Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I'm back thinking about my phone

Does there seem to be much difference between these two phones, except for the price?

T- mobile wing [link]

T-mobile dash [link]

Also, the site says that the Blackberry Curve, which I like how it looks has web browsing, but when I do a comparison with these phones, it seems like it can't browse the web through t-mobile. I am confused.

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

Worst hard drive crash I've seen...

Post Mortem look at the drive's innards. Damn, that's a shitload of metal shavings....

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

Have you used the "Redeem" link, Vortex?

I'm contemplating getting my first cell phone. I'm not a big phone person, I only want one so I can contact Hubby at home when I'm at the grocery story or something or he can reach me (I have no work phone).

I'm leaning towards a bare bones thing, Hubby is thinking it's a good opportunity to get a digital camera as well. He's also thinking I could get a phone that would let me read the kind of text files I continually read on my Palm. Is there a phone that acts like a Palm for text files, or am I headed to Blackberry land on that?

connie, the Treos are Palm phones. I actually got my first Treo because I was tired of carrying around my Palm Tungsten C and my cell phone. Although it has its critics, I've found the Treo has been excellent at combining the phone and pda functions that I normally use plus a lot more stuff that I don't use so much. In other words, why not dump the Palm completely and just get a Treo?

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

Blackberry's totally not where I'd go for text files. Palms, Windows CE, and Symbian phones will let you read text files, and Word and Acrobat to a degree.

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

I've heard good things about the Palm Centro, which is like a Treo but cheaper and supposedly works better.
