ita, I just called AT&T on Tuesday to get my new Sony Ericsson w300i unlocked so I can use it in England--that was on Tuesday, and this morning I got an email with the code and instructions to unlock it. It was pretty straightforward for me.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This lady not so much with the straightforward. I think it's very weird that she can tell me I'll hear on the 31st. Why is this rocket science?
I can't wait until I'm free.

My CS rep said she had to send the request to a special department for it to get answered with the code. It wasn't this complicated last year, when I had my other phone unlocked before leaving for Ireland--the CS rep was able to do it for me over the phone. I guess things have changed since then.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think AT&T's purchase of Cingular has made the company a lot less customer friendly.
You are supposed to get the unlock code right away. I can't believe there is ANY waiting time.
ita, I had to call customer service to do a plan change 2 weeks ago and that was like Abbott & Costello. I asked the woman to verbally confirm the changes and she said the wrong plans. I corrected her, she emailed me a confirmation that was the wrong plans. So then I called customer service back and she had done what I asked correctly, but verbally gave me the wrong info. WTF?

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

That's way nifty looking.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've probably read this somewhere but I don't remember - what are the supposed benefits of running OS X on an iPod?

It would, in theory, make your iPod look and act more like iPhone. Basically a slicker GUI.
It would also, in theory, make it more hackable like an iPhone.
