I literally just got home from a Verizon Store- one opened up in Westwood Village, and so I figured I would check it out while I was out walking and sipping on my iced coffee. I was able to try out a Storm that was on display, and I must say I was not very happy with it. Of course, if I were to have played with it for longer than 10 minutes maybe I would have ended up liking it. Who knows. I'll play with it again at some point.
Here is what I thought from my 10 minute trial:
-it wasn't as user-friendly as the iPhone
-I didn't like the portrait keyboard. I couldn't figure out how to correct what it thought I was trying to type (I was trying to type http://www.macrumors.com in the browser but it wouldn't let me type macrumors). I would guess there is a way to do it, I just couldn't figure it out.
-I didn't like that I couldn't unpinch/pinch to zoom in/out and that I had to press a zoom button
-I couldn't get used to having to press the screen in
I don't know if it's fair to compare it to the iPhone or not. I just remember the first time I tried an iPhone, everything just made sense. It was easy to use, the UI didn't seem clunky, it was very intuitive. I just didn't feel that way with the Storm.
for my girl. shes been dying to see paramore.. so im gona surprise her tonight. its gona be her birthday soon so i got floor seats..
I used a Trojan once with my girlfriend and it was HORRIBLE. The smell of latex was unbearable and it was about 2" thick. Kimono ftw!
Quality stuff, ive got the same one rewired into my peavey.
And Avril rocks
As do Paramore
Love hypnotic
I. <3. BOSS.
I use their ME50 Pedalboard and I don't mean to brag but that thing sounds SWEET!
And yes, Avril ROCKS.
Agreed, I love the storm even with it's little issues (but it is a first gen), Storm 2 is looking rather sweet and has a way better screen than the iPhone (as does the Storm 1).
I'm a bit curious as to why you bought a standalone bluray player when the PS3 is widely thought to be the best one available, and you clearly have a PS3 as evidence by your game purchase.
Optical cable
I'll never understand why an optical connection needs gold plated ends...
What model is it?
VOS 50's or 60's Custom? It doesn't look aged, it looks like a new model with the "new" neck, Not fat 50's or thin 60's.
Is it a New Standard?
Yesterday and today I spent a total of $1,150 on vehicle maintenance for my truck and my wife's car. Tranny flushes, Coolant flushes, power steering flush w/new hoses, brakes for the car, and another item covered under warranty. Yikes.

Because there's some idiot out there who thinks gold plated connectors matter on an optical cable and Monster Cable doesn't let ethics stand in the way of making a quick buck or two (or in their case, a quick hundred bucks)
monoprice.com FTW!
