Reportedly available now (with purchase of a new pc), Glass-paned-openings Xtra Pretentious x63.5 edition should be able to crash your system faster than ever before. Although there is some goofy trade-in program for current owners of the non-64bit version of the cripplified os, the product will not (yet?) be sold in retail stores. Cnet details their underwhelming experience in this review.

After contemplating defection to a GSM network with greater flexibility (intl roaming, etc) and better handsets, we have reluctantly signed another Verizon contract. Verizon does not carry any phones that I was excited about, but the sad fact is that their coverage area is tough to beat, and their rates simply cannot be beat. Our 5-way shareplan brings each phone to less than $20/month - nationwide no-roaming, unlimited mobile-mobile (which covers ~95% of the airtime we use), etc.
