21 Goals for the Illuminati

21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300



By Dr. John Coleman.

http://educate-yourself.org/cn/johncolemangoalsofIlluminati.shtml

The Story of The Committee of 300

1. To establish a One World Government/New World Order with a unified church and monetary system under their direction. The One World Government began to set up its church in the 1920:s and 30:s, for they realized the need for a religious belief inherent in mankind must have an outlet and, therefore, set up a "church" body to channel that belief in the direction they desired.

2. To bring about the utter destruction of all national identity and national pride, which was a primary consideration if the concept of a One World Government was to work.

3. To engineer and bring about the destruction of religion, and more especially, the Christian Religion, with the one exception, their own creation, as mentioned above.

4. To establish the ability to control of each and every person through means of mind control and what Zbignew Brzezinski called techonotronics, which would create human-like robots and a system of terror which would make Felix Dzerzinhski's Red Terror look like children at play.

5. To bring about the end to all industrialization and the production of nuclear generated electric power in what they call "the post-industrial zero-growth society". Excepted are the computer- and service industries. US industries that remain will be exported to countries such as Mexico where abundant slave labor is available. As we saw in 1993, this has become a fact through the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, known as NAFTA. Unemployables in the US, in the wake of industrial destruction, will either become opium-heroin and/or cocaine addicts, or become statistics in the elimination of the "excess population" process we know of today as Global 2000.

6. To encourage, and eventually legalize the use of drugs and make pornography an "art-form", which will be widely accepted and, eventually, become quite commonplace.

7. To bring about depopulation of large cities according to the trial run carried out by the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. It is interesting to note that Pol Pot's genocidal plans were drawn up in the US by one of the Club of Rome's research foundations, and overseen by Thomas Enders, a high-ranking State Department official. It is also interesting that the committee is currently seeking to reinstate the Pol Pot butchers in Cambodia.

8. To suppress all scientific development except for those deemed beneficial by the Illuminati. Especially targeted is nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Particularly hated are the fusion experiments currently being scorned and ridiculed by the Illuminati and its jackals of the press. Development of the fusion torch would blow the Illuminati's conception of "limited natural resources" right out of the window. A fusion torch, properly used, could create unlimited and as yet untapped natural resources, even from the most ordinary substances. Fusion torch uses are legion, and would benefit mankind in a manner which, as yet, is not even remotely comprehended by the public.

9. To cause. by means of limited wars in the advanced countries, by means of starvation and diseases in the Third World countries, the death of three billion people by the year 2050, people they call "useless eaters". The Committee of 300 (Illuminati) commissioned Cyrus Vance to write a paper on this subject of how to bring about such genocide. The paper was produced under the title "Global 2000 Report" and was accepted and approved for action by former President James Earl Carter, and Edwin Muskie, then Secretary of States, for and on behalf of the US Government. Under the terms of the Global 2000 Report, the population of the US is to be reduced by 100 million by the year of 2050.

10. To weaken the moral fiber of the nation and to demoralize workers in the labor class by creating mass unemployment. As jobs dwindle due to the post industrial zero growth policies introduced by the Club of Rome, the report envisages demoralized and discouraged workers resorting to alcohol and drugs. The youth of the land will be encouraged by means of rock music and drugs to rebel against the status quo, thus undermining and eventually destroying the family unit. In this regard, the Committee commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford Research to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harmon. This work later became known as the "Aquarian Conspiracy".

11. To keep people everywhere from deciding their own destinies by means of one created crisis after another and then "managing" such crises. This will confuse and demoralize the population to the extent where faced with too many choices, apathy on a massive scale will result. In the case of the US, an agency for Crisis Management is already in place. It is called the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), whose existence I first enclosed in 1980.

12. To introduce new cults and continue to boost those already functioning which include rock music gangsters such as the Rolling Stones (a gangster group much favored by European Black Nobility), and all of the Tavistock-created rock groups which began with the Beatles.

13. To continue to build up the cult of Christian Fundamentalism begun by the British East India Company's servant Darby, which will be misused to strengthen the Zionist State of Israel by identifying with the Jews through the myth of "God's chosen people", and by donating very substantial amounts of money to what they mistakenly believe is a religious cause in the furtherance of Christianity.

