The mythical G702 “BeiBei” is one of those phones that feels like it’s released, although it’s not, simply because it’s been scooped into oblivion on countless occasions at this point. Heck, it’s not even announced yet. But, you know, if there was anything else you still needed to know about this touchscreen UIQ-based candybar, look no further than YouTube, where a brief Sony Ericsson-produced promotional video for the G702 has surfaced. We see a few seconds of the stylus in action, and that’s about it; anyone left wanting more is probably going to have to wait until June 17, when it appears the company will be throwing an event in Amsterdam. It’s presumed that the G702 will be announced here, possibly alongside the Paris — though we’re well accustomed to disappointment, so we’re going to try to keep our toyed-with emotions in check here until we see something official.

There isn’t enough room on my DVR, not remotely. I don’t even watch that much Television, but my hard drive is small. Sure, there are ways to hack them to make them more massive but I like to do right by my TOS agreements, so I don’t. But now that Hitachi has released the 500GB CinemaStar 3.5-inch HDDs, I’m considering it.

They’re made to run quiet, specifically for devices like set-top boxes. You want to hear Kate and Jack argue about Locke, not your hard drive spinning. The drives are also low-power and feature CoolSpin, which means it spins up faster when activated. That gets you your Television faster.

They ship in June, and at that point I’m going to have to think about upgrading my DVR or just admitting I’ll never get caught up on Galactica.
