No, they don't. They are nerdy by biological association or through marriage. :-D

All through marriage, technically (the kids are stepchildren). Poor people, absorbing my geekiness through association. But they're all very happy with their phones, so I guess it's not all bad. :-D

they need to be doing something
Interestingly, just this morning I read that MS will be paying Nokia $240US/phone, thereby enabling the carriers to offer phones with higher-end hardware specs at bargain basement prices. The article suggested that the Lumia 900 will debut at AT&T for $99. No word on when a Verizon version of the NOK phone(s) would appear. While price is a key component of the equation, there is no buzz among consumers and certainly no push from the Verizon reps I encountered. Without some consumer buzz or some carrier push, or both, I fear the brand will languish. I already got caught in the Zune player discontinuation fiasco when that offering languished - don't want a repeat on the phone front

I thoroughly love my Zune HD, though I'm not using it at this time. Its interface is part of the reason I was so excited about WP7 when it was announced. I'm not using it these days because I've started using Zune on my phone. The only problem there is that I don't have enough storage on the phone for all of my music, so I have to compromise there.

Amen to that. I think Microsoft, along with the device manufacturers, need to be doing something with the carriers to get their salespeople to actually sell these devices instead of ignoring or disparaging them. Maybe we'll start to see that with Nokia.

Indeed. I'd recommend you shout that from the front page of the lounge all day long, but it might get us into trouble.
