ironically, Segways are not road legal in the UK]]>Jan 13th 2010 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/
What buffoon would ride a Segway on a road anyway, especially in the city like their designed for, unless they had a death wish!

Hmm, I never knew that.

in all this time, I wonder how many of 'IT' has actually sold world wide?]]>Jan 13th 2010 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/
well.. Illegal on the public pavements and highway.. So essentially, unless you have private land to use them on, not much point. And lets be honest. Driving to your front gate and back gets a little boring. ]]>Jan 13th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Jan 13th 2010 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Jan 13th 2010 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Jan 13th 2010 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/

You call yourself a gadgetman?
Forget practicality and legality. Segways are cool gadgets.
You want one. Admit it.

I want one, even though I have no use for one.]]>Jan 13th 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/
Have you ever even ridden one? I have and as far as coolness goes? They are not cool. Geeky? Yes, most definitely. Nerdy, 200% full of nerd win.

The price is what gets me. It's just too damn expensive. It's ridiculously priced. I don't know if it's overpriced but IMHO given the price it is an answer to a question NO ONE was asking except for Dean Kamen.

I will say a Segway is at the top of the nerd/geek's status symbol food chain. ]]>Jan 14th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Jan 13th 2010 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Jan 13th 2010 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Is that if no one is around?]]>Jan 13th 2010 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/Jan 13th 2010 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/segway-inc-bought-by-segway-uk/You think that when they are locked away in a garage, they mumble neurotically to themselves?

Never! Ever! Once on the Even More Plus you are stuck with it, even know it is a "no CONTRACT"! How can you call it a "no contract" if I can't switch to another plan? I want to switch to another TMobile plan, why can't I do it?
