I read some reviews when it was released, and ran the RC for a few months until it expired. It was okay I guess, you're right that the progress bars were better, and I do miss some (*some*) of the folder navigation features, but those aren't $100 worth of features. Your other 2 items, 1 and 3, are essentially the…

I don't understand how this even counts as an extended battery. It's only 13% higher capacity than the original.

Like what? I've never seen a feature in 7 that makes me long to upgrade any of my computers.

As long as it doesn't do something stupid like try to post to Facebook, I'd use it.

How was I shitting on it? I pretty much said exactly what you did, it looks nice but it's not very practical. Don't be so touchy.

I would probably live there, but I don't particularly want to. There's no garage or workshop space, and the fireplace is gas. What's the point of a gas fireplace? If I wanted heat without the fuss of wood I'd turn on the damn heater.

I must strongly disagree with number 1. It should be clear at this point that there are a lot of people who aren't all that interested in driving. Regardless of whether you're among them, why isn't it a good thing to not make them do something that they don't want to, especially if it makes things safer for…

I agree, unfortunately pretty much on all points except t-mobile. I like my Android phone, but the fact that I had to root it (and in the process make my GPS semi-non-functional) just to make it work well and get rid of the mountain of shit Verizon pushed onto it is just absurd.

Thank you. I was alarmed to find no mention of the price anywhere in the post.

That's not how I understand co-pays to work. An in-network provider agrees to take the allowed amount + the specified co-pay (which is based on the type/location of service, but is a fixed amount).

You know I try to avoid eating for a few hours before a run so I don't see my snack again towards the end of my run.

The hell is a nail steadier, and why couldn't he/they come up with something more useful as a fourth item?

Why do Youtube videos not embed properly into articles on Gawker sites any more? The controls are always cut off. I'd like to be able to use the volume control at least.

@metronome49: Then she probably won't miss the new features or even know that there are other versions of android out there, let alone buy the phone on the promise that it'll be upgraded soon.

I'll never use a non-LED flashlight again if I can help it.

In this post: an artist demonstrates why "art" is ridiculous and difficult to take seriously.

@saintlouisguy: What does it do that's so fantastic? I just installed it, but it just seems to be feature bloat central.

@Bender123- Altoids are good for more than fresh breath: That's the question everyone's asking. I haven't heard an answer I'm happy with yet, but the best so far is that companies feel the only way to distinguish their devices from competitors is to customize the UI. I'm not saying it's a great plan or that I agree,…

Seems like a terrible idea. In my experience the "elite" players are the biggest jerks in most MMOs.

@Product F(RED): 2 major GSM carriers who use only some of the same frequencies, so taking a phone made for one carrier to the other may or may not work for you. And you can't port a CDMA phone anywhere without a few difficult/maybe illegal steps.
