Standing in Salt Lake City with my iPhone, 5 bars, still can't complete a call. No wait, it's 1 bar. Hang on, it's 5 bars again. No, it is 4 bars now. I haven't moved. Oh.. 1 bar. Call comming in. Hello? Hello? Oh, Hi! You still there? Hello? Call failed, Call Back? 5 bars. Call rings in... Hello? Oh, sorry about that. Ya? No, I can be there shortly. What's the address? 3800 West... Hello? You still there? Call Failed, Call Back?...

Where can we write to the presiding judge and file as friends of the court in favor of Verizon? Anyone have his email address? Or maybe in a twist of irony, the judge is an AT&T subscriber already in one of those big blank areas of the map...

Why? I mean, seriously. That is one of the worst things I have ever seen done to a laptop. I take that back. It is the worst thing I have ever seen done to a laptop. Ever.

Looks, um... stone shaped.
1. You open the flip thingee there and wear it on your head ala Dark Helmet - Spaceballs style.
2. The flip thingee is just the overly pretentious packaging and has nothing to do with the actual product at all.

For $900 to get it to the US? Forgetaboutit!

My GOPro Camera does all that for 1/4 the price. Just missing the LCD for playback.

The 730's are a beast. We have used several of these over the last couple years. I actually went looking for one yesterday on Dell's website. The only machine there was the Studio XPS and the XPS 630 which offers the big Video and Hard Drive options, but does not have the newer i7 processors, or DDR3.

You can get i7 on the XPS Studio 9000 series and DDR3, but then you can't get 10K RPM Drives or Dual video cards. There is a serious disconnect in the offerings. They completely neutered themselves. I don't know what the ___ they are thinking.

If this catches on, and I think it will, you will quickly see display makers cranking out thin or no bezel displays to match up with the monitors. I can think of dozens of applications for this from schools, to museums, lobby displays, etc. You can get no bezel displays now, but they are hella expensive.

Hate the headphone jack placement. What were they thinking?

Wasted space on a display port. Does anybody besides dell even use it?
Tackpad could be bigger

This is it! This is the thing that will solve all economic ills and bring MJ back from the dead. Granted he may be undead, but hey, why split hairs. Bringing MJ would be the biggest stimulus package on the planet. The money machines would kick into uber-high gear. So grant me the wish of WiFi Music, Engadget, and bring back MJ.
