thats bullshit that Vzw gets this in September. I can't believe they would release the curve and the bold so close together. and I am pissed my 8703e broke so I bought a curve and now the bold is coming out in 3 months. I hate vzw
So I tried installing Linux about a year ago with no avail. I used an old Dell laptop because it was lying around and I read the same things, "Linux is amazing!" Or "Linux is simply great!" Now, I am no computer programmer or electrical engineer. I am, however, a very smart guy with a great knack for computers. To me, Linux is something for the computer programmers and technological "wiz-kids" because I found it to be a total headache. I spent HOURS reading forums and trying different workarounds just like others have posted here. In the end, I couldn't get my wireless card to work. That virtually rendered the laptop useless in my opinion. When I looked online and found photos of amazing looking desktops with fantastic "themes," I quickly learned that for someone like me it would take hours to get my computer looking like that. To be honest, I don't know if I could ever do some of what these people had done.

In the end, to me Linux is NOT easy and beautiful. It is an operating system for programmers and those of the like. It is nowhere near ready for the general population, especially if someone like me can't wrap their head around it with hours and hours worth of work.
What I want to know is when RIM is going to launch a new device for Verizon with a full Qwerty keyboard and WiFi! Thats when I will upgrade from my 7250.
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!"
