I don't have a problem with the flat buttons on the RAZR, but I do think in general it's a piece of crap. Luckily, taping the battery down does seem to have worked.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
From what I know of the Pearl, they are generally well-liked (totally just typed licked) and are pretty good value and use for their size and money. If I was in the market I'd probably get a pearl, if I didn't want to go on a plan with a sidekick, which I still think are awesome. But then, I wouldn't be using it for work, more my own pleasure and stuff related to my graduate (!!) work.

I need to strengthen my programming skills. And by "strengthen" I mean "completely start over", because I have forgotten the small amount I had learned a few years ago. Does anyone have suggestions for good, easy-to-understand, explains things simply and clearly books on C#?

fwiw, I love my Razr also. I have a black one from Cingular. The dark blue ones apparently were notoriously unreliable.

Hey. New board.
I love my Treo, because I love Palm software. I'm on my fourth Treo, but that's because I keep dropping them, not because of any specific problems. Sidekicks are pretty neat, too, and the Blackberry Pearl is the prettiest smartphone ever, barring the still-vaporware-iPhone perhaps. Plus, the blackberry OS is pretty kick-ass. I'd get a pearl if I wasn't addicted to 1) vindigo and 2) the official Palm scrabble program. Plus, I'm not sure how many smartphones have full-fledged NES emulators for me to play FF1, FF2, FF3, and other classic NES RPGs on.

Oh, I should get this! I'm starting to get bored of Sudoku.

Hey. New board.
If you're decent, it's basically impossible to lose to the AI, even on expert, which is my only quibble. But it's fun anyway, and includes a really good interface, not to mention the full scrabble dictionary with definitions! I actually use it almost as much as a dictionary as a game, though the scrabble dictionary is a little funny. (For example, if there's a noun meaning for a word, no matter how rare, it will give it instead of the adjective/adverb/whatever, so that you know it can be pluralized legally.)
I'm thinking about buying Trivial Pursuit next, but I want to read some reviews on their question database. And also find out if its extensible, like the real game, because that would be awesome.
