Wow! It’s replaced Firefox on both Windows and Linux for me. (And it runs on OS X, too.) It’s actually built on Firefox, so I’ve got all my favorite extensions added in. I’m not going to do it the injustice of trying to describe it. Download it and spend five minutes with it. You’ll thank yourself.<\/p>\n

(Link here<\/a>). It sucks less than I expected. Our first reaction to seeing the commercial was, “That must be impossible for a left-handed person to use.” So when Kyle was given one to review, we called over a left-handed friend. Sure enough, it’s virtually impossible for him to use. There are some other problems: it comes in three colors, and Navy is the only one that’s not hideously ugly. The way you hold it closed (I’m not sure what you do when it’s closed; I couldn’t get it to do anything but it apparently has media features) is upside-down from how it opens. And when it’s open, there are two things on the back: the camera and the antenna. You cover both with your hand. The antenna has a big warning not to do that. But there’s no other way to hold it that’s not incredibly awkward. But otherwise, I was pretty impressed. Despite a tiny keyboard, I could dial fine. And despite a tiny screen, I could see the screen fine. The picture I took seemed to come out okay, once I figured out that it was all black because my hand was covering the lens.<\/p>\n

Would I buy one? No way. But would I relentlessly mock someone who had one? Despite what I thought after seeing the commercials, no.<\/p>\n
