For your cellphone i suggest looking to the HTC S710. Its a candy-bar/slider smartphone. it runs Windows Mobile 6.0, and is a GSM phone. Its pretty nice though. It gets aprox. 8 hours talk time. And to my suprise gets better ratings then the Verizon EnV.

Anyways… you can pick there up online for as low as about $250.

Haha Evan if I was you I woulda turned this post into a spoof of the other guys with all the shiny gadgets and named a bunch of outdated or completely useless products that never became popular. That woulda been hilarious!

Alan – I think right now my options are only Dell and HP, due to my geographical situation.

/me suggests going with an Asus

Why? They’re a primary manufacturer, and their own-brand computers tend to be pretty nice for the price. I’m holding out on buying a laptop to see what the Asus F8s will be like when the computer finally comes out, as the specs haven’t even been officially released yet. The build quality on Asus’ own-brand laptops and stuff seems to be good, and they do the manufacturing for Apple and HP, among others. Anyway, check it out.

Besides that, I see no problem with your tech stockpiles. It’s how you use them, anyway.

@Evan

I will admit I am a technology whore… let it be known I didn’t own a computer (or even have one in my house) until I was a Junior in High School (2001). The computer made it till I graduated said High School (2002) and used all of my “Congrats/Graduation” money to buy a Sony Vaio (now my 2Ghz server). And that computer made it all the way through College (2005ish).

However after landing a few good paying gigs since then my technology life has gotten very…. slutty (for lack of a better word).
