[nfbwatlk] {Disarmed} FW: Top Tech Tidbits for Thursday, September 9, 2010 - Volume 274

Fri Sep 10 02:20:37 UTC 2010

Hi, Lauren,

The samsung is cool, but at present you cannot surf the web with it.  That
particular screen which uses Verizon Wireless' home page is a silent screen.
I am sure they will utlimately get it fixed.  For the price, it does a lot.
I will also say that I do not like texting doing numbers for the letters.  I
grew up with those, so I know them well, but I would rather push a letter
and be done.  That said, at least they are doing SOMETHING!  I am an i_Phone
fanatic, so I won't be in the market for one soon.

Good luck with it.

Alco
