1. Comment - Don't drop that phone! Fragile devices threaten customer loyalty

   (Sep 2, 2009 - 8:29 PM)

   honestly, of all the smartphones i have seen, 4 stick out as being very durable.
   
   Blackberry curve(and others based on the same design) it can take abuse and not fall apart.
   
   Samsung Omnia, just use a screen protector to stop scratches and u are set, i have seen them dive in toilets and still endup working 100% fine, fall down stairs, exct.
   
   Samsung blackjack(all models i have seen) this is just samsungs take on the blackberry, tho i like its OS better, really is the one of the above i would choose first.
   
   and the Cect i9 (and other Cect models) are quite good, I have seen a few of their phones take dives from high places and still work, one fell off of my roof when a roofer was giveing us an estimate, it hit the pavement bounced and kept ringing(was his wife ROFL) had some dings but still worked like it never fell!!!!

   whal i agree about people taking responsibility I also feel that if a company is going to design and sell a product they need to take what is likely to happen to that device into account and design accordingly.
   
   I cant tell you how many times my mothers omnia has been dropped short distances to a table or the floor and even down a flight of stairs, and it works perfectly, where as my buddies iphone 3gs screen cracked when it fell 6-7inches to a carpeted floor........oh and b4 that it was over heating ALOT, and no it wasn't jail broken......then apple wants him to pay around 200bucks for the screen to be replaced, thats not kool if you ask me......they could have designed it so the screen was more durable.....
   
   and why arent other cellphones/smartphones/pda's getting a rep for exploding?
   
   why cant apple let the USER replace their own batt?
   
   these are just 2 of the reasons I wouldn't own an iphone, Oh and FYI even if you have apple care, Apple charges to replace the batt in your phone, no matter how old it is, it could be a week old and they would charge you to replace the defective batt.

3. Comment - Opera 10 Final released, bringing back 'turbo' mode

   on the other hand, I have never had the problem with my opera install and yahoo mail, I only use yahoo mail rarely anymore, as it and hotmail suck when compaired to gmail, but still, there are problems at times with opera, not all on opera's end tho, you can try masking opera as IE or FF and see what i mean, on some sites they load fine IF you make them think you are on one of the more known browsers, if not they send broken code to you :(

4. Comment - Google calls Gmail outage 'minor issue', but thousands beg to differ

   its called a hosts file, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file and yes, i block all ads, Google ads being the least annoying of the bunch, since they are mostly just text ads.
   
   for a good hosts file manager/updater http://blocklistpro.com/...hosts-file-manager.html
   to use on vista and newer you need to use compat mode to remove desktop composition or visual themes from the app, its easy as hell.
   
   and even if u have to look at google ads, ur still getting the service free, since your not paying anything out of pocket for it.
