That video has the best music ever! And man, can that guy walk!

@FretGrinder: That's awesome. And highly unusual.

@TheAncient: Er, because it's soft? Not all metallic and conductive?

@FretGrinder: And for all the testing your company does, you never have any problems escape to the field?

@carvelo: I don't find it annoying at all, mostly because I'm trying to decide whether to get one now or hold on to my current 3G. If I keep hearing more stories about the replacement phones working correctly, I might take the plunge.

@chickdigger802: I use my iPhone 3G as a golf GPS / scorecard. Awesome app, but the rangefinder sucks battery life. I can't make it through a 4-hour round without running out. Hence my inCase battery pack/iphone cover.

$15K for improved vision doesn't seem expensive to me.

@Decad3nce: I read about this in the news. But you have brought the story to life. Er, to death.

@Helvetica: Fair enough. I guess I didn't read anything more into that statement than the fact that a buyer could return the phone if not satisfied.

@Helvetica: Would you rather they had said "All sales are final"? How is this being passive-aggressive?

@SBM_from_LA: I'm disappointed that you didn't manage to bring Hitler into this somehow.

@Rav Casley Gera: Yeah, I understand that. I shoot full-frame on a D3s and that way I can crop and export the images in whatever format I need.

@Eruanno: Yeah, but if they'd chosen 1.85:1 the letterboxing would only have been very slight on a 16:9 (or 1.78:1) screen.

@Rav Casley Gera: I guess I'd have tried to cover as much of the market as possible with the first standard, i.e. pick the most commonly shot movie aspect ratio. I believe that's 1.85:1, but I'm not sure.

@adlyb1: Alternatively, why couldn't the HDTV standards folks settle on a popular movie aspect ratio like 1.85:1?

@89macrunner: And do you get good voice quality when you call your friends on your camera?

@The Squid: I think this is relevant to Gizmodo because someone somewhere at the same time was using something technological-like.

@Schalliol: It's typical marketing hyperbole. I know that they're used as studio monitors in several top-end recording studios, so I take that as proof of industry acceptance and acclaim.
