Just A Wee Bit Mad.

I'm just using my phone the way I do because I have to. I have the slider one, the Samsung.....and I would love a QWERTY keyboard too. Maybe someday.

What a coincidence that we would have the same phones (Samsung T301G?), lol!

There isn't even a WP7 phone out yet so I am not mad about there not being a WP7 Zune yet. Now, if the next generation Zune isn't a WP7 device, then I will be disappointed...but not surprised.

So, for people like me and Living In Lies, we've got our good reasons, why we cannot afford a WP7 and would love to see the WP7 software ported to the Zune HD. However, I'm not complaining, because I've already complained and clearly it's not making a difference, and I don't want to waste my time complaining if it's not going to make a difference, I have more important things to do than to complain to somebody (MS) who's not listening to me.

Actually, prepare to see some lower priced data plans, as AT&T has switched to tiered plans, and the Big Red has plans to switch to a tiered system as well (with the coming of LTE 4G on the way).

In fact, with the lower frequencies of cellular data signals being adopted (a rumored 700mhz for LTE), data will become ever more cheaper, and voice should be scrapped out of all standard plans in a few years or so. Be patient! The age of the smartphone has come!

Will you be surprised if there isn't any next gen Zune hardware?

Not very surprised, no. I think it is certainly a possibility. Maybe there will be an iPod app instead. lol
