It goes into 2010 and I found a link where they want to extend it into 2011.

I played with the storm in the store. Didn't like it. I have the Alias 2. You want to talk about slow!!!

if the iPhone does go to Verizon, expect them to cripple it like they do to all the other phones, and want THEIR user interface on it crippling it even more. Then come the fees to use everything on it.

While I like what the iPhone can do, I like having a flip phone so I won't be in line for one... at least right away. If I really need the non-phone features, there is always the iTouch.

Apple would never allow that.

My reasonging behind wanting the iPhone is the abality to throw my iPod classic in the trash. It would just be one les thing I have to carry around. I hate having things in my pockets.

I agree, if it ever makes it over to Verizon. It will be the same as it is now, just on the Verizon network. Apple just would never let it become "Verizonized"

I hope you're right. Moto, LG, Sammie, Nokia, etc. all give in. I hope Apple stands strong on what their phone should be able to do, and all the other companies do the same in the future.

Does Blackberry have their own interface or is it a Verizon version?

That came in a viral email today saying that if you look like this, not to come into work.

With Aaron's flashing Beatles avatar giving me seizures, I was tempted to put my 4 eyed lady back up as revenge!

I love mine.

If it were possible to have it surgically attached to my body, I'd totally do it.

Funny, I got the same e-mail I wonder how many people between the two of us?? I got it about a week ago.

Even funnier is can't get my e-mail here at work. So when I saw that picture on my BB I tried to find it in google to use it as my avatar too.

I got it from someone on the Franklin/Medway line, then I sent it off to Ashland. The headers were deleted, which I like when people do that, so who knows where else it was before me.
