LG Wireless Phone

Which US. Cellular phones have a front and back camera? Let's get to the point..blah blah blah i know us cellular has crappy phones but some have front camera's? Which one's cuz i can't tell from thier website...the one i know that has a front camera is the samsung galaxy 1 soo....i'd prob get that since it's only $50 and the galaxy2 is weird and HUGE!!! so yea..which other phones have the front camera?

Cellular Phones Is anyone for cell phones with cameras? Having a cell phone is good and a common resource for being able to receive calls when you are away from home. I believe that cell phones has gone away from it's true meaning of consumers having them in the first place It's ok to add gadgets to them, but as far as I'm concerned I'm not for cameras on phones For instance, ex boyfriend friends were talking about taking a picture up a girl dress, of women's breast, and you get the picture and through all of this he said none of them noticed because he was perpetrating that he was dialing numbers but instead was taking pictures. How do I know, well I've seen them. it's sick. Someone could be taking pictures of your person and you'd think that they were dialing a number, when in actuality they were taking pictures. So be care. Especially anyone who have kids. I'd be concerned for the sake of kids more than anything I have 2 girls and I would be aware of anyone who has a phone whether are not they were 'dialing' a number or taking a pic

where is the best site to compare cellular phones? There is a site to compare digital cameras called dpreview.com and I was wondering if there was anything comparable out there to compare cellular (wireless) phones?

****Best U.S. Cellular phones?!?**** what u.s. cellular phones are the best? perferbley with a full keyboard and a decent camera.

Where to buy chinese cellular phones? hi everyone, Does anyone know where to buy a chinese cell phone in egypt, the phone i'm looking for is the "x10 GPS WIFI Dual Card Dual Camera". It's a chinese phone does anyone have any idea where i can get it from egypt. Also i don't want to ship it to my country cause shipping will cost a lot... So if anyone have any ideas please feel free to comment... here is the phone's link but this link is in china and it'll cost a lot to bring it to my country!: http://www.agoodic.com/viewproduct.asp?/x10_GPS_WIFI_Dual_Card_Dual_Camera.htm another link but this time from google search, you can easily search for "x10 GPS WIFI Dual Card Dual Camera" of-course with out the quotes: http://www.lightinthebox.com/X10-GPS-WIFI-Dual-Card-Dual-Camera-Quad-Band-TV-3-8-Inch-Flat-Touch-Screen-Cell-Phone-Black-2GB-TF-Card--SZ00720864-_p115059.html http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products/7246677/star_X10_GPS_WIFI_Dual_Card_Dual_Camera_TV_copy_sony_x10_Cell_Phone.html Thanks in advance. :)

If you have a cellular phone that is not a camera phone, can it still recieve photos and be used? Right now, I do not have a cellular phone, but my mom does. I know you can text on it, which is basically why I want a cellular phone. And also to recieve photos. Well, my Mom isn't what you would like to call...in touch with today's technology. I am not that good either, but I'm close enough. Basically all I want to know if I can still recieve photos and use them (for example, a back ground)?

What brands of cell phones have loops for straps/charms? My phone is fairly new, it's an LG (through US Cellular). But, it doesn't have a loop for a strap/charm, which is disappointing considering I have a couple I'd like to you. So, what phones have loops for straps/charms for US Cellular, or unlocked brands (that I may find on eBay)? I hope for something fairly new, but it doesn't have to be a phone that you can put music on (but a camera phone, like what I have, would still be nice). Ideas?

when the first cellular camera phone came out? any have a date or year first cell camera phone went on the market?....having a little trivia with a know it all

