Technical questions:

-If the power is under part 15 limis, they can use any frequency, as long as it doesnt cause "harmful interference". Example: CDMA and GSM test sets are legal, especially when used in a shield box.
-Non-WCDMA systems don't authenticate the network. No problem there.
-GSM systems just query each network and try to register. If your phone has manual network selection, you just select the box's network.
-A test network code is established for CDMA systems, your phone automatically selects it if it sees it (for use in test)
-Femtocells run on (W)CDMA for frequency planning reasons, GSM can run just fine in a femtocell if it doesn't need to play nice with the rest of the network.

Essentially, you can do this by going on eBay and buying a HP CDMA or GSM test set, and patching the audio to a phone line yourself. It's also how you set up a fraudulent base station and listen in on others calls.
Remember, RIM takes a monthly cut from the BIS/BES service as well, something other smartphones don't have.
The keyboard has an AltGr key too... not US.
I know for a fact that the 2005 Honda Accord is already a CA Tier II Bin 5 LEV II vehicle. So, they're coming out with this "eco friendly" vehicle at least 4 years later that is somehow better?
"Although the brand of chip has not been revealed, since this all went down in Santa Clara, it's not too difficult to figure out whose products got pinched."

Intel, as with most manufacturers with complex packages, ship their wafers off to Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore or China for assembly, and from there they go straight to the distributors. It was most likely stolen on the way from a distributor anyway. You can't pick up a vanload of anything directly from Intel.
They have a NOx problem because of all the diesels they use. The only problem modern gasoline engines cause is CO2, which is completely non-toxic to humans.
Zeke: it doesn't run out, it used up half the battery to prime itself. Then, to prevent wasting more disposable batteries next time, it shuts off with 45% of the charge remaining.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
