When this happened to me a while ago with a Powerbook, it turned out to be the (replaceable) plug end of the cord that was at fault. There was little indication that this was the problem, but the cord did sort of "sputter" when I first connected it at the wall. The plug end is easily replaceable

Re: [CGUYS] Will the iPhone Change Everything?

Too much could mean anything. You add that 700k in subscribers added is huge which it is, but verizon wouldn't know that the iphone would sell as such. Too much could have been forcing verizon to take off their logo...it could have been anything. You assume those changes verizon didn't want to

That is the 64,000 question why would any Cell phone company turn it down? I do know that Verizon still uses CDMA so that may have been an obstacle. It could be Verizon wanted Apple to enable and use Verizons get it now technology or Verizons web partners, but who really knows? A Verizon off

Re: [CGUYS] Will the iPhone Change Everything?

From just what I've heard, AT$T had to make no changes. The things apple touted such as being able to listen to any msg in any order is possible on any network, they simply don't let you do it. One possible outcome however is that other carriers will start enabling some features to keep custome

Re: [CGUYS] Will the iPhone Change Everything?

I heard something similar. Someone told me the reason that Apple went with one carrier is that in this exclusive arrangement they could negotiate to ensure that the cellular service supported the functionality of the phone that Apple wanted/ needed. If Apple had made the iPhone available to a

This is one area that really needs to change. In Europe you buy a phone, not cell phone service. Incoming calls are free. My brother is stationed over there right now. He was a little worried about getting a cell phone while over there. Once he got there a friend of his had a handful of pho

Re: [CGUYS] Will the iPhone Change Everything?

Hooey. Apple would set minimum requirements for the carriers if the FCC required them to open it up. If the FCC required opening phones to any carrier, Verizon would not be able to pull their stunts. Since AT&T paid Apple, I would bet the others would jump to meet Apple's requirements. Apple al

Re: [CGUYS] Will the iPhone Change Everything?

I don't see how this would be bad for the iPhone. If the FCC did force phone to open to any carrier, Apple's iPhone registration site would still be better than having to sign up with a sales person in a store. Apple would need to get agreements with other carriers and let customers select their c
