...your car radio. Cingular's MobiRadio program is there, however a warning at launch says you should subscribe to an unlimited data plan if you want to use the 40-channel streaming radio service (which itself is $9.99 per month). The CU500's Bluetooth wireless system lets you connect to wireless headphones, a feature found on only the latest phones. It's fun to connect a wireless stereo headset (sold separately), although in my experience, the sound quality of full-sized MP3 files is better with the old-fashioned wired earbuds that come...

...Muslims, Americans who flirt at some level with radicalism. They get caught when they try to get training, weapons or, as was apparently the case in Florida, when they reach out, however ham-handedly, to a larger network. "Anyone who forms their own little group and then tries to connect with al-Qaeda is more likely to run into government agents than al-Qaeda agents," says John Nutter, a terrorism expert and professor at the University of Toledo. "Clearly our government is watching those types of contacts...
