Hi Bev, Thanks for your comment and I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. Generally, banks do not give their applicants notices when their application was rejected or declined. If you are approved, the usual notification period and the possible time that you can receive your card is between 1-2 weeks. Meantime, if you are planning on applying for another credit card in the future, you may want to check to compare your options. Although just want to give you a heads-up that if your first application was declined, you may want to wait for a few months before you apply again so that you can avoid enquiries on your credit file. Hope this helps. Hi Alexander, Thanks for your inquiry. Most debit and credit card brands in the market may have more or less the same features, however, most likely, they would differ from the benefits they offer and they have different terms and conditions that govern their products, even if these brands are underwritten by the same institution. If you would like to make a comparison with Commonwealth Bank cards, you can get and find more information on Bankwest credit cards and on Bankwest Debit MasterCard on this. I hope this helps.

But my friend assured me that they only use Spell which is safe and has no side effects. I felt a little better and decided to contact DR OZO on his mail ([email protected] OR [email protected]) I contacted him through his email and explained everything to him. He said that I shouldn't worry, that my lover will come back to me on his knees begging for forgiveness. I bought an item that he told me to buy for the preparation of the spell and assured me that my lover will come to me within 48 hours in remorse. My greatest joy now is that he actually came back to me and fell on his knees begging for forgiveness. We got back together and our relationship has been better this second time around. I have to give DR OZO all the credit for helping us get back to a better place than where we began. The new found love that my boyfriend has for me is incredible and i can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Do you have any problem with your loved one?

The account is tied to the chip, not the phone, and even though all US vendors discourage this, you can hack your password and move your chip between phones (or multiple chips into a single phone.) If you go with AT&T initially and then switch to say, Cingular, in theory all they/you have to do is yank the AT&T chip and put in the Cingular one. The US is very backwards with allowing people to have this degree of power, but it's getting much better and this sort of network switching is more common internationally.

I have travelled around the country as well as used my phones extensively here and I have always found that Verizon has the best network, followed closely by AT&T (GSM and TDMA, I'd call their GSM network the best in the area from the reception I have gotten), then Cingular, followed by Sprint, and Nextel's stillborn iDEN at the bottom. Interesting that Sprint works so well out where you are. Quote: FWIW, it's 'dead' technology. TDMA is going down fast and I forsee GSM doing the same considering WCDMA isn't that far off. Hell, even Siemens, who normally is hardcore GSM is on the WCDMA bandwagon. As much as I'd love to see GSM die out, I seriously doubt it'll happen. Overall, I think it sucks, but there are some things that'll keep it around. SIM cards are, for lack of a better word, sexy. They're convient, and being able to pull all the numbers out and toss them in a new phone is nice from a consumer viewpoint. There's obviously more to it than just this, but that's what most of the consumers hear about. Also, I had a guy come up to me today at work and ask me if we were getting GSM phones. I explained to him that we were NOT going to change, since the sound quality is inferior to CDMA, and CDMA has a higher call capacity (not to mention the potential of WCDMA). He started whining about the fact that he can use a GSM phone in Europe, and 'how embarassing it is that when I lands in Europe, and all the other businessmen can start using their phones, but I can't use my phone.' Blah, blah, blah. As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. It's another reason GSM is attractive; more roaming options on a global level. IMHO, there are definately advantages to CDMA, but I just don't see GSM dying out in the near future. Now, iDen is a whole different story.

