1197123	2011-04-26 04:52:00	Not without jailbreaking it first though :p. :pf1mobmini: Not exactly hard though is it :D I've made about $700 or so in the last few years from jailbreaking ipods and iPhones, putting custom firmware on PSPs and PS3s. None of the work is very hard at all, although I do all my friends stuff for free because I'm such a nice person :lol:	xyz823 (13649)

I would find that useful provided I didn't get caught up browsing and posting on forums. :clap The keyboards aren't userfriendly for typing anyway. Apparently its free to use Facebook on some plans? Anything else?	Winston001 (3612)

Apparently its free to use Facebook on some plans? Anything else? Only one special part of the site 0 . facebook . com and only with telecom XT It has not pictures either, text only . Mild correction (I guess) they are only more expensive that your current setup if you start doing more of something than normal . The most expensive part is data and I never actually use much of that anyway . Some keyboards are nicer than others too . Try them, its what you'll be using . I think most people who have used swype will agree its epicly awesome and will change the face of text input for smartphones forever :D	The Error Guy (14052)

Using a smartphone on WiFi doesn't cost you anything beyond the cost of the internet connection you're connecting to. Also, why shoud "average wage earners" be able to afford them - they're a luxury, not a basic need like food or shelter. If you expect the govt to step in, then you'd also expect them to make diamond rings affordable to the "average wage earner"... If some other major cities in America and Asia are having FREE wifi (or working towards that direction) I don't see why are we limiting our access to the wifi Internet to those top wage earners? If you wish to keep this access as a 'luxury', and wifi = diamond rings, well, I've nothing more to say.	bk T (215)

Someone has to pay for the "free" WiFi - if not the punters, then sponsors who will try to recoup via advertising, or rates/taxes - which most people pay.	johcar (6283)
