Ive actually had this issue with 3 Dell laptops already, starting in 2004. First was a Dell Inspiron 9200 which sent a shock out, Which gratefully Dell replaced. Than a inspiron 9300 with the same issue. Once again Dell replaced this with a new XPSM170. Then i got once more "The Shock of my Life" quite literally when i was sent a good 3 feet by a shock at the bottom. Right away Dell Replaced it (and when i say right away i mean i got a new one in less that 4 days.) and i now sit here typing this on a nother xps, this time the M1710. Great computers, just avoid scratching the bottom, i think any part unpainted in that black coating is conductive. at least thats part of my conclusion (CONSIDERING ALL OF THESE LAPTOPS ARE GROUNDED WITH FULLY GROUNDED ADAPTERS.)

So, Dell is a great corp, its just one could say there computers are quite... shocking, to say the least. and my dealings with there tech support was actually relatively sane. each time supervisors have discussed it with me, and sent me new laptops. (not including teh countless power adapter replacements, keyboards and dvd drives over the years.)

even before 02, the first RFID cellular was in japan, nothing new about this.. infact the title should be,

'Finaly, North Americans get a decent Technology'

lol.. great stuff though.

i beleive as i mentioned in the email to you, that they are going to be bluetooth crippled. at least as mentioned in the link i showed you.. (albeit it was in Japanese..) also radiation reports (jtv) say that the k/u830 is quite high for a modern phone....

what a well... for lack of a better word.. interesting? story..

yay.. another case swappable device.. because there aren't enough of those... and while i say it.. there aren't enough Microsoft fans as well.. (delve into that comment.)

I'm worried about the square directional button, albeit it probably won't break as quick, i still think that it will be slower though...

As usual great reporting chris and engadget guys! although i do feel this phone is horribly designed, it most likely will take popularity as another cheap krazr / candybar slvr alternative. I just wish someone could bring in the next fad already, these blockish skinny phones that all look alike are really hitting a nerve now after two years+....

Just seen more bootlegs of this in Chinatown nyc, in a way, i think the coloring is better then the nokia original...
