I like my 8830. The boss has a Curve and while the camera must be nice the keyboard is a bit cramped.

Yeah - I want an actual QWERTY keyboard. I had whatever the original RIM Blackberry model was a few years ago and really liked it (back when Nextel was the only provider). Camera quality is very good on the Curve, though.

I really like my BlackBerry. There are a few things I don't like — no access to IMAP folders (except for corporate e-mail on Exchange, Domino, or a similar server), no support for HTML e-mails, and a rather unglamorous user interface. But the wireless automatic synching between my Outlook calendar and contacts is flawless, and the access to both my personal and work e-mail accounts is wonderful. The web browsing of standard web sites could be a lot better, but it's not horrible, and it can be improved by installing an add-on browser.

I'm looking forward to the new BlackBerry Bold coming out this summer/fall. I plan on upgrading to it as soon as I can.

if any one has $4,929,660 you can buy 51% of MESA...

Note I am not a finance person...

according to finance.google.com

if the stock is worth in sum total 10mil, and the company has 142 mil in net equity, wouldn't a buyout and liquidation give the buyer a 10 to 1 return.

I wouldn't want to own even 0.0000001% of Mesa.

I'm starting small - I'm doing a Micro-Do on July 31st, just myself and three other Box denizens enjoying a round of golf and some local brews afterward.

T/F/S, and also a 10:30A showtime on Sunday. It opens a little Sat. night room.

My want for it doesn't revolve around corporate email...personal email, messaging, phone and datebook. I don't use Outlook contacts since I put everything in my Verizon contacts. I have a Razr V3m, and I looked at that new V9 today...for what Verizon is asking for data access, combined with an 8330 (I think) ending up to be $100 out of pocket thanks to "New Every Two" and a rebate, it's certainly compelling.

I guess a better question is why does this company still exist?

To piss off customers?

The same question could be asked about US. Of course Mesa is one of the major regionals feeding US, especially at PHX.

And the same exists for UA at DEN, where Mesa has a lot of flights operating as UA Express.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mesa goes under that it helps pull US, or UA, or both, down with it. Likewise, if US, or UA, goes under, Mesa probably goes away too. Other than some independent flying Mesa does in Hawaii as go!, Mesa's down to just US and UA Express operations. The Mesa-branded flying to EAS cities in New Mexico has been shut down. The US Express B-1900 operation under the Air Midwest operating certificate has been shut down. And DL has canceled their contract for Mesa's Freedom Airlines subsidiary as a DL Connection carrier.

Just dropping by to make my 7,100th post.

^^^ Congrats!

Thanks. ^

Amazing Sir. Well played!^^^

I met a Mesa flight attendant at a party in DC a couple of months back. She said she was a flight attendant, then refused to tell me which airline she worked for. I went through all the mainline legacy and LCC carriers, then got into the regionals. When I got to Mesa, she admitted that she worked for them. "No wonder you wouldn't tell me," I stated.

In addition, she had some of the worst breath I have ever smelled on a non-homeless person and repeatedly began to remove her clothes (she was rather drunk), only to be stopped by her friends.

I saw somthing on the news last night that said US Airways is pulling out all IFE to save on fuel costs. They also mentioned that they were charging $5 for the headsets and it wasnt coming close to recouping the cost of fuel. I have never flown US but it seems they sure have pissed off a lot of people lately.

Even though I usually dont watch the movie I'd rather have the option than not. Which is why I try to stay away from the 733 and 735's on CO.
