Re: [CGUYS] It's monotheist versus pagan (It's a Windows Mobile killer)
What a vote of confidence, to welcome the arrival of the Droid Verizon is doubling the penalty for early termination. With a whole new line of smart phones coming onto the market, Verizon Wireless said that starting November 15 it is doubling to $350 the penalty fees for subscribers who leave their contracts early. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/04/AR2009110404720.html?hpid=sec-tech Once the Droid grabs you it won't let you go!

Re: [CGUYS] Quality control?
A little while ago I got a pair of wranglers at walmart for work...one of the guys saw them and said walmart? I said how did you know? He said the outside seam along the leg wasn't straight. The jeans lasted as long as any other pair so I cared not, but it is interesting.

Re: [CGUYS] It's monotheist versus pagan (It's a Windows Mobile killer)
Is there solid word they will get a apple device? With android making inroads, do they need one? VZ is also getting another droid phone, the eris, this phone got better reviews overall than the moto droid. Sprint has three or four android phones out now, one of them has 8 megabytes of built in memory, haven't seen if you can utilize it all for apps or not. AFter seeing the offerings of android, I don't see much missing between the two choices.

Re: [CGUYS] It's monotheist versus pagan (It's a Windows Mobile killer)
It is because they are subsidizing more cost of the phone. Try breaking a contract with ATT on your new Iphone and see how much they will charge you.

Re: [CGUYS] Quality control?
Again urban legend. I can buy the same part at the local hardware store, Home Depot or Lowes. Same packaging same number. No difference. That was your plumber trying to justify charging you a higher price. Stewart At 05:12 PM 11/5/2009, you wrote: Or quality subversion? It is not the brand it is how its made.
