Well, I work in IT and three people got them in my department. One kept and the other two returned. One returner went back to his iPhone on AT&T and the other went back to his older BlackBerry on Verizon. Third isn't really happy with it either but he's giving it a chance.

I just do not believe this people return the BlackBerry Curve more than the Storm on Verizon.

Haha, I recognized it too, but not by the backgrounds. It was from the green parking lines. I was just over there the other day eating at the Pastrami shop.

When at my father's house in Victoria, Canada on Vancouver Island, I can make calls on AT&T across the water from Port Angeles, WA (without Roaming.) Sometimes I get "Call Failed" but for the most part it works. Over in Port Angeles, I noticed my phone saying Roger's from time to time too.

It's over 50 miles across the water to the USA from my father's house, which looks right towards Port Angeles. Lucky for him, the Roger's GSM signal (his carrier) is strong all around Victoria so his phone doesn't roam on AT&T...

And I use the Manual Network Selection on my RAZR V3xx to stay on AT&T signal so I don't inadvertently make a call on Rogers.

The ATI All-In-Wonder did come at the end of 1996, but as far as I know the software did not have time-warp style playback back then. It was more like a digital VCR where you could only watch what you recorded after it was finished recording.

My friend bought one of these this past weekend on Saturday at that AT&T Store at La Cienega and Beverly in Los Angeles. Cute little phone! He got the black one -- $99 with a contract renewal. $35 unlimited data+200 text data plan. Sucks you couldn't get the $20/mos plan. The agent said after you get the $100 MIR, call and change CSR and change to another phone (like a RAZR) and switch to MediaMAX.

Newegg has the PC-Chips version of this (open box) for $39:

Identical motherboard with the 1.5ghz chip soldered on. I just picked up one of these to put in my server, where I currently have a old and hot Athlon 1000. I don't need super speed -- just low power. Onboard SATA-150 as well is a nice bonus.

The old Matrix and Corolla shared identical drivetrain. In a Corolla, you could easily get 38mpg on the highway. (I've taken countless long road trips in rental Corollas. Sometimes I can hit the 40mpg mark.) In the rental Vibe's I've had, you could usually muster a best of 33 or sometimes 34. So that shows you the body shape right away gets you a 4 to 5mpg decrease on identical roads.

So don't compare the Cobalt MPG to a Vibe. Also, the same 2.4l Toyota motor gets 31mpg in a big and heavy Camry. The Camry is just a more slippery shape.

Also, in all of the 1.8l rental Vibes I've had, I never had a problem with the engine being harsh. Sure it's only 130hp in a heavy car, but it got the job done fine. They were all smooth and not horribly loud. And 33 to 34mpg in a wagon is nothing to sneeze at. (I've taken a 1900 mile trip and a 3000 miles trip in a Vibe.)

On the TSX, it's correct. Say you were pulling up to that pump indicated in the icon. The hose is on the pump's right side -- and it goes into car's left side. So what's incorrect about that? The pump's orientation is correct.

The interface and tech specs look exactly like my current RAZR V3xx. Maybe the V3xx was a test-bed for them. The outside screen looks pretty nice and huge.

While EDGE isn't horrible for data (I have it on my BB 8700) 3G data is just so damn fast that it's a shame this phone doesn't have it.
