    Why would you pick THAT one to be my sarcastic statement? That makes no sense.

    I love the voice talent they get for that show, brian posehn and patton oswalt are great.

    Especially when they got to team up for that episode about kim's nerdy cousin's birthday.

    The voice acting is very good. Will Friedel does a fantastic job.

    And it's not just the main characters that are well voiced. Even the background and secondary characters are fun, particularly Kim's parents.

    I'm surprised that they never made a movie out of the show. A real movie though, not the hour long episode movies they make.

    So the Drama was pretty much movie quality. You could tell it had higher production values, and the animation was a smidge better. But the animation on the show was already really high quality to start with, so they didn't really have to tweak it much.

    Talking on the phone whilst driving has been banned down here in Aus for ages.

    If someone calls, you just pull over. If you can't, then you wait 'till the most convenient time. I'll sometimes call someone back at a red-light and tell them I'll call when I'm not driving. Unless someone is calling you because the world is about to end, or you're about to make a $250 million business deal and this is the guy calling you, harden the fuck up and stop your pathetic whining you little bitches.

    Bluetooth headsets are still allowed however.

    so I plan to get t-mobile again, but I want a good text messaging phone that's not huge like the eNV or that new samsung one with the full keyboard

    iPhone is retarded. Also, it really shows just how much people are stupid cows in terms of marketing being able to herd them. PS3 for $600? Haha NO WAY FUCK YOU the 360 is really similar and is way cheaper. iPhone for $600? OH YES PLEASE FUCK MY FACE WITH IT because I can't think of any other way to get that awesome functionality for less. All about marketing.

    $200 is almost within my pricerange

    ACTUALLY engadget or gizmodo, i forget which, got word that there is an ATT memo floating around that describes MMS-like functionality for the iphone 3G.

    here:
    http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/06/26/internal-att-memo-indicates-groundbreaking-iphone-3g-feature-mms/
    Check this out. New reports are coming in that a very interesting memo is currently circulating internally at AT&T. Said memo reportedly lists a variety of features that will supposedly be included on the upcoming iPhone 3G. Among them is an exciting new service that - get this - allows you to send SMS-like messages that include multimedia attachments. Imagine! The service, cleverly named Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) supposedly allows users to attach one or more image, audio file or even video and deliver the message along with text. The recipient of the message will then see and / or hear the multimedia on his or her mobile. Nutty. None of this is confirmed as of yet, but how sweet would it be if a mobile phone had functionality like this?! Oh Apple, you’ve done it again! Next thing you know we’ll find out that Apple has figured out a way to copy text from one place and paste it to another. Ok, that’s just crazy talk.

    hmmmm

    so, you want something with text messaging but doesn't have a huge full keyboard?

    off the top of my head, the Samsung "Blast" and classic BlackBerry "Pearl" are pretty good phones with keyboards halfway between a full QWERTY and simple numpad that are easy to text with and they fit in a pocket really easily.

    What is their 'really good marketing'? The only marketing I've seen for iPhone consists of a few short adverts demonstrating some of the basic functions of the phone. I guess they have a section on their website for it as well which...basically runs through everything the iPhone can do. And...maybe a demonstration at a key note speech? And demonstration models in shops?

    So basically, their 'really good marketing' consists solely of just putting the phone in front of people and letting them decide if they like the functionality or not?

    Devious!


    Why don't manufacturers with cheaper alternatives that do the same stuff just go out and demo their product as well?
