Just saw Hexxeh's posted and wanted to share for others.

I got "Network not connected and offline login fail". Other posts had mentioned using 'chronos' and 'password', but just now saw Hexxeh's post to use 'facepunch' with no password.

Would be nice of Engadget to update the post.
Verizon recently upped their early termination fee to $350. I wonder if the drop in price could be attributed to greater assurance a customer will fulfill their two year contract?
This is the primary reason (Net Neutrality) I voted for Barack Obama over John McCain. It's surprising to me how many people are unfamiliar with this issue and how quickly it could destroy innovation if not treated properly.
Going to have to say I agree with this reasoning on this issue.
Maybe if they didn't they paid attention to consumers instead of executives (http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/25/dan-hesse-sez-android-not-yet-good-enough-for-sprint-brand/) they wouldn't see so many customers leaving for AT&T (iPhone) or T-Mobile (Android). Additionally, as a Sprint customer, their customer service is hit or miss, and their contract cancellation policy (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/sprint-loses-early-termination-lawsuit-ordered-to-pay-73m-b/) leaves a lot to be desired.
This device has a 2.5mm (non-standard) headphone jack. I still get over how many of these WinMo phones don't have 3.5mm audio jacks. As if people still actually uses a corded headset instead of a bluetooth one. I love this phone, but I cannot believe they are marketing with media capabilities and it doesn't even support a damn standard headset!
Nursing Home Orderly: Good news, everybody, we're extending arts and crafts time by four hours today.

Old Woman: My fingers hurt.

Nursing Home Orderly: What's that?

Old Woman: My fingers hurt.

Nursing Home Orderly: Oh, well, now your back's gonna hurt, 'cause you just pulled landscaping duty. Anybody else's fingers hurt? ...I didn't think so.
You have come a long way. Keep up the good work.
"Blu-ray won the Black Friday week 73-27. So much for the new cheap players thats been sold."

Stay on topic. You are referring to disk sales, not movie players. Blu-ray may have sold more movie disks, but HD-DVD sold more players. Given the popularity of the PS3, its a wonder people are finally catching on to the fact you can actually play movies on it.

Also, Engadget should get their facts straight. Wal-mart cleared out the HD-A2 unit after it bought them all up and sold them at $99!

The HD-A2 is a discontinued model, so coming by one is going to be difficult. That being said, I saw a large number of ad's marketing the HD-A3 for $200 (or less). If you bought from Best Buy, you got 10 movies instead of 5 (2 in box, 5 from promotion, and any 3 from the store).
I'm sure his parents are thrilled.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