Cellular Phones... Which one? Ok, I have convinced my mom to let me have a cell phone... but not my dad. He's really stubborn. I am not a spoiled kid who gets everything she wants, nor do I beg. I get A's and B's in school. My reading level is "well above average". Those are the things I try to convince my parents with... well not just my dad. I want a real phone, but have also offered a tracfone. I'd like a phone with a full keyboard, but not a touch screen. $60.00 is "too much" money to spend on a phone. I want one, and believe me when I say I don't ask for much. Do you have a phone to recommend which has a full keyboard, texting, calling (Well, duh. I think it would be able to call), and a camera for basics? I live on the east coast (USA) and I have a BFF an hour away and a BFF who lives in California so I kinda need one in a way also to call her. Our house phone doesn't call to California... well it does but it costs a lot of extra money. Any phone to recommend for me to show my dad please? One that doesn't cost $60,00 dollars a month. A cheap one? I know that you think I'm out of my mind for asking this question because there probably isn't a phone that's going to cost less than $60.00 that has those few accessories, but I'm going to take a chance that you guys could help me out. Any links to suggestions please?♥

New US Cellular User. Help with info about plans and phones!? I'm planning on getting added to my Dad's phone plan. I will make his Single plan a Family Plan. We will be having the National Family Plan, with 700 Anytime Minuets, Unlimited INcoming Calls, Unlimited Mobile to Mobile, and Unlimited Txt. Us Cellular has ZERO phones that I like, BUT they are getting in the new LG Tritan, which I LOVE and really wanna get. But from all of the reviews I could find on it, everyone is saying that I will HAVE to have some sort of Data Plan. Adding a data plan is not an option for me, I have to help pay for my extra line, and I cant afford any more than what I already have. So the question is: Is there ANY way I can get this phone WITHOUT Internet? I'm getting it because of they Keyboard, I dont want internet on the phone, because I dont need it; I only need texting. I know people have gotten cracked phones from other providers and used them with theirs and were still able to talk and text, which is all I wanna do (and use the camera & touch screen) is it possible to get the phone from alltel cracked and then just have them activate it? It seems pointless adn stpid to me that you should be able to just NOT activate the internet for the phone. one of my friends has a black berry and no internet on it, because he didnt WANT internet on it. Please tell me if this is at all possible in ANY way. and if so, please tell me, this is my 1st phone, but im cellphone-illiterate. But any help would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. The phone is just starting to be released, so I'll be starting my plan with my dad in a few days or whenever they release the phone. So i need to know ASAP so that If i have to order another phone, then I have time to. Thanks. Oh, and by "Cracked" I meant "Unlocked". Sorry.

I have a us cellular camera phone, is there a way to take a picture and send it to someone by email? It is a US cellular samsung sch-a850

As a current or future parent, what is the right age to give your child/children a cellular phone? Today, its very common to see children under the age of 18 who own a cellular phone. While some phones have all the necessary features such as text messages, a camera phone and the internet while some phones only accept telephone calls. While some parents will give their 12 years old a cellular phone, others might wait until the child turns 16 to have a cellular phone. As a current or future parent, what is the appropriate age to provide your children a cellular phone? This questions can be answered in one of two ways; 1) As a current parent, what is the appropriate age to give your child or children a cellular phone? 2) As a future parent, what is the appropriate age to give your child a cellular phone? As a future parent, I was that 15 is an appropriate age to give your child or children a cell phone once they enter high school but they should get a basic cellular phone with no texting, camera phone or internet since they might use these applications excessively which will cost me more than what the cell phone is worth.

Is this a good introduction paragraph to my essay about "Cell phones should be banned in school?"? “Put that cell phone away!” You hear that phrase mostly everyday in the classroom. Today, instructors have to ask students to put their cellular phones back into their bags and pay more attention to class. This begins to affect the learning environment in the classroom since it causes a lot of distractions. Students not only creating distraction from the cell phone, they also like to take pictures of random people with the built in camera. Some people do not like to have their pictures taken, but nevertheless students misuse these features and invades others privacy. Students that talk or text too much on their phone can cause themselves serious health damages. Therefore cell phones should be banned in school. Can you help me to make it better or give me some tips and advices? My main points are distraction, provacy, and health damages

Are NexTel Phones The Best Ones Out There? I am trying to decide on a phone that I could use practically anywhere in the U.S. without any problems....I first thought that sprint was good until I heard things about price jacking. Then I thought that a place called cellular south (I dont think too many people know of this company because it isnt everywhere) was good simpy because someone told me that they have an unlimited plan, can stay on the phone however long they want..... What I'm basically looking for in a phone is the following: Being able to use it anywhere, anytime. If I go to CA, I want to use it, if I go to FL, I want to use it, even in the small cities!!! I want to be able to talk on the phone and not have to worry about "minutes" running out. I mean come on, is that a real cell phone, to have to worry about minutes? A nice camera on the phone wouldnt hurt either....With perhaps unlimited text msg Those are just about it!

