need a new pda/cell phone

That is fucking awesome.

Apparently the guy might get fired from Best Buy for producing it.

HAHAHA

I'll get one of these p.o.s. one of these years. Touchscreens scare me though because of them getting banged around so much from my job.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The rebuttal is pretty good too.

 

[General Zod]

I have to say, watching Apple completely mismanage this hardware debacle is pretty amusing. Especially considering that Consumer Reports has refuted Apple's claim that it's a software bug and given the phone a "Don't Buy" recommendation.

The folks who make Android phones must be giddy.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The software bug thing is just hilarious anyways. It's hurting them two ways. They've had a bad bug and they aren't solving the problem (besides telling people to buy bumpers)

 

[lurch70]

their claim that the bars were being displayed wrong all this time on ALL their phones was just laughable.
so what they are saying that all these years none of their phones were displaying signal strength correctly?

 

[General Zod]

The comedic part is that it's been demonstrated in dozens and dozens of YouTube videos, and now by Consumer Reports, that this is a physical issue. But Apple is leveraging a policy of deny, deny, deny.

Palm Pre?

does anyone have the Pearl 3g? I had the Pearl 8130 when I left for Korea thinking of sticking with blackberry.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Black berries suck, imo. I can barely do anything on my Blackberry 8330. It's so laggy and lame.

 

[NAD]

Do what I did, walk into Verizon and say "I need a phone that is... you know, just a phone."

They gave me one of these:

It has a camera but it takes really shitty pictures so I suppose I'm somewhat okay with it.

I had a ButtBerry at my last job, I can't imagine anyone willingly paying to be tied to the office.

But then again you own your own business so maybe you care or something.

I finally had to replace this phone about 6 months ago because it fell and split in half, whilst I was eating a breakfast burrito (for dinner).

I replaced it with another $29.99 LG phone. I'm still incredibly anti- any sort of phone that does anything beyond being a phone. I mock the value system of those who disagree.

I'm anti-anyone that wants to keep technology in the same place.
