Doubt it... more like the motivation for improvements in smartphones. And its not over.. the 4G will be dropping soon and if it spreads to Verizon like expected...I expect the iphone to either equal or surpass blackberry sales in the US.

My brother-in-law bought a droid but returned it a week later for that same reason.

Oh lord not the slingbox argument again... I cant believe people actually go BUY boxes just to be able to watch tv on a cell phone.

But what will be in the 4G... not 4G (wimax) and aren't they still arguing over weather they get to use some processor that Sony wants exclusively for the PSP?

droid with no slingbox is a big downfall, but i gurantee people will not be able to use that excuse for much longer. I suggest everyone gets that out of their system while they still can.

I don't see anybody argueing.

It is not just to use on the cell phone, it works awesome in hotel rooms with the video out (& also in my truck hooked to my 7" DVD/NAV screen).

There is nothing like having over 200 of your own local channels available on the TV in a hotel room for free.

You think it's stupid, fine don't buy one but I use mine everyday & so do a lot of other people & I won't buy a phone that is not capable of running it.

You obviously haven't tried it, or doesn't seem like a guy who is not willing to miss a sports game. Well if you are a typical guy who wants to watch local sports teams live, it's pretty much priceless.

Only reason I keep coming back to WM phone is that it's SERO, and Sling capable. TP2 since it did have pretty big screen at the moment I bought it.

Thats what I bought my plasma tv for... its not that serious for me to go buy a box to be able to watch tv on a 4 inch screen. Even with the movies I have ON the phone I only watch them when I connect the phone through video outs to my tv. Now the sero thing I can understand being that im on advantage plan with sprint and only pay $20 bucks a month... really the biggest reason im keeping my tp2... at least until the supersonic comes out then ill gladly switch

Do they still make plasma tv's?

I pretty much listen to CNN or sports in my car using my car's navigation system. It's pretty neat if you haven't done it.
