Pretty. With an i5-460M it definitely won't be pokey.

I assume not. But, unless a computer is actually freezing, I've never had issues with speed. It's just not important to me (which is why I have the cheapest/slowest connection you can get from AT&T).

A Bluetooth question: As far as I understand it, Bluetooth is a specific form of wireless communication between devices. My phone has Bluetooth, and it looks for devices that also have Bluetooth. If I were to get a generic Bluetooth dongle (snicker, lord, what a name) and plug it into the USB on my PC, will my phone be able to communicate with my PC?

Yes, Connie, but you should check to see if you're computer already has bluetooth built in.

As old and as Frankensteined as it is, I would be surprised, but I'll look. If a laptop has wireless capability, is it likely to have Bluetooth?

Oh, joy.
I was loving my T-Mobile MyTouch 4G, except I have apparently succumbed to a bug in Android 2.2.1: the "sync" function gets suspended, running the OS up so much that it burns through the battery in like five hours. (This is my attempt to translate the geek-speak I have found on some forums.)
The solution (absent a fix, which apparently isn't coming anytime soon) is to turn off background syncing, which means that every time I want to check my email, I have to sync everything manually. It's a minor annoyance, but it is an annoyance.

megan, congrats on the new laptop!
Consuela that sucks. Did you figure out the dead-screen during phone calls thing at least?
