CTIA highlights

After several long days and even longer nights, Ryan and I finally got back from the big CTIA wireless trade show in New Orleans late yesterday evening. Maybe not as many huge announcements as we might have hoped, but we did discover the hard way that stumbling around drunk and starting fights is perfectly acceptable activity on Bourbon Street, but is not such a cool thing to do on the floor of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (new rule for all future Engadget trade show coverage: always carry bail money). Anyway, here's a little summary of all of our CTIA-related posts for ya:

The i730 was there, but there were no official announcements or any new info. It's supposedly going to be out in a couple of months.

We have plenty of New Orleans stories, but they're best told in person.
