I am very happy with the service and the phone. I have not yet gotten rid of the Super Slice, but I don't really have time to try to work through the ridiculous USB issues.<BR/><BR/>Lock-in is something that people in all types of business think is a great thing.

I use Virgin mobile as well and just swapped phones from a Kyocera K-10, that had seen better days. There is a way into the phone, we just need to be persistent. I am always hopeful that as we get more tech savvy as a culture, we won't buy in to this 'lock-in' stupidity.Chris Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190147297694871061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34620758.post-30100088643240239262007-12-02T18:55:00.000-08:002007-12-02T18:55:00.000-08:00The new ones are going for $40 on ebay, so maybe w...The new ones are going for $40 on <A HREF="http://cell-phones.search-completed.ebay.com/UTStarcom-Super-Slice_Cell-Phones_W0QQa10244ZQ2d24QQa25662ZQ2d24QQa25664ZQ2d24QQa26093ZQ2d24QQa33112ZQ2d24QQa35ZQ2d24QQalistZa25664Q2ca25662Q2ca35Q2ca33112Q2ca26093Q2ca10244Q2ca3801QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfisZ2QQfposZ78681QQfromZR10QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQgcsZ1440QQmaxrecordsreturnedZ300QQpf_queryZUTStarcomQ20SuperQ20SliceQQpfidZ1720QQpfmodeZ1QQsabfmtsZ1QQsacatZ146487QQsadisZ200QQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ2QQsbrftogZ1QQsoZShowQ20ItemsQQsofocusZunknown?GetResult&a10244=-24&a25662=-24&a25664=-24&a26093=-24&a33112=-24&a35=-24&alist=a25664%2Ca25662%2Ca35%2Ca33112%2Ca26093%2Ca10244%2Ca3801&catref=C6&coaction=compare&coentrypage=search&copagenum=1&fis=2&fpos=78681&from=R10&frpp=50&fsoo=1&fsop=1&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&gcs=1440&maxrecordsreturned=300&pf_query=UTStarcom+Super+Slice&pfid=1720&pfmode=1&sabfmts=1&sacat=146487&sadis=200&sargn=-1&saslc=2&sbrftog=1&so=Show+Items&sofocus=unknown&guest=1" REL="nofollow">ebay</A>, so maybe when you jump to tmo, you can recoup some of your cost.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396223294042213468noreply@blogger.com
