I know people who do pick their phone due to the custom skin it comes with. I've heard many people say good things about the HTC Sense UI, although I don't care much for it myself. Custom skins provides a way for manufactures to different

Facebook isn't evil. Perhaps they're a bit naïve, thinking that storing all this data is ok, but it might not be. Whenever Max' story comes up, someone usually comments that using Facebook is completely voluntarily, and people should just n
