2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? 386
da3dAlus writes "When I first bought my 2.4GHz wireless phone system several years ago, it was a rather new technology, and wi-fi wasn't even on the scene. Now it appears that all wireless phones are on the 2.4 or 5.8 GHz spectrum, and I've got neighbors with wi-fi (with myself included). While checking out new phones recently, I've noticed some are carrying a "802.11 Friendly" sticker. The question is, are there any trully 802.11 friendly phones? Has anyone really ever had a problem with these types of phones interfering with their wi-fi network?"
It doesn't interfere, silly (Score:5, Funny)
This saves you money in the long run because VoIP is much cheaper cost-wise than typical cell service.
The main thing is to make sure that the phone is SAR-approved. You don't want those microwaves heating up your neural tissue!

I know there are other important speed-wise factors as well, the most important one being not the clock frequency itself but whether the chip has 64 bits or not. Nevertheless, I don't think anyone would ever need more than 640MHz.

Uhh... but you DO press your skull against the phone handset, which allegedly transmits a stronger signal (at least at that frequency)...
May I recommend a tin foil hat?

If you think this system is out of whack, we ive in a democratic system, so write your Senators and Congressmen and tell them what you think. The sooner the DCMA is abolished and John Ashcroft is out of the White House, the sooner open source will be able to start competing on a free and open market.

I took my G5 and soldered on a few extra bits I found in a computer repair shop. It now has 73 bits, which makes it even more of a supercomputer than before
