I love how comments like this get modded up, then later we get up-modded comments about how there's too much Apple hype.

Oh, and if there is a 'freedom' phone out there, it's not running Android.

I had British beer once that somebody served to me cold... by accident.

If you had run the simulation first you might have succeeded in predicting the location of frosty piss.

Actually, I did learn something new today: Fanboys of Glenn Beck actually do exist!

You always turn into what you hate.

I think it's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Or is there a bunch of magazines I've never heard of with titles like: 'Letters to the Editor'?

You're asking an awful lot of an AT&T CSR.

You get a lot more complaints by people using a phone that has sold in the millions than you do from a small group of people who bought phones then hacked a different ROM onto them? Well there's a +5 Interesting post if I ever saw one.

Thanks guys, that really cleared it up.

Erm... then why does Slashdot get an exemption?

Did you know that if you touch that dangly bit in the back of your throat you can taste everything you've eaten in the last 12 hours?

Absolutism does not an argument make and history does not agree with you.

No patents, no innovation.
