They’re already two years late providing WiFi on the handset

Wifi, a separate data channel to the phone – that would be competition for the data traffic recurring revenue part of the handset wouldn’t it?

We’d put that off as long as possible, wouldn’t we? Why give customers choices when you can railroad them into no choices & divvy up the loot?

SIP? That’d be competition for the recurring revenue part of the handset, wouldn’t it? E.g. long distance and international calling. We’d put that off as long as possible, wouldn’t we? Why hook up the customer when we can force the customer to buy from the company store and share the loot with the carrier?

As with most of the mobile scene in USA, the handset makers care a lot more about how the carriers make out than really “styling” the customer with a decent feature set that saves them money and gives them choices.

The BlackBerry is such a fossil to begin with – their “new super-advanced” model is just now offering 3G about two and a half years late.

Americans don’t choose their phones. The carriers do.

Everybody stateside gets their phone from The Sprint Store or the Verizon or T-Mobile store or whatever, from a heavily pruned lineup of loss leaders & longterm revenue maximizers.

These are not smart purchases, these are simply bait to lure debt-loving Americans to sign up for another long-term debt obligation.

Money-saving features are the ***LAST*** thing you will ever find at the Company Store, on the Two Year Contract plan.

I’m an American living overseas and have been making $400 – $500 a month worth of international calls to US cellphones and landlines for free via SIP with a $200 Nokia E70. About $8,000 worth of free calling to date.

People – a SIP-capable phone is an investment that *pays you *, something that puts *money in your pocket every day* via free calling via SIP. For me about $10 every day that I do not pay to a carrier. I make all the calls, I get all the value, I just do it in a way that means the money stays in my pocket. My phone pays for itself twice every month.

Your phone, from the Company Store in back home, does not.

Carriers are scheming how to take as much money as legally possible *out* of your pocket every day. Why would you buy your phone from them?

I could *buy a car* with the $8,000 SIP has saved me over the last 20 months.

How much money has your two-year contract with the Company Store saved you? D’ya think they mighta planned it that way?

Do you even like your phone and service plan that your still probably owe a grand on? Do you still have the option to pay $200 to get out of your contract?

Prepaid minutes, no contract, SIP, and buying your own phone with your own brain, on the merits, is the way to go.

You’ll never see a North American company do this. European companies, like Nokia, yes.. but in NA.. never! Not until all parties (handset makers and wireless providers) are assured they will not loose a cent.

SIP is requested by many customers. Their need is clear, they don’t want to have two phones, they only want one and
this is logical. Without SIP, you have to buy, to manage, to power, to maintain … two phones.

You should take this in consideration.
