I should have sent an email to engadget earlier

- its DPA - wich stands for "deutsche presse agentur" (~german press/news agency) - and not data protection agency ....

(i'm not 100% sure, but i've never heard of a Daten Beschützungs agentur, which would be your take on DPA vaguely translated to german ;) )

Just stop saying audis are rebadged VW. That's just ridiculous compared to what e.g. GM does/did.

does it "support" 2 audio outputs? if not - useless ...

Have had 3 Sony Ericssons in a row (t610i, w810i, t650i) but my next phone is certainly not going to be one ... very sad ...

to clarify things (I'm from germany)

you can get this phone for 20 euros/month WITHOUT a contract! wich means, you'll be paying 481€ in the end and you can stay with your provider!

e.g.: you're currently with t-mobile, paying 80euros a month and you buy this phone from O2, then you'll pay 100 euros a month but your provider still is t-mobile ;)

plus, i think you can "pay off" parts of the fee at once, e.g. you get a ton of cash for christmas, so you give o2 200 euros and then the contract will run 10 months less. pretty nice i'd say.

you really don't trust your dealers ... eh ;D

The "green" part of this is, that this only applies on new cars that conform newest european emission standards...

but i hope they'll release a study of how many foreign cars are bought through this incentive..

have you seen the top gear 1 gallon race? there, the r8 raced far superior powered race cars and kept up with ease! (of course it won the challenge, as it has the smallest engine) but just because a car is not overpowered, it might still be competible!

ok, sorry for doublepost, but:

ramp up production? sure, it would make those who are buing now happy, but in a year or so, there'll be no waiting list anymore, audi would be pumping out too many r8's and it's status would go from "so hot you have to wait a year" to "audi r8? nah i'll rather get on the waiting list for a smart!" ...

plus, in germany you can't just hire workers and then fire them when "the job is done".

27 a month? .. more like a day ;)
