Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / August 2004Cell phones and GPS
Does Cingular (or any other) offer or are they planning on offering cell phones with a GPS location finder feature? Thanks. >Does Cingular (or any other) offer or are they planning on offering cell >phones with >a GPS location finder feature? Are you looking for something that you personally can use to locate yourself and maybe track through the woods or something? Probably not. As for 911 emergency services they are all being offered! -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >>Does Cingular (or any other) offer or are they planning on offering cell >>phones with [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Probably not. http://www.garmin.com/products/navTalkGSM/  SignatureSloth Kills! http://www.geocities.com/slothkills/ >>>Does Cingular (or any other) offer or are they planning on offering >>>cell [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > http://www.garmin.com/products/navTalkGSM/ Thanks. >>>> Does Cingular (or any other) offer or are they planning on offering >>>> cell [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks. That's the only thing that makes me wish I didn't live in the U.S. - cooler cell phones. >That's the only thing that makes me wish I didn't live in the U.S. - >cooler cell phones. Sadly, this particular one doesn't operate on the right frequency bands, but there's no reason why something similar cannot be produced for the US market. In fact, Garmin's original NavTalk was an AMPS analog cellular phone; why they chose to ignore the US market with their GSM NavTalk boggles the mind...

The reason is the babel in the US market, which greatly reduces the benefits of enconomy of scale, thanks to piss poor government policies. So instead of having a wealth of compatible product choices (as they do in Europe), we have a wealth of less attractive incompatible alternatives. SignatureBest regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular Is there any way to set the Samsung x427 to automatically set the correct time and adjust accordingly when traveling to other time zones, as my A400 did when I was with Sprint (the only benefit of that relationship, IMO)? Thanks. >>That's the only thing that makes me wish I didn't live in the U.S. - >>cooler cell phones. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > analog cellular phone; why they chose to ignore the US market with > their GSM NavTalk boggles the mind... yeah, i know the CAN produce the same phones for the US market, but the simple fact is they don't. I still wish we could make purchases from vending machines using our cell phones, or flirt with the girl sitting across from me on the subway by sending in infrared msg (or whatever that was i read about a while back). oh well. |
