Speaking of the current drop in phone prices (Palm & Droid), Amazon has the Nokia N900 for $479.99 after a $50.00 rebate. That's down from yesterday's price of $509 (with the same rebate).
I like the idea of light based feedback from an automated system. At first I thought DVR meant Digital Video Recorder - which would have made me a less safe driver. When I was first learning to drive, if someone was supervising me I'd stiffen up if I made a mistake, then think about it, getting distracted from driving. On my own, I'd make a mistake once in a while, but learn from it, and keep going competently. #cars
I think the problem with bad drivers is that the majority of them don't think of themselves as bad drivers, or they just "occasionally" do a "few" "risky" decisions/actions while driving.
Plus, having your parents as monitors doesn't work so well because A) they over react to the smallest things because it's been so long since they've been in the passenger seat and aren't sure how to deal/are uncomfortable with this new loss of control AND/OR B) the teenager has already learned how to tune out what their parent(s) are telling them and may have created their own idea of how to drive based on what they've seen on TV and in films
I've dealt with these "bitching Betty" devices in ambulances and fire trucks. What a pain in the butt - they'd sometimes flag you for a "red" if you hit a pothole and if you got three "reds" in a month, you had to go talk to the chief.
Swerve to miss the pothole? Beeeeep! That's a yellow! Break hard to slow down before hitting it? BEEEEEEEEEP! A red!!
@four12: Not to mention if some idiot cuts you off and you have to slam on the brakes, grandma decides to stop for a red light when she's in the intersection, or dipshit in the Accord wearing baggy pants and a sideways baseball hat runs through the red light in front of you. #cars
given how you lambasted them already, a bad review might seem spiteful, while a good review might give RIM more credit than you intend.
that's why i didn't agree with your article about how RIM screwed gizmodo, regardless of whether it's true or not. I'm sure you guys must've contacted them asking for an explanation, but now I can't get it out of my head (nor others) that you may have a bone to pick with RIM.
Editorials and opinion pieces give publications character, but when the editing staff unites against one company/cause/party, intentions and motives are questioned.
It's the same reason why Fox News or MSNBC lost credibility.
please review, if only to see the rants. funny though, could of sworn i rember u saying f*ck them and their phone/company and that they think we're motherf*ckers. hey, if that's what it took for you to get their attention, more power to u. #storm2
@macpatrik: Explain how they fucked us. No really, please explain it.
Shitty and poorly designed hardware? Get your fucking head out of the gutter, their hardware turns heads, my Bold made people go whoa whoa against the bloody simplistic iPhone. Hardware design they have in spades.
And you mention a buggy and patched OS but you fail to realize RIM never intended on the phones being a HIT outside the business sector, this thing isn't built to do games, it isn't built to browse, what it is built to do is ram emails and texts up your ass till the cows come home, thats what the OS is for.
Is this coming from a person, who has never used a BB product, or just some moron who needs to jump on the "OMG RIM DISSED GIZMODO ROFL rOFL OMG OMG SHIEET"
I am upset that RIM didn't give a unit go Giz right away, whatever their reasons its available for review now, so really, take your ass kissing back to your basement and shut the fuck up.
@aniteshj: And I have at least 5 friends that have the Storm and absolutely love it. This is all just a pissing contest and opinion isn't fact. I have a Curve and I love it because it does what I need it to when I need it to even though it might not be right for someone else. Cell phones are just like cars, if you buy the wrong one you're not gonna like it and some people have had bad luck with certain models, that's just how the cookie crumbles. There, sorry to be such a wet blanket, but I get so tired of these "this brand is better than that brand" b.s. sometimes. Jeesh, now I'm going to bed, heh. #storm2
