2nd day with the new Blackberry Curve 8530. Testing PB uploads and PB to SMF posting to see what kind of speed this thing can pull compared to my DSL router.
The makings of a wicked storm, as I witnessed from about 25 miles away...this was the afternoon of May 27, 2010, located in S/W Campbell County, WY...this storm continued north through the city of Gillette, as I recall:

The remnants as I crossed behind the storm's path...I drove on hail covered roads for over 8 miles:

A calm and serene moment later that evening:

Fortunately for us, this storm missed my current home-town...we survived one tornado back in 2005, and believe me, one's enough.
Well, no complaints on the Blackberry Curve for use as a internet modem...stays right on top of things nicely, and more reliable than my DSL "high speed" (not) modem/router.
Take care, and keep those smokers happy, all!
