3. October, 2003 - Time for a new phone?
- My brief affair with the Blackberry 7230 and how I came back home to Danger. With my hiptop being just about year old (so my one-year plan is about up), I’ve been wondering about a new phone. I’ve been thinking about it pretty hard, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m not going to just drop the cell-phone entirely. About the only time I carry it anymore (the Danger’s more weight than I want to haul around) is when I’m going to meet someone and figure I might need to call them to connect up. Other than that, it sits at home, and because I’m not going from one cell to another, T-Mobile throttles my connection down and I don’t have a data connection most of the time. There’s a lot of promise there, but T-Mobile is strangling the hiptop. [gizmodo]
- Huh. The JB1 camera looks kinda cool. It’s small enough, at least. Not very good quality, but size matters. [gizmodo]
- F.C.C. to Enforce No Call Registry. There are still some kinks to be worked out, but it sounds again like the do not call list will still happen.
- FCC Begins To Receive Complaints About Calls from people who have signed up for the do not call list.
- The Strib has an Editorial: Do not call/The right to be left in peace. Yeah, I’d be happy with a do not call list that told charities and others not to call me, too. In fact, one of the surest ways for a charity get nothing from me is to start calling me, rather than just sending stuff out in the mail. [strib]
- Despite protests, committee passes historic designation and for once, I agree with Lisa Goodman. Coalition leader opposes historic designation explores the role Lynn Swon has had in the whole issue.
