@GiantOctopus: Free text messages.

That doesn't sound like too bad of a deal. I wouldn't mind making a few extra bucks by sitting and playing Angry Birds and singing loudly and horribly alone in some rich dude's car for the day.

It actually doesn't look all that bad to me. Reason being, I won't be using those gestures all that often, but I could see them being useful on occasion. I don't think I would use them enough for it to get annoying.

@dagamer34: Solution: Notified and BiteSMS.

@iHowiz: If it has no SuperDrive, that will work just as well as the SuperDrive in my MBP1,1 does now!

@Slayer: you can't look at a map, or at anything else on the internet while you're on a call. It happens quite often that I'm on the phone and need to look up something like movie showtimes, etc (to supplement the actual vocal information I am transferring). It's just a nice convenience, thats all.

@Lexyl: Good, QUIT BOGGING DOWN MY NETWORK!

@dennyp: Amen.

Goddammit. Why are people such assholes?

@forallintentsandpurposes004: If you're willing to jailbreak, you can use the GV texting on the built in app (or BiteSMS as I prefer) with a 2.99 tweak ("SMS GV Extension", I believe).

@Purple Dave: I was joking. But congratulations.

@Purple Dave: Well, Someone paid attention to Gizmodo University!

@Pimanrules: My MotionX one with the recent Text to Speech update told me to turn right on "Lake Shore Doctor".

@HektikLyfe: Jailbreak.

@jmiranda10: Yes, through the Verizon connection only. wifi is being provided by a completely different source.

@Gotlactose: Yep, I have now and it works. That was the problem. Thats what I get for not reading instructions. Seems like it could be a decent way to cut down on some minutes used but definitely not refined enough to replace the phone app.

@Fossa: ha.

@Gotlactose: it's not working for me. I can't hear the other side and they can't hear me. Incoming or outgoing. Same phone and os.

Luckily jaywalking isn't really a concern for cops here in Chicago. I'm always surprised when I hear how in some other cities it's actually enforced. I've jaywalked right in front of police cars as they are driving by. I would have been tazed plenty of times if they cared.

@Jordan Hughes: I sold my 3GS on Ebay for about $350 and got an iphone 4 for basically $-50.00. Well more like even after tax :)
