Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 hands-on, sorta {Engadget}
Jun 26th 2008 9:35AM Agree. I was intrigued by this when the first shots were leaked, but uh, not really anymore. It looks.... old.
Alltel tried to buy Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T as a public company {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 24th 2008 8:54PM I always wondered why Alltel didn't just up and buy Sprint. I guess now I know. Alltel should give it one last try... Sprint is so screwed that it just might happen this time.
Fan Rant: Celebrities and "Shyness" {Cinematical}
Jun 8th 2008 8:23PM I think you're way off base here, but I understand why. If you're not shy, it's tough to understand how someone can feel gregarious and comfortable in one situation and shy and uncomfortable in another. They should feel one way all the time, right?
Well, no. I have no trouble believing that Harrison Ford is actually and genuinely shy, even though he's so smooth and natural on screen. You know why he's so good on screen? Because he's a good actor and he's getting paid to act. Acting is his job, and it's a professional environment. He's comfortable in this environment because acting is what he does and he knows how to do it.
Outside of his professional life, he may not be so comfortable. Life is spontaneous - it's not scripted - and not everyone handles that the same way. Some people don't know how to act, or don't feel comfortable around people they don't know, or whatever the case may be, so instead of putting themselves into social situations where they would feel awkward and uncomfortable, they choose to lead a quiet life surrounded by people they are comfortable with.
Ultimately, though, I wonder: why do you care that this guy is modest and shy? How do you know what is really true and what isn't for this guy? Newsflash: you don't. People are different. People enjoy different things, like different foods, and don't understand how others can be any different. This is the case here, with you. This guy is different than you and and you don't "get" him. I'm different than you and I don't "get" you. The difference is that I accept that we're different.
Verizon gets official with $28 billion Alltel acquisition {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 5th 2008 12:22PM Those alltel commercials you see in Maryland are usually attached to DC-area sports (Terps, etc) because alltel sells service in VA.
New Sprint Mogul beta moves to Windows Mobile 6.1 {Engadget Mobile}
May 15th 2008 6:53PM Wrong. Cooked roms are the result of many, many hours of work by dedicated chefs at ppcgeeks and xda-devs. The roms are constantly upgraded and revised based on the feedback of the community; this process results in the fastest, most stable, and most up-to-date windows mobile roms you will find.
The "official" roms are the crude starting materials: the custom roms are the polished final product. Can't wait to try out a custon rom based on this new update.

Verizon XV6900 finally available for order {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 17th 2008 4:12PM I do a lot of driving in and around Baltimore (and sometimes down to DC) and it's all covered by EV-DO. I have Sprint, but I know Verizon has the same 3G footprint, and is even better penetrating into some buildings I frequent. Plus, if you travel up 83 into south central PA, Verizon has 3G and Sprint doesn't.
AT&T 3G basically is confined to the I-95 corridor between DC and Baltimore, so as soon as you leave that area, boom! Right back to EDGE.
I say get the 6900, throw a custom rom on it, get Opera Mobile or Skyfire, and be happy. I've customized my Mogul to the point where it caters to all of my needs in ways the iPhone couldn't.
