Ashburn, VA | Interesting Phone, email, internet, global address book: it sounds like a smartphone that only works around your house. Just like the iPhone, but you can't take it with you. Now they just need to let customers purchase and listen to music on the new device to make it complete.  | |

Now they just need to let customers purchase and listen to music on the new device to make it complete. If you already have a mobile smartphone(with WiFi), you can already do everything in the home this phone does without paying Comcast anything more than you are already.
The only market that I could see being even a tiny bit interested would be some people with no cellphone data plans and looking for a cheap somewhat smartphone for home use only. It looks like a device in search of a customer that would want it, instead of the other way around.

| | Triple Play is out My $99 Triple Play (Phone Internet TV) is no longer available unless I pay $139, so I am going to go back to Bell/ATT or possibly Dish Network.
This almost smart phone is a drag. Who wants landline phone anyway? I need it to open the gates at my community, otherwise I would just use my mobile 24/7. | |

Your community can't link to a cell phone? My g/f works for a gated apartment community, and AFAIK, they can link the phones to a cell phone (although it's not a gate really, it's the 'doorbell' type phone at the outside of each complex... | |

kudos:3 | Re: Triple Play is out It depends on the system they use. Some actually tap into the hard wires of the phone lines to send the tone back, some do not. Some communities simply have a policy against cell phones for security reasons. | |

Mullica Hill, NJ | its basicly CDV Self Install Kit. which is just what we dont need, people already have enough trouble setting up their own cable modem.
Hopefully the Deployments are only allowed to areas that have minimal RF related trouble calls, because one of the biggest reasons to need a tech for CDV was to check the RF.

| | What about caps? So... is it a VoIP phone or a wireless (cellular?) phone? If it is a VoIP phone then I am assuming you will need internet service with them... and if that's the case then what about caps? Will it count against caps or not? Where's that pesky net neutrality law when you need it. | |

kudos:2 | Re: What about caps? Comcast Digital Voice. Not sure about internet connectivity, but the phone itself would be runing over a dedicated-to-voice cable channel. | |
|
| | Video Conversation? Now if the service had video conversation this would be a breakthrough, but why would anyone want to pay more for something they get over the internet that they already paying for it just dumb. Well let just say video conversation between Comcrap costumer at less it would be a better service. | |
