I frequently had a habit of reading emails on my smartphone and forgetting about them. Now, I can either move them to Reference on my phone, or do it when I get back to my desk. But nothing slips through the cracks this way, which was a huge problem when I first got a smartphone.
If Duetsche Telekom doesn't want T-Mobile anymore (which evidence suggests is the case), and they can't sell it to AT&T, what is going to happen to it?

You act like middle-aged balding men are the leading demographic of gun crimes.
Yet the US allows gun ownership
The US doesn't "allow" gun ownership. We recognize it as a fundamental human right, the right of self-defense.
You don't understand how government IT works these days.
Most government IT shops in the U.S. have not yet recovered from the election of Bush the Younger. When he came into office, [cut for sanity]
Right, it's all Bush's fault. Just like everything else.
I am not the typical idiot user. I'm the guy most people come to when they have a question.
I didn't realize that the circle with the Windows logo in upper left was a menu for almost a month.
Which is why they replaced it with "Backstage" in Office 2010.
Blackberry - goes to 90mph, drives comfortably, reliably, and 45% of the nation drives one, but no one talks about theirs. However, it looks like a 1986 Taurus.
