Woman triumphs over cell phone

How do I access the Internet

How do I access the Internet or use instant messenging with with either a UK or Hong Kong version of the Motorola L7 phone (Cingular service)? I believe mine was made in Hong Kong but has a UK operating system on it. Anyway, Cingular along with a friend of mine who has the same problems says there is no solution. I've tried doing software updates to no avail. Can anyone help?

Nokia 6030 with service

Nokia 6030 with service through Cingular. How can I customize the menus and get rid of clutter, like Media.Net, Cingular Mail, Games and Apps. All I want is a phone to make calls on. Dont need the other cr*p.

Quad Band is always the way

Quad Band is always the way to go, and must say many people buy from eBay not realizing the mobile phone is blocked or locked in someway but you can get the phone unblocked and open to any sim for next to nothing in the UK about £10

hey there. I just purchased

Is that what its for?is it quad because of the 850/900/1800/1900 ?

I'm so fascinated by the technology that I'm learning about in cell phones. I'd love to have that single device that's my computer (with FULL functionality), my cell phone, my organizer, and even a VoIP line if I'm traveling overseas. And I'm sure that's where cell phone technology is heading. I just wish it were easier to use!

Thanks everyone! This is such as interesting topic to me.

Why the complication? As one

Why the complication?

As one person I spoke to recently said, "the U.S. is a third world country when it comes to cellular service."

Other countries now use their cell phones to buy sodas from a vending machine. An article in the Washington Post recently talked about the use of mobile phones as banks (money transfers -- yes, to the phone).

Still, the complications should be transparent; the phone should be just an appliance. But, yet -- they aren't just for making calls (or the occasional photo) any more.

"But if you're just using a

"But if you're just using a cell phone, with no built in organizer or hand-held computer capabilities, why in the world do you need all that sophistication in a phone?"

Simply... you don't. If you're using nothing but the cellular service, get a simple cellular phone like the Nokia 6030 which retails for $20. Forget quad band, memory slots, or additional features. This puts you in the virtually free, highly simple (comparatively) category.

The truth of the matter is, cell phone technology is pushing the limits of our concept of communication and the computer. MIT has been developing wearable computers for decades. Cell phones are an extension of the desire reflected in their work to be loosed from the chains of wired networks and workstations. This carries with it the price of support and device complexity - certainly in this, its infancy.

I'm personally on the hunt for a device that will let me travel for business or pleasure and completely leave my computer behind. It's an arduous journey fraught with pitfalls and disappointments but I continue on undeterred. The holy (wireless) grail is out there (if only now in the hearts and dreams of developers) and when I find it, I will, at last, be free to be bound to a small portable device instead of several bulky ones.
