    In reply to New Palm Prices: Pixi at $25 and Pre at $80
    Wow, that makes the Pre nearly $1000 dollars cheaper than the iPhone 3GS for an individual, even more savings if you have a family plan.

    $30(per month savings)*24(months)+$220(savings on phone)=$940.

    In my mind there is nothing the iPhone can do that justifies an extra $1000 over the Pre.

    Of course both Sprint's and AT&T's coverage suck in Chicago (especially AT&T's) so I'm on Verizon.

    @elementary: I dunno about that. Everyone I know who got a Pre when they first came out really, really regrets doing it, and everyone I know who has an iPhone (including myself) is so happy with it that they come off as shameless douches whenever they tell someone about it.

    Lest we forget, the 8GB iPhone 3G is $99. And still a better phone than the Pre.

    See, I kinda sound like a douche right now. I must be a totally satisfied iPhone customer!

    @lolbrbnvm:

    I'm betting the only reason your friends regret it is the fact they don't have nearly as many apps. As for the iPhone, if you like getting gouged on monthly rates, I suppose anyone can be happy.

    @Fractal the Meek: Sprint doesn't work in my condo, but seems to do fine elsewhere. Obviously that still makes it a no-go for me. Sucks, I'd be back with Sprint in a second otherwise.

    AT&T on the other hand works fine in my condo, but elsewhere in the city, not so much.

    As much as I hate Verizon, I've never been without coverage in the city.

    How long do I need to wait until they pay me to take one out of their inventory? A couple weeks? Well, some company had to be the basement of the smart phone business, it is just sad that Palm had to take that role.

    @weatherman: My guess is he was talking about the Pre, not the Pixi, ignoring its existence entirely. Kinda like how you treated the "special" class in high school when they joined you for lunch. I mean, I'm sure it's a wonderful phone, and it's not the Pixi's fault it was born without WiFi and is, if we're being candid, a little slow. Still...I mean, do you have to buy it? I'm sure the Pixi will be fine if you ignore it. I mean...it probably won't even understand that you're avoiding it.

    nothing new. Star Trek (the original) used a modified pencil case for the communicators shell and off the shelf vases and the like for alien glassware. And Aliens used what was basically a modified Tommy Gun with plastic shells over the parts for the pulse rifles.

    I had such high hopes for this show. All in all it isn't a terrible show, but it did not turn out to be the "Get me to a tv NOW!" show I was hoping for.

    @Software_Goddess:


    I thought the first season was significantly better than the newer episodes. It ended up being too much emotional character stuff and not enough running away from evil robots.


    Luckily they've thrown Dollhouse in the timeslot right after it and that's shaping up to be the real winner I was hoping Terminator would be.

    @chefgon: I feel just the opposite. The 1st season was repetetive "new robot shows up, run, get cornedred, destroy robot", whereas nwo they're explorign diverse story arcs.

    LOL. I watch this show, and I must say that I have noticed the financial set backs all around. From the sets to the amount of action and CG effects in each episode. It's a shame, yet it's amusing at the same time to see what they will do to save money.

    in college we had 2 CRT TV's stacked on top of each other (living in a quad as a freshman sucked) and had 2 different things going simultaneously (HALO, cable tv, movie, etc)


    bad idea...
