Lutz: Saturn Astra too expensive, not profitable {Autoblog}
Sep 9th 2008 3:05AM I bought an Ion in 2004 and loved the car - great value and even sort of fun to drive. It had the plastic panels that take a beating in the parking lot and still look good - I really enjoyed the Saturn buying experience too, so when I first read about this car, I was reay to buy one - I put my name in at the dealer, and got a call as soon as one came in. I drove the car and was impressed with the handling and the fit and finish - But, I was stunned that for the price I had to reach behind me to reach the cup holder, and that there was no auxiliary input for the stereo - The salesman tried to convince me that the cup holders were missing due to the fact that this was a European car and it seems Europeans don't go to the drive-thru Starbucks - Anyway, I went away feeling like I didn't want a car that was produced with so little care for the preferences of the driver - And, the lack of the flexible panels convinced me to look elsewhere.
Sprint announces massive layoffs, store closings amid subscriber defection {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 18th 2008 12:02PM What this company needs to do is improve its customer service! I have had Sprint for almost two years - as soon as my contract expires I'll be jumping ship. I like the good call quality and fast and cheap evdo mobile web, but I cringe every time I have to talk to their customer service. From thirty plus minute hold times to getting customer service people I have a hard time communicating with, to being told a different story by several different Sprint employees. My main gripe is this; when I bought my current phone (moto Q) I was told it had GPS built in...I had not read this, but was excited to discover that Sprint Navigation was among the options I could select...As you may have guessed, no navigation through Sprint at all, I had to buy a BT GPS and get service through Telenav (excellent service though)...But, the experience left me hungry for a phone with built in GPS. When the new Centro came out, I checked on line and several reviews said it had built in GPS, then I checked the Sprint web site and sure enough I could purchase the phone and add Sprint Navigation as an option! I was a little nervous though, considering what happened the last time, so I went to a Sprint store to discover the truth for myself - NO NAVIGATION!!! It left me wondering if it is a scam they pull or if they just really have no clue; I have come to believe the latter is true. Long story short, they may count on losing my business!
Microsoft patent app shows off new user interface for mobiles {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 12th 2007 7:02PM This would be great - The functionality of a Windows phone with the eye candy of an iPhone - I could get on board with that!
Vizio barreling into Wal-marts everywhere {Engadget HD}
May 31st 2007 3:09AM I took a look at the Vizio and thought it looked pretty good 26" for $449 but then I saw the Element 26" at Circuit City for $399 last week and bought that - No regrets so far! have it hooked up to my media center pc via HDMI and it looks terrific even at 1080i resolution - Sure, it's not a Samsung or LG, or even a Sony, but it's a great TV for less than half the price - Plus QAM looks and works just great.
