The Q family. Qualcomm (QCOM 82 1/6 +1 15/16) set a new all-time high. From beefing.com You all haven't seen blurbs like that for a long time, if ever. These new high are going to attract more investors to this thread. Sooner or later this thread is going to be populated by investors that have a less technical back ground then you all have. I hope you can take it and not get frustrated by them. Greg

The problem with the "send" and "6" button was well known, and not very common. My PrimeCo dealer said "every so often we get one in." This is the same dealer who said he received way more perfectly good Nokia phones back because they perform poorly. He refused to sell them unless the customer demanded it. What does Ameritech do? They give them away free! Exactly what they're worth. Sprint is now in Chicagoland as well. I am waiting to switch to that service when the Thin Phone comes out. I think a Thin Phone for me, Q-phone for the wife, or maybe a pdQ for me, Thin Phone for the wife, or.........
