What's to up front cost in the US the carriers use the data plan with actually cost them next to nothing to implement on top of voice to subsidize the phone. Yes you can get a Lumia for $50,A Galaxy for $100, a Pantec for free or an Iphone for $100 but it's with a two year plan. If you buy the phone outright no plan you end up seeing the true price of the device which is usually $300 to $500 of course if you do this you should not have to buy a tiered data plan as it's cost is to subsidize the phone.

A 1GHz cpu is hardly Jurassic it would have been a top of the line phone processor just a few years ago. The iphone 4 only had a 1Ghz cpu. Now the ram is very limited but S40 does not need much memory.

When you think about it the lines between a feature phone and a smart phone are very blurred. I guess you could make the call that a true smart phone allows native OS apps like the Lumia or N9 and a feature phone only allows java apps.

I was thinking the same thing.

That's one less patent troll company in this world a crap more load of them to go.

Or hacking UAVs. A hacker could crash the one of the predators US customs uses for border patrol into a building.

Mess up a Billion dollar rover US the government might drop a smart bomb on your location and say oops I guess the bomber got hacked.

I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder how much trouble they'd have with an Android or WP7 device or worse of all one of those linux devices that allow you to encrypt the files system. Still I don't think the FBI would have much trouble they'd likely read the flash chip directly if all else fails and have a super computer go to work on what they find.

You mean dystopia.

If Romney wants to win he really should steer far away from the tea party types like Paul Ryan as they're more a liability then an asset. His best chance to win would be to choose Ron Paul as a running mate. Yes this would piss off a lot of people in the GOP but the old GOP has become hated because of the Bush corruption and change is the only way they can regain what they have lost.

The only reason they're not going is because of apathetic people like yourself who are unwilling to do something about it. If everyone boycotted the airlines and wrote them as to why they were just for a week or two they'd pressure congress to allow them to kick out the much hated TSA.

I think this is very stupid on Hulu's part as many people use them as an alternative to satellite and cable. So why pay for their service if you already have cable?

I had to buy new hardware such as scanners and web cams when I moved to windows 7.

True Linux has won the embedded war it's even inside spacecraft and rockets now.
