I hope they get smaller than that eventually it could spell big trouble for the Networks. As it runs XP it will defiantly run Skype which must work out cheaper than a Network and now does SMS along side SkypeIn, SkypeOut,Call forwarding, Answerphone, i don't think i missed anything. But how much subscriptions will be for WiMax is anyones guess just now. I do lke the comcept though it needs to be smller IMO. Marc On 7 Nov 18:15 Prom1 wrote Well its finally been done! Bravo Samsung - then again I didnt quite expect Nokia to be the first. In Denver Colorado they have WiMax that covers 20 miles radius and it SUCKS - rain clouds show up and your service is dead. I'll wait another 5 years for it to mature. On 7 Nov 17:23 Rifqi wrote Cool. Just wonder how is the device in close mode? |
