So all you guys who posted at midnight realize your posts don't count, right? Myself included, of course.
I would love this; fingers crossed!
My grammar in that point 1 line was pretty butchered. It was supposed to say, "The article says..."
I don't get this post. The headline says the G1 uses the same trackball as RIM, then in the actual article it says it's "basically identical to what RIM uses". Basically identical? Based on what, both are round? Both are trackballs? Are they the same, or are they just similar?

Before I actually submit this, I read through the passage of the article in question. It reads,

"The structures of the trackball module and the Hall IC look almost the same as used in the BlackBerry Bold of Research In Motion Ltd (RIM)," the engineer said.

Point 1 - The article doesn't says the G1 trackball *looks* *almost* the same. This does not mean "is identical".

Point 2 - The engineer says it is physically comparable to the Blackberry Bold, not RIM in general.

Before someone asks why I'm getting my panties in a wad, I don't appreciate misleading information, and many might say the trackball experience sucks sometimes on a Blackberry Pearl. So far I've had a very pleasant experience with the G1 and find it much more smooth and responsive than the Pearl. To go and blurt out that the two parts are one and the same is sloppy and poor work.
I'd love a GPS; google maps on my non-3G phone doesn't always cut it!
I'm really liking the new Zune, can't wait to try it out!
Love Windows XP!
Hey, you keep what you do in the broadroom private.
I'd so browse internet with that while I'm in class.
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!"
