Dude, send me questions anytime you want and I will totally answer them! info@marknicholas.org .

I hear ya about the AT+T thing. It happened to work out for me since I had Cingular already and the service had always been fine. So when my old phone died, I figured, what the hell? Wish my old phone had waited another month to die now, though.

The battery thing on iPods... never really bothered me. I think that people want a new one before the batteries die, for the most part. And if you really want it replaced, Apple will do it for like $60. But I doubt most anyone does... by the time it actually dies, you probably want the way cooler newer iPods, ya know?

The ringtone thing is extremely retarded. I was just watching Attack of the Show, though, and one dude made a semi-good point that I hadn't considered. A lot of mp3 ringtones from the cell companies are $2.99 and $3.99. This is still cheaper. Still bullshit if you already own the song, but less bullshit than what the cell companies make you pay, I suppose.

I'm still hacking mine, though. I'll do it this weekend when I can spend some time doing it right.
