I’m confused. Is it a GSM phone or isn’t it. What happens to my old SIM? Is my old SIM still live on my phone number? What if I ever get to travel overseas?
It also appears that the iPhone does not support Games.…

If you’re like me you probably have a half dozen little tags hanging from your keyring so you can get discounts at places like Kroger’s and Border’s Books.

The filter also can generate an iFrame with a graph. Here’s a sin(x) sample:
[graph]sin(x)[/graph]
