hahaha! Sorry to be so crass but whatevs. This stuff is so perfect I had to post it plus I'm surprised we're JUST now seeing a print like this one. I actually think even the iClones will like to wear this print anyway since they're usually into whatever is trendy. This way, its completely outspoken and I never really have to say anything. I can be on a bus, in an elevator, at the grocery store...ummm, AT&T Store, anywhere! Its AWESOME!!!
So Merry Christmas to my XDA fam, ant-iPhonies, and iCloners alike!! This is legit. I know the guy and they're doing pre-orders now, so I know I'm getting one.
Anyway, I thought I'd put it out there for my XDA fam. I've been following for hella, but I rarely post, and keep a pretty low profile. Usually I figure things out my dang self but I'm always turning people onto the community. I mean how many times have you run into someone with some HTC phone and its still got the protective shipping plastic on the back about to fall off (like your grandmas' 40 year old plastic covered couch) and you can tell they haven't even begun to use it?! Yeah, I know...what a waste right. And thats why I am very grateful for this gash darn community.
Ya'll Rule, XDA!!!
HTC -4- LYFE biiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa...*cough**hack*...umm, well at least after this Samsung Captivate goes out of style THEN I'll be back to HTC...cool?!
ps...to be truthful, it doesn't have much to do with iPhones or Mac's to me. I'm sure they technically do their jobs well. However, its the "greater-than-thou" attitude that seems to inhabit people once they "wield" a APPLE device that enrages me. Some one gets an iPhone or a MAC and all of a sudden they apparently 1) know calculus, 2) speak 3 languages, 3) can locate Tanzania on a topographical globe, 4) and wear Birkenstocks?! EEF all that madness. Its more the big corporate One-Size-Fits all mentality that enrages me.
pps...any thoughts?

Very nice but off topic have to go

Lol, that is exactly why we're better than iPhone. They need a "guitar" to showcase what it can do. Ohh, iPhone, touch a string, and wow oooohhh Wow. I believe our Pocket PC's don't need a "guitar" to prove we're better.
*Pulls of PPC* 3G, oooohhh aahhh. GPS. oooohhh aahhhh
"Hi, I'm a mac, I can play the guitar". "Hi, I'm a boring PC, all I do is surf at HSPDA speed.
iPhone? Please!
At least we have the freedom to develop a program that will run on a PPC and we're not locked out of our OS!
Also there are cool programs like Songbook and Songsheet, great for learning, but if you want to play guitar, might I suggest, just a thought now, a GUITAR!
"Crap guys...the iPhone can do something kind of cool that we can't do. Time to belittle it".
Yeah, because us Windows Mobile users NEVER point out things that are very niche as to why our phones are as good/different/better than the iPhone.
I think its a cool app. cant' be done on the PPC though because of lack of multitouch support.
watching some PPC users reactions to iPhone stuff I'd swear they were just told they have a small :cough:.
Well, we've had this one for a while

People who play guitar actually tend to... wait for it... play REAL guitars
somewhere i see a video where a dude was using a diamond touch di debug mode, and he was using 2 fingers, so i suppose that should be doinable on winmobile too
sadly, actually i'm still waiting for the deliver of my new blackstone, so i can't try :-\

If you're in the IT field, you'll get a laugh from this...

This thread is an epic facepalm.
Yeah that was a good read lol. Proxy is kinda down lmao. Then to tell the other guy that told him what it was that he didnt know what he was talking about lol. Good times.
hahah wow thank you for showing this to me.
Thanks for the laugh.... Goes with the "any" key jokes of old. Probably should tell the guy he can get all the free movies at 10.10.10.100 and see how long he tries.
Holy Crap, that's a good one.

I haven't seen that in forever. "You can't arrange by penis"
Sent from my Captivate
the stupidity....... Its killing me!
That has got to be one of the funniest things that i have ever seen
Even though this provides most with a chuckle, it should be a warning to those on these boards who blindly follow any post without understanding what exactly it is their being "told" to do.
Amazingly enough, not everyone who posts steps to improve your phone, gps, speed, <<fill in the blank>>, knows what the heck they're talking about. Granted, some are very knowledgeable and can be trusted more than most... however there are those that either have no clue what they're doing or worse, know exactly what they're doing when giving out false and misleading information.
So to all those who are quick to jump without enough technical knowledge to understand what you're doing, please wait until those who do know have a chance to respond and identify falsehoods and dangerous mods.
LoL - That's just too funny
It should be voted to the front page...........top right of OP. LOL
HAHA!!!!! ,I'm Speachless!!!

