...past few weeks, I've been wondering who is winning the video cell-phone battle between Sprint and Verizon Wireless. Which one serves up better content? The last time I tested services, Sprint had not yet introduced its EV-DO network, and the new Power Vision service that runs on that network. Now that it has, and now that both carriers have video downloads as well as full-fledged music stores, I grabbed an LG VX8100 V Cast phone from Verizon and the sweet, slender Samsung a900 Power Vision phone from Sprint, and set out to pick a winner...

I also like how the V Cast video playback is easy to pause and resume. Sprint's controls are non-existent...

Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction...
