    - it's basically a Storm with a keyboard, right ? -- nm - decline Aug 13, 08:49 1
      - Not like the storm. Capacitive touchscreen so more iPhone/Android device like. Webkit browser, etc. -- nm - oblique Aug 13, 08:51

Just saw a guy crossing the street walking a raccoon on a leash. Is that legal? -- nm - Crankyanker Aug 13, 08:39 10
