Just cancel the contract, it'll be, what?, 20$?

US carriers typically charge a $250 "early termination fee."

We use to have that & then legislation was enacted. There's a Federal code & Quebec has a law. Max contracts are now 2 years(well will be, but no one offers 3 years anymore) and, here, only the subsidy for the phone needs to be paid back. The cost is subsidy/24 x # of months left on the contract.

Our plans sucks tho.

@BB Oh, how much longer?

Soon! 5C for you!

I shouldn't get too excited.  It'll probably be pretty locked down.  If I can't install any apps or music then it's not going to be all that different from my BB Bold.

Hopefully it's just 9 more days of waiting for me before I rid myself of the Android phone.  My contract expired a couple of days ago. :yeah:

I don't think Apple has ever really said, though going back to the iPhone 3GS I thought it stood for "speed".

My iPod seems to....it did something weird today where it drained its battery in like 20 minutes.  It was a super short amount of time.  Is this something that....I don't know...happens sometimes with the "new" iPod touch?

Speaking of batteries, holy shit that trackpad burns through them QUICK.  Granted, I'm using rechargeables, so they probably don't last as long, but it blew through the regular generic batteries it came with in about a week.







This might mean I'm on the computer too much, now that I think about it.  :hmm:

E:  And another thing:  My Air does this thing where...okay I've been drinking so bear with me...when you open it up and type in the password to unlock it, it'll display the desktop/whatever was open for about 10-15 seconds, then the screen will go blank again like it went back to sleep.  I have to tap the touchpad a couple times (so it clicks) in order to get the display "going" again.  It's very strange.  Do I have a retarded laptop, or is this a known issue?

Mine did the same, plus it would lag for 10-20 seconds every 2-3 minutes. I had it changed as they couldn't fix it.
