I realized I missed some of your points, so an additional post.
Yes, I have been in the smartphone industry since before the phone was built in, I worked with many of the earlier Windows CE devices and I find WinMo to be actually quite good. My previous phone was a WinMo flip phone that I cannot recall the name of, and it worked pretty well, with some odd quirks occasionally that I think were hardware related.
All of the other blackberries have keyboards, the iPhone does not. The touchscreen works the same way as the iPhone's, but with a minor difference.
iPhone: hover over selection, press to select Storm: touch screen for selection, click to select
They are very much alike, and yes, I have used both. The great thing about the BB is that the system is open, I can load software from many sources on the web without concern about the software not being blessed by Apple. Why is it that there are like 400 fart applications in the iPhone store, but we can't get Firefox because it duplicates functionality?
ps, I hate the capitalization in iPhone, it looks totally moronic...
As far as karma, it seems to be working, I haven't been modded down since adding that sig, but then I will probably end up with -5 troll for this post.
It has been said in prior articles on this topic. As I am a good slashdotter, I did not read the article, just got frustrated with the numerous people spouting off about who owns passwords. Here is a good link that goes over it in much detail, found using google search words "terry childs password policy" http://www.bluoz.com/blog/index.php?/archives/743-Terry-Childs-gets-most-charges-dropped.html
This is especially true when there is a policy that the passwords are not to be given to those specific people. The City's policy is that the Mayor is the only one he can give the passwords to. He did this as soon as the Mayor took time from his busy campaigning to gain the passwords. Stupid policy, but that isn't Childs' fault as he didn't write the policy, only followed it.
so you would rather that he broke the policy that was given to him with regard to passwords and let unauthorized people have access? The city policy only allowed him to give passwords to the Mayor, which he did as soon as he was allowed to. If you are fired, and some random people ask you to give up the password, would you? If you say yes, then you will end up at the wrong end of a lawsuit, as that would make you criminally culpable in whatever havoc those people caused on the network.
Unless maybe the policy written by the city (not company...) was that he was to deliver the passwords to no one short of the Mayor, which he did at the earliest offered time. Perhaps before trying to lay blame you should first actually read the information on the case? He followed policy and was jailed for it. In fact, on top of that, when he was asked to break company policy, it was in front of a speakerphone with unknown parties. I would myself even request that the speakerphone be disconnected as it is my duty to safeguard those passwords and I would not leave myself open for a lawsuit over the improper release of passwords.

I think this might just show on a airport metal detector, but I could be wrong.
I think you are confusing organic food with the true meaning of organic, comes from life. Oil is organic as it is fossilized remains of things that lived many years ago. Last I checked Uranium is not organic. Think organic chemistry, not organic hippies.
I believe they were meaning that the bigger of the two you can see was found to be a binary, not that the two you see were found. So in other words, Mizar A and B in the 1700s, Alcor was discovered much earlier as it is easy to see that it is there.
Why does my phone plan cost exactly the same on the 25th month as the 24th, or even the 1st? And why does it cost the same and sign me up for 2 more years if I activate a phone I received second hand?
If the phone is subsidized by the plan, why am I not paying less when the subsidy is done?

Yes, it was approximately the size of a UAV.

Yes, then went out and bought one that was much better. I use it daily, and receive somewhere around 300 emails a day on it.
I can't say I have had any issues with my BB that weren't related to problems with the actual email servers it was connecting to.
Maybe someone should email the AT&T and Verizon execs a Definition of unlimited according to Webster:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Unlimited
Main Entry: unlimited
Pronunciation: \-li-m-td\
Function: adjective
Date: 15th century
1 : lacking any controls : unrestricted
2 : boundless, infinite
3 : not bounded by exceptions : undefined
— unlimitedly adverb
Just adding that * of the sibling post doesn't change the definition of unlimited, and it is false advertising even with the *
He's running the web server off his iPhone, the network got a test 2 days early.
I love my Verizon Storm. Maybe people should stop thinking the iPhone is god and realize that they were quite late to the game with an ok offering.
Thanks, I needed the chuckle.

I read that as urinary, was wondering why spell it that way when the regular way is shorter.
Not a bad idea, or just wear it under your belt, then you could most likely make it through a metal detector with it on.

"Its kinda like that whole thing with water being spun really fast"
Huh? Do you have a link to describe what you are trying to say?
Yes. What doesn't cause cancer in those rats?
Maybe this will lead t the zombie apocalypse! BRAINSSSS!
Small tab = tablet?
I do upload when I bittorrent, but that is a very rare thing. I also have a pretty good upspeed at 5 Mbit, so I can do that, but not everyone can.
In this case, I would ask:
Why does my phone plan cost exactly the same on the 25th month as the 24th, or even the 1st? And why does it cost the same and sign me up for 2 more years if I activate a phone I received second hand?
If the phone is subsidized by the plan, why am I not paying less when the subsidy is done?
Yes, for some reason they can and do quite often.
