Nokia 6590i Phone

I replaced my old Nokia 5160 with one of these last month. Great phone. Unlike most things I buy, I did no research before I went into the store - just asked the salesman which cell phones were compatible with my Nokia power adaptors, and picked the smallest.



This phone also has a great FM radio, which I listen to while walking to the train in the morning.

Al Gore's NYU Speech

MoveOn.org: Democracy in Action: " Robust debate in a democracy will almost always involve occasional rhetorical excesses and leaps of faith, and we're all used to that. I've even been guilty of it myself on occasion. But there is a big difference between that and a systematic effort to manipulate facts in service to a totalistic ideology that is felt to be more important than the mandates of basic honesty. " - Al Gore, August 7th, 2003.
