You know all self-respecting geeks carry HTC's, right ? They're kind of like iPhones, except they do more and cost less. 2 weeks ago after checking into my return flight from Sau Paulo I realized my phone was still in the cab. Check out this horrendous ordeal I went through with T-Mobile to get a new HTC device: I arrive into O'Hare at something like 5:30, get on a 7:30 flight back to DC. I arrive in DC at something like 11:30, race home for a very quick shower and change, then back down to the New York Ave office for a meeting. I leave there, hit the T-mobile store in the Columbia Mall around 3:30. I buy the latest HTC handset, which costs less than the iPhone. The rep suggests that I could drop the price on my plan and get unlimited usage with a new plan, he's right, I concur to the cheaper plan. In 5 minutes my phone is up and working, and I call the office. All in all I the total duration of when I would have normally been available by phone but wasn't (due to the loss) was only about 2 hours. I love the Windows Mobile 6. With the security pack, I can now use MMS for work (whereas you just get IMAP) which lets me do things like query the GAL for contacts I don't have locally. I haven't directly compared Apple's implementation of OodleMaps, but I suspect the LiveSearch Microsoft supplied on WM6 does more Hey man, that’s what happens when you try to use fashion accroutrements as phones. You know all self-respecting geeks carry HTC’s, right ? They’re kind of like iPhones, except they do more and cost less.

Man, that sucks. despite Becca showing up with an iPhone in her purse, it sounds like Caleb probably got the chance to torture you plenty given that his phone was activated 3 days before yours.
