110.9 x 59.8 x 18 (19.55 at thickest part) mm

Thats twice the size of a Blackberry Curve which I already think is a little on the large size.

Its well and good, but now that mobile phones have been regulated to have a mandatory "Emergency call" feature when locked. I can't even imagine how many false calls they get from this

What is scary is that my blackberry becomes pretty much useless without a battery pull after calling an 911. I'm guessing this is to let the user know when they have accidentally called 911, but its extremely annoying when you do call in a emergency and have your phone bricked afterwards.

Completely agree. Plus I have founded that being able to explain a problem and how to solve it requires a higher level of understand than just being able to do it yourself.

At least no matter what happens you win ... until you realize you lost more than you won.

I still can't believe Rockstar had a mandatory recall on a game where you play a criminal, and the games primary objectives including assisinations, pimping, thieving and selling dugs because a third party patch enabled clothed sex scenes. Its almost so daft that I can't believe it. All this uproar over something that everyone does, in a game that glorifies acts thats are illegal almost everywhere and seen as unacceptable by almost everyone on this planet.

They claim they sold to MTV because :"Harmonix has always been about music first -- games are a means to an end for us"

I wish MTV was about music. For at least the last decade its been all trash reality tv and teen celeb gossip.

My carries (telus) charges the company $8 / MB for my overage on my BB in Canada. Sadly thats much better then it was before a rival launched the iPhone here. Before that we were paying $60/month for a 8MB plan, with $20/GB overage.

I guess its all what you make of it. I had a full time job through University, and graduated debt free. Had three job offers when I did and now have a great job.

None of my friends took the same route though and either had family money or piled on the debt while taking next to useless arts classes. Now most of them have crap jobs and are talking about grad school.

So like I said its what you make of it. If you look at it as a 'good time' then you will get nowhere, but if use it as an experience to better yourself then you will be rewarded.

I have broke the screen on two blackberries. Should I be be trying to organize a witch hunt? or should I just stop sitting on my phone? The iPhone is very popular right now and is thus getting alot of press. I don't know if this is a real issue, but currently a handful of stories makes me think its like me sitting on my phones.

Budwiser is no longer the number one selling beer in the world. A Chinese beer called Snow now holds that tittle. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/nov/22/china-snow-beer-bud-light

Maybe they can get $25 billion, just like Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

I had a first generation titanium G4 powerbook. It was a piece of crap. The stress of the monitor opening and closing caused the titanium to crack on four cases. I was lucky to have applecare. The slot loading DVD player also had a habit of scratching disks, and about once a day the surface where your wrists rest would shock you.

I live in Canada in a Condo so I'm out of luck. We don't have cablecard up here, so I'm stuck with the shaw PVR.

I think its a combination of both. But since I'm a condo dweller and my area doesn't have telus TV, shaw knows I have no other option and thus can get away with treating me like crap.

DVR's are still out of the financial reach off many people. Maybe its because i'm fresh out of uni and most of my friends got useless degrees, but in my group of friends I'm the only one with a PVR. Shaw up here in Western Canada still wants $600 for a HD-PVR, which is out of reach of alot of people.

Even with a PVR I find myself watching alot of live television for two reasons. One, you really need to watch sports live. Two, my cable signal is garbage and if watching live a sudden drop out for a second or two is an annoyance, but if I'm watching on on the PVR the recording fails. So while the PVR is great to set a bunch of stuff on season passes and have something to watch in my free time, its just not there ... at least from my provider ... to depend on for something you 'have to' watch.
