Somebody get Verizon Wireless a dictionary

Sombody get Verizon Wireless a dictionary

It looks as though Verizon Wireless have gone the way of its parent company, Verizon, by taking their customers for a ride. Their “Unlimited” EVDO service does have a limit after all, as a user found out much to his own chagrin. That slighted customer was kicked off the network by VW after he apparently breached his “Unlimited” cap. Although limited bandwidth and bandwidth hogs could cause problems, VW should make sure their house is in order before offering "limited" services to the consumers.

Rumor: is this the Sidekick 3?

We have received images of what might be the Sidekick 3 from several tipsters. As with any good rumor, the pictures are grainy and somewhat blurry. According to an anonymous AIM tipster, the picture has caused reactions and was banned from some forums.

In Rumorland the math works like this: Leaked photo + ban = truth.

UTStarcom G1260 Ultra Slim Phone

UTStarcom G1260 Ultra Slim Phone

With a thickness of only 10mm for a weight of 60g, this 106x44x10mm phone is really on a diet. And of course the designers had to drop something: no digital camera or Mp3 functions and a relatively short battery life: 120-210mn of talk time only.
