Let's face it, you switched to AT&T because you wanted an iPhone and didn't have a choice in the matter.

Not at all. I would rather have an Android phone. But Tmobile's coverage is worse than AT&T in this area.

I've actually looked into buying a Rodgers branded g1 android phone (from Canada). That phone will work with AT&T 3G here, but its an Android phone. But that requires a big outlay of cash to get the phone (though I may make it back from selling the iPhone).

I had Verizon for near 10 years. However, this last summer I switched to AT&T because verizon's network was dropping my calls in my apartment half the time or more. And this is just 2 miles outside of downtown Portland, Or. Haven't had a dropped call on my iPhone on AT&T yet.

So just remember that strength of network is not "national", because most people don't move around all the time. Find the network that is best in your area first, then pick a phone.

Instead of giving lots of money to Gamestop by selling your games for crap prices, try a game trading site like goozex.com. For the price of shipping (plus $1 each trade), I have traded about 10 titles this year. All goozex does is setup lists of wants and haves for people, and matches up people for trades.

Actually, "Quad Damage" is a boring powerup that displays a complete lack of imagination.

I always thought the powerup was invented because "Quad Damage" began with a Q, like Quake. This actually shows some imagination, but in a more literary direction. If the game was "Penguin Attack" they might have made it "Penta Damage" with a P being the symbol.

I'm not saying it's a wonderful powerup, I'm just thinking it's more of a pun than an real powerup that's actually been thought-out and included because of positive contributions to game play.
