.COM
I've been dancing around aquiring the mobileresearch.com domain for about a year and a half. Right now we are mobileresearch.net . The .com domain was being held by BuyDomains and they had it listed as a Premium domain (read expensive). So I was waiting for it to expire in July with hopes that they wouldn't renew. Unfortunately they did. So I was planning on contesting it with ICANN (which costs $1700) after I trademarked "Mobile Research" post launch of the product. Well it turns out that BuyDomains started listing prices next to available domains and they had mobileresearch.com listed for $1180 . Sold American! So I bought it yesterday and today it's live and pointing at my DNS. So we now have mobileresearch.com just in time for our launch next week. W0ot!

Excellent, nice work. Much better to have the dotcom.
We're soon to go down the WIPO route for a name we've trademarked which is being squatted, and we're not looking forward to paying their fat fees to get hold of the domain, which will be the only route in this case :(
