No trying to detract from your greater point, which I agree with, but...

T-Mobile sells the Nokia Nuron, which runs Symbian S60 and has 3G, subsidized.

You can also get phones directly from Nokia (or from non-carrier stores - even Fry's has them) that work on AT&T's 3G, and a couple that even work on T-Mobile's 3G.

None of them are advertised as "Symbian phones", though, just as "smartphones".

Rails May Not Suck 160

Posted by timothy on Thursday January 10, 2008 @05:48PM from the isn't-the-question-whether-rails-suck dept.

KDan writes "With astonishing regularity, articles or posts come out claiming that the popular Ruby on Rails framework sucks in some way or another. People complain that Rails isn't as easy to deploy as PHP, that Rails just didn't do it for project XYZ. They range from the articulate and well thought out to the frankly inane and stupid (and wrong). Recently, there's also of course been the spectacular nuclear rant by Zed Shaw, which was more a rant against random elements of the community than against Rails, but was still presented as a rant against Rails. Here's an article that tries to put some perspective on why these opinions are irrelevant to whether or not Rails sucks."

While I do agree that MusicBrainz is superior, it's still lacking a single field in the track information: whether the track is an audio track or a data track. I don't think adding a boolean field to their database would have been that difficult. :-)

(And no, this doesn't count. And I know CDDB doesn't have that info either.)
