You are very perceptive Dash... Yes...I get emotional because the cost of wireless communication for most people is prohibitively expensive. I get emotional because in most places I can't watch tv and catch up on the news. I can't see who I am talking to. I can't dial in and get medical results. I can't get on line in most fast moving environments. I want to pay for purchases with my cell. I don't have a keyboard attached to my phone so I can send email without getting carpal finger. -gg- Picture resolution on existing cell phones sucks. Screen size sucks. Advanced features are out of reach for most consumers. I can't do these things because of the stalling. And if I could...for I know some of those features I grow impatient to use are available......I must stay out of most western states where service is spotty at best and then mortgage my home to use them. (I have a cabin on a river 45 miles outside a major city and can't even make a wireless phone call from there.....it is 2007 isn't it?) In the long run NOK doesn't seem to really be interested in providing those luxuries to a growing market. They seem more interested in squeezing every dime they can out of those cheap tin boxes they've been selling for years. I'll never forget my disgust when I learned that eu providers had decided to ban anything cdma from THE CONTINENT...........lol. Where would we be had providers not stalled but rather worked on combining talents, ingenuity and technologically advanced features on an ongoing basis? I totally agree with your sentiments regarding a solution they can all live with soon. It would be a different world, but par usual, all the world can do is wait, and wait, and wait and..........so forth.
