i dont think i like the instant-skin-cancer feature

step away from the ledge and stay right where you are, thats an order.

am i on the wrong track here or is there some darkened room in redmond where the smoke is thick and one sole light bareley illuminates the periphery; a few MS veeps sit and go "well, if we make another 'millenium', some will try it for the fancy stuff, though for the most part, everyone will really hate it. but what if, more importantly, we still try to put something else out that works sort of better (2000) maybe we'll sell the sh*+ out of it to the business folk. then we can make it look all fischer-price-like and sell even more to the home users(xp). man, -snorts- we'd be rich!" ...time passes... "well that worked out well huh guys? -snorts- let's do it again!!"

on a more practical note, will there be a direct upgrade path from XP pro to 7 ???

'bout f-ing time.
i manage a fleet of like 60 units and some of the bigshots here ended up carrying two and sometimes 3 phones because Nextel is sooo weak. A nice hybrid-like BB smilar in design to the world edition with direct connect would be sweet in our particular set of circumstances. A camera would be a nice touch too.

uhm yes, please. make it two.

Engadget is the most well thought of, respected, nay REVERED, blah, blah.... dot dot dot.....woo hooo Virgin Atlantic!!
