amazing

I'm closer to 40 than 30, but still knew all of the songs from radio surfing during the daytime driving around.... not to mention most of those songs show up in pop culture in other places, even at sporting events between faceoffs/snaps/innings/halftime, etc...

That's good to hear, and I've heard that from other's too... another reason for my anticipation for the firmware update. When I got the phone, Best Buy copied all of my contacts over from my previous phone as "phone contacts" but my Google contacts aren't as detailed or complete in alot of cases (es...

Yeah, my calendar syncs perfectly with google calendar, but my phone contacts don't (as designed). I've downloaded apps to convert phone contacts to google contacts so that they'll also sync, but they don't (apparently those apps only work for 2.0 phones, another reason I'm looking forward to the up...

If they eventually do get 2.1, like I mentioned, I bet they strip out some of the features (especially things like live wallpapers that eat CPU power). After seeing the live wallpapers on YouTube videos, etc... that's something I would probably disable anyway, just to conserve battery life and proc...

Actually, the Nexus One is made by HTC, which is almost the same as the Sprint HTC Hero, which came out early Oct. Big difference is that the Nexus will have the updated Android 2.1 operating system, which the Hero is getting sometime before July. Whoa Jon...with the misinformation. Where to start....

I hear that. I very rarely ever warm up before I play tennis, except for stretching my hamstrings. That's about it though. I played Jon Diehl a couple years ago for the first in several years and I was sore for over a week. Stretching is mandatory! Yeah, I'm just as bad when it comes to not stretch...

Are these two providers really that hard up for customers? Although I have been a good paying customer for about 9-10 years now.

It's beyond the price at this point. The price is quite reasonable, however priorities change over time. I think he's content with his PC gaming, and new game prices are still too high.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. Tape formats aren't compressed in the camera so some say the quality is better.
