TooDee, I think you've found your OTT niche: retarded technophobe!

[quote name='manthing']Munch, here's my advice on smartphones.

- Like the iPhone? Too bad. The iPhone4 is fragile and still has reception issues and the 3GS is a few months from obsolescence. Plus you'd have to use ATT:)puke:) or be stuck on EDGE speeds on T-Mobile.

Buy an iPod touch if you want the iOS apps and games.

- Windows Phone 7 can be used on a Mac. my thoughts on WP7 are here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7823407&postcount=483

One other note about WP7, you can't purchase any WP7 Apps through the Zune marketplace from your PC, you have to grab them from a WP7 device. That's unlike iTunes, where you can download apps from your computer.

Also, the HD7 isn't a good phone. The screen SUCKS. It's blurry and washed out.

-Palm? I still like the software, but the Pre and Pixi suck dick, and there's no solid news of any new hardware outside of a Pre with more RAM and a bigger processor. There's chatter of new devices being shown at CES in January though.

-Android is the best smartphone OS right now and it has decent devices on every carrier as well. The G2 is the best TMobile option right now.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for that. My wife and I decided that we just can't afford one right now. In the meantime I'll continue to rock my pre-paid Nokia!
 
[quote name='2DMention']Here's my thoughts on smartphones and cell phones.

Cell phones are only useful in the following situations:

-You're meeting friends somewhere and need to find them.
-Your car breaks down in the winter

Texting is useful only in the following situations:

-Your friend/GF works in retail/office and doesn't have enough time/can't talk on the phone.
-You don't want to talk to someone for more than 5 minutes

Smartphones are useful only in the following situations:

-The power goes out and you can't access the Internet
-You want a device that works as MP3 player/GPS/Phone in one
-You're not near a computer with access to the Internet (on vacation)
-You're too cheap/broke to afford a computer, and don't want to hump around with routers, etc.
-You're a serious business person that has to work 24/7, or own a business.

Face it folks, smartphones/cell phones are a luxury. You can get by with land lines just fine.

They advertise the everyliving shit out of these. People will think they need them when they don't. Every show you watch on TV, on every channel, has at least one cell phone/smartphone ad every time an ad is on.

That being said, I own a very simple cell phone myself (it's basically the same price as a landline).[/QUOTE]

I agree with some of what you said, 80% of all people dont need one they just get one because its the cool thing.

I picked a Blackberry because I have clients that want to talk to me, clients I want to talk to and contracts to bid on. Plus in my field at any given time night or day someone could need my skill set. I receive roughly 50 business emails/text a day. Plus GPS is a god send when you are a freelancer.

I laugh at these 16 year old high school kids with 300 dollar smart phones so they can check their facebook and twitter account. :roll:

But, that being said, you can always find a deal where they will give you like 5 of them for free. The plan itself is the thing that kills you which has more to do with the provider.
 
2DMention is an idiot.

I have an EVO, and I pay less than $60 a month (I realize this isn't possible for most people). It's made everything ridiculously more convenient, and I would not go back to living without it. Having Internet access 24/7, regardless of where I am, is really fucking great.

I used to be surprised at how many people have smartphones, but now that I have an EVO, I'm surprised that so many people still use dumbphones. I really don't know why I put up with that for so long.
 
I really like my iPhone 4. No reception issues for me and everything is so crisp and cleannnnnnn. If the iPhone 4 was a womang, I'd stick my wiener in her. *shrug*
 
I haven't hung out with him in forever, asshole. He's more of a wastoid than I am.

Oh, yeah, iPhone4 has DoDonPachi:R, which is AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING.

What have you been smoking? I have dropped my iPhone 4 numerous times from about chest height and above and it has been fine. I never experienced any receptions issues before I got a case and still none after I got one. Also AT&T has by far the best coverage in the central Texas area and I have never had a problem with not having 3G coverage unless I was way out in the sticks.
 
Welp, the Monte Carlo is purring once again. Now to give her a good detailing tomorrow.

I emailed that CEO from Huntsville to see if he can talk with me soon. If I can't sweet talk him into bringing me down for an interview I will have to go get a job in a restaurant or a book store or somewhere.

FWIW, my experience (and that of people I know) is exactly the opposite. I have 4-5 bars in my house and drop to Edge 90% of the time not because of coverage- but because of available bandwidth. That kind of poor data coverage is generally consistent for most of Atlanta. Granted, that is entirely dependent on your area.

I held out on upgrading to the iPhone 4 and am glad. Having compared mine to my friends and neighbors with 4's, they do have a demonstrably reduced reception vs. mine. Most who have upgraded tell me dropped calls while in motion and stationary is worse . . . which blows my mind. I drop every third call as it is. My "mark the spot" app is one of my most used phone programs.

My wife's coworker also broke his 4 from a waste high drop the first few weeks; Apparently if it pancakes on the back the "Gorilla glass" spider-webs. (It was in a hardshell/candy case) I don't think it's necessarily an inherently fragile device but I do think it is more fragile than the 3G/3GS and most other smartphones. I've probably dropped mine a hundred times and have only now developed split/crack on the back near the port (but I use a silicone case which adsorbs much more shock).

Regarding AT&T: Save for a few hamlets, it's absolute shit. 99% of users I know are furious with them. If the wife's work's enterprise server and corporate discount didn't require it- we'd be gone. Everyone I know who's moved to Verizon (and even Sprint) is much more satisfied.
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']You should do that anyway, montecarlomuscleman. You'll be bringing in bread while looking for another job! Exciting.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I would have a long time ago if my car wasn't laid up.

I am just hoping I can get an actual job rather than some bull shit. I could careless about the money since I don't need anything or do anything. I am just concerned about getting my parents off my back.
 
If Joe Montana wanted to get money donated to Notre Dame, why is he wearing his 49ers uniform? >_>

These are the things I think about while I stand in there.
 
I get to be a working class citizen for the rest of the year! No more days wasted starring at the screen, supposed to be doing homework. I now get to waste my days away looking at writing on paper.
 
Via Nick Chester of Destructoid:

Bethesda has just announced that "Dead Money" will be the first downloadable expansion for Fallout: New Vegas.

The content finds the player on the wrong end of a deal, having to work with three other wastelanders to recover the illustrious treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino. Bethesda is promising that the content will offer up new areas to explore, as well as fresh enemies to kill.

It's exclusive to the Xbox 360, and will be available on December 21 for 800 MS Points.

:whee:

Now I'm wishing I would've watched Treasure of the Sierra Madre the other day.
 
Hey budge, congrats on living in AT&T's backyard.

But h3ll knows what's up with AT&T in other parts of the country and the iPhone4 sturdiness.

And barely over halfway through.

Morning, OTT. Glad my phone decided to die overnight with no usage! Good thing I randomly rolled over and looked at the clock at 5:15.

I wish I had one around here so I could judge for myself.

$5 to eat pizza until I slip into a diabetic coma? Yes please.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']I'm not convinced Joe Montana wasn't concerned about vapor lock either.[/QUOTE]

I know for a fact that Y.A. Tittle doesn't care about vapor lock...it's quite concerning.

Unfortunately, thier pizza is like cardboard and ketchup. Think of Ellio's, and then make it the store branded Ellio's that is reduced for quick sale and sitting in the same cart with the dented cans in Aisle 6, next to the baby wipes.

That is Cici's Pizza.
