If the adage \"knowledge is power\" holds true, then The Jakarta Post readers in the market for new cellular phones must be considered fairly weak. The reason: The information of most use to potential buyers -- the comparative chart outlining the various products and features -- was rather out-of-date.",
        "content": "<p>Cellular phones<\/p>\n<p>I refer to the article: Ringing in the era of cellular phones<br>\nin The Jakarta Post, Oct. 27, 1996.<\/p>\n<p>If the adage \"knowledge is power\" holds true, then The Jakarta<br>\nPost readers in the market for new cellular phones must be<br>\nconsidered fairly weak. The reason: The information of most use<br>\nto potential buyers -- the comparative chart outlining the<br>\nvarious products and features -- was rather out-of-date. For<br>\nexample, the chart lists at least two phones that have been out<br>\nof production for nearly a year.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the chart fails to mention the only<br>\nhandphone available in this country with Bahasa Indonesia as one<br>\nof its operating languages (Motorola 8500) and the phone with one<br>\nof the longest talk and stand-by times on the market (Motorola<br>\n8700). The chart also omitted the lightest GSM cellular phone in<br>\nthe world, the Motorola GSM StarTAC which, at 110 grams, is 25<br>\npercent lighter than the next lightest phone on the chart (the<br>\nMotorola 8200).<\/p>\n<p>So, while I send my thanks for a welcome and comprehensive<br>\narticle on this exciting -- and sometimes confusing -- industry,<br>\nI would also encourage you next time to go straight to the source<br>\n(in this case, the cellular phone manufacturers) for information<br>\nthat will be most useful to your readers.<\/p>\n<p>ROBERT VAN TILBURG<\/p>\n<p>Operations Manager<\/p>\n<p>Asia Pacific Cellular<\/p>\n<p>Subscriber Division<\/p>\n<p>PT Motorola Indonesia<\/p>",