Okay for one verizon uses cdma not iden and there are many other compaines that make cdma phones. 2 moto is the only maker of iden phones and nextel uses iden so moto is the only provider for nextel. As to digital pimp GSM actauly has better sound quality then CDMA. The down side with GSM is that it pick up so much that when you get background noise it gets passed right along. Where as CDMA filters out the noise. This filtering out of the noise is part of what cuts down on the amount of bandwith that is used. Part 2 to digital pimp. GSM is going to go to WCDMA not CDMA. CDMA will keep evoling seperatly form wcdma. Cdma has a sim like setup called r-uim, but no us carries have decided to go with it. Lastly verizon is going to release a phone that can roam on the european gsm system and work on the us cdma system. NulloModo - Uhh. I'm on the complete opposite side of the state, i'm south WEST FWIW on that aspect, I carry both Verizon and Sprint. My PCS phone is with me at all times, where my VZW phone stays at home for the most part. Verizons voice quality SUCKS compared to Sprints. Anyhow, when we went to Ocean City, MD from my house to OC it was a 6.5 hour drive. I was off of the network for a total of 3.5 minutes on my PCS phone. My VZW phone roamed (off network. Not extended) for a solid 20+ minutes. While this isn't a clear indicator that Sprint is a better system, it's clear they have better highway road supports. In my area, TDMA is HORRID. And GSM isn't good either. The GSM maps from ATT + Tmobile are extremely misleading. Wapacz - Are you comparing the VQ of GSM to VZW CDMA or PCS CDMA? IMHO, VZW'a VQ totally blows compared to Sprint. I have both, so I can make an honest opinion on it. The few GSM phones i've used (primarily T-Mobile) sounded far better than TDMA, but again, IMO couldn't touch Sprint's VQ. Back to the whole WCDMA GSM thing. It may be a moot point with Vodafone comming it and attempting to do a hostile takeover on VZW (considering Vodafone already owns 45% of VZW). They want to convert Verizon over to GSM and already have specs on a few Tri BAND (GSM CDMA AMPS) Quad MODE phones. The next month or 3 should prove to be very interesting. Cingular + ATT, VZW + Vodaphone. It's going to put Sprint and TMobile just about off the map (and I don't consider Nextel on the map ). Quote: lastly verizon is going to release a phone that can roam on the european gsm system and work on the us cdma system. Well.yes, we're getting a CDMA/GSM phone. It'll be made by Samsung, and if it's anything like the current gear that they offer, then it'll probably be worthless. Quote: I can't see Vodaphone converting Verizon to GSM. I mean that's a HUGE cost undertaking for no real benefit as far as I can tell. I've been hearing the Vodaphone rumor, about them taking over VZW, but I find it rather difficult to believe that they're going to convert our entire network to GSM. Alright; after a little research, here's what it comes down to, as I understand it. The biggest diff between CDMA and GSM is how the signal is encoded. Also, CDMA, by it's nature, is a more secure standard. One other thing; CDMA hands off differently than GSM; it uses a 'soft-handoff' technique, that lets it do it's handoffs as seamlessly as possible. As far as WCDMA, the overall theory, as I understand it, is that eventually, (8+ years) most companies will be going to it. GSM is just pretty TDMA; eventually, it starts hitting it's limits. Everything above is from what I've read. However, from my own experience, most of the GSM phones I've listened to sound like crap. Quote: Okay for one verizon uses cdma not iden and there are many other compaines that make cdma phones. Quote: 2 moto is the only maker of iden phones and nextel uses iden so moto is the only provider for nextel. Again, no shit. However, iDen is not the only voice packet technology and Verizon DOES offer a packet service. Just like Nextel, you press a little button, and send your voice comm in walky-talky fashion. Declaring Mot a monopoly in this functionality is incorrect. Quote: As to digital pimp GSM actauly has better sound quality then CDMA. The down side with GSM is that it pick up so much that when you get background noise it gets passed right along. Where as CDMA filters out the noise. This filtering out of the noise is part of what cuts down on the amount of bandwith that is used. Further explanation: Cell phones work by building models of the voice rather than actually transmitting the conversation in its original waveform. The phone's DSP attempts to identify mathematical values that can be used to model the user. It then translates that back into a waveform and compares it to the original. It continues to refine the mathematical formula until it produces something close enough to the original to transmit. The GSM handset manufacturers favors reproducing the original mic input as close as possible. Qualcomm's efforts attempt to reproduce just the voice. It's a different design philosophy, both of which have good and bad elaments. In a perfectly quiet environment, GSM would be ideal (in this regard specifically) but I live in a crowded city as do most cell phone users as far as I'm aware so Qualcomm's philosophy makes far more sense to me. Quote: part 2 to digital pimp. GSM is going to go to WCDMA not CDMA. CDMA will keep evoling seperatly form wcdma. Careful with your terminology. WCDMA IS CDMA. CDMA being Code Division Multiple Access and referring to multiplexing multiple calls at the same frequency by encoding them with a specific value that makes it relatively simple to de-multiplex the signals on said frequency. Both WCDMA and CDMA2000 (the networks) are using CDMA (the multiplexing technique). This was the heart of the statement the original poster made so he was absolutely correct in his statement. By way of completion, I should explain the technique used by GSM networks. TDMA, or Time Division Multiple Access, is the multiplexing technique employed by GSM. Essentially, each phone gets a very small period of time in which to transmit its call. The network switches between all the phones on the network in turn until it comes back to the original phone. That phone then transmits its next chunk of conversation. This happens fast enough that you don't perceive the pausing, but it's totally unworkable for high speed data communications such as is demanded of the expected 3G services. Quote: They want to convert Verizon over to GSM and already have specs on a few Tri BAND (GSM CDMA AMPS) Quad MODE phones. Considering that Verizon is spending BILLIONS currently to install a CDMA-2000 EVDO network, I doubt very much that Vodaphone would scrap all that investment. Regards, Semi.

