As one with impaired hearing, I would like a gadget that I can somehow connect or attach to my cell phone so that a loud audible alarm sounds when a call comes in. Is there such a product on the market? Any ideas for building one? How about sounding the alarm when an email message is received...

Are BlueWire antennas <fundementally> different from other tv antennas? Where can I read up on them? Am I wrong in understanding that a BlueWire antenna will let me receive MSNBC, say, over the air -- even though that normally requires a COMCAST or VERIZON cable subscription to receive it?

When instructions say "Point the antenna toward the tower." what do they mean? Have the plane of the extendable arms be perpendicular to the line-of-site to the tower? Or some other configuration? Thanks.

Thank you all. ...wdc

The keyboard on my LG 620 is too small for me, making inputting data difficult. Are there apps I can get that present better (larger) keyboards? How can I have my LG620 keyboard <always> appear in landscape mode, without regard to the unit's orientation?

I am thinking about dropping COMCAST and reverting to a TV Converter Box. Is there a site that explains the limitations of Converter Boxes? I assume a Converter will allow me to get all the "big" commercial channels like NBC, CBS, and Fox, right? What about PBS, MSNBC, C-Span? Thanks. ...wdc
