“A Great Mobile Phone”:

Calling its user interface “simplicity itself,” Bob LeVitus (Houston Chronicle) praises iPhone. “It’s easier to use than any phone before it, and it introduces a fantastic new feature known as “Visual Voicemail,” which lets you browse through all of your voice messages on screen and listen to them in any order.” As an iPod, LeVitus adds, iPhone offers “the best video functionality ever in an iPod. Everything — movies, TV shows, photos, video podcasts, and album art — looks absolutely fantastic on the high-res display.” And “speaking of screens, iPhone’s is huge, gorgeous, and touch-sensitive,” providing “rich, deeply saturated colors at an ultra-high resolution which adds up to a sharp picture.”

So last month, I was looking over the charges of my american express card, and I noticed that I had been charged $12 about a dozen times by Blockbuster Online. This is of course pretty curious, as I am not even a blockbuster member, never mind one of those people who receives dvd’s in the mail.

I called American Express, and disputed the charges (the dispute is still ongoing), but today I noticed there an additional 10 charges for $19.99. It appears a lot of people are having fun at my expense! I am on hold with American Express right now, and will be cancelling my card.

So now I am on the market for a wii, and for the life of me I can’t find one anywhere!

I am calling the stores everyday now to see if a magical shipment has been received, but it appears that the best thing to do is to set up a tent outside your local toys’r’us and hope that the nintendo gods are feeling bountifull.

Come on Nintendo! How long will I have to wait?

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I
couldn’t find any.
