Now this is just stupid. From the i330 owners manual:
Can I make calls and use PCS Vision Services at the same time? You cannot use voice and data services simultaneously. If you receive a call while the data service is active, the call will be forwarded into voicemail. You can place an outgoing call at any time, but it will interrupt any in-progress data session.
I wonder if this is a brokeness of the CDMA chipset or the CDMA protocol.

Finally SprintPCS got a palm based phone with CDMA 1xRTT: the i330 Amazon won’t let you add phones to your wishlist, but should anyone have $500 to drop on a present for me, you can still give me a christmas present.
This is really a general purpose computer masked as a moble phone with high speed data access. It’s like we’re living in the future!
It has a camera and keyboard options, so don’t forget to get me those as well. Maybe I don’t need a laptop!

So the new version of Netscape will have Mozilla’s popup blocking except…
Users that activate the pop-up suppression on the latest version of Netscape will find that a number of sites have been excluded from the block. Seven of these 15 exceptions relate to sites that belong to AOL Time Warner, including aol.com, aim.com and cnn.com. However, the consumer has the option of removing the exceptions and applying a blanket ban on pop-up ads.
What cowards.
