    Thumbs up New Phone!

    My old phone's ringer died (bless that phone, served me well for 4 years).

    So now I'm typing this very post on my new Motorola Droid!

    Horrible, shameless "Look at me!" Post, but I needed to test out some websites and naturally decided to stop on by here. Looks great on the phone, by the way!

    This is my first "smartphone," and I realize just how unorganized my life is. Tomorrow shall be spent updating Google Contacts and figuring out all the fancy-dancy things I can do.

    If anyone has suggestions of apps or stuff they like, feel free to share! I'm off to bed now; I have a full day of tech-geekery ahead of me tomorrow!

    Edit: The one gripe I have thusfar is that the C key doesn't sit below the E and D keys, like a regular keyboard, it's under the R and F instead, and Z and X are pushed over one. That means the X key is where the C should be. And that's led to ALL KINDS of interesting Google searches today.

    Man, I feel ya. I have a Blackberry Curve 8320, and it's about to die. I've beat it to death literally. I'll never go back to a Non-smart phone. These are just too helpful in daily life.

    I'm not sure if Handango has apps for your phone or not, but it's worth checking out.

    stuff is just stuff. your emotional health is much more important. holding raging anger in is more harmful than your faggot-assed tv that probably deserves to get its ass beat anyway.

    I got a sweet nokia 6010 off ebay a few months ago. it has a contact list, color screen, and its back lit. BTW, if anyone has an unlocked gsm phone in good condition that that's no more than 5 years old and willing to sell it for $15, let me know. NON-smart phone preferred. Motorola preferred.

    The iPhone kicks ass. I tried not to be on the bandwagon, but there's no way to not be. I use it for everything and I can kill so much time on it. It even provides entertainment for the little one when we're stuck somewhere boring.

    Where do the apps come from for your phone? Are they the same as the iphone apps? If so, I know of some great ones.

    F'reals Iphone is the shit. I got mine for only 100 dollas.

    Though for a smart phone, sometimes I wonder wtf the makers were thinking. Like originally it couldn't send picture texts? Wtf that's so standard these days. Or the fact that you can't record videos? Maybe they're just waiting for all these apps to come out so you'll have to buy them. Whatevs!

    I've been thinking of jailbreaking my iphone, so I can do whatever I want to it, have unrestricted 3G even though I already pay 30$/mo for it. I can always restore it back with iTunes, and if worse comes to worse, the damn thing is uninsurable anyway unless you insure it through apple which is like 70$. Maybe I should just get a Linux phone....

    I have a Blackberry Storm and looooove it! Except that it freezes up, shuts down by itsself, was ungodly expensive, the monthly internet charge is outrageous, the text messaging window sucks, it randomly deletes my email, the battery is constantly dead, and there's not lock button for the screen while you talk so it stays muted during calls!!! But other than that I LOOOOOVE IT! Wooo hoooo!! Phone of the year!

    Oh yea.. it was sarcasm.. I've had sooo many problems with my Storm. It's really an awesome phone though.. like all the apps that are on it but its just had alot of bugs in it since getting it... they have come out with alot of updates that have helped it so its not so bad now but when I first got it I seriously wanted to kill it! But I do like it now!

    Yeah, I'm waiting on the new BlackBerry Bold...the first one sucked, like the Storm. The remake of it is supposed to be awesome according to the reviews I've read. It doesn't have the trackball any more tho, just a lil trackpad. I'll have to play with that a bit before I buy one...I really like the trackball on the Curve.

    Greaser, as much as I like Apple stuff, i'm staying away from the Iphone becuz.....the phone call quality SUCKS. Everyone I know who has an Iphone, I try and avoid talking to just because the sound is scratchy, raspy, distorted etc. I would, however, love to have one for the other awesome things it can do. I'm on my phone a LOT.....(I have a 1500 minute plan, free nights and weekends and still sometimes go over my minutes) so I have to have one that has good voice quality. At least I can write it all off due to work this year tho....

    Damn Viking, we deffo derailed this one!

    But since we're here Fruity...read what I said above about call quality. If you want the Iphone for its apps, web browsing, etc. then it's the best. If you actually want to make calls with it, think again. Do your homework, read reviews etc. Maybe it works better there than on ATT's network here.

    Don't jailbreak, there's a newly introduced worm out there that targets vulnerable jailbroken iphones...

    But I got my Iphone about 2 months ago as well, and I LOVE this thing, I don't even have to use my damn desktop anymore, I can just surf the net whenever and wherever, and I can listen to my Ipod music in MY CAR! .. O god I do love technology... and all the cheap chinese crap on ebay that accompanies the iphone!

    Hubby says he hasn't had a problem with call quality on his phone and that its actually better than his last phone. Maybe i'll try it and out talk with my sister on it. Its not like he has any extensive conversations on his phone now that we are married

    I haven't had any problems with the quality of my calls, either. Nor has anyone said anything. Perhaps it's the network?
