Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    this is a bad ass phone!!! i returned my motorola v360 for the new slider. it has to hurry & come out?

    Not just that, it also has EDGE… something Motorola can’t get seem to get going on their phones. (And even the few phones that they did manage to put EDGE on have the slower class EDGE). For example, the new PEBL and RAZR V3i have no EDGE.

    The Sammy also has Bluetooth version 2.0, one of the few phones to have that.

    i was just wondering if anyone knew if the number pad lights up. i couldn’t tell by any of the pictures that are out-

    The keypad does light up. Just visit Samsung.com and download the instruction manual for full details. Excerpt: A backlight illuminates the display and keypad. When you press any key or slide the phone open, the back light comes on.
