Sick of this BS

[absolutejdx]

Tired of this I'm still stuck in my 755p (great phone for its day) until someone offers a phone with a call recording App that actually works! This phone would be perfect if it had call recording. I know I'm not the only one who needs call recording. The worst part is other countries have it they are only blocking it in the US.

GO TO AS MANY SITES AS YOU CAN WHICH ALLOW YOU TO REVIEW THE HTC EVO AND RATE IT ONLY 1 STAR, GIVING ONLY THE REASON "DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECORD PHONE CALLS"

I know it sucks creating tons of user accounts but maybe if enough of us can make a dent in the ratings they will listen here are some places to start:

Nice poll, idiot. Not a single choice to go against your point. What if I simply do not care about call recording? I do not think it's illegal, so last point does not apply. And I had it on other phones, so 4th point does not apply.

Care to revise your poll?

First off, it's not the EVO's, Sprints, HTC's, etc. fault that it can't record phone calls. That would fall under the developer or software makers. Second, it is illegal to record both sides of a conversation in the U.S. without permission of the other party to do so. So most developers code just to record YOUR side of the conversation. Third, blasting the EVO because of this is childish at best when it's clearly not thier fault.

What a troll... In b 4 the lock.

It is not illegal to record both sides of the conversation, it is called 1 party consent look it up and most states are 1 party consent states very few are 2 party consent. Plus a federal law overrules both stating that phone calls may be recorded during the normal course of business. 2nd it is blocked by firmware in HTC has nothing to do with separate developers many companies and individuals are out there trying to make it happen even editing the registry on some phones to make it possible.

it's actuallt not US law, but rather State law. Several states (including mine) allow the recording of a two party conversation as long as one party knows the call is being recorded. No statement of doing so is required to notify the second party. It is illegal however to record a two party telephone conversation if neither party knows.

I'm a fan of call recording, especially when dealing with Sprint, or clients that are prone to mis-remember conversations... which my Touch Pro 2 did flawlessly. Last I checked, the TP2 was newer than the Palm 755.

Too late no option to edit poll sorry but you don't have to take it anyway.

12 of the 50 states are two party required. That's almost 25% of the states. I'm sure many manufacturers don't want to touch this for this reason. Also considering one of those states is California, alot of manufacturers probably don't want to touch this.

EDIT: While I see the validity for your need, I do not appreciate the way you assume that those of us who do not need this are idiots, or that we don't know the law. Also I don't see why downranking an entire phone for one small issue is a good idea. That would be like taking a baseball teams win away because they got all their runs from in field hits and didn't hit one home run all game.
