It is much harder in the USA to just get a sim-card and go. T-mobile do offer it though. It was funny when the salesperson tried to sell me a phone tooand I pulled out my Galaxy S (which was unavailable there at that time) and said I was covered. It was better than any phone in the store so that upsell attempt was quickly over.
They are cheaper than the aeron and the flexible back is quite nice. I'm quite tall and I always found the frame around the back of the Aeron to be just a bit too small and uncomfortable.
True. However, you can usually do it the other way around (Play US discs in London) since most DVD players available in the UK aren't region restricted. Except, of course, the one my flatmate purchased - I had to use the PS2 and the RegionX software.
For the record, Security First used to be owned by S1, but is now owned by the Royal Bank of Canada. (I used to work for secureWare, who spun off sfnb and five paces software, who brought secureware back in and created S1 out of all of them and...you know how internet companies go)
With that being said, I've used sfnb since I worked there and absolutely love it! Unlike traditional banks with an internet branch, sfnb is ready and quite capable in dealing with issues that the remote bank patron has. Envelopes to mail your checks in have the postage paid, almost everything can be done through the web site (except change of address...kinda annoying) and the support staff (email and telephone) is both informed and speedy. Another thing I really like is that sfnb has never blamed any problem I've had on the fact that I'm running linux. They are truly platform neutral and you can access their stuff on any SSL-enabled, standards compliant browser.
You can choose to get your statements mailed to you or just view them online (my preferred method). SFNB actually had to get some banking regulations changed to allow them to _NOT_ mail you a statement every month.
Take it for what you want, I am a former employee so I may be partial to them...but I really haven't found anyone else who is really taking advantage of all the things a bank on the internet can offer like sfnb is.

You might confuse them but they'll figure it out.
I would love to be able to copy all of my photos and videos off of my smartphone in only 90 seconds!

Now, if they only had a WAP interface...
