What the summary fails to mention is also that the average speed was at about 55 km/h, which is pretty decent...

it blend?

Actually, HTC did a pretty good job in making Windows Mobile more touch-friendly with their TouchFLO interface. The more recent HTC devices can be used rather well even without the stylus, at least for most daily task. The Diamond2 is also pretty decent when it comes to speed and responsiveness, and touch sensitivity is good even though it uses a resistive display. Sadly, when it comes ti typing, you have to flip out the stylus, unless you have one of the devices with a hardware keyboard. This is also true if you have to dig in any of the WinMo settings. I have an older HTC device with hacked 6.1 on it, with a TouchFLO-like interface. In this form, the phone is much more useful then with the original Windows Mobile 5 that came with it. I can usually a whole day without using the stylus, unless i have to type a SMS or an e-mail. I admit though, that I'm not a heavy typist...

Yes, but there are also other factors that play a significant role - for example the frequency of the AC current. If the frequency is too high, then the skin effect comes into play, and the effects on your body could me minor. This is how some tasers work, they are in the range of 50 to several hundred kV and are considered (mostly) harmless...

True, but the IMEI only identifies the phone (the handset), not the user itself. The user is identified by the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), which, after the initial login to the network, is replaced by the temporary valid TMSI. The IMSI itself is stored in the SIM card, along with the symmetric encryption key. In order to participate on any network, you need to provide both valid IMEI and IMSI. The GSM operators should maintain records of the IMEIs used in the network. There are also so called black lists, where banned IMEIs are stored. In theory, if your phone is stolen and you report it, the operator can ban it from being used on the network (and the black lists are supposedly exchanged between operators). However, in my experience, most operators don't care - probably due to the mentioned before easy IMEI change on most handsets.
