    If you want to see the Palm Pre, they'll be showing it off on Jimmy Fallon tonight.

    Get back to me when there's a way to see it without watching Jimmy Fallon. :p

    I have this awesome Motorola that will make phone calls. No shit. You talk into the fucking thing and people can hear you and talk back. Rad.

    Yeah, it probably has a rotary dial too. Far out.

    That changed in January. You just need to get the newest version:

    Google Maps won't support it, but the standard Blackberry nav system works great.

    I probably would have an iPhone if I didn't despise AT&T's service. I have the 8830 & love it. The Slacker app is fantastic.

    Do you have to ask Sarah to connect you to BR5-49 or can you dial direct on it, Punk?

    Sarah was furloughed when the rotary dial came out. When it became a success, she was laid off.

    She should have become a journalist, where all employment is safe.

    StormSurge...i've also got the 8330 Blackberry Curve. haven't had it long and haven't checked into all what it can do. but i love it. was wondering how does the GPS part work and the process of setting that up?

    First you need to run version 4.5.0.77. This can only be done via USB cable & the net. (I'd send you a link if I was at a computer, but you can get it from the Verizon site.)

    Once that's up & running, just go to Options, Advanced Options & turn on GPS. Go to your Maps app & start GPS.

    (I apologize if I forgot a step or screwed something up. This was from memory. I'll try & post a link later.)
