If the iPhone becomes available through Verizon, I'll consider it. In the meantime, I'm going to find out how my friends like the Droid before I upgrade next year.

Not possible without a major redesign. The iPhone is a GSM phone; Verizon has a CDMA network.

WARNING: Stoopid person asking stoopid question - Is "EDGE" a "network" in the same manner as "GSM" and "CDMA"? When I'm in rural areas, my Berry goes from EDGE to GSM. Even when I'm in EDGE, I cannot navigate ArbiterSports.com.

No, EDGE is 2G and contrasts with 3G. Both GSM and CDMA can operate in 2G or 3G (or, soon, 4G).

Hope that helps!

But do you have to wear those special glasses to operate it?

Mark Padgett: Do those X-Ray glasses really work? When I was a kid I always saw them advertised in the back of comic books. I remember ripping the advertisement page out of an Action Comics #1 (June 1938). The comic was about some guy who dressed up in tights, and wore a cape. I knew that it would never become popular, so I threw it out after I read it.

I'd be interested in hearing feedback you get about the Droid. I've heard nothing about it in terms of running the Arbiter.

Neither have I, as I don't have any friends that fit both categories. Next time I see my youngest brother, I'll steal his phone and log in to Arbiter and let you know.

I haven't been able to log into the Arbiter using the default browser on my Moto Droid. I can get in using Opera Mini 5 on the Droid and it works fine. I just wish I didn't have to install a third party browser only for this purpose. Maybe the 2.1 Android push that Verizon is pushing this week will alleviate my issue. We'll see.

They were called "X-RAY SPECS".

If you really want to still get all that stuff, try these guys. I've bought stuff from them for years. You can get on their catalog mailing list, too. It's really cool.

Yeah. What kid wouldn't enjoy seeing a Johann Sebastian Bach Acton Figure under the tree on Christmas morning? Does he come with Kung Fu grip?
