It's only supported with some carriers, such as sprint and t-mobile.


They seem to flip back and forth about remote working. Less than 3 years ago: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2838-were-relocating-everyone...


Perhaps note the date and extreme sarcasm?

"Change is never easy. But we’re willing to do whatever it takes to be the most efficient company we can be. Now please excuse us, we’re off to get more productive. And secure. And dressed the same."


Check the date on that post. (it's an april fools joke)


That was an April Fool's joke (posted on April 1st). And even if the date wasn't the first...the whole article reads like an over-the-top satire.


They've started sending the MMS through email, at least for ones coming from Sprint users.


Changes in commodities prices in Chicago will have "known" affects on stock prices in NYC. If you can get the information between the two cities faster, then despite this equal access in the last leg you can still take advantage of knowing before the others.

This not true for all carriers. T-mobile has cheaper non-contract plans.

No-contract is 50 dollars for unlimited everything ($70 if you want 4G): http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans

With a contract it is 90 dollars for unlimited everything (which I believe is roughly standard across the industry): http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/individual-plans.aspx


Yes all 3 people note that you can get a cheaper contract on T-Mobile. However the 500 lb gorilla none of them mention is that T-Mobile's network really sucks:

Well, except that the protagonist is an obsessive ideologue nerd who would rather hate a Web browser than be happy. If that's supposed to be an apology then it's the ultimate "I'm sorry you feel that way".


Out of curiosity what device did you get? And what was your reason for switching?


I ended up getting the Samsung Focus S. I was convinced I was switching to Android and going to get the Galaxy Nexus after owning every iPhone since the 3G. However, after looking at several different phones I found the Mango UI to be the most innovative take on interfaces. I actually feel that as far as the core interface goes both Mango and Android have pulled far ahead of iOS.


For this bill, but it would show them that need to be representing their constituents.