14. To press for the spread of religious cults such as the Moslem Brotherhood, Moslem Fundamentalism, the Sikhs, and to carry out mind control experiments of the Jim Jones and "Son of Sam" type. It is worth noting that the late Khomeini was a creation of British Military Intelligence Div. 6, MI6. This detailed work spelled out the step-by-step process which the US Government implemented to put Khomeini in power.

15. To export "religious liberation" ideas around the world so as to undermine all existing religions, but more especially the Christian religion. This began with the "Jesuit Liberation Theology", that brought an end to the Somoza Family rule in Nicaragua, and which today is destroying El Salvador, now 25 years into a "civil war". Costa Rica and Honduras are also embroiled in revolutionary activities, instigated by the Jesuits. One very active entity engaged in the so-called liberation theology, is the Communist-oriented Mary Knoll Mission. This accounts for the extensive media attention to the murder of four of Mary Knoll's so-called nuns in El Salvador a few years ago. The four nuns were Communist subversive agents and their activities were widely documented by the Government of El Salvador. The US press and the new media refused to give any space or coverage to the mass of documentation possessed by the Salvadorian Government, which proved what the Mary Knoll Mission nuns were doing in the country. Mary Knoll is in service in many countries, and placed a leading role in bringing Communism to Rhodesia, Moçambique, Angola and South Africa.

16. To cause a total collapse of the world's economies and engender total political chaos.

17. To take control of all foreign and domestic policies of the US.

18. To give the fullest support to supranational institutions such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank of International Settlements, the World Court and, as far as possible, make local institutions less effective, by gradually phasing them out or bringing them under the mantle of the UN.

19. To penetrate and subvert all governments, and work from within them to destroy the sovereign integrity of the nations represented by them.

20. To organize a world-wide terrorist apparatus and to negotiate with terrorists whenever terrorist activities take place. It will be recalled that it was Bettino Craxi, who persuaded the Italian and US Governments to negotiate with the Red Brigades kidnapers of Prime Minister Moro and General Dozier. As an aside, Dozier was placed under strict orders not to talk what happened to him. Should he ever break that silence, he will no doubt be made "a horrible example of", in the manner in which Henry Kissinger dealt with Aldo Moro, Ali Bhutto and General Zia ul Haq.

21. To take control of education in America with the intent and purpose of utterly and completely destroying it. By 1993, the full force effect of this policy is becoming apparent, and will be even more destructive as primary and secondary schools begin to teach "Outcome Based Education" (OBE)

Wireless & Hurricance

Wireless Carriers Prepare for Hurricane Gustav

Posted by Sam Churchill on August 29th, 2008

Hurricane Gustav (Times-Picayune coverage), the tropical storm bearing down on the Gulf Coast, could be a test for the country’s wireless carriers, which faced criticism and a regulatory push after Hurricane Katrina took out networks.

Sprint Nextel’s Emergency Response Team, with trucks that can act as cell towers, was “caravaning down, military-style,” to the Gulf Coast on Friday. In 2007, Sprint installed permanent generators at more than 1,300 sites throughout the Southeast and Gulf Coast.

Verizon Wireless and AT&T, the main landline phone company in the region and the country’s largest wireless carrier, have added capacity and replaced some cables with optical fiber, to resist flooding.

While cell towers may survive a hurricane, their electrical power and connection to the larger network, often do not. After Katrina, the FCC sought to mandate that almost all cell sites in the U.S. have at least eight hours of backup power in the event main power fails.

But that requirement was disputed by the wireless industry association CTIA, as well as Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA. The carriers said the FCC failed to follow federal guidelines for creating new mandates and went far beyond its authority in creating the requirement. Requiring each cell site, even in areas that aren’t disaster-prone, to have its own backup power is expensive and robs them of the flexibility to deploy generators in more sensitive areas, they said.

Verizon Wireless says all of its cell sites have batteries that will power them for at least eight hours. Many of them also have generators that kick in when the batteries run down, and have fuel for five to seven days, according to the company. Of the 59 new cell sites Verizon Wireless has set up in the Gulf Coast area since the start of 2007, 85 percent have their own generators.

AT&T said its cell sites in hurricane-prone areas have generators that will power them for up to 36 hours, and it has been topping up the fuel in their tanks this week.