What is the most important feature of a cellular (SMART) phone to YOU??!? What is the most important feature of a cellular (SMART) phone to YOU??!? with all the new gadgets out these days they have so many new features... if u were going to buy a new phone(by new i mean something made within the last six months) what features would be the most important factor in makin your decision??? APPS- are fairly new to android and i phone... all the new phones have em and some have better access to them than others CONNECTIVITY- HDMI, blutooth, wifi, mobile hotspot, 4g, "The Cloud" these are all ways to keep your phone super connected, but are not neccessary to make a basic phone call. CAMERA(S)- Now how many cameras does a phone really need and how many pixels?? But for some... a camera is the main selling point, What about u? SCREEN SIZE(resolution) The Dell streak has a 5" screen. I have 2g phones that have less than a inch screen. SOCIAL NETWORKING "friends!?! how many of us have them?!?!" If i left one off...ADD IT>> for me right now i think screen size is the most important because... they only make one phone that has the screen size i want and... it has a crap operating system so... I will be waiting for the PSP2 to come out... i hope im not dissapointted

Anyone intrested in writing a two page summary of this? FIBER KEEPS ITS PROMISE BY GEORGE GILDER "Today, I await the death of television, telephony, VCRs, and analog cameras with utter confidence as Moore's law unfolds." Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner, John Malone, are you listening?" Get ready. Bandwidth will triple each year for the next 25, creating trillions in new wealth. Editor's note: Four years ago, Forbes ASAP published its first issue with a stunning prophecy by contributing editor George Gilder. Fiber optics, said George, had the potential to carry 25 trillion bits per second down a single strand. This represented a ten-thousandfold leap in carrying capacity over the 2.5 billion bits "barrier" long assumed by most experts in the field. What did George see that others had missed? One, a little-recognized (at the time) breakthrough called an erbium-doped amplifier, which keeps optical signals pure and strong over long distances. The other was a deep technical shift, with roots in the 1940s-era work of information theory pioneer Claude Shannon. If you believed Shannon, his logic dictated a new messaging scheme called wave division multiplexing. Though scorned by the experts four years ago, WDM now is emerging as the winner George had prophesied. The real winners will be all of us, as the coming world of cheap, unlimited bandwidth unfolds and at last fulfills the true potential of the information age. Here is George with an update. IMAGINE THAT IN 1975 YOU KNEW that Moore's law--the Intel chairman's projection of the doubling of the number of transistors on a microchip every 18 months--would hold for the rest of your lifetime. What if you knew that these transistors would run cooler, faster, better, and cheaper as they got smaller and were crammed more closely together? Suppose you knew the law of the microcosm: that the cost-effectiveness of any number of "n" transistors on a single silicon sliver would rise by the square of the increase in "n." As an investor knowing this Moore's law trajectory, you would have been able to predict and exploit a long series of developments: the emergence of the PC; its dominance over all other computer form factors; the success of companies making chips, disk drives, peripherals, and software for this machine. With a slight effort of intellect, you could have extended the insight and prophesied the digitization of watches, records (CDs), cellular phones, cameras, TVs, broadcast satellites, and other devices that can use miniaturized computer power. If you did not know precisely when each of these benisons would flourish, you would have known that each one was essentially inevitable. To calculate approximate dates, you had only to guess the product's optimal price of popularization and then match its need for mips (millions of instructions per second) of computer power with the cost of those mips as defined by Moore's law. Merely by using this technique of Moore's law matching--and holding to it with unshakable conviction for nearly 20 years--I became known as a "futurist." Today I await the death of television, telephony, VCRs, and analog cameras with utter confidence as Moore's law unfolds. You can tell me about the 98% penetration of TVs in American homes, the continuing popularity of couch-potato entertainments, the effectiveness of broadcast advertising, and the profound and unbridgeable chasm between the office appliance and the living-room tube. But I will pay no attention. Just you wait--Jack Welch, Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch, John Malone, and David Jennings--the TV will die and you may be too late for the Net. It is now 1997, and a stream of dramatic events certifies that another law, as powerful and fateful and inexorable as Moore's, is gaining a similar sway over the future of technology. It is what I have termed the law of the telecosm. Its physical base lies in the same quantum realm of eigenstates and band gaps that governs the performance of transistors and also makes photons leap and lase. But the telecosm reaches beyond components to systems, combining the science of the electromagnetic spectrum with Claude Shannon's information theory. In essence, as frequencies rise and wavelengths drop, digital performance improves exponentially. Bandwidth rises, power usage sinks, antenna size shrinks, interference collapses, error rates plummet. The law of the telecosm ordains that the total bandwidth of communications systems