Sweet shots of Samsung's
Filed under: Cellphones, Digital Cameras 
We were getting a little sick of hearing Samsung SGH-A990 whispers here and there (and FCC filing thrown in for good measure), which is why we're rather thankful a little bird dropped off these sweet shots of Verizon's forthcoming handset -- one of the first Stateside (let alone from VZW) we've seen to feature a swiveling display. If our expectations are to be fulfilled, this hot little number won't only have EV-DO, but will drop with a QVGA display, MicroSD, Bluetooth, and a fat 3.2 megapixel camera.

However, since DSL providers have been let off the hook for this program, the FCC needed to make up for the shortfall, so the agency both instituted the VoIP component and raised cellular carriers' contribution from 3% to 4%. Since providers tend to pass new costs on to the consumer, we can probably expect to see higher VoIP bills in the near future, but luckily the recent repeal of that Spanish-American war-era excise tax should mostly balance things out on the cellphone side of things.

The concept of mobile phones in itself is highly innovative. Imagine staying connected with people who matter to you at all hours of the day and irrespective of the circumstances you are in! You could be taking a cab back home from a busy day at work, when you get a call from your little daughter asking you to hurry back
The mobile phone is a paradoxical device indeed. Seen as an anti-social device, its primary function is social. Go to the movies, parks, hotels or even in hospitals, there is no escape from the continuous beeps of the mobile phones, or from the meaningless tete-a-tete of their owners.
