The Cellphone Thread

on Sunday, May, 15, 2011 2:55 AM
So what kind of cellphones and carriers are you programs sportin'? I myself got my first cellphone last year, around June, and it was a pretty low-end LG Rumor from Sprint. It had the basic features- text, call, nothing more. It had a nice keyboard. Pretty cool. But my parents got Android smartphones, and when they found themselves confused by the OS, they decided that I (being a quick technology learner) should get a smartphone so I could learn how it works and then teach them- but also because being the tech-geek that I am, I'd be better suited to a smartphone.

So after a couple of weeks, I payed 50 bucks to upgrade towards a Samsung Moment... it was actually kinda crappy. It was slow, sluggish, and eventually, about 4 or 5 months later, it broke down. It was traded in to a Samsung Transform, equally as slow and equally as sluggish, and that is what I use now. However I am soon going to upgrade to a Windows Phone 7 'HTC Arrive' or possibly, the dual-screened Android-powered 'Kyocera Echo'. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Meh. My phone's from like 2003. Everybody's always making fun of it. But other than the fact that it'll need a new battery soon, it's still going strong, so I don't see a point in junking it and getting a new one. It makes calls, it texts, and that's all I really need. I use prepaid and get unlimited talk and text for $45 a month. At times I wish it had a camera, but oh well.

My partner is always after me to get an iPhone (when he upgraded, he was going to give me his old one rather than trade it in), but why? Why would I pay like $70/month for a set number of minutes, and have a phone that does way more than I would need it to do 90% of the time? (On the rare occasion I might use Google Maps on it or something, or perhaps check personal email at work if I'm waiting on something important, but that sort of need is so rare that it'd be stupid to have a phone with that capability). I don't need to play games on my phone, or take video, or have my music on it (I have an iPod, after all), or surf the web on it (why would I stare at a tiny screen when we have three actual computers here??), or have all sorts of business functions, or any of that. I'd consider an iPhone if it were CDMA and I could hack it so I could use my current provider (my plan also includes some data), but I'm not paying the big bucks for AT&T service which gives me less stuff than I have now--that would be stupid.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Mine is a piece of crap 50 dollar phone..
it's a Boost mobile bottom of the line.
it's only good for texting and talking unlimted..
it has net access but is to slow.

It's not even activated.
I was thinking of getting a smart phone
until I found out companies track and record your ever move.
So I think i'll stick with the low tech stuff..
and just get a lap top with Wi Fi
for when I got to a Cafe or something..
plus I can actually do work on a lap top..

My cell phone is from around 2003 as well and I still love it :-) However lately a key shortcut button has broken so I may need a new one. Luckily I have earned a free phone with Verizon so tomorrow we may check it out.

Just like Kat, I pretty much just need a phone to call and text on, and take pictures. Trust me, Id love to have an iPhone with all the cool apps and stuff but, I just dont need it often enough to justify the price.

End of Line.

I sell cellphones now :-D I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a mini pro, combination touch and QWERTY slider. Love it, love Android, and I'm on a sweet plan that meant $400 off a $499 phone and loads of anytime call minutes and data.

Thats cool! What carrier do you work for?

Also- I'm going to the sprint store in about half an hour to get my phone checked out- because the weirdest thing ever just happened to it yesterday. My sister called me, and the phone rang, but I couldn't pick it up. No, not like that- I mean the phone literally would not allow me to answer the call. It was ringing, over and over again, the ringtone never stopped, it went on for about 15 minutes. The phone literally would not turn on, the buttons did not work, it was a lemon. A constantly ringing lemon.

So, I took the battery out and put it back in. It's all good now.

That abacus line make me giggle, it was always one of my fave lines

I third your opinions about not wanting apple's MCP monitoring where I am. Im fine with being a tad more isolated from the Grid while I'm away from home

Still haven't been to the Verizon store, hopefully we will go tomorrow.

As a person who keeps in the loop by following multiple tech blogs, the whole "Apple is watching your every move" thing was blown out of proportion and was not as big a deal as what it was claimed to be. Experiments were run, and it turns out, their so-called "recordings of people's locations" were over 100 miles off every single time, definitely not an accurate representation of where you've been.

Not to mention, just because Apple had been recording the data does not mean that they, or anybody else had access to the data. It would take a very complex series of instructions to find out that information, and can still only be accessed if YOU own the iPhone, the iTunes account, etc. so you're the only one who could access the info. where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

FWIW, any phone can track your location. That's what the GPS chip is for. Though from what I can gather, Apple/AT&T were doing some sort of automatic thing or whatever? I dunno. I didn't bother to read much about it, frankly. Privacy X, Y, and Z is old hat these days.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

HTC Inspire 4G (AT&T)
It's the first 4G phone from AT&T, and I got it the day it came out this past February. It has the android 2.2 OS and I use the ADWx launcher. My phone is entirely Tron themed with a tron layout/theme and keyboard and a few different Tron widgets and I have a Tron skin from Skinit.com

Hate to double post...but if you have a google account it saves the purchase information for every app. And if you had your settings correct on your phone it should have backed up your app data and automatically redownloaded your apps. I did a factory restore on my phone and was worried about the same thing, but google did all the work.
If not, you still don't have to rebuy your apps, just redownload them.

My phone is a Sprint Samsung Intercecpt. I got it in February. It is sometimes slow, and I had a choice between that and another one. I got this becasue it had the slide out keyboard. I don't have very many apps though. Btw, I got my first phone in 4th grade and my next one about 6 months later. Both of those were crappy.
