    Bin Laden is dead, Dish settles with Tivo.... how can I complain about this Monday morning. (even if it's my first day back after a week of vacation in Vegas?)

    It's Official - iPhone on Verizon Wireless

    I'm still waiting for something more industrial to come out, but for now I'm using the iFrogz Luxe case. It has a nice, soft touch and seems to fit well. Don't really have any complaints about it, although I'm not sure how much of an impact it would absorb. Also - I got the blue & black...

    iOS 4.3 soon to be released

    With all of this talk of the so-called "iPhone Nano" it would NOT surprise me if we don't see a 4G iPhone this year (double negative alert: would surprise me if we do...). Perhaps an iPhone 4+ this summer, a global phone (CDMA/GSM) with the NFC technology, along with the "make lines around...

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    Just got the call from my wife... my pre-ordered VZW iPhone just showed up at home. (Now have to make it past the next 6 hours of work and get home to it)

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    OOOO.....KKKK.... stepping back for the fire fight; I got me shipment confirmation letter... my V iPhone is expected Monday (will likely be later). As as for "Why didn't I wait for a (potentially 4g) iPhone 5?" Two reasons come to mind: 1) If it is, in fact 4G, I won't have 4G coverage...

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    I was up early, and after taking 45 minutes to realize that I needed to log in as my wife, my verizon iPhone is on order. 45 minutes into the process this morning got me a unit number around 19,000. Wonder how long it'll take for the "limited" quantity of the pre-orders to dry up.... ...if...

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    Looks like I'll be up early on Thursday to lock in one of these VzW iPhones... I qualify and have the new every two credit that's ready to be spent... UNLESS tomorrow's Google event convinces me otherwise... (Moto Droid X/2 Gingerbread in a couple days + more tempting goodies might be enough...

    Where are my Satellite Guy's gamers at?

    It's Official - iPhone on Verizon Wireless

    I must have misunderstood how it works, I thought on the GSM version all of the data (for facetime) was sent over wifi relying on your ISP's bandwidth rather than the cell phone's bandwidth. Does facetime rely on the AT&T's voice service to handle the voice and wifi for the video? Otherwise, I...

    It's Official - iPhone on Verizon Wireless

    My couple of questions about this so far: 1) as Scott mentioned, I wonder if Facetime will work via Verizon's 3G network (rather than just wifi) 2) CDMA is limited with no voice and web at the same time; but if you have the need for such, could you skype and web at the same time?
