Is there a nicely sorted list of Motorola phones?

The P series is new, so far only confirmed to be coming out in China. In the US, its: Z series (I'd say the X series is about equal but I think it's discontinued now) G series E series The Z series and G series also have the Play or Force models, those are the low end of that series. Current...

Do adults need to drink beer?

If you want to, do it. If not, don't. Thanks to modern water sanitation systems, it's no longer a necessity to drink mild alchoholic beverages because the water is bad. If you enjoy it, do so. Hey, at least your dryer didnt break down.

Thank you OP. I've been thinking of becoming a landlord myself. You've once again reminded me why I shouldn't do it. While I'm sorry to hear about your father, at least be comforted in the fact that the next time the dryer stops working on a Saturday morning your mother can hold you and...

Anyway to buy iPhone 5 without contract (in the US)?

Currently, they're not avalable unlocked until next month sometimes. You could buy an unsubsidized one from AT&T, if they let you. Since it's such a hot seller, they may not allow you to buy one without a contract yet. The Verizon version (maybe Sprint as well) is unlocked on the GSM/HSPA...

Sure, ban the trucks. Just get used to paying 4x what you do now for goods since there won't be an effective way to transport them. What will you replace them with? Pickups. Yeah, like the 100 pickups it will take to transport the load of 1 semi will be better for traffic. And don't say...

Crying over here!!! Where are the phones with HSPDA 1700 support???

The problem is that UTMS Band 4 (1700mhz) is only used in the US, Canada, and Chile. Manufacturers don't want to go to thru the expense to add 1700mhz when almost no one will use it. The bands AT&T uses (2 and 5) are used in several countries besides the US and Canada.
