Beware of Alltel's warranty policy. I had this thing a day and the trackball intermittently stopped scrolling up. Two different reps at the store lied to me, telling me nothing is wrong and it's all in my head. They also told me there were none left in stock. I called the store from another phone 10 minutes later and they had "plenty in stock". They also informed me that while you can get a refund (minus activation fee) or swap for a DIFFERENT phone in 15 days, they will not replace the phone if it has a defect, not even after *1 day*. I opted for the refund.
Put simply, if you are with Alltel, you're best to get a phone that is simple and reliable, and cheap to replace if it breaks, because YOU WILL pay full cost to fix anything with Alltel, regardless of fault or warranty. Test the phone thoroughly before stepping out of the store. That nice attitude the reps had selling you the phone will disappear instantly if you have any trouble afterward.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
