Of course this wouldn't be a problem if America was run as China is - complete state control with little or no care for what the citizens think.
err...
Replace state with corporate, and erm. . .

I needed to take notes when on the train, read Ebooks(seperate CF card) and keep a diary/calender/contacts list. I have a really bad memory (Not pot related) and on the bad days, need to check my diary every 5 mins. If I didn't take a note within 5 mins of being asked/told something, I would have absolutely no clue it happened.
9 day battery like with steroidal NiMH rechargaebles on my useage is good enough for me, as I can recharge every four days at worst, and AA's aren't hard to come by.
The series 7 appears to be a vast improvement on the 5, but I could'nt justify the extra expense.
The complaint about the Keyboard needs addressing - want a useable keyboard? need a bigger device - foldouts suck the rubber donkey. I type with 4-9 fingers and can get 45WPM - good enough. With a fulsize keyboard I get 75+, but I do the opposite of touchtyping - I can't keep my eyes off the keyboard.
The 5mx in short was good enough and dirt cheap - £100 refurbished, and the screen cable doesn't bother me - I can solder hair fine, which I'm really proud of. If I can just remember where I put the soldering iron...

The right to free speech comes with responsability - ie take responsability for what you have just said, not run and hide behind the constitution in your name calling match
Only 4 patents since 2001? These guys have got to get with it - everyone knows you're not a successful business with less than 1000 patents per year!/sarcasm

Are you telling me my shitty £40 nokia can pick up hundreds of cell towers from 30,000feet?
I do not believe this, flat out.

Ahem.
Great, an article that has NOTHING to do with M$, and someone has to go and spoil it - what have they ever done to you?
Hang on, ah yes.

Objection - shooting yourself in the face accidentally is proven to be worse than warm beer
and yet noone mentions the source of the plastic is fossil fuels, more bad..
read "Toxic sludge is good for you - lies, damn lies and the PR industry" Scary, and it all seems to be true
the only safe way is straight from microsoft
Did you just say that?
