Once again with Intercept. I tried many times to buy online through Virgin mobile web site but every time I press "order" the site gives me this warning "The purchase cannot be completed with this card. Use another card." I used 2 other credit cards but they are all rejected. I gave up. Then I found Best Buy site lists this phone. I bought it through the Best Buy web site with store pickup on October 29. I received an email next day saying the phone is ready for pick up today.

I purchase Samsung Intercept from Bestbuy for $240. I am using it as Wifi only Android device. There is no need to activate to use it. Finally I have an Android device that not tied to a single telephone contract.

I just bought Asus UL20A-A1 and it is very good. Very light and very fast. I don't like Windows 7 so as soon as I created 4 Restore DVDs I installed Windows XP. All the XP drivers are downloadable from ASUS web site. Now I have a very fast, slim and light laptop. I just wish it had HDMI port and a little better design. That would have made this the best laptop. Cons: Chiclets key just like Macbook - I hate it Key layout - Page Up and Down are located in place of Enter Mouse buttons - hard to press, External mouse is a must Lack of HDMI port
