I think a large part of the issue here is that the cell phone carrier industry as a whole operates more like car dealerships - I've never seen so much back room deals/discussions and "let me talk to the manager" moments. So much so that I've come to…

Seems like it shouldn't be this complicated... I understand about ATT needing to recoup money from subsidies (though I would argue that how much & how long that takes is as much subject to speculation here as the upgrade policy), this being (mor…

Also wondering about battery life - it's about the same, though I'm relieved it doesn't seem to be any worse. I'll have to wait until Monday when I'm back in the office before I know if there's been any improvement in the 3g reception (fortunately I…

I'm pretty sure I've seen the black frame around the screen sported by a 17" Compaq behemoth. I'm still not sold on the black on silver combo, especially with the keyboard. Gives off sort of an unpleasant retro feel.

I bought my blackbook right after the last refresh, with some fear hanging over my head about the potential for this upgrade somewhere in the (then) near future... but that mostly had to do with the (rampant) rumors at that time of better battery li…

Well, it's finally SR week. Here's hoping for a new MBPro this week. I've gone through a number of mental twists over the last few weeks (had my finger hovering over "order now" for a blackbook from Amazon several times) and settled on waiting to se…

I've been looking at both, with my eye on the black - and at least the demo models I've seen (CompUSA, Apple Store) the white MacBooks seem to have issues with discoloration (most of the ones I've seen look pretty gross, actually). Though I admit I …

A buddy of mine had an interesting idea for conserving battery power - to rip dvds & save them to a flash thumb drive, then watch the content straight from there... would that actually work?
-
I have to be honest - I'm not sure if I can even pretend to have understood any of that. So the whole Robson thing will not be enough to have an effect on battery life? I suppose, too, that it will depend heavily on the type of usage - seems like an…

Well, I guess the "want" part of me is fairly large... and really, the only thing keeping me is that a battery life revolution might be just around the corner. I've read everything from potentially a 2-3 hour increase to 10-20 minutes, which is a pr…
