Spammer Begone is the only product I want from you....
I am interested where T-Mobile has horrible coverage. I am in coastal SC and have good coverage. Kinda thinking about AT&T (to continue to use my unlocked GSM phone) , but I hear so much bad stuff about them. Just interested, like I said....
Can you, will you still vote for John McCain, one of the "Keating 5" (Google it if it was too long ago)? I supported John McCain 8 years ago (being too young to remember that he was one of the Keating 5 years ago), but cannot and will not this time, as he has sunk to the point of desperation....doing the same kind of low down, lieing dirty tricks which George W did to him 8 years ago. The Straight Talk Express has not only lost a wheel but has lost the driver also!
I have read a number of distortions, like the e-mail that was mailed to someone, who quotes it as true that, among other things, Barack Obama is a "radical MUSLIM" (they insert all caps to emphasize). As always, these mislead and misinformed people believe anything and everything that is sent to them by e-mail even if it is as false as Hillary Clinton's words. For those, who believe those e-mails, go to www.snopes.com where you can check out some of the urban myths like Bill Gates sending you lots of money just for forwarding e-mails (who could EVER believe that) or the falseness of the myths and lies about Barack Obama. To learn, try this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp
There you will find at the top, the word FALSE in all caps and red lettering.

Time for a reality check folks. Hillary Clinton needs one. And, might I suggest, so do you!



In full disclosure, I will vote for Barack Obama and have contributed twice to his campaign ($125). I am a white male, married to a wonderful woman, and am not involved in politics....just the truth.

There is no doubt in my mind at all that Reverend Wright's inflammatory "GD" speech is despicable. Does that mean that Barack Obama is cut of the same cloth? I do not believe so at all. And I am a white male.

Certainly, Senator Clinton and her husband Bill tried to throw the race card. There are those in this forum that want to believe that Senator Obama is a racist or race baiter. Maybe you are some of those in this fine country who are too quick to believe what you read on the Internet or in an e-mail. That is why I go to Snopes.com to see if things are true or not. Most of the time, I know before I go there, but I want something reputable to send to a friend to prove that what they are circulating in an e-mail about this or that is just plain wrong.

I mainly liked Bill Clinton's years in the White House, except for the vile and despicable lies about Monica. Hillary Clinton was not blamed for being a liar or a philanderer just because she was married to then-President Bill Clinton. So, why do you Hillary supporters want to brand Borack Obama because of his former pastor? Go figure....

By the way, Bill Clinton's VP was not Hillary. Her living in the White House for 8 years is not experience, nor should the spouse of a President be granted experience on their political resume for their residence. Let the proud people of NY keep her as their Senator. I just do not want her as the President of these proud United States. Why she would vote for the Iraq War (now generically and politically spun as the War on Terror) does not make a difference to me. It is WHAT she did (vote for the war), not WHY. To look to WHY is give a person the opportunity to make up an excuse and/or to politically spin it. With 4,000 service men and women now dead from this unnecessary and unneeded war (and 30,000 injured), the pain of her decision on our country, its armed services, its deficit budget, and those of us who believe in a better world to live in, makes me shudder and pray for a better day, a better way, a better world.

I will vote for Barack Obama. And I have given him money twice. Yes, me a 60 year old, graying white male (not involved in the political machine, by the way) who has lived through wars and rumors of wars. I do not want the apocalype of the United States to occur. I want a land of the free and the home of the brave to have a new leader, a different leader. One who will lead the members of every race, creed, color and financial status.

There are those who diagree. That is all right with me. Just check your belief system and read, explore and learn more before you type and hit "send." Just because you hear something on the Internet time and again does not make it true.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
