44:28
It’s a sad day in the Dialed In studio, with our beloved Nicole announcing that she’s leaving us to break new ground over at TWiT.

“Howdy, Do you think there will be news on a sequel to the Samsung Sidekick 4G anytime soon? Perhaps at CES?”–Jerry
“Dear DialedIn, I currently own an iPhone4, but I desperately want a physical keyboard.
I read that the Blackberry 9370 (new curve) should be coming to Verizon soon. My only holdout is Navigation. Can you confirm if there is a release date for the 9370 on Verizon, and what the Navigation options are for Blackberry?” –Steven
“I own a Motorola Android 2 global. I do not need constant access to email or web anymore and would like to save the $30 monthly charge from Verizon. Can I do the following? 1. Buy a cheap text/voice phone with no data charge for my Verizon account; 2. Disable but continue to use the Motorola Android 2 global on WIFI to check email, surf, etc.” –Bill
