got a bill from Fido for 18 megs of data, 181$+ tax that alone.
The worst is that I have no idea how I did 18 megs!
WTF, i never browsed, and all I do is a bit of MSN messenger... I feel like being ripped off, something is wrong very wrongg.:whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:
When I got the phone, the dude (actually many dudes) told me that msn is very light and it takes just a bit of data... so WTF.:whip: :whip: :whip: |
Do you leave your MSN on? If its on then its constantly sending/receiving data to update people's online status and stuff like that.
Could add up to 18mb which isn't much at all if you think about it.
I only used 95MB and was using it pretty heavy...
I don't think there is ANY way I could use 6GB lol

ok they cancelled all the charges, still not telling me what were the data sources. weird.
I added a 2$/month for unlimited access to MSN and 3$/month for 125 msn messages... (weird billing system).
I installed garmin xt mobile on my samsung jack, and i was affraid it was connecting to the net... but thats not the case, I disabled all data connections/updates. |

Does your phone have a button that leads to the net automatically? I know it has happened to so many people I know where they hit the button by accident and the charges are huge! On my Nokia, I disabled the button, but I know on other phones, Sony especially, you cannot disable that button. |
dude thats the only thing i hate about my phone is the stupid net button that goes automatically online, one time i bought a ing game while it was in my pocket, thank god it was pacman so i did actually play it hahah but it cost me like 10 bucks for something i didnt do

Does anybody know of any cell phone with an ATSC tuner in it? I think that would be coolest thing here. Being able to get digital tv in the city for free would be awesome.
I know Japanese cell phones allow you to watch free digital TV there, but a quick google search for here, turned up nothing.
I am looking to get a new phone and switch providers, and this would be awesome. |

Adobe Unveils Photoshop.com Mobile Beta
If there are two things that Adobe knows like the back of its collective hand, they are photos and mobile software. We don’t know anyone young or old who doesn’t automatically say “Photoshop” when someone mentions photo editing. As for mobile software, Flash Lite currently resides on over 500 million handsets and that figure will only grow. So when Abode told us that today it would be unveiling the first beta version of its photo-centric mobile software, we can’t say we were surprised. After a demo however, we were also pretty excited. In a nutshell, the initial offering of Photoshop.com Mobile will be the third leg in a trifecta of account syncing - allowing you to capture and automatically (or manually) upload images from your mobile phone and have them sync between your mobile, Photoshop Express (online) and Photoshop Elements 7. In other words, your photos are automatically synced across mobile, cloud and desktop / laptop even as you edit and save them. Awesome! If you think that’s not a big deal, go ask Apple how it’s doing with MobileMe. From Francisco Kattan, director, Product Marketing and Developer Relations, Mobile and Device Solutions at Adobe:
With the rising popularity of camera phones and rich Flash based mobile applications, Adobe is giving consumers the ability to share their mobile photos at any time. With Photoshop.com Mobile Adobe is taking the first step to deliver on the promise of rich multi-screen experiences that seamlessly work on the desktop, in the browser and on mobile devices.
When it launches toward the end of September, Photoshop.com Mobile will be available for the following six Windows Mobile devices: Samsung Blackjack I, Samsung Blackjack II, Motorola MOTO Q 9h, MOTO Q Music 9m, Palm Treo 700 w/wx, and Palm Treo 750. More Windows Mobile handsets will be supported by year end 2008 but don’t fret if you don’t have a Windows handset. Adobe has a couple of partnerships in the works including Photoshop Express support for ShoZu that will make certain aspects of the mobile portion of their service available to hoards of additional handsets. Of course this might not offer the same rich experience as its Flash Lite-based Photoshop.com Mobile app but it will defintiely tide us over until more versions are launched. In terms of pricing, the Photoshop.com Basic account which offers 5 GB of storage is completely free while a Photoshop.com Plus membership offers more services such as templates and interactive online albums along with 20 GB of online storage for $49.99.

Good idea, but on the wrong OS. |

BLACKBERRY THUNDER (Rogers & Vodafone)
BLACKBERRY STORM (Verizon)
That was a nice roller-coaster ride, no? Our main man Chris Zigz over at Engadget Mobile scored actual BlackBerry Storm packaging renders, and well, the BlackBerry Storm doesn’t look to bringing that much rain. If we read the box correctly, it seems as if there is an 8GB microSD card pre-installed (totally weak in our opinion), a 3.5mm headset jack, pre-installed SIM card, and no Wi-Fi. It is indeed a global phone, as stated on the box, our original scoop, and the SIM card bit (duh!), but other intricate details are unavailable at this time. Oh yeah, the name! Here is the break down on that: the BlackBerry Storm is for Verizon, and the BlackBerry Thunder is the name for the device on other carriers such a Rogers and Vodafone. Wait, Rogers? So much for that huge exclusivity. We guess RIM realized they’d only have a limited run with Verizon being the sole carrier in North America, and we’re not so sure about having different names for the same device. It’s one thing to have different model numbers for the slightest variations (read: wack), but for the same device? Oh well. We’re still holding true to our rumored mid-September marketing blitz and mid-October release date on Verizon Wireless. |
