BREAKING NEWS: New Smartphone from Orange (Oct 10 2003 05:02 GMT) - The news just broke that Orange is going to carry a third Microsoft Smartphone, the SPV E200. The E200, which is built by HTC, is actually the SPV 2 that we first heard about over the summer, just with a different name. And as suspected, it's essentially the same as the SPV E100, but with a few improvements like integrated Bluetooth, a built-in digital camera, and the new 2003 version of the Smartphone operating system.

And Did You Know That Frank Sinatra Lent Him the $10,000 to Pay His Fine? (Oct 10 2003 05:01 GMT) - !He began his political life as a liberal Democrat and ended it as a law-and-order Republican who pleaded no contest to charges of tax fraud. He once called the media "nattering nabobs of negativism" and found a political base with both social conservatives and what would later be called Reagan Democrats. Richard Nixon selected him as his running-mate in both 1968 and 1972.

Fans of the famous dub master Laswell won't mind, but those individuals who enjoy listening to Gigi (Ejigayehu Shibabaw) will be disappointed to say the least. |