will triple every year for the next 25 years. As communicators move up-spectrum, they can use bandwidth as a substitute for power, memory, and switching. This results in far cheaper and more efficient systems. In 1996, the new fiber paradigm emerged in full force. Parallel communications in all-optical networks became the dominant source of new bandwidth in telecom. Like Moore's law, the law of the telecosm will reshape the entire world of information technology. It defines the direction of technological advance, the vectors of growth, the sweet spots for finance. AMERICA'S DARK SECRET FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, American companies have been laying optical fiber strands at a pace of some 4,000 miles a day, for a total of more than 25 million strand miles. Five years ago, the top 10% of U.S. homes and businesses were, on average, a thousand households away from a fiber node; now they are a hundred households away. However, the imperial advance of this technology conceals a dark secret, which has led to a pervasive underestimation of the long-term impact of photonics. Sixty percent of the fiber remains "dark" (unused for communications) and even the leading-edge "lit" fiber is being used at less than one ten-thousandth of its intrinsic capacity. This problem has prompted leaders in the industry, from Bill Gates and Andy Grove to Bob Metcalfe and Mitch Kapor, to underrate drastically the impact of fiber optics. Restricting the speed and cost-effectiveness of fiber has been an electronic bottleneck and a regulatory noose. In order for the signal to be amplified, regenerated, or switched, the light pulses had to be transformed into electronic pulses by optoelectronic converters. For all the talk of the speed of light, fiber-optic systems therefore could pass bits no faster than the switching speed of transistors, which tops out at a cycle time of between 2.5 and 10 gigahertz. Meanwhile, telecom companies could not deploy new low-cost fiber products any faster than the switching speed of politicians and regulators, which tops out roughly at a cycle time of between 2.5 years and a rate of evolution measurable only by means of carbon 14. Nonetheless, the intrinsic capacity of every fiber line is not 2.5 gigahertz. Nor is it even 25 gigahertz, which is roughly the capacity of all the frequencies commonly used in the air, from AM radio to kA band satellite. The intrinsic capacity of every fiber thread, as thin as a human hair, is at the least one thousand times the capacity of what we call the "air." One thread could carry all the calls in America on the peak moment of Mother's Day. One fiber thread could carry 25 times more bits than last year's average traffic load of all the world's communications networks put together: an estimated terabit (trillion bits) a second. Over the last five years, technological breakthroughs and legislative loopholes have begun to open up this immense capacity to possible use. Following concepts pioneered and patented by David Payne at the University of Southampton in England, a Bell Laboratories group led by Emmanuel Desurvire and Randy Giles developed a workable all-optical device. They showed that a short stretch of fiber doped with erbium, a rare earth mineral, and excited by a cheap laser diode can function as a powerful amplifier over fully 4,500 gigahertz of the 25,000 gigahertz span. Introduced by Pirelli of Italy and popularized by Ciena Corporation of Savage, Maryland, and by Lucent and Alcatel, today such photonic amplifiers are a practical reality. Put in packages between two and three cubic inches in size, the erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) fit anywhere in an optical network for enhancing signals without electronics. This invention overcame the most fundamental disadvantage of optical networks compared to electronic networks. You can tap into an electronic network as often as desired without eroding the voltage signal. Although resistance and capacitance will leach away the current, there are no splitting losses in a voltage divider. Photonic signals, by contrast, suffer splitting losses every time they are tapped; they lose photons until eventually there are none left. The cheap and compact all-optical amplifier solves this problem. It is an invention comparable in importance to the integrated circuit. Just as the integrated circuit made it possible to put an entire computer system on a single sliver of silicon, the all-optical amplifier makes it possible to put an entire system on a seamless seine of silica--glass. Unleashing the law of the telecosm, it makes possible a new global economy of bandwidth abundance. Five years ago when I first celebrated the radical implications of erbium-doped amplifiers, skepticism reigned. I was summoned to Bellcore, where the first optical networks had been built and then abandoned, to learn the acute limits of the technology from Charles Brackett and his team. I had offered the vision of a broadband fibersphere--a worldwide web of glass and light--where computer users could tune into favored frequencies as readily as radios tune into frequencies in the atmosphere today. But Brackett and other Bellcore experts told me that my basic assumption was false. It was no simpler, they said, to tune into one of scores of frequencies on a fiber than to select time slots in a time-division-multiplexed (TDM) bitstream. Indeed, electronic switching technology was moving faster than optical technology. In the face of the momentum and installed base of electronic switching and multiplexing, the fibersphere with hundreds of tunable frequencies would remain a fantasy, like Ted Nelson's Xanadu. In 1997 the fantasy is coming true around the world. Xanadu has become