Portability, smortability

Filed under: Wireless — Bill Day @ 5:07 pm

As Engadget reports in “Number portability for all!”, US telecom rules now require all carriers to support consumers in moving their number from their current cell service to new service with a different operator.

Well, at least in theory, but everyone I know who’s tried has cried themselves to sleep at night after pulling out all of their hair. Is it just me, or is LNP a broken promise so far?

(Yes, I’m suffering through this problem right now as I’m trying to keep my current mobile number while switching to new Nokia corporate mobile service. How could you tell? :-)

N-Gage QD

Nokia has begun shipping the redesigned N-Gage QD. Learn more from Forum Nokia’s N-Gage QD device details page and the N-Gage QD consumer site.

And yes, N-Gage QD does allow hot-swapping of games, no battery removal required (I know all of you early N-Gage devotees are going to like that!).
