection <br />Real time clock from network (Network Indicated Time Zone) <br />Retractable antenna <br />2.25-hr. battery talk time <br /><br />Shipping: This product normally leaves our warehouse within 1-4 business days.*<br />This product is not available in US territories or APO/FPO due to shipping requirements.<br />Warranty: 90 day - manufacturer<br />Materials: Electronic components<br />Model No: 8890<br />Dimensions: 3.25 in. x 1.4 in. x 0.5 in.<br /> <br /><br />* Some orders go through our fraud prevention department.
