Vodafone will have it as will <a href="http://www.verizon.com/" title="Verizon Communications" rel="homepage" class="zem_slink">Verizon</a>. I have heard four different release dates for the Verizon version ranging anywhere from the 1st to the 11th. Suffice it to say it will be sometime in November :)

Judging from the pictures of the dummy model sent out to Verizon stores it’s not too much bigger than the pearl. I’ve been waiting on my next upgrade and this may just have to be it.

This Week’s Post Was Suggested And Written By Kathi

SSgt. Renee A. Deville
44 years old from Webster New York
401st Civil Affairs Battalion 
September 1, 2008
 

SSGT Renee A. Deville was an Army Reservist who deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the 401st Civil Affairs Battalion from Webster, N.Y. She arrived at Walter Reed August 10, 2006, after being injured in a mortar attack. 

While at Walter Reed, Deville was assigned to Chosen Battery, Warrior Transition Brigade, and was among three graduates of the Army’s first Basic Noncommissioned Officers Course Stand Alone Common Core offered to Warriors in Transition. 

Deville, who successfully completed every aspect of the course from a wheelchair, was lauded by SGT Major of the Army Kenneth O. Preston as exemplifying the Army’s ‘Warrior Ethos’, at the graduation ceremony for the course on March 28, 2008. 

Deville was also the impetus for a new playground being built behind the Mologne House at Walter Reed in 2007. 

An October 2007 Washington Post article about the opening of the playground says that SSGT Deville’s mention of her children’s limited recreational options to Col. Bruce Haselden, the garrison commander, helped set in motion the playground project. 

Staff Sgt. Renee Antoinette Deville died September 1, 2008 in her room at the Mologne House at Walter Reed. She was 44. 

She is survived by her husband and 4 children, her mother, a brother, and two sisters. 

SSGT Deville was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on September 19, 2008.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

    I don't seriously consider the G1, running Google's Android, an iPhone killer. I don't use the iPhone mainly because of the lack of a keyboard, bluetooth or the fact that there is no 3G service where I live, yet Verizons high speed network IS out this way. 

CBS has this report and compares the two.

Do you use either one and if so what do you think? Shoot me an email and I’ll post some of the results here. Sorry about comments being turned off right now. Eventually they will go back on.

It's not as if I have been doing anything on the poor neglected blog lately anyway.

I have all but stopped doing the paid links and nonsense posts now and will sooner or later get back to posting actual technology related posts.

The roll call for the vote on the financial bail out has been released, you can find out here if you want to thank (or rail at) your congressman. I was glad to see that my representative, Phil Gingrey, voted against the measure. 

I don’t think I have any posts scheduled for today so it may be a bit slow around here. I worked until 9pm last night and was pretty tired so I didn’t get anything else written. I will have “This Week on America’s Most Wanted” up mid-morning but that’s about it.

I just ran across this sucker last night and thought it was funny as hell. While I can really see the need for a product such as this I couldn’t stop laughing…
