I received this in email the other day and thought I’d pass it on via the web.

Don’t know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses . The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers’ families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.

While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He ended up making a substantial donation to the Fisher House Foundation. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question I have is why does Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America trash and Denzel Washington’s Patriotism doesn’t even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio, TX?

I picked up a Nokia 6265i from the local Bluegrass Cellular Store last week.  So far, I’ll have to say I’m pretty impressed. 

I always told myself I would never get a slider phone, but once I used this one for a few minutes, it grew on me.  For most functions that do not require input, you can just leave the keypad slid away.  You can go into your last calls list and logs just using the main buttons on the top section of the slide which are the left/right option keys, call, end call, the 4 way directional pad, and the enter button in the middle of the pad. 

To make a call to someone not in the phonebook or logs, just slide it open, dial the number, then slide it closed (make sure your options allow the slide to close without hanging up, it was set that way default on mine).

The camera in it is 2 megapixel and produces 1600×1200 images.

Here is the first picture I took, in my car, on the way back to work.  Click for the original.

Overall the menu system sometimes seems a bit sluggish,  but everything works fine.

I give this device a 7.5 out of 10.  Battery life could be better as well as more accessories be available for it.

Here are the basic specs of the phone:

• Modes: AMPS 850 / CDMA 850 / CDMA 1900 carrier-dependent

• Dimensions: (Closed) 3.86″ x 1.89″ x 0.87″ (98 x 48 x 22 mm)
• Form Factor: Slide
• Battery Life Talk: 3.50 hours (210 minutes)
• Standby: 288 hours (12 days)
• Battery Type LiIon 1070 mAh
• Display Type: 240 x 320 pixels LCD (Color TFT/TFD) 262,144 colors (18-bit)
• Memory 23 MB (built-in), I added a 512mb Mini SD
