Gizmondo Commercial In German Magazin


Huh? I always have contract sponsored mobile phones - I don't have any ads in them...?

They usually are the same than the standard mobiles (except for some branding which can easily be removed by flashing a new firmware :p )
 
That´s illegal. <_<

For your information: One reason why you get the "SmartAdd" version cheaper is that you´ll get advertisment on it over GPRS. That´s how it is in the UK, at least.

So even if you´re happy with the contract, you´ll still get advertisment over and over (3 times a day, i think). An i´m pretty sure thay will implement those ads in a very very effective, (e.g. annoying) form.
 
The Giz is also a phone? I know my contract is 3cents per 1kb via GPRS, so if they do the ads, i wonder if there will be a charge for the ads.
 
Well, not at all illegal in Germany, as I let Motorola do the flash ;)
(because of various bugs, etc.)

It's illegal to UNLOCK it, but not to upgrade the FW.

BTW: I never heard of any SmartAdds in Germany.
 
Erm. Evil Dagon. I would understand that if you weren´t German.
But you are. So please have a second look at the picture posted above.

Schau ins Kleingedruckte. Da steht "*Gerät mit Werbe-SMS- Übertragung"

You see? SmartAdds is also available in germany.
