have you seen tmobile's blackberry flip phone commercial
its the one where the wife (or gf) says "no more talking to
the butt" and the husband (?) bounces on the couch and says
he just hung up?

well that is a wifi hotspot at home enabling phone, but no
mention of it--from first hand experience i know ppl that
sill have trouble grasping the seamless roaming concept and
they have had their phones for months, me pretty much just
the opposite as i had been wanting the phone for years

i guess what im driving at is tmoble is downplaying the whole
hotspot thing even though the numbers are growing, even more
so when they remove the intellectual barrier to entry by not
trying to explain the technology rather to get the phone into
ppls hands on its mono mode merit, and making it CHEAP enough
so that no one will say to them selves that "wont get the
dual mode phone cuz i dont understand it and 'l never use it"
w/ a plan the sleek blackberry flip is ony 50 bucks

I remember way back when MICHAEL ALLARD posted here alot
because he was one of the early ones to the qualcom party
saying that all clyw needed to do was "seed" the market
it looks like thats exactly what is going on w/ tmobile
and rimm's blackberry flip. No better way to instruct ppl
as to whether to go w/ a seamless roaming plan than to make
it standard fare. Customers are much more likely to acquire
the habit of off-loading if you give them a dual mode phone
no better way to maximize the likilhood that they will
eventually figure it out.

then if they never bother they cant say, "you sold me this
phone w/ all this hard to understand technology and since ive
never been able to figure it out you suck and im going w/
another carrier"

a highly more agressive tactic where silence is golden, clyw
should not be fooled by tmobiles strategy, it is a very
elusive and agressive infringment agenda, qualcom should be
sited in the arguements to illustrate the concept of "seeding
the market", and how their soft sell acomplishes it--
regardless of whether its a dodge or not its still an aggressive infringment