FREE phone skin from Marlboro and Skinit.com

Like the title says, get a free phone skin from Marlboro and skinit.com.
1. Scan qr code in picture below
2. Set up account
3. Create a brand
4. Get it shipped
Says it could 8-10 weeks for delivery, but I just ordered mine on 23OCT and received it in the mail 01NOV. Limited to folks 21 and older and they do ask for SS# for age and identification verification so there is that catch. Other than that, no strings attached. Figure if you're a nonsmoker you can just make up some stuff when you create the account for brand preference and such. I also included pics of mine. If you decide to get one come back and post pics.
It does limit you to 2 characters on the brand and as hindsight is always 20/20, I realized I could've done my favorite college or university as opposed to the initials of my name.

As I lurk more often than not, I'm crossing my fingers that I posted the pics correctly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Pics are pretty small, and appear to be screen shots of pictures, but they worked. From looks pretty cool, but they ask for way too much info to feel comfortable IMO. Cool find though.
i already am on the marlboro mailing lists and get several freebies a year, so theyve already gotten my info. that being said, i ordered this a few weeks ago also. im not one for phone skins so i had it made to fit an iphone 3gs for my dad. quality is soso. just a typical skinit skin. not bad for free.
Not many skins to choose from, but hell its free, I got the one that looked like chrome for the toolboxes on the back of truck... the brand thing is pretty cool too, makes it unique. 15 bucks saved.
How strange
Thanks for the post, I don't see why you need to be 21+ when you're legally allowed to smoke at 18. Lol. I'm not the one giving away free skins, so i guess it's on them.
Give them social security for a free identify theft for them and get a free skin? HMMM....

IPhone owners say the darndest things

I was talking to an iPhone owner about the internet situation at his house when I asked him why he just doesn't tether if he has good phone reception
To which his reply was" if I tether my iphone then I'll have to connect it to the computer to turn it back on' when clearly what he was thinking was a tethered jailbreak. And not wireless internet
To which I laughed hard for about 5minutes solid.
This got me pondering about other people's experiences with iSheep so please share and discuss them here!
Most of you may have heard of this, i ask my friend why she wanted to buy a 4S, and she replied:
"It's got Siri"
And i was like

Swyped from my GT-i9100
I have one. My friend posted a siri vs google now vid on his timeline and of course google now trumped. The ishep convo goes like this:
Isheep, upon seeing the video, simply said:
Nope
Smart person:
Explain to me why siri is better.
Me: IPHONES SUCK
Isheep:
Siri is better because it's still really fast, and the droid only beat it by fractions of seconds at some points. It also gave more out more data than its competitor, and was more visually appealing. I also personally don't care which sounds more human like either.
Me:
Wrong on all counts. Android was WAY faster on most tests and it is MUCH more appealing. It did not give out more data whatsoever. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grmixtB9dZM
Smart person:
In most cases people want data immediately, not more of it. And siri only displayed more data once.
Isheep:
Yeah but it did give it out immediately. I don't think most people would care if you get data in 2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds, or even 2 vs 3 seconds
Smart person:
People want information and not those little "additions" that say "the weather looks good outside today."
Idk why but this just makes me laugh...

Leaving the O3D community in style!

I don't really like these kinds of topics, but I found my situation quite funny and perhaps worth sharing.
Last Friday I lost my O3D after it fell out of my bag.
I was riding this:

}
and descending this road, the Transfagarasan:
I built the bike myself, I even made a bike mount that fitted the phone and its flipcase, and it would stay put no matter how hard the bike fell. However, that particular day I had it in a pocket in the rear bag, charging from an external battery. I don't know why I didn't put the phone in the back pocket of my cycling jersey, it would have been way more secure.
The upside, of course, was the ride! I was so happy at the bottom, after over 5000ft (1500m) of teeth-grinding descent, that when I got that sick feeling out of the blue, looked back and saw the charging cable dangling freely, I just couldn't get angry. I had already lost my touring colleague the previous day due to different views over the tour, so after loosing the phone and consequently the tour schedule, camera, gps, radio, weather app, emergency communications and nearly all the photos (I had uploaded 3 of them on the road), I just felt defeated and rode home for the next 2 days. I bought a map to plot a quick and easy route home, and I could have bought a camera and a phone, but I felt like crap for loosing the almost 300$ I paid for the phone and decided to end the tour after a week's riding of the planned 3.
Now I got myself a Dell Streak 5, and while I miss the 3D capabilities and the camera on this one isn't great, I really like it and it's nice not having that feeling that you might still be missing a call now and then and not know about it. Nonetheless, I hope ICS will be everything we ever hoped for the O3D, and the wait won't be for nothing!
Damn. must feel bad to lose your phone.
I will hope ics will be everything for this device to.
but i think i already sold the phone before it comes out.
you may want to drive that road again and search for it.
a dell streak aint something either. i would rather call that crap than a phone.
i would search it. even if it's a extremely long road.
Greetings, Paul
