| 360525 | 2005-06-03 00:43:00 | ... Bluetooth, IR, GPRS and regular GSM. SLOW AND EXPENSIVE. ... Yeah. GPRS wasn't TOO bad as far as slow is concerned, kinda like rural dial up. GSM on the other hand did suck, Heaps better than the crap telecom was pushing at the time though. I hated IR too. to send that email, you had to line everything up, make sure it was all talking, then press send, stand clear, and pray. If you were lucky the message went through. I'm quite interested in the latency of the 3G systems, they all talk about reasonable bandwidth.. but does anyone know what the ping times are like? -Qyiet |

| 360527 | 2005-06-04 00:09:00 | I would guess that you guys think that polyphonic ringtones, camera, color screens, games, radio / music player... These functions are ALL useless??? For a phone... yes, most definitely! Sookie |

| 360528 | 2005-06-04 11:06:00 | sookie, I have nothing more to say... I reckon if you drive, your car doesn't need to have aircon, a CD player, sun visors, wood panelling, interior light eh??? Cause it's pointless to have extras on a car anyway... You just need a shell, 4 tyres, a engine, and brakes. |

| 360531 | 2005-06-04 12:40:00 | I fink the image is about half a millisecond in latency but the sound is les than half a millisecond. Vodafone says it shud come out near the end of the year |
