Alright, I admit it. When the iPhone debuted, I was intrigued. I thought I
might want one. Do I understand correctly that it does not use a SIM card
like other GSM phones? Everyone else I know is on Verizons network and
they're constantly nagging me to switch for the free calls ...

I'm a longtime Cingular (now att) customer eligible to upgrade my 8125 to a new phone.  When I look at the list of phones
eligible for me to upgrade to the iphone isn't included.  any idea why not?
Thanks,
Fred

I want to make it. The specs are 480X320. Is this the correct size? Will the
phone auto-size it?

Q: Why is charging of Motorola phones so slow on the travel charger?
A: The standard travel charger packaged by Motorola with many current
phones puts out insufficient power for fastest possible charging and for
continuous use while charging.

A friend of mine is being forced into the AT&T TDMA switch, but he wants
instead to go to a prepaid service.
So far, he has found a service that would charge a monthly fee to his
prepaid card, even if he doesn't make any calls.   This is not acceptable.

We have a couple of Virgin Mobile phones that we have for low usage.
Wanted to load them with our old contacts list.
Tried a data cable... but phones are crippled, and it doesn't work.
SO - Virgin Mobile has this new offering (as does US Cellular)

just noticed -
how come a newsgroup was never created
for the old PrimeCo / now US Cellular folks ?
