...phone is not a RAZR clone. It's just as slim and, like the hot Samsung a900 Blade for Sprint, it owes much of its appeal to Motorola's revolutionary handset. But a clone is an imitation, often a pale one. My instinct is that what Motorola started with the RAZR, other companies mean to finish. The CU500 - the first phone to tap into Cingular's new "High-Speed Downlink Packet Access" (HSDPA) network - is next in a stream of upcoming slim and powerful cell phones...
Despite its record of violence, Hizballah enjoys broad appeal among Lebanese.

She also has a history of saying outrageous things, like telling the Observer newspaper that she sold the illegal drug ecstasy...
...voice has never really mattered in popular music. Really, her great gift is that she has a terrific set of ears. She listens to what's going on at the avant-garde edge and has an uncanny ability to recognize bits that, in a different context, could have mainstream appeal. Think about "Hung Up"; it's a 5:37 marathon of a song, the kind of thing that shouldn't work outside of a dance club. But keeping in mind that pop listeners are used to time-released thrills every 30 seconds or so - you know, hooks - she's thrown...
