Agreed. The Q9H was a great phone, especially for a wm standard device. So Motorola got something right in recent times, and the Droid looks just as good.
If you look at the side shot on the left, you can see the stylus tucked into the bottom of the phone. So that would be resistive.
@ OneLove - "Buy cheap linux netbook, install windows 7."

For the Dell Mini that should read "Buy cheap linux netbook, install OSX." I would be willing to wager that Dell's not seeing a higher rate of return on Ubuntu netbooks primarily because people are buying the low end model (with Ubuntu) and hackintoshing it. When Dell ran those $199 for a day Mini 9 promos they all came with Ubuntu preinstalled. This is by no means a shot against Ubuntu or Windows - it's simply the reality of the Ubuntu Mini 9 being the best (and cheapest) hackintosh netbook on the market.
XDA, Modaco, and freewarepocketpc.net are probably my top three for free apps (I've rarely ever bought an app, except for Kinoma). There's tons of other sites and developers offering there wares out there as well, so until the marketplace comes along your best friend is google. Are you looking for anything in particular?
It's a simple registry edit to fix ICS. They did the same thing to the Q9h with the 6.1 upgrade.
I have been wishing for the same exact thing. I would love to be able to replace the P3 currently running my FreeNAS box, all I'm asking for is a cheap atom board with 4 sata connectors (gigabyte nic would be a plus as well). PCI sata cards are just too much of a bottleneck, especially with 3.0 sata drives.
Not gonna happen pal. The BJ2 is over 2 years old and Sammy's not gonna pay for you to get an upgrade. There's not much (if any) outside development that I know of either, so the chances of a 6.5 build being ported are probably slim to none.

More importantly, we're not even sure if there is going to be a 6.5 Standard, or why it would even be necessary. Sliding panels pretty much does everything Titanium does, and the kinetic touch interface isn't going to do you much good on a non-touchscreen Standard phone. Check out the Excalibur forumn on XDA to see if they've got something in the works for Standard devices.

As for the BJ2 being an awesome workhorse, I've got to agree with you there. My bro and cousin both have one and they couldn't be happier. I used to have a Moto Q9H before I picked up a Kaiser, and that was a great phone too. Don't know why everyone rags on winmo, the Standard devices are powerful and easy to use.
@GeekPL: I think what people are basically asking for is the zune store on the 360, so that you could use your zune pass to download directly to your console instead of streaming from the zune software on the pc. It would be convenient, but personally wouldn't be high on my priority list. Zune software on winmo, on the other hand, now that's something I've been waiting on for quite a while.
My mom asked for a small mp3 player for Christmas to use when she works out. It came down to the sansa clip, zen stone, and ipod shuffle. The clip won hands down for its better screen, battery life, and the addition of an fm radio. I picked a 4gb from best buy for $45. She loves it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
