LG Renoir gets tortured, lives to tell about it
That LG Renoir, it sure is one tough cookie!

AT&T posts lackluster Q4 2008 financials despite iPhone 3G successes
The iPhone 3G has been a boon for the second-largest US wireless carrier. With over 4.3 million iPhone 3G activations since it’s launch, the iPhone 3G has brought in more than its fair share of subscribers and new revenue to AT&T coffers.
