He probably thinks he's in a year where optical media stands the test of time longer than magnetic media.

Oh wait, that's *this year*.

In my experience, using my Motorola Milestone "Like a phone" is the surest way to burn out the battery in no time. I can go from 100% to a 15% warning inside of a one hour phone conversation, but I can have GPS and 3G running easily for a 4-5 hour geocaching hike without any problems. Now, if you call me during that hike even a short phone call will make a significant impact on the battery life.

I, for one am hoping to see better battery life out of a full blown Cyanogen ROM since the carriers can't seem to get their act together to make one themselves.

Yes.

Come on, don't bring the seal hunt into this.

My OFFICE.

Outlet #1 > extension cord > power bars daisy chained down the middle of 2 rows of 5 desks, Java Developer sitting at each desk with PC and Monitor. Some charge their phones as well.

Outlet #2 > Same thing with 10 more Developers.

Right after we moved in, the cleaning staff came in, plugged in a vacuum to the outlet under outlet #1 and the breaker flipped. They haven't vacuumed the Dev area since. (that was in September)

We haven't burned the place down yet but I took "Mid June" in the pool.

What Ignorant Masses? Maybe "Paranoid Coward" or "Captain Imagination" is a better name for you.

I've been admin of various BES boxes for many years, including my own personal BES at home. I've seen ways to remotely shut down/lock/erase blackberries but I've never discovered a way to remotely turn on a phone that's already off in someone's pocket. Interesting. I wonder why the battery doesn't die on these turned-off phones in everyone's pocket since of course they must still be awake ("on") enough to receive the mysterious remote-on signal that you're talking about?

Lies. All lies, plain and simple. To what end? What benefit do you gain from trying to spread this BS?

Dear citizens of St Petersburg,

That is all.

Too bad they don't get paid like NFL players do though. My high school gym teacher was an active player on the Tiger Cats, and I don't think it was because he loved to teach. (even if he did)
