find out what it is and why it's important [URL="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/the-ultimate-700mhz-auction-guide/the-ultimate-700mhz-auction-guide-what-it-is-wholl-win-and-why-you-should-care-330628.php"]here[/URL]

watch all the action [URL]https://auctionsignon.fcc.gov/signon/index.htm[/URL] auction 73

it's amazing at what we will be able to do with our cell phones before the year is over! ahhhh, just think of being able to stream porn in HD to your mobile.

hey beanz, if at&t gets ahold of this network their coverage may not suck anymore. regardless, they bought a bunch of the shares before the auction started, so it doesn't really matter who gets the network the deathstar still stands to make millions.

interesting, stay tuned.

I'll be watching. I can say that I have a better phone that works with Edge, 3G, G and one more and it vastly improves my service but still has many problems. I can't even imagine what the bill must be with this phone. Glad I don't have to pay it.

Moto Q9h. It still has service issues but it's a HUUUUGE improvement.

It's quad band and what I really like about it is that I can email while I'm on the phone and I can also use it as a wireless network endpoint for the laptop.

It's still ass since it's on AT&T's 3G so I don't even attempt to clock it. Faster than dial-up, but still not worth a shit.
