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."?
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

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 Yeah, I know Palm OS is still out of date, but it serves all my needs to this day.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.

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 ;)