Sprint said it spent $59 million in 2007 to boost its hurricane preparedness, in part to install generators at 1,300 cell sites in the Southeast and on the Gulf Coast. It spent additional $140 million in the first six months this year to reinforce the network in the Gulf Coast states.

Gustav could be a communications challenge for emergency responders, who remain split up on incompatible networks. The FCC wanted to tackle that problem by setting aside radio spectrum to be operated by a private company for a national emergency network, but the spectrum band failed to find a bidder in an auction this year.

Tropical Storm Gustav was near Jamaica on Friday, and forecasters said it could hit the Louisiana coast at the beginning of next week as a major hurricane.

In related news, the 501 Tech Club and HumaniNet will present a status report on their Maps 2.0 initiative, in Portland on September 4.

The Tech Club is an initiative of NTEN with the support of the Meyer Memorial Trust. Also joining them, from Washington D.C., will be Justin Perkins, the Nonprofit Services Director of Care2, the largest online social network empowering civically active people to “make a difference.”

NY givesTyco 45 days

NY Gives Tyco 45 days to Fix Network

Posted by Sam Churchill on August 29th, 2008

The New York State Office for Technology issued a letter of default to a unit of Tyco Electronics on Friday over a $2 billion contract to build an emergency communications network, giving the company’s M/A-COM Inc 45 days to fix “significant” problems, reports Reuters.


Tyco Electronics said it was disappointed in the move and has been cooperating with the state to resolve a “few” remaining issues.

“Contrary to public allegations … Tyco Electronics has met or exceeded contractual requirements for the project and is prepared to vigorously defend that position,” the company said in a statement e-mailed to Reuters.

The default letter, which comes amid a state budget crunch, follows a recommendation last week by the New York State comptroller to stop the 20-year contract because the already delayed system was rife with problems.

New York State’s biggest-ever technology contract, awarded to the Tyco’s M/A-COM unit in 2005, is a year-and-a-half behind schedule and has suffered from technology problems, according to the office of the comptroller (See Dailywireless: NY State’s Public Service Net: Failure?).

The system was intended to ease communication among emergency responders such as firefighters and police, and was prompted by the failure of wireless emergency communications systems after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In its default letter, the state cited equipment failures, unreliable emergency call modes and inconsistent coverage, among other problems. Under the contract, Tyco Electronics has 45 days to recertify the system as ready for use, according to the state.

If Tyco were to lose the contract, analysts have estimated the loss of the contract would reduce Tyco Electronics’ 2009 sales by about $100 million and cut earnings by 2 or 3 cents per share. Rival Motorola potentially could benefit, Citigroup analyst Jim Suva said in a research note.

It may have repercussions for the federal Integrated Wireless Network (above), a nationwide public safety network which some have characterized as mired in bureaucratic and policy pettiness. The $10 billion federal network uses M/A-Com’s digital Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and the P-25 suite of standards to tie local, state and federal public safety agencies together.

Emergency managers like to point out “lives are at sake”. But dual-use handsets that can access satellite services when cellular or police radio towers go out would have saved lives during Hurricane Katrina.

TerreStar’s tiny sat phone (left) is the size of a Blackberry and roams on AT&T’s cellular network. It features Quad-band GSM, satphone connections, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It will be available to North American customers in mid-2009. Spot beam satellites from Inmarsat and ICO will soon be joined by Terrestar and MSV for roaming between terrestrial repeaters.

TomTom GPS

TomTom's GO x40 LIVE range present realtime route adjustment, Google searches


TomTom is really pushing the connected capabilities of its navigation devices with this new x40 LIVE series, which hit IFA this year as rumored. The GO 940 LIVE, GO 740 LIVE and GO 540 LIVE include a "new and extended" version of IQ Routes, which can adjust your route for predicted and actual road conditions, based on historical data and TomTom's HD Traffic feature. The units include Safety Alerts for alerting to speed cameras, Fuel Prices, and Local Search, which is powered by Google and allows you to plan a route to your search results. Also onboard is voice command and control, letting you plan routes and make phone calls using only your voice. The series will be available in the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands and Switzerland this fall, starting at £299 (about $544 US). LIVE services are £10 a month. Unfortunately, the versions we played with at IFA didn't have a live connection, but software looks easy to access and easy to use. Too bad the actual hardware looks circa 2003.

