>> Buying a phone should be no different than buying a loaf of bread. What on earth is the difference.

When Sprint gives you a phone number, they are issuing you a credit line. All the bread will give you is a larger waist line.

I believe the process is much simplier if you are establishing a pre-paid account with Sprint.

Limtex, the effect of Calling Party Pays is going to be an eye-opener in the USA. The USA is horribly rule-bound too. Requiring pricing plans to be approved by a government department. Having good quality gender and melanin content service providers with low capital as preferred spectrum owners. Talk about weird!!

A lot in the USA is behind other places.

As the WWeb hits the airwaves, the transition in the USA will be spectacular. The USA is still the land of the Web and the mess of GSM/TDMA/analog/Nextel/Portable Phones/CDMA etc types will disappear as WWeb rolls out.

My prediction is a spectacular rate of adoption.

The necessary bits are all falling into place.

The scramble for Q! stock has just begun.

PS: Note price rising and volume only 3.4m shares today. Not a 'selling into the rally' which some might expect....
