Ah, thanks, Josh. That pesky capital H made the difference. :)
What is "Chome"? If you mean Chrome, that's not a mobile phone OS; that's Android's role.
This is fine as long as there are only two or three tabs. If there are four or maybe five, it's harder to use because you can't see the names of the other tabs now.

It's not like it was hard to touch tabs in WM 6.1, either; just use your fingernail. The hard part was the little scroll arrows on dialogs with more than four or five tabs. That's where flicking becomes quite useful.
Besides what packetsniffer said, doesn't that model to the right look like it has, um, a *physical* keyboard? Just because a device has a touchscreen doesn't mean that you have to *type* on the screen.
I use Verizon, but I suppose I can sell this. :D
Hey, what's up with the credit? I submitted this story a few days ago. Where's the love with the credit?

Anyway, I understand terminating people who are costing a company more than they're paying (and 10+ calls per month probably gets in that range).

However, I also sympathize with those customers who had legitimate issues with billing or service. If Sprint can't fix those kinds of problems after one call, I'd call back, too.

But I have no sympathy for anybody trying to get personal information about other customers (pretexting). They should be drawn and quartered.

Sheri, what do you mean that "MS wont allow me to upgrade to" Windows Mobile 6? Microsoft is trying to get OEMs to provide upgrades by offering it free (maybe).

Also remember that Microsoft doesn't produce any consumer-installable versions of Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile requires customization by the device OEM and the OEM is the company that makes upgrades available (or not).

If there's no WM 6 upgrade for your Q (and mine), place the blame where it belongs -- on Motorola, not Microsoft.

Unless things have changed, only one person at a time can connect to a Slingbox. So Sling would need to most one box for every simultanous user. How many devices do you think that would require?

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!"
