hphyre The phones I want tend to be rather pricey, and my Verizon plan goes for two years, so I basically choose the best phone I can afford and hang onto it for two years until I upgrade.

iPhone or a Blackberry Bold/Storm

brady2moss @brady2moss (700) • Singapore 9 Apr 09

I don't have any of these 2 gadgets, I think either of them is too expensive for me. However I absolutely love both of them. If I had to buy one, I'd go with a blackberry Storm. I just think it's the sweetest gadget in the market...

hphyre I think the Google G1 is a more suitable comparison/alternative to the iPhone due to the ability to download and install third party applications. Personally, I would most likely go with the Bold. I'm not a particularly big fan of the iPhone, and I've heard...

hphyre I believe they have; the mobile phone continually becomes more advanced and offers more features thus prompting us to replace a lot of the objects we had relied on in the past for one handy device that can do it all. I personally use my cell phone to check the...

hphyre The whole "cellphone popping popcorn" thing has been around for a while. I'll admit, curiosity got the best of me and even though I was skeptical, I gave it a try anyways. However, no popping resulted. At all. I even used twice as many cellphones as they did,...

Have you ever bought a pair of shoes and never worn them?..........

Linda4ualways @Linda4ualways (2282) • United States 13 Apr 09

I did this a couple of times. I would go to Bakers or some other place right, see a pair of shoes and I would love them in the store, but when I get them home it's a different story. I have two pairs of shoes in my closet right...

hphyre Buying shoes and never wearing them isn't quite an option when you're hard pressed for cash :P In fact, I probably need to get some new shoes. I have about four pairs at any given time: regular casual wear shoes, running shoes, a pair of formal dress shoes,...

hphyre I always thought it was just the whole "pronouncing word differently"/"an object having two names" cases. Like...you say poe-tah-toe while I say poe-tay-toe, you say toe-mah-toe, I say shiny red fruit.

hphyre I think books make great gifts, or if nothing else a gift card to a book store. I choose books based off of their interests, books I've heard good reviews about, an author I know my friend reads, or even a book that I've heard my friend speak about. If you and...

hphyre Happy birthdayyy. Cake is awesome, no matter what sort it is. Unfortunately, I don't think virtual cake tastes as good as physical cake...but I'll give it a shot anyways. Can I give you a virtual high five as a present?

What do you think of Photoshop?

eminey1234 @eminey1234 (6) 25 Mar 09

I personally love Photoshop as I use it either for fun or for small projects, yet they always look more or less plausible enough. I am interested in camera angles and making my own ads on Photoshop. What do you guys prefer?
