Damn Guys! I didn't mean to cause such a ruccus! BTW, I didn't vote for GW Bush. But I don't want to get off of subject. We might as well just go in an Blitzkreig him just on the principle of him snubing his nose at the West (that includes England or any other democracy).

Fijbert don't get me started in a flame war. I was just commenting that I didn't like "stupid" and "american" in the same sentence. I am a proud American and thats that. As far as Bush taking us down. Heh, if some of you Euros would get soem backbone maybe Saddam woulnd't be a problem at all. Don't get me started dude. I don't wanna trade insults with you but I can with the best if thats what you want. I suggest we leave the thread to die.

I just wanted to comment on why America doesn't have "more advanced" phones. Its all about the money. Companies such as nokia profit a lot more from selling millions on one type of phone, such as the nokia 3390, then selling 5 different color phones. Also if all these new phones were released, people would upgrade, and maybe not purchase a new phone for several years. But if they release the phones as they are doing now, just putting on feature worth upgrade on a phone, companies benefit more. An example of this is hydrogen cell powered cars. There is sophisticated enough technology to produce hydrogen cell powered cars. But if companies just mass produced them and released them to the public, it would completly distrupt the economy. Another example is computer processors. Companies such as Intel, release their products in incriments, deriving more sales. If they just released a super processor, it would disrupt the economy. WOw i just wrote a lot of crap that probally isnt' true, but i think i'm close. haha wat an unuseful post. Sorry people. i agree, many Americans are ignorant. GO MEXICANS., hahah everyone hates them, !

I also am a proud American (Filipino-American) to be exact. I voted for Gore not Bush. But that's picking between Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum. Anyway we're getting off topic here. It's true that the U.S. is slow to adopt cell phone technologies like GSM with TDMA and CDMA providers wrestling for more customers. As for phones, te U.S is slow as well. That's why I bought my P800 in the Philippines since I'm on vacation anyway. I plan to go with T-Mobile when I return. Well...that's it for my 2¢. This message was posted from a P800

90% of their network is Analog/TDMA/CDMA. What kind of phones do you expect people to use? The other thing is that with this phones it is very difficult to transfer the phonebook from one phone to the other one when upgrading a phone + you have to call the provider in order to switch you to the new phone. It is not like the GSM ones that you can have 10 of them and every day just take the SIM card and put it to another phone and ready to go. That is the major reason why Americans don't change phones very often. And also they are not well educated about phones because they never knew what unlocked phones are. They knew only about the phones their network provider would sell. Now that GSM is finally growing in USA things are changing a bit, but only 10% of Americans are using GSM.

Hey thats getting interessting. Political issues.... One Point is clear, Mr. Bush is a very bad example of an american. But you cant blame all americans for only one asshole! I am against the war in Irak, but dont forget that, the biggest Anti War Demo was in Washington. However there are others more advanced Technologies in the US. We are all just a family, we are all fans, no matter where you all come from........

Amen
Mr Bush, his administration and his plan for war:
