The lure of sort-of affordable cellular internet has me wanting a 3g phone. The iphone is an obvious front-runner, but I'm not terribly happy with the degree of control that apple demands over them. Does anyone have recommendations for other 3g phones?
I want something that does;
Nice to haves;
I don't care about getting e-mail on my phone.
Any suggestions besides the iphone?
I want something that does;
- Web browsing (my current blackberry surprisingly does not)
- Calendaring, including syncing to the desktop. Though I suppose I could just do it live to yahoo calendar online if it came to it.
- Mp3 playing, because I need a backup device for when my ipod dies.
- A camera - doesn't have to be a good one, but I'm getting annoyed by not having a quick-n-dirty camera on hand.
- Bluetooth
Nice to haves;
- Voice dialling - the BB does this well, and I've gotten used to it.
- Wifi - because while I want the phone for the 3g internet, if I can get by without it...

macman47 gave me "Top Five Web sites"- Livejournal
- Environment Canada Weather
- I'd say Yahoo Calendar, but even those I use it, Google Calendar is far superior.
- The Pirate Bay. Dude, they tried to buy SeaLand.
- Facebook. It's actually pretty awful, but it has cool crap on it. At least it's not myspace.
Alternately;
- Not Always Right
- The Daily WTF
- io9Like Fleshbot, but for science fiction instead of porn.
- Feminism101
- QDB (better modding than Bash.org)

zingerella gave me "Top Five Black Foods" (which led me to the interesting cooking with colour)
zingerella gave me "Top Five Black Foods" (which led me to the interesting cooking with colour)- Licorice root extract. Ever had the raw stuff? Delicious, and sweet without calories.
- Beluga lentils. I love all lentils.
- Soya sauce. Sodium!
- Black beans. With garlic and, mmm...
- Black sesame paste. As seen inside dim sum!
- Squid ink gets an honorable mention, just for the squid.

- Blackbeard:
"Such a day, rum all out: Our company somewhat sober: A damned confusion amongst us! Rogues a-plotting: Great talk of separation so I looked sharp for a prize: Such a day found one with a great deal of liquor on board, so kept the company hot, damned hot; then all things went well again."
- Jack Sparrow: But why is the rum gone?
- Anne Bonny
- The Ghost Pirate LeChuck
Reply to this post and I will (eventually) respond with something for you to post your top five or ten of.
nuadha_prime asked for my Top Five Goth Bands.
Old; Joy Division technically pre-dates goth, and SoM, Bauhaus and The Cure have all stated that they aren't and never were goth. Which is sooooo goth.
New; The line between goth and EBM/"cyber" has gotten pretty blurry...
And a special award goes to The Swans for being the most bleakly depressing band of all time.

- The Birthday Massacre
- Abney Park (steampunk darlings, yes, but they sound like a goth band to me)
- Ayria
- Bella Morte (blurring over into punk/nu-metal, but they wearenough eyeliner to rank as goth in my book)
- The Cruxshadows

I'm giving serious consideration to getting my hair done all fancy like by a professional, instead of doing my own bad dye job. My hair's getting a little longer than I generally like it, and I'd like to go somewhere and tell them "do something funky with bright colours that doesn't clash with the beard, and cut it so I can wear it spiky" and have them do something nifty.
Any suggestions where I'd go for such a thing? I assume I'll need an appointment - I figure I can go get it done next Friday during the day.

After almost missing Heroes this season, I'm wondering what else is going on on TV that I don't know about. Zil and I pretty much only watch House and NCIS regularly, and rarely channel surf.
So - what are your five favourite TV shows right now?
