Vantage or Touch Dual
I’m in the search for a cell phone for the Bell-Aliant Network–and I’ve narrowed my decision down to the LG Vantage and the HTC Touch Dual. In this decision I’ve considdered overall fuctionality, web-browsing capabilities, interface, and text-messaging abilities. So, the LG Rumor would be great–if it were 3G, had a higher resolution camera and screen… but the keyboard would be great. I don’t need to run external apps (except possible J2ME (Java) applications).
If anyone has experience with these cell phones, please comment on this post or contact me.
Note: I would LOVE the iPhone (although by Rogers… enough said) but the cost (minimum $50/mo) but when more (cheaper plan$) affodable plans become available it would be top-of-my-list.

The iPhone Safari browser is amazingly limited — no “find in page” function, no extensions, and no other search providers available (either Google or Yahoo). However the iPhone’s been gifted an amazing rendering engine and Javascript library, which is why I recommend the following Javascript bookmarklets. If you aren’t sure how a bookmark differs from

Remember as a kid what it was like to have “TV free week“? Where your elementary school class would collectively give up all TV, movies, and video games for a week to examine just how reliant we are on television. Well, this week I’ll be living app-free for a week; no Tweetie, no Facebook, no
Apps for Lent

I’m a Catholic: in the Catholic Church it’s tradition to forgo something you like for “Lent,” a period between “Ash Wednesday (this year February 17)” and “Easter Sunday (this year April 4)” and as such I’ve given up the App Store. Well we’re down to just one day left before chocolate and apps, and I’ve kept
No More Facebook App Notifications?

<rant>I got a few frantic and outraged emails, texts, and IMs from some friends in the last few days relating to a message from a few app developers, notably Honesty Box, saying that (from Honesty Box) “This may be the last notification you receive from us.” Alarming. I did a quick Google search and found
