Fuze is a hip way of spelling fuse, from the Latin fusus, past participle of fundere to pour, melt, to join together with extreme heat. Actually a pretty cool name when I think about it - would love to win it.
I bought an Ion in 2004 and loved the car - great value and even sort of fun to drive. It had the plastic panels that take a beating in the parking lot and still look good - I really enjoyed the Saturn buying experience too, so when I first read about this car, I was reay to buy one - I put my name in at the dealer, and got a call as soon as one came in. I drove the car and was impressed with the handling and the fit and finish - But, I was stunned that for the price I had to reach behind me to reach the cup holder, and that there was no auxiliary input for the stereo - The salesman tried to convince me that the cup holders were missing due to the fact that this was a European car and it seems Europeans don't go to the drive-thru Starbucks - Anyway, I went away feeling like I didn't want a car that was produced with so little care for the preferences of the driver - And, the lack of the flexible panels convinced me to look elsewhere.
What this company needs to do is improve its customer service! I have had Sprint for almost two years - as soon as my contract expires I'll be jumping ship. I like the good call quality and fast and cheap evdo mobile web, but I cringe every time I have to talk to their customer service. From thirty plus minute hold times to getting customer service people I have a hard time communicating with, to being told a different story by several different Sprint employees. My main gripe is this; when I bought my current phone (moto Q) I was told it had GPS built in...I had not read this, but was excited to discover that Sprint Navigation was among the options I could select...As you may have guessed, no navigation through Sprint at all, I had to buy a BT GPS and get service through Telenav (excellent service though)...But, the experience left me hungry for a phone with built in GPS. When the new Centro came out, I checked on line and several reviews said it had built in GPS, then I checked the Sprint web site and sure enough I could purchase the phone and add Sprint Navigation as an option! I was a little nervous though, considering what happened the last time, so I went to a Sprint store to discover the truth for myself - NO NAVIGATION!!! It left me wondering if it is a scam they pull or if they just really have no clue; I have come to believe the latter is true. Long story short, they may count on losing my business!
This would be great - The functionality of a Windows phone with the eye candy of an iPhone - I could get on board with that!
I took a look at the Vizio and thought it looked pretty good 26" for $449 but then I saw the Element 26" at Circuit City for $399 last week and bought that - No regrets so far! have it hooked up to my media center pc via HDMI and it looks terrific even at 1080i resolution - Sure, it's not a Samsung or LG, or even a Sony, but it's a great TV for less than half the price - Plus QAM looks and works just great.
Um, have these people seen Spiderman 3? Not really worth the cost of an HD or Blu Ray Disk -
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
