GRRRR

Just been the victim of some spammer using my email address to send spam, just received over 100 email bounceback messages. How long as email been around now? I fail to see why we haven't come up with a solution for this yet.

I will buy and use a Gphone, if....

  1. the service really is free. Has anyone done any studies that a purely advertiser supported model will really work? I mean I believe the costs are too high and someone would have to kick in something for the service
  2. it surfed the internet fast and could render almost every page. neither my blackberry nor my treo can do that
  3. it let me use it as a bluetooth modem for my laptop
  4. it had push email like my blackberry

Like most stuff Google does, it gets a ton of hype but in the end, other than ads and relevancy, it kinda blows. I've used almost everything they offered at one point or another and the only service i still use is search. Everything else is better elsewhere.
