T-Mobile is the 2nd or 3rd biggest player in the 'GSM world'. They will not be taken over by the number one: Vodafone (who owns a part of Verizon).

I bought a Nex IIa from Frontier Labs somewhere on the web. Works like a charm, is small and can read CF.

On: Cell Phones on Commercial Flights by 2006?

If you happen to be a compulsive jabber, please consider your surroundings and get a phone that doesn't require you to SHOUT INTO IT. Shouting in new phones (1999 and up) wont make the conversation more clear/loud/whatever.

On: SMS SPAM to be Banned Down Under?

Vodafone NL introduced a spam filter like you suggest (filter for identical messages and block them). Only registered companies are allowed to send large amounts of messages. It wont solve all the spam but it will bring back the fraude and fake messages. I guess Vodafone UK (and in other countries) will setup this filter in the future as well...

On: SMS SPAM to be Banned Down Under?

If you get spam from your provider you should send complaints to them. You are a customer, you have a vote. If you really get annoyed by it, you should consider leaving them... ?