Was that a crack against Samsung phones in general or just multi-network phones? If it was the former, I'd have to assume you have been smoking something as Samsung consistently makes some of the best mobiles on the market, if it was the latter, I wholeheartedly agree, but don't understand why. It seems every multi-network phone I have come across is a stripped down bare-bones ugly, big, non-intuitive brick. I understand they need to be bigger to accomodate both sets of chips and more battery power, but why not give them the nice displays and all of the features found on the single network phones? In something roughly the size of a PDA you could get TDMA/CDMA/GSM all in one, plus a big full color high res screen, an expansion slot for wifi and bluetooth (if not built in) and all the PDA goodies so you have not only a phone but a portable always connected palm-top. What I wouldn't give for something like that. Quote: i'm declaring that moto has a monoply over all ptt phones. Which is wrong. Quote: I understand they need to be bigger to accomodate both sets of chips and more battery power, but why not give them the nice displays and all of the features found on the single network phones? Because they need to be bigger and require more power. If they didn't strip them down, they wouldn't be able to power multiple chipsets, or larger, more complicated chips for multiple networks for very long at all. Battery time is one of those factors people tend to depend on in their cell phone. It's not a very mobile phone if it requires recharging every few hours. Quote: In something roughly the size of a PDA you could get TDMA/CDMA/GSM all in one, plus a big full color high res screen, an expansion slot for wifi and bluetooth (if not built in) and all the PDA goodies so you have not only a phone but a portable always connected palm-top. If by roughly you mean much larger with bad battery life making it a shitty PDA and a shitty phone. Quote: What I wouldn't give for something like that. You can get single network units now but they cost $600 without bluetooth and suck for battery life. Willing to pay MORE than $600 for one that adds another network? Remember, cell phone prices are augmented by the service providers fronting much of the cost for you. They wouldn't front jack for a phone that wasn't locked to their network and their network only. Quote: Was that a crack against Samsung phones in general or just multi-network phones? If it was the former, I'd have to assume you have been smoking something as Samsung consistently makes some of the best mobiles on the market, if it was the latter, I wholeheartedly agree, but don't understand why. It's most certainly about Samsung phones. Perhaps your own experience has been different, but from what I've seen in my dealings with the Samsung phones that Verizon has carrried in the past and is currently carrying, I am far less than impressed. And there's more than just my own impressions. I've gotten some information from others, who are far more knowledable on this matter than I. Their opinions on Samsung gear have been extremely negetive. Perhaps Samsungs GSM gear is nice, but their CDMA phones that I've dealt with leave something much to be desired. Some common sense while designing the user interface would be a good start. Quote: i'm declaring that moto has a monoply over all ptt phones. Not just Nokia like Semi said; the Kyocera KX444 will be a PTT phone as well, and I know there are others on the way. Motorola has a monopoly over iDen phones, since they developed the technology. Quote: Remember, cell phone prices are augmented by the service providers fronting much of the cost for you. Semi is correct; from one of the trade magazines we get at work, last year the cell phone industry spent something like $10 billion on phones, and sold them for somewhere around $3.5 billion. I couldn't find the article, so I can't give exact numbers, but those are close enough to give you an idea.

They wouldn't front jack for a phone that wasn't locked to their network and their network only. Well, this is true, something like this would be a niche product for sure, but could be a profitable one. Multi-network phones in general are a niche product. I have purchased and used PDA phones for around $600 in the past, and been generally happy with the experience, but I have always felt that such a high end item should be lacking nothing, so bring on the multi-network. It could even be multi-network but specific to a particular provider, you can't use AT&T TDMA gear with Cingular, so why would AT&T care if they released a TDMA+GSM phone? Now, CDMA would be a different story as neither company has a CDMA network, but that is just a matter of setting up roaming contracts with Verizon or Sprint. The PDA phones out now aren't much bigger than a regular PDA, and therefore are quite usable. Battery life is very good for PDA usage, and for phone usage is par for the course, several days standby or several hours talking. Setting up the phones software to be able to disable certain networks when you wouldn't need them could help conserve even more, why have the phone searching for TDMA/CDMA when you are in a GSM hot area? Personally, for something about the size of the biggest Palms or Toshiba Pocket PCs that did GSM, TDMA, and CDMA, plus GPRS and CDMA packet data, had bluetooth and wifi built in, expandable memory, nice high res color screen, and all of the other goodies, and ran a real palmpc OS (either PalmOS or PocketPC, not this Symbian junk) I would be willing to pay up to $1000, and I know others who feel the same way.
