Interesting that someone who'd purchase a blackberry of their own volition would criticize someone else's automotive taste.
Anyway, latest purchase - polarized Persols
The bottom line is you get what you pay for. It's as simple as that. Objectively, a cheap half-assed smartphone with massive buttons is inferior to a more expensive refined phone with a touchscreen.
I see what you failed to do there, but the Bolds cost about the same as the equivalent Android phones and are quite well refined. Simply not having a touchscreen doesn't make a phone inferior. BBs don't have the same selection of apps but they're better for messaging, social networking, and security.
I have a blackberry bold 9000, which has sat in a drawer for a couple of years. I also had a 9700, issued to me by my employer, which I subsequently returned.
Perhaps basing my opinion of Blackberrys on my personal experience was done in error.
Yes, it was. You not liking them doesn't make them objectively bad phones. I've owned four BlackBerries and I quite like them, as do the tens of millions of people who continue to buy them every quarter.
I, too, am a DE razor guy. One word of advice: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THE BLADES. They are insanely sharp and any cuts will bleed incessantly.
It seems to me RIM is experiencing a " . . . drastic decline in BlackBerry sales in the United States . . . ", mitigated only by " . . . promoting inexpensive BlackBerrys in less developed countries as entry level smartphones." I think the market speaks much more loudly about RIM's viability.
Related to the Aston Martin: It is particularly interesting is that, although Ford previously owned Aston Martin and sold it a few years ago, Aston Martin still sources its engines and technology from Ford.
An extra iPhone dock for my 4S. I must say that the color suits my black iPhone a lot better than the original Apple dock. Moreover, I didn't have to pay 50$ for the original one, more like 15$. For the price it's real nice. It also features a 3.5mm line out.
I also signed up for a 3G mobile internet service. 32 mbit, should offer decent performance. I initially planned to get this for the iPad I was planning on purchasing, but I'm not very likely to purchase one, instead I plan on waiting for the new MBA. It will definitely come in handy for the MBA as well.

It was about $17 which I don't mind at all. I've seen the cheaper prices over on Amazon.com but I'm in Canada.
One of my buddies has this in the purple/blue so that's one of the reasons I decided on this case! It fits really well.
Just ordered some new Sperry's can't wait to get them, should have done expedited shipping. oh well.
I like the GT500, but American isn't my thing. However I do love racing games, so I decided to get this:
Thrustmaster T500 RS Ferrari F1
Sadly I cannot a real Ferrari, much less a real F1 car.
OMG that is so cool!! Can it be attached to a table somehow?
Yeah, because clearly the United States market is the only one that matters, increasing sales in the other worldwide markets mean nothing! You know, like how RIM is actually building BlackBerry stores in the Middle East because they have people queuing up to buy the latest BlackBerry Bolds. But f' that, Americans don't like them as much!
Best stick to the Nissan GTR then

BlackBerry had a store in London as well. Despite [still] having quite a large part of the british market, it just didn't survive.
