Do you see this a lot on your iPhone 3G? While downtown for the fireworks the other day, got to experience this error many times personally. In talking with others, it seems that if you live/work in downtown Vancouver, you probably see it a lot. Is this due to Rogers having insufficient network bandwidth as…
I was going to call this post “It’s been One Week…” but in light of the recent issues Barenaked Ladies frontman, Steven Paige is having, I decided to go for something else instead. I’m not going to do a ‘full’ review since that’s been done to death already. I thought I’d share some of my…
