...needs, I was less happy with its desktop-type instant-messaging options. Unless you use MSN, you have to download a third-party application such as Agile Messenger, which is still buggy. T-Mobile pre-loads a solid messaging application in its newest smartphone, the SDA, and I wish Verizon did the same. For the most part, all third-party products that benefit the SDA, such as ALK's CoPilot Live 6 GPS navigation system, will also benefit...

The Republican Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, said he'd subpoena the heads of the three telecommunications companies involved - AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth - before hearings to find out what they knew. Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein, who had kind words about former NSA head Gen. Michael Hayden when he was nominated to be the new CIA boss on Monday, talked ominously about a "showdown" over the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unlawful search...
