JUST BUY AN UNLOCKED SMARTPHONE!! Of course, the concept of separating the purchase of a mobile device from a subscription to mobile services, and the freedom associated with such a concept, is totally alien to Americans... The American mobile industry is such a joke...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 1:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy-sponsored survey shows that Americans want smartphones even though they don't understand them]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's the monthly costs that gouge, not the one-time cost of the phone, genius. Unless you're a fool who juggles several unlocked handsets at a time and use them without data services during that brief time, it matters very little over the course of owning the phone whether it is unlocked or not. The number that matters (general consumers) aren't phone junkies in that sense.<br><br>Besides, that has nothing to do with why people buy a smartphone. What an uneducated tool.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[andonemorething]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 4:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy-sponsored survey shows that Americans want smartphones even though they don't understand them]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[@ andonemorething<br><br>Mark said the same thing, you can choose your carrier with an unlocked phone, therefore choosing a cheaper data plan. Learn to read and understand before unleashing your rage and undeservedly bashing someone. I pity your entourage.<br>Who's the adhd fool who doesn't have any patience to try and understand ?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vincent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 11:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy-sponsored survey shows that Americans want smartphones even though they don't understand them]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who's the ADHD fool, indeed, tool?<br><br>Mark's only solution is to buy unlocked phones. The issue this article brings is a fully different topic than what your BFF is ranting about. Besides that, his rant provides no solution, as switching sims doesn't address the issue of monthly fees outside of saving a buck or 2, here or there.<br><br>Fuck yourself back to the rock from whence you slithered, moron. (And you might want to stop by a convenience store to pick up a pack of gray matter on your way)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[andonemorething]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 9:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy-sponsored survey shows that Americans want smartphones even though they don't understand them]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/01/best-buy-sponsored-survey-shows-that-americans-want-smartphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[This article times a f*cking thousand.

I still like to question all of the kids, I am a kid myself (22), on why they have the G1. When I go into details, and really get down and dirty with inquiries, I lose them at SD card/sotrable apps. Sadly, this is true. I hate iPhone but I know alot about it. I can pick one up and immediately begin toying with it. I am not saying I knw everything but I know more than my coworker who just bought his 3G S. <br><br>For every 10 smartphones only-maybe-2 of them are really being used. That's a damn shame.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 7:43AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
