I have the same model cell phone from a Canadian phone company and an American phone company. They have slightly different firmware and a difference I notice often is the message when I turn off the ringer. The Canadian purchased phone says 'Etiquette mode on' and the American phone says 'Silencer on'. These create some very different mental images for me: <img src="/images/phone-and-gun-etiquette.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto;margin-right:auto;" alt="Etiquette book and guns with silencers"/> 2008-08-16T02:40:00-04:00 7 true 2008-08-16T03:04:06-04:00 cultural-differences
