Shocking development: Guess who's on US TV!
 
I just saw a T-Mobile TV ad promoting 3 phones from a certain Finnish manufacturer.

I am still recovering from the shock.

Sigh, you Americans and your odd phone standards :p

Quadband, CDMA (although unfair to say US only) etc. Hehe in the UK and rest of Europe, not so shocking :p

Quadband??? That's not an American thing; we use two bands (850 & 1900), you use two bands (900 & 1800). You wanna work on all of them, you use a quadband phone. You wanna work in Europe etc., use a dualband 900/1800. You wanna work in the US, use a dualband 850/1900.

It's the evil multinational corporations that need quadband...

Yes, but because of America, for our phones to work there, we need to have quadband :P. And that's only to use T-Mobile & AT&T.

CDMA is odd :p

And in Canada we're still sitting on our pride ever since Marconi sent the first transatlantic message. We're still using the same system but now call it cell.

Marconi was Canadian? Or was he an even-more-evil traveling agent employee of some evil multinational?

No one is really Canadian. It's like a virtual membership to some countercultural geek club. And who would admit to such a thing, anyway?
