[Stewie Griffin] You suck! [/SG]

So, how are you using an iPhone in Soviet Canuckistan, where they’re not on sale yet? :dubious:  
[/QUOTE]

I bought one from a retail store that sells the grey-market software-unlocked units.

[QUOTE=singular1]  
Do you have tools on your browser? If I go to “internet options” then “accessability” on mine and click on “ignore colors specified on Web pages”, the spoiler boxes are always visible. I run my Explorer like that at work so I’m not looking at bright pink and green web sites when I’m supposed to be working. (Not every site is as discreet as the Dope) Nobody can figure out why my intranet pages look different from theirs, and I just shrug and say “I dunno, some computer thing…”.

My settings aren’t that deep. Mine is just a cell phone, not a PDA, although the browser works exceptionally well, much better than AT&T’s WAP browser. And for what mine does, (video, MP3, web-browsing, still camera, video camera, calculator, calendar, etc.) for the price (about $70), I feel I got better value than if I had an iPhone.

There’s that ‘value’ proposition again. 😛 [cue Apple vs. whatever trollfest in 5…4…3…]
