I can't imagine what I would say in a similar situation, Sox. "I'm sorry you're offended by common terminology."? "I would change it but unfortunately that's what they're called."? "Get used to it."?
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It's been muggy and rainy here in NYC, and my Treo is on the fritz again. (It's a little rheumatic - every time it rains, it continually tries to sync whether it's connected to the computer or not, and winds up running down the battery in less than a day.)
Right now the iPhone and the G1 are looking like my best options for an upgrade, except the iPhone doesn't have a real keyboard, copy-paste, or picture messaging, and the G1 is likely to be even buggier than my Treo since it's 1st-generation EVERYTHING.
(And I know picture messaging seems like a minor thing, but DH and I use it *all* the time to send each other pics of Dylan. Attaching a pic to an email isn't nearly as convenient.)
Do Blackberries have casual games available? I'd probably go nuts if I couldn't play Freecell or Sudoku during my commute.

Hey. New board.
No interest in the Centro, Jessica? I've been happy with mine, as a Treo-lover. Yeah, I know Palm OS is still out of date, but it serves all my needs to this day.

Is the Centro a GSM phone? I really see no reason to buy another CDMA phone if I can help it - I want something I can swap a local SIM card into and use overseas when I travel.

Needing some retail therapy, I bought a 3G iPhone today.

I found out today that I'm off-contract with Verizon, so I may do the same tomorrow.
Not that I have the money, but I'm really starting to loathe my Treo.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Sean, you should tell Mark J that, see if we can finally convert him over to AT&T. He's been drooling over the iPhone for awhile, maybe he'll buy your 1st gen off you, if you haven't dropped it too many times ;)
