need a new pda/cell phone

[dorian gray]

Ok then. We're still cool

 

[NAD]

I lived "under surveillance" back when it was cool ... so i know what it's like.

Also @ my cell phone bill now, $192 per month. Of course that's for 5 phones across 3 households so whatevz. Still cheaper per person that it was 10 years ago for a Nokia that vaguely worked as a phone but played a mean game of Snake.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a Droid app for Snake...?

 

[einride]

does anyone still have a dumbphone

i do

Nokia that vaguely worked as a phone but played a mean game of Snake.

it's this

 

[NAD]

I actually have three of the Nokia Snake phones in my garage. Also an old pager, transparent cranberry finish I believe it's called.

I don't know why but it's like the Island of Misfit Communication Devices in this wee box that I still haven't gotten rid of for whatever reason.

HAHA, I remember back in high school thinking I was so cool with my beeper....and all them different opaque cases you could switch out. ....and all them numerical codes that meant different shit. haha

07734 ... upside down HELLO

 

[Krilons Resa]

... 143 - I love you ... 911 - Emergency ... 80085 - Boobs ... i forgot the code for FUCK YOU.

My son broke my phone this AM so I was forced to upgrade our devices finally and resign for another 2 yrs with Verizon.

 

[NAD]

Wow I had forgotten all the pager codes. One time I got one that just said 187-187-187-187. Guess I pissed someone off.

I'm really enjoying my ShartPhone, the god damn Droid RAZR with it's giant screen and weirdo robot sounds. I was watching Netflix at 4am and then today recorded some shit with an app thingy. Pretty neat. I love pissing and moaning about shit for years and then finally joining in with the crowd saying "whoa, this is kinda cool," and then becoming the polar opposite in my state of prior opinion.

FLIP FLOPPIN' AROUND.

 

[NAD]

I love this phone. I'm such a fag.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Does this mean that NAD will be around RC more often nowadays due to his fartphone?

 

[dorian gray]

He'll be posting while taking a shit like he used to do with his ButtBerry

 

[NAD]

Shitposting rules. I think I did that in a casino once on here back in the ButtBerry days. Drunk as fuck of course, why else would I be in a damn casino?!

Wait, I mean I always shitpost anyhow. Zing!

 

[lurch70]

Wife is getting an IPAD ... what do we need to know before tying our lives forever to Itunes ... can I still run bootleg shit on it like movies, etc?
can I transfer files from my PC to it? can i print from it wirelessly through my home network.

seems to me its a pretty locked ecosystem ... tell me oh smart people.

 

[einride]

you cant do shit

its locked in every conceivable way, enjoy your very pretty maximum security prison

fuck apple forever


edit: to be a little more realistic, yes, you should be able to transfer whatever movies you have to it thru itunes

 

[lurch70]

come on you gonna diss this too?

i got the bottom of the barrel tech in a Windows Phone and also the creme de la creme world domination co. Ipad ... and they are both in the same file cabinet for you?

 

[einride]

literally every "smartphone" and "tablet" is shit

sorry

but apple is PARTICULARLY bad about building a walled garden with the tallest walls possible

 

[lurch70]

i am totally against it ... but the wife wants one.

good thing Apple has a 30 day return policy. we'll see.

 

[dorian gray]

I dont know shit about Apple.......but fuck that company anyway for no particular reason
