| − | This describes an example how to surf via [[UMTS]] under Linux. The example has been done on 2012-02-10 in Germany with the otelo SurfStick in the Vodaphone network on SUSE Linux 11.4.. It may work same or similar with another hardware, distribution, phone network or country. Here are the steps I took after buying:
| + | (Wireless Phone Accessory) I uhgbot it just 2 weeks ago. I uhgbot it especially for its Super AMOLED screen. But you should know that before buying: There is actually 2 kinds of Nexus S: i9020 (i9020a i9020t) and i9023 i9023 is the european version or non-USA/UK version. It has S-LCD screen. Worse colors, worse black. google it and check example photos (I found some on flickr) Super LCD variant is unable to display black color, it's just dark grey. More vivid colors are provided by Super AMOLED screen of i9020 variant. As far as I know, this is the only difference. If you want to root your phone, it is important again. Apart that, This is another perfect phone by Google (despite Samsung). |

| − | You know the whole thing about Avatar's story as being done before is aulcatly kind of a lame criticism. Yeah, similar stories have been told, so it's not like it broke any story telling barriers but let's face it, there are literally, what, a dozen or so (18, if I remember correctly) different types of stories in the world (by this I mean; man versus God, man versus nature, man versus man, etc.) Despite this there are still thousands of stories are in existence. Take Romeo and Juliette- that story is everywhere but with different characters, slightly different plots and slightly different endings. Guy likes girl, guy loses girl then maybe happy ending or maybe sad ending; depending on the writer, culture, moral lesson to be learned, etc. A handful of stories turned into thousands- the point here folks, is that it's not the story itself but the journey the reader/ watcher/ listener sees/ hears/imagines. And no, I'm not saying you have to like Avatar, you can hate it or love it as much as you want but don't hate it or love it JUST because of the story is like any other thing out there. There are after all some stories that don't click well for some people and by the same token there are some stories that click well with others.
