Qwest lands HTC Vox (aka 5800 and Qwest Fusion)

 Qwest Wireless, known as the wireless arm of the west's biggest telecom provider, is little more than a blip on most national carriers radar, but with the HTC Vox now on the MVNO's network, Qwest has a pretty big feather in their cap. The phone rocks a 2.4" screen, has a two-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6, and while the official specs don't mention it, we'd be shocked if it didn't support EVDO. The phone costs $199.99 with a two year contract and is available now on their site.

 Users of FreeConference.com, a low-cost conferencing service, are discovering that their access to the service is now being blocked by some phone companies. Instead of being connected to their scheduled teleconferences, callers are now getting recordings or simply not getting through, according to FreeService.Com.
According to FreeConference.com, a division of Global Conference Partners, some major phone companies, including Sprint Nextel, AT&T Wireless (Cingular), and Qwest Communications International Inc. are blocking access to FreeConference because it competes directly with the phone companies’ own teleconferencing services.
