Fones in the land of the Burger

[j.m@talk]

Are they all Quad band or do ya make do with Tri Band ?

Or Do the fone companies make fones just for the Nth American market

Or what ?

[leprechaun_40]

I don't know :(

[j.m@talk]

What Make & model fone ya got ? ........ I'll read up on it :D

Boring as Bat Shizz Bumf on GSM to read (http://www.thetravelinsider.info/roadwarriorcontent/quadbandphones.htm)

Well they say GSM the G standing for Global ......... But it should be Global except for North America cos once again they have bucked the trend & gone for the cheap option...... But I guess the acronym would be too long & need a acronym itself :rolleyes:

[leprechaun_40]

I gots a Motorola V3 t razr

[j.m@talk]

Yeah ..... Its Quad band that ...... Theys quite dear Quad band fones here still ...... Well I say dear £100 ....... as against £30 for a dualband..... which is good for anywhere bar Nth Merica (& Japan/Sth Korea) Traa Laaa laaa :t

[drewster]

I have an LG cu575 or trax it comes up on 3G on the screen but I think it's quad too ?

[leprechaun_40]

Tiz a nice phone, looks cool too. Like the bluetooth head set so I can use it hands free. One little irritation is that it shows the time, but not the date. Yep, no month and day thing. I find that an oddity. Looking to find a hack for it too. Yup, there's hacker sites for it, LOL

I got this Samsung off of the Bay just over a year ago ....... Works fine..... I can't get on with those blootoof headsets ...... If you have em on all day..... I found they used to make my ear ache ..... Plus the batts in the headsets are poo....

I gotta Nokia Blootoof adaptor (CK-7W) ya mount behind the dash & it comes on wiv the accessories when ya turns tha key ........ Problem is if ya fone is in ya back pocket & ya drivin along, the reception can be poor due to the signal having to fight its way out from under ya acre ;)

[leprechaun_40]

Yeah, I have the same problem with the ear piece, makes it sore after a while. I usually only use it when driving, so I take it off when walking, etc. Battery seems to be good though. Never tried one of those thingys for the car. I don't need my phone that much. No one calls me :(

[j.m@talk]

Well its handy fer the pervo lines :D

They ain't that dear if ya gets em' used off of tha bay ....... Three wires + Perm -neg +Switched ..... Then plug in the mic, speaker & a lil button ...... Which ya mount with sticky velcro stuff...... The cops rain helll on ya here if ya not hands free :(

[leprechaun_40]

Well, we's sposed to be hands free here, but the cops seem to be retarded and not notice some shizz head with a phone stuck to his ear. I'd like to be able to shoot all of em as I drive by. :mad:

[j.m@talk]

Well its kinda tight here, when ya on the city orbital motorway ten feet from the car in front doing 85mph & the dozy cow is on to her mates about a new handbag she just bought........ 60Million people stuck on a lil island ....... It gets a bit spooky somtimes :t

[leprechaun_40]

Well, here in the east coast, there's way too many warm bodies, and none of them have a clue as to how to pilot a motor vehicle, adding a fone to the ear seems to lower the IQ into negative numbers too. Can't wait to go west, they drive a tad better and are fewer in numbers.

[j.m@talk]

Yeah a moderately trained baboon could pass the US driving test ;)

[leprechaun_40]

I think that some states fore go the training. It's really bad these days. Some people think driving is a right, not a privilege.

[j.m@talk]

I've had loadsa training for this & that: Car, car with trailer, Bus, Bus with trailer, Bendi Bus, Up to 7.5 T truck... Ohh fork truck on rough terrain etc etc ...... & I still hate parking cars ;) anything else fine ...... Cars umm no fanx ;)

That takes some skill to go thro all that & still be fairly useless :D

What's the reason for the initial inquiry? PLEASE tell me it's not that you're planning a visit here. Open warfare between our countries ended in 1815 and I quite prefer it that way. :t

[j.m@talk]

I did a mock theory test for some states DMV a while ago ..... dunnoo which one & I got 90% ....... Not bad considering I've had zip training in the Nth yankee way O' dooing stuff. :t

[leprechaun_40]

If it was Mass they don't have a drivers test anymore, no one would pass if they did :eek: ;)

[j.m@talk]

What I try to get my head around .... fail miserably are your traffic "Laws" well more the on the fact that you could be driving down High street 90210 under one set of regulations one day & the day after you could be driving down High street 83210 & a completely different set of Laws would apply....... The French & Australian govts manage large countries too, they are able to apply "National Traffic Laws" ...... Why can't J00's ?

[leprechaun_40]

That'd make it easy

We're 50 different states, under one common federal government for international purposes - but we're still fifty different states. Why the heck should we be all the same? You're not the same as Belgians; Floridians aren't the same as Californians. They have their laws, we have ours. That won't change unless our constitution is radically changed, since it was the governments of the States that created the federal government in 1787.

We ain't the same as the Belgians your right & we don't claim to live in Belgium either...... Ya know that's probably why.

Perhaps you lot calling your selves the United States of America is what's doing it ...... Cos ya not really "United" at all. :t

The European Parliament is a Federal gov't (Of sorts) too, relatively newly formed tho'. Guess what, it deals with Pan European Matters, & its rulings are Pan European too ...... Fantastic :t

Fantastic :tYeqh, and some New World Order types are already calling you guys the United States of Europe. :rolleyes: There, just as here, you have a few malcontents overselling the desireability of the concept while the majority of people don't want to lose their national identities. Unfortunately, over here the big-government lovers have a 75-year head start on you guys.

[j.m@talk]

Its a simple case of ...... Strasbourg....? "Wear the Fox Hat" ;)

People (inc new world types) can gossip as much as they like :t

Although, now that I think about it, the anarchy would be preferable to some of the "civilization" that exists elsewhere.

[j.m@talk]
