itt i am posting from my sidekick II

[minxnim]

greg: YES
paul: well, as far as being in BKLYN, tmobile is the best service i have had so far. i've had AT&T and verizon, both of which were touchy at best. you should look at the service area coverage map on t-mobile. they're the cheapest i've used, and having unlimited internet, IM, text, and email AND sidekick service is only like $15 extra a month and omg it friggin rocks. i am retiring my palm pilot as we speak. the phone itself is easy to use. it's bigger than a regular phone obviously, but the sound is way better than nokia's i've been stuck with, and it's really easy to use. i can see guys with really big hands having some trouble with the keyboard though so try one out before you get it. i have really little fingers so it's all good. the flip screen rules.

OH and it has a digital camera built into it. did i mention that?

Thanks for the info! I'm going to look into this... One more question, is it bluetooth as well?

 

[minxnim]

no it's not bluetooth. i think there are some good reviews of it on www.epinions.com (just make sure you type in sidekick II and not the first one)

People here at work have Blackberrys and Treos and have no life because they receive work emails on this thing. It seems they are unable to let go and are always writing emails while you are at lunch with them or something else.

the sidekick II might be my very first cell phone!

...in September.

The hacker's access to the T-Mobile gave him more than just Secret Service documents. A friend of Jacobson's says that prior to his arrest, Jacobson provided him with digital photos that he claimed celebrities had snapped with their cell phone cameras. "He basically just said there was flaw in the way the cell phone servers were set up," says William Genovese, a 27-year-old hacker facing unrelated charges for allegedly selling a copy of Microsoft's leaked source code for $20.00. Genovese provided SecurityFocus with an address on his website featuring what appears to be grainy candid shots of Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Nicole Richie, and Paris Hilton.

The swiped images are not mention in court records, but a source close to the defense confirmed Genovese's account, and says Jacobson amused himself and others by obtaining the passwords of Sidekick-toting celebrities from the hacked database, then entering their T-Mobile accounts and downloading photos they'd taken with the wireless communicator's built-in camera.

The same source also offers an explanation for the secrecy surrounding the case: the Secret Service, the source says, has offered to put the hacker to work, pleading him out to a single felony, then enlisting him to catch other computer criminals in the same manner in which he himself was caught. The source says that Jacobson, facing the prospect of prison time, is favorably considering the offer.

 

[minxnim]

[minxnim]

MEGALOMANIA i think it's called

 

[xfer]

haha "grandiosity"!

 

[minxnim]

self-importance

 

[xfer]

when i was hanging out (prob illegally) at jenna's non-profit over new year's, i watched her and her boss go through their client list and try to sort out who had "grandiosity" and who was just nuts (but they had a clinical term for that, too, which i've forgotten).

"Stevie? Thinks he has a kid but he doesn't, points out kids on the street and says they're his."

"hmmm delusions, but confrontable!"

"Robert? Won't give blood because 'you can't draw blood from a deity, I got no bodily fluids'"

"GRANDIOSITY!"

"Fred, wants to hire a college professor to live with him for two years and teach him and get a degree without attending class. on his social security check. also asked me about buying an island."

"GRANDIOSITY!"

"Robert? Won't give blood because 'you can't draw blood from a deity, I got no bodily fluids'"

"GRANDIOSITY!"

awesome, I'm going to use this when asked if I want to give blood.

 

[Ominous Luminous]

I'm so dumb. I wound up not getting a Sidekick II because I didn't think I would use the features enough...now I really want one.

 

[minxnim]

[Ominous Luminous]

I think it's too late. I already bought the Samsung E715. Argh!!!

 

[minxnim]

FUCK return that stupid thing and get a sidekick II are you NUTS?!?!?!??!

 

[Ominous Luminous]

HA HA! Yeah, actually I am. It might be to big of a hassle to exchange it.

 

[minxnim]
