small per-use-fee? Sigh. They see GPRS as a profit source, to drive profit to their own partners. Rather than a service to provide to users. That's a depressing prospect. All this openmoko and no web? I wonder if cingular is any better...

Silent mode timeout

2007-01-29 Thread Ben Burdette
A simple feature that I'd like to see is a silent mode timeout. What always happens with my current phone is I set it to silent mode because I'm in a movie or a meeting, and then later I forget to turn the ringer back on. This leads to a lot of missed calls. You could have a default timeout
