RG I will read your post later I haven't had a chance yet.
Hey Zig you may want to check and see if you're affected by this:
"I am quite speechless right now," begins Artem Russakovskii over at Android Police as he posts about a "massive" security flaw in HTC Android devices
Update: Looks like you are. Better get anything personal off of there for a bit until it's cleared up.
Yikes, another one, Freak if you got around to picking up the Galaxy S II you should check if you're affected by the bug below.
Uh-oh, it looks like some versions of the brand new Samsung Galaxy S II might be going out the door to customers next week with a serious security flaw
Two really bad Android vulnerabilities in one day. Yikes.

You don't keep text msgs? Pics? Contacts? Emails? Why do you have a smart phone, then?Originally posted by MJZiggy View PostGood thing I don't keep my life on my phone, huh?
Jeez, why the snide remark when I'm trying to save you from having your personal info ripped?? It's really rude. I'll refrain from trying to help you in the future. Hopefully, getting your life hijacked will teach you to be a little nicer and more respectful to those who are trying to help you.

Crazy stuff going on with Sprint and the iPhone. Sprint is betting the farm on the iPhone?
Clearly Sprint thinks iPhone is the real deal and Android is not if they're willing to bet the future of the company on it.We’ve been hearing about the iPhone coming to Sprint for so long now that it feels almost inevitable, but that wasn’t necessarily the case behind the scenes, according to the Wall Street Journal. In order to get the device, Sprint had to promise Apple it would buy some 30.5 million iPhones over the next four years at total cost of $20 billion — a “bet-the-company” deal that may not make the number-three carrier any money until 2014. Even still, CEO Dan Hesse convinced his board of directors that Sprint simply couldn’t compete without Apple’s latest phone — he’s previously said desire for the iPhone is the “number 1 reason customers leave or switch.”
Looking to buy your next phone, laptop, headphones, or other tech gear? Or maybe you just want to know all of the details about the latest products from Apple, Samsung, Google, and many others. The Verge Reviews is the place for all of that and more. Whether you’re looking for buying advice, how to use products you already own, or the best deals on products we’ve tested and used ourselves and can recommend, you needn’t look any further.

We'll say that I'm careful with my data. Phones can be stolen. If someone wants a pic of my cat that badly, let 'em have at it, but you won't find pics of my kid. After a rash of car thefts several years ago where the car thieves used the navigation to go rob the people's houses, trying to get to my home will take you to my kid's old elementary school. We don't have a texting plan because we, you know, call each other and I don't use people's full names in my contact list. You'd have to know who they are for the list to do you any good. Good luck hijacking my life from my phone. I have a smart phone for navigation & maps and finding coffee shops and for scanning random bar codes, identifying songs, reading and entertaining myself when I have a few minutes and no knitting with me. Oh and for music when I need it. And by the way, if you read this post, you'll realize that my post was completely serious. Unlike all your replies when I've tried to help you out in your life.Originally posted by Partial View PostYou don't keep text msgs? Pics? Contacts? Emails? Why do you have a smart phone, then?

If security is that important you must use a blackberry then. Good choice.Originally posted by Partial View PostYou don't keep text msgs? Pics? Contacts? Emails? Why do you have a smart phone, then?

Security on a phone is a serious issue and one that I think people overlook. Its all too easy to crack bluetooth and get a phonebook and pictures--everything a bastard kid needs to potentially blackmail you.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

Extremely underwhelmed by the decision to keep the same enclosure for the iPhone 4S. Bad move. Aluminum is much better.
The new camera looks amazing. By far the best camera ever in a smart phone. Should rival point and shoots from a few years ago with it's advanced backlit sensor. It really is about time someone has leveraged gyroscopes/accelerometers to do stabilization.
The software looks incredible. iOs 5 looks awesome. The siri stuff is really quite scary to me. It's ridiculously cool technology much like IBM's Watson with it's natural language processing. Having said that, it's a little frightening and terminator like.
It's the best smart phone still, certainly the fastest, but c'mon, really, still a 3.5" screen? You could easily fit a 4" screen on that enclosure with the size of the bezel. That would have been a HUGE improvement. As I've said before, I do not care for the glass back on the iPhone 4. Why would they keep that when it's susceptible to cracks? Aluminum!!!!Last edited by Partial; 10-04-2011, 02:18 PM.
