Cool

So I found this thread via Google while doing some research on the sleep cycle. Just curious about how you Delta international pilots COPE with all the time zone changes every-time you move from one continent to another. Does your body eventually go *** all the time and not care what time zone you're in? Even my school and regular work stuff is making my body go nocturnal shifting my regular wake/sleep schedule +3-6 hours and this is staying within a time zone. I assume you guys are used to it.

Nosmo King, Apple is rumored to make a dual-mode iPhone for Verizon in 2011. I really hope this is true... Knowing Apple it will probably have global capability from the start with dual CDMA and GSM/WCDMA radios for international roaming (like the current AT&T version with only GSM/WCDMA radios but with 4 of the frequency bands used in 99% of the world). Apple SIM-locking the iPhone in the US is retarded in my opinion with AT&T refusing to give the subsidy unlock code unless you start hacking it (jailbreak). (You can buy the iPhone SIM-unlocked in Canada and Europe/Asia). I guess this is more of a AT&T business model. Verizon's international roaming rates of $1.99/minute isn't too bad if you only use it for emergencies. (With the added advantage of a +1 US # working in 220 countries where VZW has signed voice/data roaming agreements). VZW also has global $65/month data roaming up to 5GB globally that can be added/removed. Similar with AT&T but I like VZW's US coverage better.

I still have my T-Mobile/O2 EU SIM card for prepaid voice/data that I swap my phone from and switch to GSM/WCDMA mode before I land in Europe. Similar DoCoMo one for Japan and a variety for Asia.