the World Wide Web. The erbium-doped fiber amplifier is an explosively growing $250 million business. Electronic TDM seems to have topped out at 2.5 gigabits a second. TDM gear has suffered a series of delays and nagging defects and so far has failed in the market. Electronic TDM failed not only because it pushed the envelope of electronics but also because it violated the new paradigm. In single-mode fiber, the two key impediments are nonlinearities in the glass and chromatic dispersion (the blurring of bit pulses because even in a single band different frequencies move at different speeds). Chromatic dispersion increases by the square of the bit rate, and the impact of nonlinearities rises with the power of the signal. High-powered, high-bit-rate TDM flunked both telecosm tests. By contrast, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) follows the laws of the telecosm; it succeeds by wasting bandwidth and stinting on power. WDM takes some 33% more bandwidth per bit than TDM, but it reduces power to combat nonlinearity and divides the bitstream into multiple frequencies in order to combat dispersion. Thus it can extend the distance or increase capacity by a factor of four or more today and can lay the foundations for the fibersphere tomorrow. In 1996 the new fiber paradigm emerged in full force. Parallel communications in all-optical networks, long depicted as a broadband pipe dream, crushed all competitors and became the dominant source of new bandwidth in the world telecom network. The year began with a trifold explosion at the Conference on Optical Fiber Communication in San Jose when three companies--Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs, NTT Labs, and Fujitsu--all announced terabit-per-second WDM transmissions down a single fiber. Sprint confirmed the significance of the laboratory breakthroughs by announcing deployment of Ciena's MultiWave 1600 WDM system, so called because it can increase the capacity of a single fiber thread by 1,600%. The revolution continues in 1997. At the beginning of January, NEC declared that by increasing the number of bits per hertz from one to three, it had raised the laboratory WDM record to three terabits per second. During 1996, MCI had increased the speed of its Internet backbone by a factor of 25, from 45 megabits a second to 1.2 gigabits. On January 6, Fred Briggs, chief engineering officer at MCI, announced that his company is in the process of installing new WDM equipment from Hitachi and Pirelli that increases the speed of its phone network backbone to 40 gigabits per second. Accelerating MCI's previous plans by some two years, the new system will use a more limited form of wavelength-division multiplexing to put four 10-gigabit in-cause formation streams on a single fiber thread. The first deployment will use existing facilities on a 275-mile route between Chicago and St. Louis, but the technology will be extended to the entire network. This move will consummate a nearly thousandfold upgrade of the MCI backbone, from 45 megabits per second to 40 gigabits, within some 36 months. Ciena, meanwhile, has announced technology that allows transmission of 100 gigabits per second. Its February IPO was the most important since Netscape (market cap at the end of the first trading day: $3.4 billion). Why? Ciena is the industry leader in open standard WDM gear. During the first six months the MultiWave 1600 was available, through October 1996, the firm achieved $54.8 million in sales and $15 million in net income. (Lucent is believed to be the overall leader with more than $100 million of mostly proprietary AT&T systems.) At the same time, the trans-Pacific consortium announced that it would deploy 100-gigabit-per-second fiber in its new link between the United States and Asia. A powerful new player in these markets will be Tellabs, currently the fastest-growing supplier of electronic digital cross-connect switches and other optical switching gear. In a further coup, following its purchase of broadband digital radio pioneer Steinbrecher, Tellabs has signed up all 12 principals in IBM's all-optical team. Headed by Paul Green, recent chairman of the IEEE Communications Society and author of the leading text on fiber networks, and by Rajiv Ramaswami, coauthor of a new 1997 text on the subject, the IBM group built the world's first fully functioning all-optical networks (AONs), the Rainbow series. Tellabs now owns the 11 AON patents and 100 listed technology disclosures of the group. The implications of the WDM paradigm go beyond simple data pipes. The greatest impact of all-optical technology will likely come in consumer markets. A portent is Artel Video Systems of Marlborough, Massachusetts, which recently introduced a fiber-based WDM system that can transmit 48 digital video channels, 288 CD-quality audio bitstreams, and 64 data channels on one fiber line. Aggregating contributions from a variety of content sources--each on different fiber wavelengths--and delivering them to consumers who tune into favored frequencies on conventional cable, the Artel system represents a key step into the fibersphere. It can be used for new services by either cable TV companies or telcos. The deeper significance of the Artel product, however, is its use of bandwidth as a replacement for transistors and switches. The Artel system works on dark fiber without compression. The video uses 200-megabit-per-second bitstreams (compare MPEG2 at 4 to 6 megabytes per second) that permit lossless transmissions suitable for medical imaging, and obviate dedicated processing of compression codes at the two ends. A move to massively parallel communications analogous to the move to parallel computers, all-optical networks promise nearly boundless