Yeah, if you had a winmo phone I don't know how you'd pick anything other than another.

dont buy antything samsung they make ----. i dont care what anyone says everything samsung ive owned is ----. and there phones are made for retards/girls

when i break/loose my phones, i go to walmart and buy a t mobile prepay phone for $29 and then activate it on my normal tmobile account, then i dont have to get ripped off buying a new phone from them.

before i learned i cant have a nice phone, i liked blackberrys and motorolas.

Re: Need a new phone, what do you nig nogs recomend?
 
i go weeks without rebooting my tilt, i normally only reboot it when i flash a new firmware, i can use WMWiFiRouter and use 3G wirelessly on my laptop :6 3.0mp camera blows ass, not the resolution or anything, just response, video is kinda laggy too... 400mhz proc FEELS about as fast as the 200mhz TI OMAP (like in the wing).... its still a baller ass phone with a TON of options, like wifi, bluetooth, GPS, 3G, MicroSDHC, etc... list goes on and on.

Used to have problems with my OLD ass Windows mobile 2003 Cingular 2125. I'd still buy another Windows Mobile phone.

ive dropped this phone into a bucket of carwash soapy water, dropped it from 4-5ft heights on a weekly basis, plus its dual flip. keyboard for email/text/aim, flip like a normal phone for phone/calc usage

Re: Need a new phone, what do you nig nogs recomend?
 
My first phone was a samsung and it took quite a bit of abuse. Later I got an SDA, was cool and all but wanted the touchscreen so switched to the MDA as soon as that came out. The lagginess bothered me, switched to a Wing when I got 5 for $800, sold the rest, pretty much free phone and extra cash. Uses the same OMAP proc but runs smoother, probably because it had a less buggy wm6. I'd stick with win mobile over apple hyped-up overpriced ---- that you can't install whatever software you want or change the battery/sim easily. ---- apple.

---- symbian, WM ftw, although the tilt is only 320x240, there are SO many pocketPC apps available for ANY windows mobile phone... PSX emulators, SNES/NES/Genesis emulators, opera/IE, TCPMP (coreplayer), office mobile, symbian might be more intuitive and "clean" but ---- it, powerusers use WM... dont ask us which phone you should get, go on phonescoop, use the "phone finder" enter your criteria, and read peoples reviews, so you know what sucks about any particular phone.... i think we've done enough iPhone bashing, you'd have to be a tool to get one (although the browser is nice, it stops there)

HTC phones are more than OK. IMO they are the best Windows Mobile phones out their. Most of the qwerty slide-out phones you see are just rebranded HTCs. The reason is because they're priced decent, look decent, and are good phones.

BTW, HTC is ALWAYS coming out with a newer/faster phone (just like everything else). When the "new" phone comes out they'll be discussing their upcoming faster/better phone, so just suck it up and realize you'll never be "caught up"

Re: Need a new phone, what do you nig nogs recomend?
 
your right, phones are constantly changing. ---- like 4 years ago texting came out and now its almost impossible to find a phone that doesnt have texting on it. internet is becoming more common, pretty soon that will blow up too. watch out for the next big thing, but dont ever think you have the best cuz something is always right around the corner.

i have a blackjack and I talked my dad into a dash. Dashes are pretty sick if you live in a city. They have wifi, so as youre walking along you can connect to different networks and get hi-speed internet for free. The only thing i don't like is it seems to run a tad slower than my blackjack

Eh? My SDA in either 2005 or 2006 had wifi, and I know I've had other smartphones since then that did.

MOST do, now, but yeah.

i just got rid of my nextel and sidekick 3 for the verizon lg voyager 1000. scrooling through the contacts for the touch screen sucks. email and aim programing sucks. sending more then one page text at a time sux. internet sucks. reception is good. havent used the camera. i expanded to a 8gb micro sd card. i can actually say for the aim/text/email i like the sidekick 1000 time better. internet sucked on both phones. however this on can serve as a mp3 playmer now that i got 8gb of space.

I want an iphone, but they don't work out here. I know a guy with one that is running on AT&T and it doesn't work for ---- because of the service, but the phone is badass IMO. I have to wait until Jan before I can get a new phone. By then they will probably have ---- way cooler than an iPhone.

I have a Samsung A900m and it works great. I don't use it for anything except calling and texting though. :l I'm not into paying the ridiculous charges for internet service on my phone. Maybe when the rates come down a bit more.

Fancy cell phones might be the most efficient way to point out douche bags. I will say the built in GPS stuff is pretty money but other than that, I'll take the most basic cell phone available.

Re: Need a new phone, what do you nig nogs recomend?
 
See I use my 54mbps wireless network on my laptop because it isn't slow. Music, well I like my Creative Zen M as it holds 30gb and takes almost any file you throw at it except weird wmv's and faggot Apple formats. I can dump a 700mb divx movie on the sucker in less than a minute and use the TV out cables to plug it into any TV with RCA input.

I can almost see the utility in having a ton of features in one phone but in the same breath it is kind of nice to be able to step away from the internet and technology for a few minutes. I really hate walking around and seeing 20 somethings with fancy internet phones that use them for nothing more than texting and internet browsing facebook and myspace. I think this is another case of me rationalizing my hatred of a product because of the user base. I'm sure I'll pick up something in the next year or two once a product comes out that is a bit better. Basically if an IPhone comes out that isn't made by Apple with all of their stupidity, I might pick one up. Also touch screens are gayer than AIDS.

Hah, how so? On an apple iphone, yes. On most HTC phones with a slideout qwerty, no. ---- trying to navigate with buttons when I can just PRESS what I want to do.

I like being able to mow the lawn while streaming any of my 40+ gbs of music from my computer inside through wifi. I pay $5.99 for unlimited internet on my phone, and to me it's worth it to be able to check my email or bid/check ebay on the go. Hell, I can stream music from my home through wireless data, and my "memory" is only limited by how much I have on my network.

If you don't use/need the extra stuff, don't get it. I use the crap though.

I have my BJII overclocked to 300 MHZ. It runs very nmice there... Also have the MODACO Comport hack and reg hack for using entire MP3 songs as ringers and alerts (out of the box you are limited by file size).

I have all of the software available... but cant attach it here.

The OmapClock app makes it to where you can overclosck the device (Mine freezews after a few minutes at anything higher than 300MHZ -= all it takes is a reboot though and its set back to the stock 252... You need to run the app everytime you reboot your phone unless you place it in the startup group)

The ModaCo Smartphone GPS activator opens up com 4 for the GPS chip to be able to communicate with non ATT proprietary apps *such as windows live search or google maps)... Freeing you from Telnav.... which is junk anyways)

Then you can just download mobile regisatry editor to hack the reg to edit the max file size of MP3 files to be able to use whole songs as ringtones......


Love my phone, the ONLY complaint i have is that there is no flash available to lookie a youtube... Need something else for that, but I like my phone more than the I phone, not to mention the 5 dollar insurance applies.



LMK if anyone needs any MS ---- for their mobile devices..
