But what network does it support? humm? Cellular one page is pointless, the TigerDirect page says GPRS as the only protocol it supports. So i'm guessing it is GSM, doesn't tell me sqwat about which bands tho.
Oh, and the sticker price is 400 clams. Kinda steep if you compare it to "free with 2 year contract"
I had a dog who suffered diabetis for 5 years before he died. 2 shots a day. 1 in the morning and 1 at night. In total, I purchased about 3500 needls, and 60 vials of insulin.
Trust me, I was being milked for medical supplies, out of insurance too =(.
I have a UPS which I have the modem, router and laptop and a lamp plugged into. Luckily I haven't had anything long enough to drain the UPS battery...yet.

Tv Ad Announcer: The American Medical Association said, "these are not cigarettes, but a sophisticated drug delivery system which gives smokers strong hits of nicotine, a drug the AMA says is so addictive it wants smokeless cigarettes banned."
Narration: Consumers were equally unenthusiastic with what was dubbed a smokeless cigarette.
Smoker 1: Nothing. Zero. It's like smoking blackboard chalk.
Smoker 2: What kind of cigarette is this?
Smoker 3: Another first for American technology. No wonder the Japanese are trembling.
Tv Ad Announcer: R.J. Reynolds has announced it is bailing out of its smokeless cigarette project, but then those smokers who tried Premier apparently didn't like it anyway.
but if you purchased one on the internet, it would be considered black market.
You know that buying black market goods is illegal. It is very likely that you'll be hung high and dry as an example of what a "domestic terrorist" is and be given the royal treatment from Homeland Security.
Ok so how did I come accross this? Art Bell (late night am talk show wacko) used to have this guest on about reverse speech. The guest would have audio clips played foward, and then backwards. And when played backwards, a quick message would be heard. Supposedly, this message was the subconscious speaking and the truth to the lie would be told when the audio was played backwards.
really? All my cingular phones have been locked...i think(ericson POS, nok 8290, nok 5190)
V400 not being locked is actually new to me. I thought it was some special thing because I got it through Mot employee purchase program. Oh well, I was interested in getting a phone with no contract. and the v400 was 200 bucks, unlocked, no contract when i got it.
Greatest thing ever, IMHO. I'm both a Cingular and ATT customer at the moment. (long story short) I have 3 differnt phones (and rotate like girls rotate through shoes). All my phones are unlocked so it doesn't matter if I pop my cingular SIM into the ATT phone.
Going international? Not a problem with calls (prepaid sim as the parent said).
So, how to unlock?
Firstly, IS IT ILLEGAL? I don't think so. Technically, even if "free", you paid for the phone when you signed the contract. I'm locked in for the 12-24+ months with ATT/Cingular. The phone locking scheme is to prevent me from using my Cingular branded Motorola V400 with ATT- and ATT hopes I'll buy a V600 instead (but no, i'm paying 7 bucks tax for the "free" phone. This article from oreillynet.com says its not too
insatall, find imei by punching in #*06#. Put that IMEI into the code generator. Turn off phone, take out sim card. Turn on phone again. Now, you need to punch in the unlock code generated from the program. DO NOT SCREW UP THE UNLOCK CODE! I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU PERMANENTLY LOCK YOUR PHONE. IF YOUR AFRAID YOU MIGHT SCREW IT UP, THEN DON'T EVEN TRY.
moving on. Once your phone is unlocked, it can be used with ANY carrier. That's right. ANY carrier. To prove my point, I have ATT on my Cingular branded V400 and a Cingular Sim on my ATT branded Nokia.
rollover? To get that they'll probably make you sign a new contract. Hey, anything to keep you locked in right?
For example, I know of a car dealership who would, after about 3-5 years (depending how their used car sales was doing) ask you to trade in your "old" car for a new one at "little or no out of pocket expense". The catch? So they could get you in a new lease/finance and keep you for another 3-5 years.
PAY CASH if you can. It saves alot in finance charges.
George, Cleve seems to have quite an impressive background. However, is this guy serious about plants and poly, or is he just someone who "lost his mind" and is like my 85 year old grandfather who used to be an accountant? thinks he can still add numbers (but his math is 90% wrong these days)
ok, this is a little OT, but i thought it was fascinating enough that i'll post it anyway.
So a few weeks ago, I was driving back to school late at night and was listening to Art Bell (yes, its full of wackos but it's entertaining. Been listening since 7th grade)
Anyway, there was this guest on about polygraphs and plants, yogurt bacteria, eggs, food, etc.
Basically the guest said that if you hook up a polygraph to various "living" things, you can get some sort of reading off of them. If you put stress on/around the thing being monitored, it will react.
For example, if you hook up a polygraph to an egg, and have a dozen other eggs around it. If you take one of the eggs and put it in boiling water, the egg hooked up to the polygraph machine will go crazy.
With plants and yogurt. If you hook up a polygraph to a plant, and have a cup of "live" yogurt beside it. If the yogurt is disturbed (such as stirring up the fruit in the yogurt). This will kill the live bacteria in the yogurt and the plant would react.
Lastly, the guest said that you can't (for the most part) beat a polygraph with anything mjaor (such as if you murdered someone). Why? Because you conscience would get the best of you. The one exception is if you life was in danger. (he didn't elaborate much on what that meant)

no, microsoft hasn't released anything today.

Still doesn't hide the face that Voigt is superior than Wilson.
when someone directs you to goat.cx, you need a really big back button. All that panic, you can't be expected to hit a small one right?
The secret is to buy the orig verson, then make them buy back the orig one cuz its crap.
When that fails, you end up like Jason- this guy who has EVERY SINGLE LOTR DVD because he had to "get the latest and greatest" 50 disc spectacular.
So far I have GT3. I'm holding off on GT4 until the "with enchanced features" comes out, so I don't end up like jason.

microsoft put some disability assisy programs with windows. you might be able to use those as a free solution.
if you want something less "hands on" try something like Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Linux? No we established that already.

Thanks for the info. From reading the blurb, I thought the machine stored the data on MO disc or something.
but if you purchased one on the internet, it would be considered black market.
You know that buying black market goods is illegal. It is very likely that you'll be hung high and dry as an example of what a "domestic terrorist" is and be given the royal treatment from Homeland Security.
Be a good citizen. Buy from the military directly. On the bright side, you know who to call if tech support is needed.

Anyone with a little child around and willing to try?

your very welcome. I tried the onlnie ulnock once, but they wanted a registration or something...so i downloaded the prog instead. =P

I've only unlocked Nokia phones so far. So, if its nokia, download from cnet here.

none that I know of...heak its Art Bell. Its full of wackos such as Harriet the Witch, Ed Dames and "Remote Viewing", Area 51 employee call in night.
Art Bell is "etnertainment" for a darn good reason.
