But their vault is thru S3 and it would cost me $99/month for less data than if I went directly thru S3. An external drive with that much storage costs under $150 and affords a much better data transfer rate. I have been doing this for many years, rotating three drives between office and

Interestingly, the SAR rating on the iphone 3G iphones is half again as high putting it near the top of the SAR chart. The older models' SAR isn't real whoopy either. Does the SAR rating directly relate to a phone's reception capability? db Christopher Range wrote: Tom Piwowar wrote: No
