Don't look now; Vonage stock was up a quarter today at nine bucks. Could this be the beginning of the big turnaround? Methinks not. But then again, a year ago at this time I was saying why NOT buy Vonage? Perhaps that's why I trust my stock portfolio to other, more informed people.

And speaking of a quarter, that's about how much the sales channel's support is worth when it comes to the F3000 phone from UT Starcom. There is NO documentation for this puppy, and despite my constant nagging of my distirbutor to put me in touch with somebody who actually CARES what I'm doing with their products, instead I've been getting a lot of useless sympathy.

OK, we see that you've identified problems with the phone, and we'd really like to help you. REALLY we would.
