T-Mobile Dumps MS SmartPhone

burgburgburg writes "It seems that T-Mobile International, Europe's second largest mobile phone operator, has decided against introducing a Microsoft SmartPhone after all. T-Mobile had announced their plans in February to introduce the MS SmartPhone this summer. Industry insiders say that the software for the phone continued to have 'fundamental problems,' leading to a high failure rate. French mobile carrier Orange introduced a MS SmartPhone, SPV, late last year. It initially had software security problems which Microsoft has claimed are patched."

    You know, it's funny how so many US netizens have been ragging on the french for having the balls to veto the US over Iraq.
    The funny thing is, out of 150 vetos in the history of the UN, the US were responsible for 76 of them (second only to USSR (118)/Russia (2)).

    35 of these were directly in relation to stopping the UN taking a hard line with Israel. France has issued only 18, and the UK 32.(from here).

    So before you take the piss out of the French, how about acknowledging that the US is too veto happy as well?

    I am not French, and I never agreed with the French veto, but I think it's bullshit how hypocritical the US govt (and citizens). are on this one.

    The whole veto system is crap actually - either everyone should get the veto power, (in which case the UN would be even more useless than it is) or no-one should.

    Who'd have expected it? After a few more years of stringing the loyal followers along, Amiga.INC are folding. Having registered intent to dissolve, they're now auctioning off all office assets, nobody has been paid for months, IP has been siphoned off behind the scenes over the last few months and nobody wants to admit to being CEO of Amiga INC.

    Funny stuff isn't it. I wonder if someone else will come along, buy the name, and string tens of thousands of amiga followers along for another 3 years. Think the curse can last that long?

    THE CYCLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS INEQUALITY: THE END OF POLLUTION, VIOLENCE, ETC.

    Just as there are five senses, there are only five axioms of Euclid's Geometry. This is because of THE LAW OF ELECTRO-HARMONIC-TIME ENTROPY. the cycle of consciousness inequality is encoded in the works of Shakespeare. ALL of the world's evils stem from the failure to embrace the LAW of PSYCHIC-ANTI-DEMOCRATIC ENTROPY.

    Our DNA was altered to hide the SECRET of vibrational astrochemistry. Robert Oppenheimer knew everything about anti-mechanical science. That is why the Roman Catholic Church and their tools, the masters of the worldwide money cabal, destroyed him.

    the cosmic meta-socialist constant is 3. ONLY from this value can one compute the true structure of matter.
