Yeah, lol, every time he finishes loading a web page, he has to hit
"refresh" because it's already out of date.

Yeah, and they tried to bust him for downloading child porn, but he got
acquitted because by the time the image loaded, the kid was all grown up,
lol. Thank you thank you ladies and germs!

I think she's trying to say that *she* doesn't care about it (you know,
because she's so hip, and all), and since she is clearly the
end-all-be-all of hipness, anywon who does actually care doesn't matter.

Is that not right, Karen? Hmm?

Those speeds are not 3G.

They will later have EVDO. That will be 3G.

An important distinction. While the phone may be capable of 3G (a "3G
phone"), it's another thing for the network to be 3G (a "3G network").
