Is it possible to see someones text messages?
Q. Is it possible to see someones text messages without actually having their cell phone? Maybe a website or something....
A. the only ways r to have the cellphone or work for a cell tower and look at everybodys texts cuz only the cell tower keeps an extra copy or extra recording! :) but i wouldn't go sneaking around wit some 1s text cuz it could be somthing personal or private to them how would u feel if i look at all ur private/personal texts huh?
why do mobile phones cost so much money these days?
Q. ok, so i've seen phones that costed over 500euro :O i know its ridiculous, .. im planning on gettin a sony ericsson X10 mini pro and it costs 300 euro .. i dono what the big deal is they are only phones ?
A. Cell phones themselves are not expensive. I seen places you can buy unlocked cell phones for less than $50. My DECT home phone cost more than that. However, the X10, and similar phones are more than just phones. They are considered as smart phones, and yes there is a difference.
Many cell phones has an antenna for cellular service. They also have a basic screen, and maybe a basic camera. Nicer ones will have a wifi for basic web browsing - usually a WAP browser, or Opera. In the end, they are a bit basic, and for that, you will get a basic price. Some higher end cell phones maybe a little more than $100, but rarely less than $200. These phones typically have better cameras, better antennas for reception, and more expensive chips for processing your information. Keep in mind that your phone isn't sending your voice per say, but all phones these days are digital which is a collection of 1s and 0s. And all cell phones have CPUs (although usually 50 - 150Mhz).
Smart phones like the X10 line are much more capable. They also demand much more. That means a faster CPU (low end being 500Mhz) which must be designed in a way where it won't over heat and cause physical harm. This will add to the cost. Also, more ROM. Many basic phones will have 1MB of ROM, but smart phones typically have 256MB or more. There is a need for a better screen resolution which is produced by Red/Green/Blue lights that produces all of the colors, just like your LCD monitor. This has to be even more carefully integrated since there is a small screen. A half of an inch of bad pixels is probably annoying on a 26" screen, but intolerable and unacceptable on a 3" screen. Next, comes the OS. Smart phones have OSes in them more like a PC rather than a phone. When a manufacturer builds an OS for a basic phone, it is tailored to that phone, and therefore runs optimally. On a smart phone, this is usually requires developing around the OS and trying to make sure everything works right. This could require months of R&D to make a successful smart phone as you have to make sure the hardware combinations, and any bugs in the chosen OS doesn't conflict. Throw a skin on it (which I believe the X10 has) which makes the phone look different in the UI perspective, and that will require more time. And most of the phones now a days has a touch screen. And you want that screen responsive, so the manufacturer has to use capacitive touch. RIM learned that the hard way with their Storm. And you can't just throw a screen on an call it a day. It also has to be calibrated, and not in lots either, but each device has to be calibrated, and while machine typically does that, it is still work, and effort.
Then there's the support issue. A cell phone, something goes wrong - there's only a few things to look to. A smart phone goes wrong, and it could be so much more. Not only the built in hardware, but any bluetooth devices, and software. Smart phones can also get viruses, which will cause problems that will naturally be blamed on the carrier or manufacturer. This means calls to the carrier which increases the price. If there are too many calls, then the carrier will no longer order that smart phone line. Danger learned that with the Sidekick when T-Mobile stopped selling the Sidekick, and cancelled further orders when the Danger servers went down, and customers blamed T-Mobile.
All of this builds on the price of the phone, and this will also explain why some carriers will eat a portion of the MSRP and commit you to two years. They want you to have a smart phone since they will make more money on the data plan, and you will rely on it more and more - therefore only getting a better smart phone in the future.
Yes, the price could be cheaper, and yes a full MSRP priced phone can be outrageous, but at least according to the manufacturer, this is normal cost of doing business. But as with all smart phones, the X10 is not just a cell phone. It's a handheld computer.
