God only knows how long you’ll be on hold for. If I were you I wouldn’t even bother getting an actual question ready for them because chances are you’ll never get connected or you’ll just hang up out of frustration.

No Signal: a supercut of folks having no cellphone service in movies

You know the situation: Somebody is chasing you or you’re stranded in some remote location or you simply need to reach somebody urgently…and then you pick up the phone and you get zero bars. Ahh, if only timing was always so precise. [via]

Palm Pre (because I like looking at pictures of it)

I just realized that I’ve never actually bothered to look at the hi-res press images of the Palm Pre despite being fascinated with the device since its introduction at CES.

It’s supposed to launch in Spring 2009 on Sprint, but Palm or Sprint haven’t released an official date yet. If this ever makes it onto T-Mobile or AT&T, I’d gladly give up my BlackBerry for it. Heck, if reviews are good (which I’m sure they will be), I’d even consider jumping onto Sprint.

The once-mighty titan of the cellphone industry has fallen far from the top, reporting today a $3.6 billion net loss for the 4th quarter of 2008. Damn.

Here’s what about $2 billion worth of pennies looks like (approximately 200 billion pennies).

I almost want to switch to Verizon Wireless for this. But I know that it’s not worth the service price nor is it worth the price of the phone. Bleh.
