What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
The number of emails that I receive from companies asking me to review their products has really increased lately. I guess I should take that as a sign that Noobie is making a name for itself in the Internet world. For all of the obvious reasons, I can't review every product or service sent my way but every once in a while someone will send me something that stands out from the others.

I shouldn't have had to figure out this workaround but I did. It has to do with a glaring flaw on my HTC Thunderbolt smart phone.