bandwidth in fiber. According to Ewart Lowe of British Telecom, whose labs at Martlesham Heath in Ipswich have been a fount of all-optical technology, the new paradigm will reduce the cost of transport by a factor of 10. For example, the optoelectronic amplifiers previously used in fiber networks entailed nine power-hungry bipolar microchips for each wavelength, rather than a simple loop of doped silica that covers scores of wavelengths. As these systems move down through the network hierarchy, the growth of network bandwidth and cost-effectiveness will not only outpace Moore's law, it will also excel the rise in bandwidth within computers--their internal "buses" connecting their microprocessors to memory and input-output. While MCI and Sprint move to deploy technology that functions at 40 gigabits a second, current computers and workstations command buses that run at a rate of close to 1 gigabit a second. This change in the relationship between the bandwidth of networks and the bandwidth of computers will transform the architecture of information technology. As Robert Lucky of Bellcore puts it, "Perhaps we should transmit signals thousands of miles to avoid even the simplest processing function." Lucky implies that the law of the telecosm eclipses the law of the microcosm. Actually, the law of the microcosm makes distributed computers (smart terminals) more efficient regardless of the cost of linking them together. The law of the telecosm makes broadband networks more efficient regardless of how numerous and smart are the terminals. Working together, however, these two laws of wires and switches impel ever more widely distributed information systems, with processing and memory in the optimal locations. WHAT SHOULD THE MAJOR PLAYERS DO NOW? FOR THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES, the age of ever smarter terminals mandates the emergence of ever dumber networks. Telephone companies may complain of the large costs of the transformation of their system, but they command capital budgets as large as the total revenues of the cable industry. Telcos may recoil in horror at the idea of dark fiber, but they command webs of the stuff 10 times larger than any other industry. Dumb and dark networks may not fit the phone company self-image or advertising posture. But they promise larger markets than the current phone company plan to choke off their own future in the labyrinthine nets of an "intelligent switching fabric" always behind schedule and full of software bugs. Telephone switches (now 80% software) are already too complex to keep pace with the efflorescence of the Internet. While computers become ever more lean and mean, turning to reduced instruction-set processors and Java stations, networks need to adopt reduced instruction-set architectures. The ultimate in dumb and dark is the fibersphere now incubating in their magnificent laboratories. The entrepreneurial folk in the computer industry may view this wrenching phone company adjustment with some satisfaction. But computer firms must also adjust. Now addicted to the use of transistors to solve the problems of limited bandwidth, the computer industry must use transistors to exploit the nearly unlimited bandwidth. When home-based machines are optimized for manipulating high-resolution digital video at high speeds, they will necessarily command what are now called supercomputer powers. This will mean that the dominant computer technology will first emerge not in the office market but in the consumer market. The major challenge for the computer industry is to change its focus from a few hundred million offices already full of computer technology to a billion living rooms now nearly devoid of it. Cable companies possess the advantage of already owning dumb networks based on the essentials of the all-optical model of broadcast and select--of customers seeking wavelengths or frequencies rather than switching circuits. Cable companies already provide all the programs to all the terminals and allow them to tune in to the desired messages. But the cable industry cannot become a full-service supplier of telecommunications unless the regulators give up their ridiculous two-wire dream in which everyone competes with cable and no one makes any money. Cash-poor and bandwidth-rich, cable companies need to collaborate with telcos--which are cash-rich and bandwidth-poor--in a joint effort to create broadband systems in their own regions. In all eras, companies tend to prevail by maximizing the use of the cheapest resources. In the age of the fibersphere, they will use the huge intrinsic bandwidth of fiber, all 25,000 gigahertz or more, to simplify everything else. This means replacing nearly all the hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of switches, bridges, routers, converters, codecs, compressors, error correctors, and other devices, together with the trillions of lines of software code, that pervade the intelligent switching fabric of both telephone and computer networks. The makers of all this equipment will resist mightily. But there is no chance that the old regime can prevail by fighting cheap and simple optics with costly and complex electronics and software. The all-optical network will triumph for the same reason that the integrated circuit triumphed: It is incomparably cheaper than the competition. Today, measured by the admittedly rough metric of mips per dollar, a personal computer is more than 2,000 times more cost-effective than a mainframe. Within 10 years, the all-optical network will be thousands of times more cost-effective than electronic networks. Just as the electron rules in computers, the photon will rule the waves of communication. I know people would not write it..But worth a try:)

