No doubt. BTW, I recently upgraded from a 1st gen iPhone to the 3GS and was astonished by the battery drain of leaving 3G turned on. I used to be able to go days between charges; no longer. I'm a slow learner, but now I know if I'm travelling I tend to turn off 3G unless I specifically want to access data and I'm just checking whether a 3G network is available.

It's not all bad news, though. The browser speed is very good and the camera is downright decent, considering. And I continue to find that almost always, yes, there is an app for that.

3G does not drain my battery. I have a 2nd gen iPhone. I have 3G on at al times. If I'm not messing around with other apps and internet, etc., it holds a charge for about 2 days. Uh, it may be relevant to mention that I hardly talk on the phone at all though. Just not a phone person.

I don't know what generation I have. It says 3G sometimes. I have a supplemental battery thingy. I don't talk on it much at this point.

The Droid causes me to rethink my previous strategy (hold out until Verizon gets a shot at the iPhone). I'll probably wait a few months to see how well people like it (and what the downside is, I've heard some not so good things about additional fees), but it's getting rave reviews right now.

I think yours is the same as mine -- 3G. I don't think 3GS was out yet when you got yours.

I misspoke about being on 3G all the time. It is on our wireless network when I am at home. I always use 3G when out of the house though because I've never had much luck with outside wireless networks and 3G works perfectly fine for me (when, uh, I'm somewhere that AT&T chooses to cover with their 3G network). Never noticed any particular 3G battery suck.

There were so many surreal moments, from his pathetic 4 am voicemails disclosing he'd been at a gala and with "a friend" to actually seeing him behind the glass in a striped jump suit, to seeing him actually emerge, in an untucked shirt and carrying his possessions and cufflinks in a bag.

Bottom line: don't drink and drive.

Don't you usually date men who could afford a car service if they plan to drink much?

They did a striped jump suit for an overnight lockup, and had him talking to you from behind glass? Things have changed since I hung out in overnight lock-ups. And I thought he was in a tux in jail?

He rarely drinks, so it never occurred to him that he would get shit-faced and stumbly at the series of afterparties he attended with an actual bimbo party girl, about whom he kept telling me "it was not a date!"

After he was released, I saw that had anyone care enough to put him into a cab, they could have just handed the guy one of the stack of bills in his money clip and had him safely home. That no one did, including one of my best friends who saw him shortly before he left the final thing, added to the pathos.



Yes, it was horrific. We were in a tiny room with a glass wall between us so I could fill out the paperwork. He was in stripes and some plastic sandals.

According to the very cute guy who was trying to pick me up in the waiting room outside of the jail, that was not standard operating procedure, but the ex-LMA was not a model prisoner. When I described him to my waiting room buddy, who was awaiting his ride after being sprung for dwi, he said, no the only one was this real belligerent asshole.

When the ex-LMA walked out, with his tux shirt untucked, carrying his suspenders, cufflinks, etc, they greeted each other, confirming that the ex-LMA was in fact the belligerent asshole.
