                                      <br>
                                      I went to DMV about a year ago to
                                      update my title after paying off
                                      my car.  I had to wait over an
                                      hour.  DMV charges for the service

                                      has reduced the number of people
                                      assisting customers due to budget
                                      constraints.  I also suspect that

                                                    hold and work with,
                                                    and it is very fast.
                                                    The battery i get an

                                                    the camera is fast,

                                                    and the screen is
                                                    amazing... yes i did

                                                          Hi,<br>
                                                          <br>
                                                          I'm thinking
                                                          about making
                                                          the move to a
                                                          smart phone. 
                                                          I am looking
                                                          at the DROID
                                                          DNA by HTC
                                                          that Verizon
                                                          is offering
                                                          for $199.<br>
                                                          <br>
                                                          I am
                                                          interested in
                                                          a smart phone
                                                          because I
                                                          would like to
                                                          use it to take
                                                          pictures,
                                                          capture video,
                                                          and edit
                                                          video, so I
                                                          can manage my
                                                          blog and
                                                          social media. 
                                                          I might even
                                                          use it as a
                                                          phone.<br>
                                                          <br>
                                                          As an example
                                                          usage:  I went
                                                          to DMV about a
                                                          year ago to
                                                          update my
                                                          title after
                                                          paying off my
                                                          car.  I had to
                                                          wait over an
                                                          hour.  DMV
                                                          charges for
                                                          the service
                                                          they provide. 
                                                          I suspect the
                                                          state has
                                                          reduced the
                                                          number of
                                                          people
                                                          assisting
                                                          customers due
                                                          to budget
                                                          constraints. 
                                                          I also suspect
                                                          that the DMV
                                                          turns a profit
                                                          and if so that
                                                          money needs to
