Smart Phones

You mean that 35 dollar after discount Badger jersey I bought with a 30 dollar gift card in my cubby and 5 dollars?

What does this mean? Is this some new term the kids are using these days? Like, "Yo! Don't get all up in my cubby bro!"

I'm serious. WTF does "in my cubby" mean?

we have little cubby's at Sears. Or miniature lockers if you will.

Like a cubbie hole. That's old school shit ya fucker.

What kind of post is this? Weren't you extolling the virtues of the Iphone just mere months ago?

The iPhone is money in the bank and revolutionizing phones. I argued its a great phone, albeit it way overpriced. You were the one touting the windows mobile based HTC Touch which is not nearly as nice as an iPhone. I will give you I have warmed up to Windows Mobile slightly, but it still pals in comparison to OS X. Also, the iPhones UI is lightyears ahead. However, in both cases, I need tactile feedback and I have to dock any phone without a physical keyboard points.

I however, cannot afford it. Personally I am hoping a phone similiar to the HTC Mogul or the Palm Centro comes out with Android before June at about 150 bucks. Mobile Safari which is a variant of the same open-source mobile browser Google is using is absoutely excellent.

Why can't you..didn't you just sell your mini laptop.

I still tout other phones. AT&T blows.

Lightyears: LOL.

Bottom line is very few corps are jumping on the iphone cause it is a security risk and getting it to sync with exchange,etc. isn't worth the hassle.

I agree with that.

No, I can't afford an iPhone nor would I want to. Waste of money for what I need. Palm Centro would really be perfect but the browser sucks. Android phones should be out by summer so that will be infinitely excellent.

Want to stick with sprint for the SERO offer and ever increasing EV-DO speeds. Would prefer something I can tether as well.

I just bought the Samsung Blackjack II for $100 (after $100 rebate) and I like it. I'm not sure if it's a smart phone, but I like it. I can access personal and work email. I have it set up for updated stock quotes and other stuff. I can see how people put their lives into these phones. It will do for me until more sofisticated phones like the iPhone get cheaper. I'm curious to see what the Google Android phone will be like.

Android is actually a software platform that can be used on many phones. When Google announced the "open handset alliance", they said it was about a million phones instead of one. They are making the tools and the development tools readily available to anyone interested in making an app.
