Nokia Announces New GPRS Promotion 25 July 2002 Nokia, now world’s 4th largest mobile phone maker, in order to increase sales of it GPRS phones plans to offer the following promotional items in hope of increasing sales: 1. “GPS inside GPRS” Makes it easy for burn-ward ambulance to find you! 2. 50 cm Extension Tongs for hands-free use. 3. Jumper Cables for Easy Recharge 4. New “Multi-Colored Flame Retardant Accessory Backpack”. Includes: convenient micro fire extinguisher, aloe vera, and generous amount of gauze. 5. “GPRS Eyes.” Revo has been contracted to supply special multicolored fashion sunglasses that protect your eyes from the initial EMF blast when firing up your new phone. (Note: should you forget to wear them and you are blinded by the initial flash, a seeing eye dog will be provided while repairs are made to your phone) 6. Upon purchase of new GPRS phones, receive discount coupons for plastic surgeons of choice! We are not sure if these promotions will help sales said Teroina Sexkitten, Nokia spokeswoman, but we are practicing up for what we'll need for our WCDMA promotions.

<One "joke" like that on one of the QCOM boards and there would have been a hundred e-mails to si-techsupport@go2net.com. I'm getting really tired of this endless misuse of an otherwise great thread - I do not want for SI to turn into the Yahoo NOK board - if you know what I mean..... > Quite right Lars. Now, if we can just get Puck to stay in his cave, the thread will improve. If you could avoid writing off topic posts in response to Caxton's amusing commentary on the problems of GPRS, the thread bloat would reduce further. I would not have been prompted to contribute my own thread bloat. What you could do, is start a Nokia Moderated Thread, with full banning privileges, just as Ramsey did for Mighty Q! That way, there could be a pure thread, with no Puck Muck [you should ban him/her immediately to avoid pollution]. It's easy and fun! Meanwhile, I am considering reporting you to SI for TOU violation [use of sh*t word though you used an asterisk instead of an i] and off-topic posting. Please tidy up your act. GPRS remains dead in the water in NZ. I have just [right then] checked with Vodafone and GPRS is still 4 to 6 weeks away. But I have checked every month since December and it has always been 4 to 6 weeks away. So it must be getting close now. But they've missed winter, so I won't need the heating function and cdma2000 1xRTT will be available from Telecom New Zealand's new CDMA network. So, go and start a new thread RIGHT NOW and I will come and post some good GPRS market information. Don't forget to ban Puck. This used to be an excellent thread in the good old days until the polluters arrived. I tried getting it back on track, but it's difficult. Mqurice
