Charlotte, NC

Mine has been sporadic since last night. Seems like push is not working. Sometimes I can only get my email (pop3 and IMAP) if I do a manual reconcile. Last couple of hours it has been fine, earlier today and last night not so much.

Blackberry Curve 8300
one IMAP account
one POP3 account.

Both have been affected.
Here in Charlotte recently, a cop was in a MARKED cruiser, doing 90 on a 45 mph city street, but with no lights or siren, which is illegal. He hit and killed a young girl who only had her license a few weeks.
He said he was responding to a call for assistance, but there was no imminent danger.
Remember the good ol' days when they turned them over between 15k and 25k miles?
The last one I got had 49k miles on it, I have also gotten them recently with 45k and 32k.
We are exclusively Hertz. The condition of these high mileage cars is deplorable. The 49k was an Azera. It actually seemed like it held up fairly well, but the interior was disgustingly filthy. I am embarrassed to put customers in these cars. They ask where it came from, I tell them Hertz, they are obviously not impressed. The rental car companies are not doing themselves any favors like this. If you're going to keep it for 50k or more, at least spend a couple hundred bucks and get it detailed around 25k.
Exactly what I thought when I saw it, cFoo. Not interactive, just animated, and not very well at that.
Kind of a big yawn for me. Not exactly new or exciting information.
Hey, I sent you guys pics of a Kia re-branded to a Mercedes and you didn't even use them!
In Charlotte, the police are doing their part to conserve fuel. I see them blow through stop signs regularly.
Hyundai owns Kia. Forgot about that little fact.
Huh?

The West Point, GA plant is a Kia plant, if I'm not mistaken. At least it was the last time I drove by the site. Hyundai does have a plant in AL, near Montgomery.
Caffeine does not work on me. At all. If I'm sleepy I stop and nap, even if just for 10 minutes, it makes a huge difference.
Most of the time I am alone (I'm in sales), another sure-fire way to get awake and stay that way is to talk to someone on the phone.
Almost running off the road or hitting a wall from nodding off wakes you up pretty well, too, but not such a good idea.
Well I saw a Kia badged as a Mercedes once, so I guess it's not that far-fetched.
But then again, that was in Calhoun, Georgia.
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!"
