No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And then one of those 3-D printers to make copies of the object. You'd never have to wait for parts to be delivered again. *glaring at my dripping fridge*

So! iPhone, Droid, or BlackBerry? FCM

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Our wings are not tired.

I HATED my HTC Touch or whatever it was called. I hope they've improved with the Evo.

This of course is my sneaky way of deciding which one to buy, as I've finally concluded that I need one.

Are you going to buy the one you'd F? or M?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you have a carrier preference?

tommy, M. I'm in it for the long term.

ita, I hate AT&T and TMobile, and have little love for Sprint, either. Verizon is on the top of my list mainly because I've never used them before, so they haven't had an opportunity to screw me over. I expect I'll get screwed somehow by any of them, so, no. As long as their coverage is good in my areas of Virginia, I don't care. I'm more concerned with getting a reliable smartphone that does what I want and has a relatively flat learning curve.

Hey. New board.

I have and am generally enamored with my iPhone, despite objecting to it and Apple's general behavior regarding it on various ethical grounds. Were I buying right now, I'd probably get one of the Android phones - either the Droid or possible the actual Google-branded phone (I misremember its actual name) that apparently nobody bought - but I would recommend the iPhone to anybody without my personal ethical objections and interest in futzing around with open software. It's the leader of the pack for good reason.
