I love jawbone. Straight up. Best bluetooth sets.
I always need more video games please
Holy f balls! Mine mine mine mine mine!
Wow. Mee mee mee! I need a new laptop pretty badly. Can't take my crapintosh any longer
Man this is so much better odds than the lottery! Giddy up
Still no macbook wheel
Well I don't have a comment really for fixing the world economy... I already tried to play the lottery to fix my own economy but that I didn't work out too well. Figure 100/10000 is better odds than 1:150million.

Oh and Windows 7 is sweeeet
Reminds of Levar Burton from Star Trek TNG. I can envision a sort of visor that has two tiny LCDs that can focus to a point and two cameras.... really cool stuff
We are the borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile
I have been a Verizon subscriber for 4 years and have been waiting FOREVER for them to come out with a phone I deemed "acceptable" as compared to GSM smartphones available over the last few years. Repeatedly I have been frustrated by bloat-ware-loaded, underpowered, crippled versions of phones spit out by Verizon. Their service is the best in my area, so it's always been a battle.

The very first night I went out and got a Storm, with a new-every-2 I got an extra $100 off so with accessories (had I turned in the rebate) the phone would have cost only $130! For three weeks I kept it. I downloaded the update IMMEDIATELY when it became available online. I put 2 business cards behind my battery cover (honestly this made my click screen go from unusable to atleast moderately passable). I tried to like the phone as much as I could, and I just couldn't. The lack of WiFi is frustrating, the click screen is exhausting, and the lack of compatible apps make it no more worthwhile for the moment than a proprietary OS. DiVX and Xvid both played, but choppy, so that I had to convert my files using Media Manager. That software itself was a joke, as it took close to 5 minutes to boot up and every time I clicked on it the program would seize!

I never thought I'd say this... but I made the switch to AT&T and picked up an iPhone. I debated on the Bold and the Touch Pro (on Sprint, AT&T and Verizon), and I have to say that as much as I have always hated most of the iPhone/Apple loving groupies that dominate these forums, the device is a PLEASURE to use. Jailbreaking the phone is a piece of cake. Getting iRealSMS makes texting tolerable, and I do not miss the click screen for a single second.

Good idea. Poorly executed. I pray that through software they can fix MOST problems, but any reader who owns a Storm, you HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO put 2 business cards cut to the size of the battery back between the battery and the battery cover plate. You have no idea how much this improves the shoddy/crappy device you own.

RIP RIM
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
