Does anyone have any thoughts on the Sheraton Newark Airport hotel?

It's $80 and were thinking staying there for the dinner and calendar shoot to earn another free weekend night

If anyone needs a place to stay for the footie DO. I need another Hyatt stay. The AAA rate on the Hyatt Morristown w/ breakfast is $95. I'll pay half but you can have the room to yourself and the breakfast. I get the stay/points.

While reading this post, I couldn't help but think how similar AT&T is to Comcast. Starting next week, I'll be a customer of both companies. :rolleyes:

If I'm not mistaken, you either have a choice of Comcrap or antenna, correct?

Welcome to CDMA. Do you think VZW should have a large disclaimer somewhere explaining all the underlying technical spec's of the underlying communications network?

Actually, 2G GSM can't do both simultaneously either. 3G on both GSM and CDMA can though.

There has to be a better way. It seem so unnecessary.

Seriously? I love SIM cards for the ability to move my service from phone to phone.

I have no idea what you're doing that you've broken your SIM holder, I don't think i've ever heard of that.

ETA: Have you ever swapped SIMs? There are known issues with certain SIM cards and BBs and Treos.

That makes several of us. It makes my head hurt.

Yes. My SIM card still says "Cingular" on it. :eek:

I'd imagine it has to do with the pins that hold the card down getting knocked out of place after a year or two of use (and by use I mean dropping, kicking, banging, throwing, trampled by the burro, etc.).

Why bother with the SIM card which just displays the contacts in an unusable format on the new phone when you can tether to your computer and get everything downloaded and uploaded in a matter of minutes. I see no advantage to SIM card swapping over tethering besides not needing to find the cable (which on BB is just a mini-USB).

Apparently no one over the phone can give the same (lower) pricing that is available online and if you call multiple times asking for the same packages, you'll receive different pricing each time. After about a week, I got things (mostly) worked out, but the company is run by a bunch of price gouging scum bags.

I noticed that, in Houston, Comcast just dropped two channels (AMC and SciFi) from the expanded basic cable lineup. Without providing any notice. And without providing any reduction in the cable bill.

I don't watch SciFi, but I'd occassionally watch AMC. :mad:

Every month I'm getting more and more tempted to drop cable altogether.
