Comments on: Palm Phone Jammer fits in your hand, annoys everyone around you

When mobile use becomes unbearable is when you are forced to listen to long periods of inane or smutty talk on a crowded train. You can’t get another seat, the people refuse a polite request to stop, and there you are, stuck. Why would I want to know how ‘wasted’ someone was last night? Or how many times they threw up? Or what colour nail varnish would go best with their new clubbing outfit? Or one of those ’so I goes …. so he goes …. so I’m like ….’ conversations.

There are mobile free carriages on trains, but people take no notice of them. I can put up with a short, to the point call, but after 30 min or so of mindless drivel, it gets really annoying. I shouldn’t have to put up with it. There is a time and a place for everything, and a train carriage is not one of them.

No bloody wonder the World looks at America in such a lousy light. Tasers, mace, guns,violence and now some prat who thinks because he/she thinks that mobile phone users need to be stopped is advocating the use of this piece of shit. Obnoxious? Your line of thinking (not that you think but do as your bible bashers tell you)is what is obnoxious.
If you don’t like something then get it changed legally. Your always quoting your amendments written 250 years ago by a bunch of gun toting god fearing wankers. Violence and prevention of liberty solve nothing.

I love people that get so worked up over this crap. All your “what ifs” make me laugh… /sarcasm yeah what if there is a psycho running around with this phone jammer and then wait for emergency situations to jams peoples phones so they cant get help! OH NO! /sarcasm off. Cell phones have not been around that long, people will still get help, there are land lines, and all the psycho killers have better time on their hand or they can just as well use a gun/knife/other killing device to get the job done faster.

Pacemakers? Last time I checked this jams phone signals and pacemakers don’t run on phone signals.

God forbid you can’t use your phone for a short period of time. Grow the fuck up people.

This seems like a very dangerous device to be released to the general public. Think of all the destruction you could do with in situations when people REALLY needed to make a phone call

If this doesn’t work… strip an old microwave oven and point its antenna towards the mobile phone, stereo or TV that you don’t like. They’ll never work again !!! Don’t stand in front of it when you do and let someone with knowledge convert your Microwave into a permanent jamming device.

Are most people so addicted to ‘instant’ communication that they have a problem with a device like this? I’d like to offer the view that most cell phone users have forgotten (or never did learn) social responsibility – that of not including everyone around them in HALF their conversation. Take it outside – call them later. But no… it’s all about ‘them’ and they don’t give a damn about those around them.

And for those that think you can walk up to someone and ask them to stop. Stop what? What do you propose you ask them? If they’ve already decided to be this rude, what is a kind request going to do?

but then again, this is America, the country where a pizza can get to your house before emergency team does… so i cant really say that bit about the fire department.

this is an interesting device. i find it funny how people see this and think “oh these are going to be every where” or state something like “i hope i catch someone using one of these” ya, like your going to be lucky enough to be at the right starbucks on the right street, on the right corner in the right town at the right moment to catch the 1 guy that has one of these that barely does what it says because its not military grade equipment. and as far as “why dont you ask the person being loud on the phone to be quiet” well, i would like to see that happen where the person does politely agree, then couple of seconds later be talking loudly again, or instead they turn around with a disgusted look on their face and tell you to shut the fuck up. its that second person that deserves to be hit on the jammer. oh but what about pace makers. ya, that could be a problem, but most of those people spend most of the day inside their OWN HOME. what if someone is sick and got rushed to the hospital? well those people are in good hands, the jammer will make a bit of a problem, but after a moment the signal will be back, because after all, its not military grade, and this isnt putting out an EMP pulse. the person will eventually get the call, and run out. and fire? please… im sure the fire department is already on its way by the time you start to dial. there are hard lines in other buildings. and if your cell isnt working, your going to be looking for a hardline anyways. this item is made for a few shits and giggles, nothing more. and even a 166 dollar one probably wont work as good as it said it will, let alone the little 30 dollar pos that was posted way up top. no, what i want is kind of science fiction, and EMP pulse gun, so when the damn neighbors turn up their base in their car to where its actually raddling things in my house, i can destroy their couple thousand dollar piece of hardware and get some rest. why do they always have to do it in the dead of night?

Don’t you think a conscience enhancer would work much better to stop the annoying gits using the phones for everything. there is no need to ask stupid questions.

since insurgents use cell phones to detonate IED’s, could this be used as a way to prevent the detonation of IED’s within a certain radius of troops equip with this?

What a spineless passive aggressive way to stop someone’s bad behavior. You don’t have to confront someone and ask them to stop or leave. If someone is talking loud and annoying, grow a pair and ask or tell them to stop. Don’t mess with responsible mobile user’s wireless reception just because you are a wussy.

Does Palm USA really make this, as the article suggests? I find that unlikely.

The problem with the FCC and this jammer, is it is an impossible restriction to enforce on a mobile person who only needs to kick it on for a short period of time to achieve the desired effect.

To locate any jamming radio signal requires triangulation AND the ability to receive it. Since this device has such a small effective radius, the FCC would have to have sensing trucks within, at most, a 200 yards distance.

No, only permanent installations can be enforced, not mobile.

Want to make an easier jammer? Just create a device that generates an electrical arc. That jams everything. Don’t believe me? Listen to the radio while operating a blender or electric drill. No fancy circuitry needed, just voltage. The easiest circuit involves a battery and a relay.

Aussie Allan: I would still be laughing, because annoying twats like you is worth A MILLION DEATHS.

Ever had a girlfriend who has schizophrenic episodes necessitating weeks of therapy when people talk for hours on the phone?

I have. People who use mobiles to talk for long periods of time deserve all the cancer I can give them.

I would laugh so hard, if someone had a heart attack, and their partner was trying to call for help on a cell, but couldn’t call anyone because of one of these jammers.

I would laugh harder, if the partner started to run around trying to get signal but she kept within the 30 foot radius. All the while, you go over to see why a person is on the floor.

I would laugh even harder, if the people around you said “here use my phone, its always has signal” but low and behold it doesn’t work because you right next to them