what is the most important feature of a cellular (SMART) phone to YOU??!? with all the new gadgets out these days they have so many new features... if u were going to buy a new phone(by new i mean something made within the last six months) what features would be the most important factor in makin your decision??? APPS- are fairly new to android and i phone... all the new phones have em and some have better access to them than others CONNECTIVITY- HDMI, blutooth, wifi, mobile hotspot, 4g, "The Cloud" these are all ways to keep your phone super connected, but are not neccessary to make a basic phone call. CAMERA(S)- Now how many cameras does a phone really need and how many pixels?? But for some... a camera is the main selling point, What about u? SCREEN SIZE(resolution) The Dell streak has a 5" screen. I have 2g phones that have less than a inch screen. SOCIAL NETWORKING "friends!?! how many of us have them?!?!" If i left one off...ADD IT>> for me right now i think screen size is the most important because... they only make one phone that has the screen size i want and... it has a crap operating system so... I will be waiting for the PSP2 to come out... i hope im not dissapointted

How would the Philippines cope if suddenly,,,,,? If suddenly there was no cellular phone service and all cell phones went dead. Nothing, just a blank screen. Dead batteries meaning no games to play on cell phone or no camera. Makes me wonder how did everyone get by without one before. Everyone has at least 1 cell phone. Like what is so important that it cannot wait until you are together. Anyway, just a thought since I have to constantly dodge people texting as they walk.

