As to manly phones for real men, I must be by definition a real whimp.
I've worked for Vodafone, China Telecoms, Optus, IBM and
Hutchison/Ericcson putting in systems such as 3G, mobile TV, MMS, etc.

No wait a minute - I might know that technology but I still prefer a
basic Nokia with just talk and text - no extras. I may be a man after
all.

I am glad that the real man in all of this lives in America. If he was
near me I'd be really afraid - and he has the constitutional right to
carry a firearm. In New Zealand or Australia we don't give gun
licences to his kind. We've already had a couple of massacres.

I don't use any weapon as an offensive weapon. The weapons I own are for
the application of deadly force in defensive mode. I am highly trained
in the martial arts and specialize in Gatka which is a weapons-based art
of unsurpassed lethality Woe be to him who challenges me with sword,
knife or club. But, for the defensive application of lethal force out of
the range of hand-to hand combat, few things beat a large caliber
handgun. There's little challenge and not much art to it but for lethal
force it's hard to beat.

My Gawd! I am being stalked. Please do not tell him where Trinidad is.

That's precisely why we don't give firearms licences to the likes of
this man.

In Malaysia where being in possession of an unlicenced firarm carries
the automatic death penalty, Prevention Customs officers (as opposed
to Revenue) are issued with a 9mm pistol and trained in its use as
well as our other weapons, the GPMG, M-16 and SMG. Even though these
men (and women) are often shot at on duty and have no compunction to
shoot and kill should they be fired upon, which happens quite
frequently in the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea, I have
met not a single one of my colleagues who has this Gung Ho attitude.
We want cool headed people.

Wilbur you scare me. One evening I met someone like you at the Cape
Verde Islands. I noticed an un-manned inflatable drifting past my boat
and, knowing that it belonged to an American registered yacht upwind
of my position. I duly towed it back to him in my dinghy. As I
approached and called out the boat's name, upon coming to its side I
was presented with a pump action shotgun one foot from my face with a
verbal threat - :"freeze!!!"

It was not at all nice, and I had neglected to bring clean underwear.

Frankly, in plain Aus-speak I say "**** your right to believe you can
shoot another human being if you feel threatened".

Look on the list of carriers selling it. This is the replacement phone

Thanks for for the update Larry. I have been meaning to Skype you,

BTW, who is this Wibur dude...

Bruce... He is thought to be the infamous Captain Neal Warren
that plied the troubled seas over at the A.S.A. news group (alt.
sailing.asa) for many years.

Enough said...? (smile)

He was originally a postman, until they wised up and ran him off.
Claims he sails a modest, mustard yellow sailboat with purple interior.
He has to keep 'cruising/gunkholing' beause no self respecting yacht
club/marina wants him tied up at their slips.
