i'm interested, as indeed this may very well be the best game of the year - but i'm not about to pay $45 for a ticket. what kind of institutional/group deal is that? once i look at my march budget, i might be willing to pay the $35 lowest current price for tix to this game on nba.com - sure they're nosebleed, but do we know whether rackham's aren't? my disclaimer: i'm a huge cavs fan (and a vocal one) p.s. thanks for getting this wiki going, Libby!

I have seen the iPhone. It is really cool and all. But it just doesn't quite make the cut. I would really wait for the next version of the iPhone. There seem to be some really cool phones by Helio (Windows Mobile) and Nokia (N series). The Sony Ericsson phones are really good - but they are not smartphones. So you can not really install any custom software on them.

Is there another page that could be created for SI students that are looking for roommates and some kind of interaction happening there? The reason I ask is because I am trying to arrange for housing for Fall/Winter terms and will be out of state until then.

Are you feeling down in the dumps because you just lost a job or you’ve been unemployed for months? Well inspiration comes in the form of an 18 ounce dog. If Dancer, who is possibly the world’s smallest dog, could overcome his struggles then you can too! Learn how you can get off that couch and get back in the employment game with a little motivation from Dancer and Career Creature.

I keep a blog about career service related information -- I blog about trends, resources, and occassionally have a "guest blogger' to talk about their internship search experience or something. I also post employer feedback. What I don't post are events or jobs. We're the one of the only career services office in the country to have a blog like this! I am going to post information about United Nations internships soon! You can find me at http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/sicareers/

Nokia and 3G

If you want everything except 3G (including GPS), look at the Nokia N and E series, particularly the N95, which is more media-based, and the E90, which is more business oriented. All of these phones can be purchased unlocked (usable with AT&T and T-Mobile), and you can play with them if you stop at the Nokia store in Chicago. All Nokia smartphones use the Symbian OS, which is fairly stable and reliable. If you want an unlocked Windows Mobile Smartphone, look at the HTC offerings (S720 and Touch).
The downside is that AT&T uses a different band for 3G than the rest of the world, so these phones won't work with AT&T's 3G network (you will be stuck with EDGE). To get a phone that works on AT&T's 3G network, you will have to purchase a phone from them. If you go that route, the 8525 (aka HTC TyTN) is probably your best bet. It does run Windows Mobile, which has quite a bit of software available, but in general is less stable than Symbian.

I missed the original email that suggested this site. Sorry.
Yeah, Satyendra, I forgot about all of this as well:
"The iphone lacks 3G support. It uses the slower EDGE network.
other things you might miss:
MMS.
Video recording.
Custom ringtones.
Mass storage.
Fully functioning Bluetooth with stereo audio streaming
I'm assuming Apple will be able to address at least some of these with the net software upgrade you if you really want an iphone you might want to wait a little.

It would be nice to have a page that lists rooms for rent and books or other items for sale related to the SI community. Essentially, take the concept of the Marketplace for the entire UM community and create the same just for SI.

I opened a page called "SI Marketplace". I wasn't sure which categories to include, so I just threw a couple on there. I know there was a housing email the other day, and I thought about putting that info up. I didn't know if putting that info on a public site was really my place.