What are some of the best Android phones out there? Hi, guys! I want to get an Android phone really badly. However, I don't know much about smart phones. I've never had one. All I know is that almost everyone has an Android or iPhone. I've researched which one is better and I've come to the conclusion that the Android is better in terms of features, design, versatility, apps, etc. I'm looking for an Android that: - has an excellent camera and camcorder - easy-to-use touch screen (not annoying) - size: not too big or small, and not too fat or thin - has a sleek design I have U.S. Cellular if that helps as well. It doesn't offer much when it comes to nice phones, I know that. I don't think my parents will switch to Verizon Wireless or AT&T. =P Does anyone also have any tips on searching for the best Android as well? What should I pay more attention towards? Thank you!

How can I use this old pinhole camera? I have an old pinhole camera that I successfully removed from an old cellular phone. It has a ribbon-like cable that comes out from it. What do I need to make it take photos again using my computer? If you want to get technical, yes, it is not a pinhole camera. I called it that merely because the hole in it is about the size of a large pin. Now, you explained to me what I have to do. However, I will not accept this answer because you did not tell me how to do it. Please, someone do so.

Help choosing between two potentially really good phones? *Please only answer this question if you know the specs of both phones. The iPhone 3G. (No, not 3GS.

Question about an LG Scoop and a Pink Motorola Q? Thanks:)? Hello. I have just recently been having difficulties with my Alltel LG Scoop that i purchased from the retail store about a year ago, with a prepaid plan. I have heard about purchasing cell phones off of ebay and somehow switching the sims card from the old phone to the new, and still have it activate. My question is, is it possible to buy a Motorola Q, such as this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/Pink-Motorola-Q-PDA-Camera-Smart-Phone-Cellular-South_W0QQitemZ140339686204QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_s_Pocket_PC_s?hash=item20ace5ab3c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14, and switch the sims card from my Alltel LG Scoop to this? If not, would it cost much to have the salesman at the store switch them somehow. As you can tell, I'm not very educated on this. I was just trying to get a new phone at the lowest price possible, but keep my current prepaid plan. Thanks so much for helping me!! All answers will be greatly appriciated. :D

I was attacked yesterday. Originally posted in wrong section.? I was attacked in the area of the Bronx, New York yesterday by a group of vicious black thugs and was relieved of my camera, cellular phone, wallet and watch. I was enjoying the monuments and sights of New York with a friend of mine, Dangerous Davinder at about 8pm yesterday. We were dressed casually as most New Yorker's do with a shirt and jeans outfit, and we were also planning to visit the famous disco of New York later on while our arranged wives were at home in Delhi. We were walking back to our hotel and spotted a group of young thugs listening to poetry on a boombox, so I thought it would be an excellent oppurtunity to take a photograph of them using my father's disposable Kodak camera he had bought me as a present. After I snapped it Dangerous Davinder made an excellently funny joke in Punjabi about me being a 'Peeping Parvesh' to which I laughed most heartily. Suddnley, a rather big young man of the group, wearing a cloth around his head approached me agressively. He was rather dark so I assumed he was from South India and due to the cloth on his head I also assumed he was Sikh, so I asked him "What are you doing around here, Guru?" . He was not amused. Immediately he grabbed me by the neck and his associates grabbed Davinder aswell. 6 of them were present and they pummelled us to within an inch of our lives. They stole all of our possessions, including my Robex watch new technology Camera. We fought valiantly but alas we were outnumbered. I don't see why were picked on, we dressed exactly as regular New Yorkers and in fact the attack may have been due to some jealousy as Davinder and I are well known lotharios in Mumbai. One of the females with the group actually complimented me and my associate as we were being beaten, claiming we were 'f.a.g.gots', which I learned from a good friend of mine in San Francisco is a something he gets called all the time. I will attach a few pictures of our trip for your pleasure: http://i6.tinypic.com/4tk598i.jpg http://i4.tinypic.com/638htoi.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/67n1c29.jpg Me http://i16.tinypic.com/66esf7l.jpg Davinder and I My question, is what can I do legally about this? It is much trouble for me to return to America for court preceedings so how shall I file suit against these criminals? Much thanks.
