   It's highly unusual for you, Jolly Roger, to post to any thread sans   
   hateful vitriol against the poster, so, it's refreshing to see you bring up   
   what appears to be a more adult point of view than you normally display -   
   and - not aimed at the poster of the thread itself but having something to   
   do with the content.   
      
   It's a fair enough assertion of yours that the phone make and model doesn't   
   matter, even as the technology the guy used was the same technology that   
   trapped him - which is the same technology he used to create a video -   
   where all he talked about was technology (of the bombs).   
      
   I found it very strange that the police characterized his confession as a   
   discussion about the bombs, where it seems oddly technical for someone who   
   was killing innocent people.   
      
   The information you have comes from a blog he wrote apparently for a school   
   project, where many have said that this information is being taken out of   
   context since it was a required assignment for his schoolwork.   
      
   Apparently, the news, hungry for details, is dredging up whatever it can,   
   but as yet, the news hasn't dredged up the make and model of the technology   
   he used that ended up pinpointing his location. Yet.   
      
   > That's really all we need to know.   
      
   It's fair enough that you only wish to know what his reasoning was for   
   killing those people, while I wish to know what model of phone he used   
   since that phone is what killed him (among other mistakes he made).   
      
   The phone was traced to the Home Depot, to the Fryes, to the FedEx Depot,   
   and finally, to his hiding place at an obscure roadside motel which caused   
   his demise.   
      
   He was apparently smart enough to elude police for a while, where he had to   
   know that irking a state-sponsored adversary is almost impossible to   
   overcome, so it's with amazement that it's obvious that he didn't know the   
   first thing about the trackability of cellphone technology.   
      
   NOTE: It could be that he /wanted/ to get caught; but I suspect that isn't   
   the case since his confession apparently said that he'd go into a fast-food   
   place and blow himself up if he thought the police were on to him. So I'm   
   going to assume he didn't want to get caught when he used his phone at all   
   those places.

   Jolly Roger,   
   You make an adult point here but which is unrelated to the question which   
   is posed of the cellphone related newsgroups. For any other newsgroup, like   
   alt.politics, or alt.law.enforcement, etc., his /motive/ would be very   
   important.   
      
   But his motive isn't the point here, although I do respect your opinion,   
   and, I even agree with you, that in terms of importance, his motive is far   
   more important to society as a whole, than the technology that brought him   
   down.   
      
   However, this newsgroup is about cellphone technology, is it not?   
      
   Hence, the cellphone technology he used is of importance, especially since   
   it is directly (and indirectly) what caused his demise.

   Ah. I responded to this post line by line, where I had been heretofore   
   utterly shocked that this was, I had thought, your first post ever that   
   didn't attack the poster.   
      
   You had been acting like an adult until that last sentence.   
      
   And then you fell instantly into your hate-filled vitriolic diatribes   
   against the poster merely for asking a simple question.   
      
   Q: What make/model phone did the bomber use (which is what killed him)?
