Our wings are not tired

We have one LCD with LED backlighting and there is a difference. Mainly it is in the contrast ratio. With LED backlighting the black level on the panel is excellent. Without it even a total blackout can have a bit if a grey tinge to it.

Trust my rage

Did the 1st gen iPod Touch not have speakers? My parents gave Ellie an old one that they say has no sound (unless you plug in speakers).

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Correct. It does simple alert and alarm tones only.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh, and apparently I haven't had this phone as long as I thought - my contract isn't up for renewal until September. No new phone for me next week after all!

AT&T Moves Up iPhone Upgrade Eligibility On Eve of WWDC Keynote

AT&T seems to have adjusted user eligibility requirements forward for many customers. This means that several readers who previously were ineligible to purchase a new subsidized iPhone now find that they are eligible. Previously, dates for eligibility ranged from June to November depending on your rate plan.

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

Oooh! Thanks, Tom - looks like I'm eligible after all.

NEW PHONE! WOOT!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, I've been bumped up too. CURSE YOU, APPLE, WITH YOUR TEMPTING AND YOUR EVIL AND YOUR TEMPTING!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I thin If you get a subsidized phone, I think you have to turn in your old one. Old one could be a phoneless itouch. Not sure what the price diff is. But something to think about.
