Al has higher conductivity than SS. I'd have to crunch numbers to see if it would make that much difference at cell phone frequencies (power budget). At 60 Hz, ACSR has most of the current in the Al not the steel from the skin effect. SS

From what I've been reading, the hardware seems rather nice. Not sure I like the iAds (concept) though especially if the ad data downloaded is counted against the data limit before extra charges occur. Has anyone seen anything on the detai

It is a normal question but not something you have to answer. I've not been offered a job because I did not discuss my previous salary with the new company according to someone that knew. I'll put zero down if it is a required field. If i
