I don't think resistive is a joke. It's a matter of preference. Some other factors come in to play as well..

Take Nokia's for example. A lot of people in Scandinavia wear gloves, where a capacitive touch screen just wouldn't work. It would work, but it would go something like this:

Take gloves off.
Type text message.
Put gloves on.
Repeat.

I'd call it..

Tripod.

Something about the lamp in pic 2 doesn't look right..

Fortunately, the "with Google" on the back of the phone pretty much prevents Verizon from putting any of their junk on the device.

@ High : We aren't discussing XBL vs PSN?

Nobody said putting a disc in was better than not putting a disc in. What myself and Raptor are getting at is this:

The act of putting a disc in isn't that big of a deal. It is done all the time whenever you want to play anything from optical media. Raptor's point is that on top of paying for a console, broadband connection, and Netflix subscription, in order to do Netflix on an Xbox, the live membership carries a fee too.

What's so bad about putting a disc in to stream?

Last I checked, in order to play a game, dvd, or bluray, I had to get up, walk over to the PS3, and insert the disc?

So the joke is on you xbox fanboi..

Ike you would say some shit like that..

@ David Vogt

If you don't mind jailbreaking, Backgrounder + Kirikae makes for a compelling combo.

This is a real shame. I was dead set on leaving AT&T / the iDevice to join the Droid's, but an ETF of $350? Now I'm not so sure. Really Verizon?

C'monnnn! (Say it like the guy in the PS3 ad)

So from what everyone is saying.. the guy kinda sounds like a douche.
