To a Manhattanite, a trip to rural Mississippi is probably a greater culture shock than a trip to Barcelona. Visiting a destitute, third-world country is admirable and even comes off as “slumming chic” to wealthy Americans, but a visit to the poorest conditions in the U.S. might hit too many of our nation’s “well-traveled” intellectual...

The carrier launched it this week, along with a big brother, the MDA Pocket PC. Both phones run versions of Windows Mobile 5.0, though the SDA is no larger than a typical candy-bar phone. Like standard phones, it has no touch screen ? you operate it with buttons; unlike standard phones, it has an HTML browser, can juggle...