Sonim's rugged phone

Sonim's rugged LM801 phone will probably outlast you


Sonim has chosen IFA this week to show off its latest hardcore G'zOne killer, the in-your-face, take-no-prisoners LM801 candybar. Highlights of the rugged set include an integrated flashlight, laser pointer (for those times when you're stranded in the Rockies and you need to blind you some bears, we figure), magnetic compass, barometer / altimeter, FM radio, and thermometer, all bundled neatly into a yellow shell that repels all the water and dust you can toss at it. Most carriers aren't terribly talented at offering a rugged lineup, so we can think of a few who'd be well-served to investigate adding something like this into the mix -- and seriously, what's with no other phone having a laser pointer?

Sprint Roadmap

Leaked Sprint roadmap reveals Touch Pro, Touch Diamond dates and pricing


From the looks of it, Sprint has gone and gotten a decent chunk of its playbook leaked all over the interblogs, and it's chock-full of titillating information. Thanks to slippery fingers and loose lips, we already knew that the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro were headed to the carrier, but now we have some solid dates (mid-September for the Diamond, October 19th for the Pro), and pricing ($549.99 and $579.99 unsubsidized, $249.99 and $320 with contract). Of course, this is all according to the above document, which admittedly could be the work of an extremely bored Photoshopper -- but this jibes pretty tightly with a lot of other chatter we've been hearing.

Dubai

Carbon-neutral Ziggurat pyramid could house 1.1 million in Dubai


As we learned from Wall-E, people with half a mind for themselves probably won't be kosher with living with 1.1 million or so other inhabitants within a pyramid. That being said, there's always the brainwash approach to getting 'em in there, and if hordes of people were ever filed into the conceptual Ziggurat, Mother Earth would surely appreciate it. The 2.3-square kilometer building would be able to house over 1 million people and be "almost totally self-sufficient energy-wise." By tapping into the planet's renewable resources, designers assert that it could practically be carbon-neutral, and given that transport within the machine would be connected by an "integrated 360-degree network," fuel-burning cars would be pointless. As with most things in Dubai, this one seems larger than life, but if the Burj Al Arab is any indication, there's at least a minuscule chance this thing comes to fruition.

Projector Phone

Epoq EGP-PP01 KIRF projector phone now shipping


Sigh. We're still stoked about phones with built-in projectors, but we're not at all okay with the first commercially-available unit being the nasty Epoq EGP-PP01 iPhone clone -- yet we've got to hand it to China King for being the first out the gate with a handset that'll beam a 30-inch VGA image on the wall for two hours off the built-in battery. Of course, that doesn't mean we think anyone should actually drop $550 on this uninspired piece, but if you've absolutely got to show off your witty texting banter to the entire bar, this is your only option.

NY State Public Service

NY State’s Public Service Net: Back to the Drawing Board?

Posted by Sam Churchill on August 22nd, 2008

New York State should ditch a $2 billion plan for a statewide wireless network for emergency workers, unless the already delayed system can be fixed, State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said on Thursday.

“After three rounds of failed testing, it is apparent that this system is not ready to move forward. M/A-COM has not met its contractual obligations and New York can’t afford to spend $2 billion on a system that doesn’t work right,” he said. “M/A-COM has to deliver what it promised,” DiNapoli added.

The state-wide network would enable emergency first responders, such as police and firefighters, to talk to each other. It would use Project 25 radios, an interoperable, 2-way radio standard that allows different voice users to communicate. It also enables slow (9.6 Kbps), data transmission.

The New York State Office for Technology (OFT) is expected to decide whether to accept or reject the first phase of the network build-out in two counties by August 29th. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart (right), has taken over as the director of the Office of Technology and said that the Aug. 29 deadline, for thumbs up or down on the contract, is firm.

M/A-COM doesn’t get a dime if it’s thumbs down. Plus, a $50 million letter of credit filed by M/A-COM with the state may be tapped for what the state has spent already in anticipation.

When the administration of Gov. George E. Pataki awarded the contract in 2005, some lawmakers questioned whether the company was the best choice. M/A-COM was represented by former Senator Alfonse M. D’Amato, a close ally of the governor. Some of those lawmakers thought that Motorola’s proposal would have been a better choice. A spokesman for Motorola said on Thursday that the company had completed or was working on similar systems in 28 states.

