Have to love all these bells and whistles.... THAT DON'T WORK. I picked up the movie last night, put it in the player, and watched a black screen for a good thirty minutes. I have a BD 1.0 player so who knows WTF was wrong with it. Bought it at Wal-Mart, so that was even more fun trying to return an open Blu-Ray movie. After 30 minutes and 3 managers, I succeeded. Now we'll see if the new copy I bought and a different store, not Wal-Mart, works any better. Otherwise Paramount can't kiss my a$$ on any future purchases.

Having spent the last 8 years in rural cell phone areas after living in a metro area for 10 years. Verizon is the only carrier in any rural town I have lived that have had any decent phones, but their coverage is guarenteed (along with Alltel) to drop out the moment you leave home. The local company here now is GSM, but they have flimsy phones with even flimsier options available. In order to have something like the iPhone out here, you have to sacrifice service, and in some cases even value. The cellular market is becoming more of a oligopoly with ATT, Verizon and Alltel as the only real options, and they seem to focus more on the metro areas rather than the rural.
