I was doing laundry the other day, came down too early for the dryer transferal so I had to wait, looked at the wall with an odd amount of communications equipment, saw AT&T, T-Mobile, NEC, Nextel, UMTS and so on – and it hit me, I must have cell towers on my roof. Thoughts that … Read more
In the weeks leading up to the Windows Phone 7 launch I was excited to read that most all apps would include a “free trial”. That news tidbit has turned out to be a real disappointment, at least for me. Of the 75 apps and games I have downloaded to date, 24 have been … Read more

Having owned the AT&T Tilt, Fuze, and Tilt 2, the one thing I miss is the slide out keyboard. People like me with big hands just don’t get along well with Soft Keyboards. Now granted, the iPhone SIP is probably the best I have ever used, but it would be nice to have that option … Read more
