That is quite amazing.

"Call up Dell. Habib tells me that in order for him..."

Is that supposed to be a joke? I'm not Indian, but racial slurs of any sort should never be tolerated or condoned.

Also, your opinion is shit. ALL Dell displays rate well. The high-end ones are the best in the industry. As a matter of fact, only HP's 30" has been rated better than than Dell's, and that's still subject to argument.

But seriously, Habib? Bad news, bro, bad news.]]>Jan 9th 2008 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Ignore the votes against you though, that's because the engadget crowd is apparently so adapted and in line that you can't say anything bad about big companies or their CEO's, no matter how true and proven it is.

I thought the use of habib was perfectly ok, it describes the situation in a short term, and I think that to complain about the name 'habib' as being racist when used as a descriptor is pretty offensive to the millions of people called habib eh. And I have never seen someone complain when someone used such to describe a european, like 'hans' for german, or pierre for french, or joe for americans andsoforth. Seems the 'anti-racist' people here like to judge based on color of the person then eh...

Well have fun voting me down people, I hope it puts a glow on your cheeks.]]>Jan 9th 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Jan 8th 2008 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Jan 8th 2008 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/

See, no PC builder is really better than any other. All basic tech-support sucks. You get what you pay for. Buy the best tech support and you will get an American with a college degree or better yet, a smart Chinese person. Seriously, in my experience everytime I get a Chinese tech support person, they know what they were talking about.

While everyone may have different takes on every product, calling this thing "kinda unsightly" is over the top. This is a 30 inch monitor, it need some support.

The man's name could have been Habib; you don't know if it is or not. Don't make fun of a man's name.

One good thing though, going by these pictures, the base for the 2007WFP could be used with these as it appears to have the same connector. In that case, just call up spare parts and a base for the 2007WFP to use with your new 3008WFP!!!]]>Jan 9th 2008 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Jan 9th 2008 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Jan 9th 2008 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Jan 9th 2008 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/Jan 9th 2008 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/
Tow is minimum for "we", unless you want to share.

I guess these companies don't set out to hire people that give bad support, they just don't filter out employees that do not, like they ought to be doing.]]>Jan 9th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/dell-3008wfp-hands-on/
