Drew, I had one when I loaded a game from Facebook (I know, I know...) I googled remove whatever the add was and found out how to get rid of it. It was easy enough that I could do it, so it was really easy...

Thanks. I'll look for it.

Is anyone having a problem with Spider Solataire in Windows 7 of not being able to restart the current game or even save a game despite the 2 boxes to do with saving a game in the options are checked?

I decided to get the Blackberry Bold 9700 after much deliberation. The sealer of the deal for me was I didn't want a touchscreen. So far, I couldn't be happier with my choice. Even though there isn't much 3G coverage around here, it also runs on WiFi networks which makes it super quick. Its not any bigger than my Curve so I like that about it. also, I love having Pandora on my phone. What an awesome app.

I've been very happy with the Bold also.

As someone fairly new to cell phone dependency, let me ask you...

I've noticed that the Bold only displays the number of the person calling me and not the name. When I asked T Mobile about that, they said that's just normal, unless the caller is in your contacts. Is that true? Do most cell phones do the same thing, just show the number and not the name? Booooo.

[romster]

Yes, it's true.

flash on the iphone is really really close....

and google has found out the hard way that you can't release a product in the cell phone industry and not support it...

*OOOPS*

Yeah that's how every cell I've ever had has been. Kinda sucks but then, if its a number I don't recofnize especially 800 and 866 numbers then I don't answer them. If its important, they can voicemail me

Congrats on the new toy Frank!

*OOOPS*

not to mention the reports of an added $350 early termination fee from google in addition to the ETF from t-mobile if you cancel your contract early!


hopefully they don't decide to do that with the rumored (and currently nameless) WiMAX Android device, I'd have a hard time recommending it to any of my customers

------------------------But if it's a 900 number you can't answer it fast enough.

GO LIONS "10" !!!!!!!!!!

Usually you dial the 900 numbers, they don't dial you, DanO.