New York’s statewide wireless emergency communications system would not include any construction in the protected wilderness areas of the Adirondacks and Catskills. Tyco International subsidiary, M/A-Com, bid roughly $1 billion for the 20-year contract. They planned to use as few as four towers in the Adirondacks and the Catskills, and none in protected areas.

That was sharply fewer than the bid from Motorola which proposed 400 towers for the project. Motorola’s bid was roughly $3 billion. New York officials said the different approach to building new towers was the major reason for the vast difference in the bids.

In the Tyco proposal, repeaters are an essential element in avoiding the construction of towers. Repeaters are used throughout the country as a standard way of giving greater amplification to the transmissions of hand-held radios.

Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM business won the contract in 2005, the biggest New York state technology contract ever awarded.

The statewide network was expected to be completed and fully operational by July 2010. M/A-COM said in March it successfully completed coverage testing in the two New York counties that comprise the first region of the network to be built.

But more recent testing, carried out by the state, is more critical. The system is a year and a half behind schedule and has suffered from technology problems, according to Jennifer Freeman a spokeswoman for the comptroller. “It’s very likely this contract is not going to go ahead unless the issues are fixed,” said Freeman. The state will spend $60 million less on the project over the next two years, as the result of a special legislative session that ended this week.

Tyco Electronics said in a statement e-mailed to Reuters that the audit “includes a number of inaccuracies” and said it would “correct any remaining outstanding issues related to the first phase of this program.”

In rural Chautauqua, it worked. But in populated Erie County, with tall buildings and crammed cellphone towers, there were numerous gaps in coverage and the system was deemed not successful. In May, more tests found roughly the same problems, only fewer of them.

Officials from M/A-Com expressed confidence the issues could be addressed, and said problems in Buffalo had been caused by interference from other radio transmissions. The system has been tested in neighboring Chatauqua County, which is mainly rural, and officials there had no complaints, said Victoria Dillon, an M/A-Com spokeswoman.

The gaps were “localized in a few sites, like cell carriers, a TV station in Canada,” Ms. Dillon said. Michael R. Mittleman, the state official overseeing the project for the Office of Technology, agreed.

Comptroller DiNapoli advised New York should go back to the drawing board unless M/A-COM can fix problems.

If M/A-COM fails the final evaluation in Erie and Chautauqua counties, it is uncertain what direction the state could take next. It could seek to still improve the M/A-COM solution, rebid the project that could add further delays or just scrap the whole idea of a statewide wireless network.

The Oregon Telecommunications Coordinating Council (ORTCC) got together with the Oregon State Interoperability Executive Council — as many states have done — to develop a similar $500 million state-wide public service network (which later grew to $650 million). It would be a voice-oriented network, used exclusively by first responders. Federal Engineering, which is advising the New York Network, was awarded Oregon’s contract to create a presentation (Real Video) and review the scope, goals and costs of the Oregon Wireless Interoperability Network project. Like many such projects, the choice came down to two dominant Project 25 providers, Motorola and M/A-Com. A two-slot TDMA doubles system capacity and meets the FCC’s requirement for 6.25 kHz channel equivalency by creating two voice paths within a 12.5 kHz channel with a half rate IMBE vocoder.

Finding the money to build a state-wide, interoperable (and narrow-band) radio network exclusively for first responders, is a problem for virtually every state. The state-wide infrastructure can cost billions, while thousands of Project 25, 2-way voice radios, costing $3,500 each, can cost additional hundreds of millions of dollars — billions in the case of New York. Where is the money coming from?

Nobody seems to know.

Some believe the solution lies in the nationwide, broadband 700 Mhz channels, which the FCC unsuccessfully tried to auction recently. That would provide 20 Mhz of broadband spectrum that could be shared by both public service agencies and ordinary mortals. In the FCC’s plan, the winning bidder would build a nationwide network at no cost to state or federal governments. The FCC will likely try auctioning the frequencies again next year.

Mobile Users in the Olympics

Mobile Users Becoming A Force

Posted by Sam Churchill on August 8th, 2008

New research from The Nielsen Company shows that a substantial number of mobile users across the globe will be following the Olympics on their cell phones this summer, making the Games a watershed moment for mobile media.

