You will DEFINITELY want to donate some money toward the 48hrs of Tristate http://48hrs.info because Andrewtech just gave us a $250 gift certificate for Labor to raffle off in our raffle. For every $10 donated you will get a chance to win! Currently we are sitting at about $8,000 in prizes! -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor Replies to this message: lucien2 (Dec 02, 2008 4:56 pm) paisan (Dec 02, 2008 5:34 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Dec 02, 2008 2:54 pm) The 88xx series is a bit heavy, plus no camera as you pointed out. I like it otherwise. Bummer that you didn't like the Storm. I have not seen one. At work we are stuck with T-Mo, they have an exclusive contract. They used to be horrible, but to be honest they have improved a lot. CR just did a test and while Verizon was the best by far, T-Mo actually was better than AT&T or Sprint, so they are now #2. We really need GSM phones for international use, so the only real choices for us are AT&T and T-Mobile. T-Mobile has better coverage. AT&T has better phones and is ahead with their 3G network compared to T-Mo. Like you concluded, there is no perfect carrier. I would like to combine AT&T's iPhone, with Verizon's US coverage and T-Mobile's GSM coverage overseas.

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 03, 2008 9:45 am) Well guys, I think you need my vast knowledge of cellular phones in order to put this discussion to rest. I had a cell phone for a short while back in 1998. I could make and receive calls with it (sometimes) and it would also store phone numbers. I think that is the way to go.

Replying to: xwesx (Dec 03, 2008 9:48 am) Well now I am definitely in this camp, since I hate talking on the phone period, I have a cell strictly for an emergency. I don't even have a plan,to give you an idea of how much use my cell gets,this is how I go about it. I get a ten dollar phone card every month, automatically billed to my Visa, unused time accumulates, I have about 100 dollars in credits This is only my opinion, you hear lots of grumbling about folks being stressed out, yet it appears that all around me, all I see are people with a cell phone glued to their ear. I see them all the time come out of the house get in the car, and before even starting the car they have a cell phone in their hand. I don't understand this need to be accessible every waking minute of the day. Cheers Pat.

Replying to: hondafriek (Dec 05, 2008 6:10 am) Yes! There are times that I think, "boy, if my wife and I each had a cell phone, this would not have happened," but those occasions are rare and, in a twisted way, fun. I enjoy being inaccessible at times. It keeps me feeling like an individual and reminds folks (especially in relation to work) that I am not so important that they could not live without me.

In this economy, I don't want my company thinking for one second they could live without me! Replies to this message: xwesx (Dec 05, 2008 9:08 am) ateixeira (Dec 05, 2008 1:23 pm)

Replying to: lucien2 (Dec 05, 2008 8:57 am) Hahahha - good point. Maybe I need to change my philosophy. No, I am surrounded by people who have this idea that they are irreplaceable. That they are their position. It is foolishness to me. Sure, I would hate to lose my job, and I certainly feel that I can do it better than anyone else, but that does not mean my employer could not replace me were I suddenly no longer available. Another 4 years, though, and job security will not be so big of a deal. I am very much looking forward to my last mortgage (or any debt) payment.
