iPhone (and any AT&T phone) cannot make or receive calls at my office in San Francisco while (non-AT&T) Android phones work great. For me, the primary test for "better phone functionality" is how many places I can be and succesfully

What's not obvious at first about vim is that its power (somewhat like unix) comes from orthogonality. Since you can combine any operator with any movement command, the number of commands that you know is the product of the number of operat
