I mean, if its true, why not say it

I would...heck in my town(its in South Jersey) I got NO Verizon service when I switched to AT&T. I get 3G here on AT&T


(I'm not saying AT&T is universally better then Verizon, nor is its the other way around, but I hate this "One network sucks for all" crap people post here so much)

Do research, get what works best for you!

Looks promising...I assume 2 core Atom will handle things quite nicely, not a speed demon, but worth the cost. I am interested how it compared to ULV chips(like Core 2s and AMD Neo)

Lots of people respond no "iPhone is limited to 1 app at a time", thats true for 3rd party apps....I'm not saying that I enjoy or support that limit, but for naive apps, you can indeed surf, talk and use GPS at the same time, because Apple ships those apps with the iPhone.

AT&T could run an add explaining that, because it is true.

US bound? US bands? Price?

This looks like a fine lower end Android device, I just want details please!

Hope the us gets it around there too! There is a huge lack of 3G andriod devices for AT&T from main steam retailer here...hoping that changes soon!

Comparing cars to cell phones? Why? Clearly there is a big
difference in the models of each of those industries....phone companys are pay for your phone(so it's cheaper and more people sign up), so they need something to keep from ending the contract early, so they don't sell 599 phones for 199, then lose the service fees of the person who just bought it

how that is like buying a car, I have no idea

ETFs should be there for a company to secur back the money they put worth to decrease the upfront cost of the phone, which you pay back over the contract time. So having 120 after 23 months clearly doesn't make sense.

That said, services costs shouldn't be the same for those bringing their own phones, not that verizon let's you do that yet....point is cell companies in the USA aren't very rational

Its on sale to anyone, with the right amount of cash...just happens to only be in America, but if you want to jump on a plane, someone could buy it.(Not much reason unless you live in an area with a CDMA network, but hey, no one is stopping ya) But the GSM Hero has already been for sale to many people in other nations.
