Add E4300 to the list. Random freezes/death if multi-core or speedstep enabled. On multiple machines. Got the runaround and terrible support for about a year on the issue.

Dell is now officially a waste of time.

Looks like an internal pitch to get all the companies that would profit hyped up: Autos, Maintenance, telecom Service providers, telecom Hardware providers, Video cos, Music cos, Game cos, and on and on.

This may happen, but it's just a way for them to sell more shit and make you a good little corporate citizen.

It'll likely only marginally progress your useful connectivity, and only further the over-connectivity (to TV, net, etc) and the lack of direct human relationships which we are already suffering.

Hahah... you guys make me laugh over your bickering on what is not cheap. You really want "NOT CHEAP"? Have a look at Rogers (Canada).

- 3 Year Contract required (36 months!)
- Must Subscribe to separate voice & data plans
- Voice plans have a $400 early cancellation fee, data $100 more (no big loopholes like the US)
- Typical minimum voice/data is $25/$15 = $50 (typically couple hundred minutes & megs)
- But to get something (halfway!) decent, you're probably talking v/d $40/$30 = $70 (several hundred mins, features, gigs)
- BS System Access etc fees around $8-10/mo bring those to either $58 or $78

For 36 months we're talking over $3100, not including taxes! NOT CHEAP!!!

Last i checked, most places are *lacking* fresh water supply, if not in crisis now or in the near future.

Fresh Water Supply = Source of water + reserves + sterilization facilities + delivery infrastructure (pipes and pumps). This is expensive, hard to accomplish, and requires a lot of power. Some places in the world would be disgusted by us literally flushing fresh water "down the toilet".

So, as a "sign" on the end of your water tap that you are a "Stupid, Harmful, Freeloader", it would be great!

Sweet. Let the backwards compatible hardware trend ensue. ;)

Hmm - A GREEN light appears in front of the driver, and the driver accelerates, right through a RED TRAFFIC light, and turfs it in the intersection. Sounds smart.

All this, and they for some reason avoided the use of RED. BLUE is positive, not bad. Unless you BSOD of course.

Sweet thanks!

Yah, things made more sense when GSM (organization) and GSM (path) and GSM (radio) and GSM (infrastructure) and GSM (codec) all meant the same thing. Now it's just confusing as hell. To most consumers in NA tho, I think it just means "the phones with the SIM cards", or most likely to "work around the world".

GSM voice codec all the way! I use it every day!

Makes sense.

They'll do some BS press release that they're the first production with LTE by 2010 Olympics or something. But really it will just be demonstrative until the specs are ratified, hardware tested, rolled out.

Sure would be a fun time to be at TELUS - Moto and Nokia and Ericsson all wining and dining you for the right to sell base station equipment. Smart move on Telus/Bell's part too - now any soft/hardware for CDMA will be heavily discounted - and if not, your average Telus user simply won't see any upgrades in 3 years or more.

Folks,

The headline, preamble, and discussion are all incorrect.

This will not layer GSM on top. They are going straight to LTE.

HSPA != GSM

It's 8mm high, so it will work in the Lenovo X300, X301 series. Should also do just fine in a Macbook Air.

Unfortunatley, it's only 4,200 RPM, so it will cost you in performance.