According to Nielsen Mobile, nearly 45% of US and 31% of UK mobile video users will be part of the mobile audience for the 2008 Olympic Games.

The research also suggests that the mobile internet will play a critical role, as 23% of US and 17% of UK mobile internet users will be tracking the Games through their phone browsers, with event results and medal counts the most desired pieces of information.

Google has effectively leveraged its front-runner status as it expands to wireless, according to Nielsen Mobile. Google accounted for 61% of all mobile searches in the first quarter of 2008, Nielsen found, more than tripling Yahoo’s output. MSN was last among the three providers with a mere 5%; lesser players such as AOL, go2 and Ask.com went unranked.

Top 3 Mobile Internet Search Providers for Q1 2008:

  1. Google (61%)
  2. Yahoo! (18%)
  3. MSN (5%)

But, says RCR News, a closer look shows a wide-open space for anybody. Only 44% of Google users rated their satisfaction with mobile search at eight or higher on a 10-point scale, and only 40% of Yahoo users were similarly impressed.

Yahoo’s mobile site for e-mail drew the most U.S. traffic of any wireless destination in May, according to Nielsen Mobile, drawing 14.2 million unique visitors and outpacing Google’s search page by 64%. While Google finished a distant second with 9.1 million uniques, a gaggle of sites finished just behind including The Weather Channel (8.6 million), MSN Hotmail (7.9 million), Gmail (7.5 million) and ESPN (6.5 million).

Yahoo has made strides with downloadable applications and Internet sites that effectively serve as a branded deck, taking consumers by the hand as they surf on their phones. Smaller players such as The Weather Channel and ESPN have leveraged on-deck placement to lure users.

But Apple’s iPhone is ushering in a wave of multimedia-centric devices. The Web-friendly phones may spur the branded deck. But branded portals remain firmly atop the charts when it comes to drawing traffic. And traditional Internet destinations are effectively bringing their weight to bear in wireless, says RCR News.

“Portals, with brands such as Yahoo and Google, were the most popular category of mobile Web sites as of May 2008,” Nielsen Mobile’s Nic Covey wrote. “Thirty-six million unique mobile Internet users (89% of the mobile Internet audience) accessed portals over the mobile Internet. E-mail is the next most-visited category with 26 million unique users,” or 65% of the total audience.

T- Mobile Plans

T-Mobile Plans Ap Store

Posted by Sam Churchill on August 8th, 2008

Moco News says, starting this fall, T-Mobile USA will ditch its traditional deck on the phone and replacing it with a platform that’s open to almost any developer, not unlike Apple’s App store.


As one developer, who was briefed on the matter, said: “The App store was a big deal, but that’s one phone. This is an entire carrier.”

In other words, we are talking about T-Mobile’s 31.5 million subscribers today vs. the 10 million iPhones Apple expects to sell by year-end. The impact of this move by T-Mobile could set off a wave of changes in the industry, as other carriers feel pressure to offer new applications on their networks. We are waiting for a statement from T-Mobile and will update when we have it.

Here’s the details: Developers will submit their applications online; the revenue-share agreement will be based on how much the application uses the network; and the applications will be presented to the user in order of popularity, not according to T-Mobile’s preferences.

It’s all pretty straightforward, but the more interesting aspect is that this will apply to all the carrier’s platforms from upcoming Android to Java to Sidekick and Windows Mobile.

Karmazin radios

Karmazin promises interoperable Sirius / XM radios in less than 9 months


While the newly formed Sirius XM Radio has already promised the FCC that it'll deliver interoperable radios within nine months, CEO Mel Karmazin has now told investors that they can "assume" that the radios will actually be available "a number of months sooner" than that. Karmazin added, however, that we shouldn't expect them quite as soon as this holiday season, which nicely lines up for a debut at CES in January and an actual release shortly thereafter in the first quarter of the year. Unfortunately, Karmazin didn't spill any details on said radios, with him only going so far as to describe them as "very cool."

How would you change HTC's Advantage X7510?


There's no denying that HTC's Advantage X7510 fills a narrowing niche -- after all, how many of these things have you seen out and about in the subway / underground? Still, there's just something very enticing about a 5-inch VGA display, built-in GPS, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a full-blown QWERTY keyboard, is there not? For you folks who plunked down quite a few bills in order to bring this home, how has your experience been?
