I had the curve before the one you had (8800 maybe)?  it was the small, girly one, but up to that point i had 2 nextels (yes, the big clunky ones) and then my first "smart-ish" phone was that flip keyboard one with robots...forget the name, but they used to say "don't call it a phone".  then i got the 8800, and now i have a bold like you.

i drop phones / hit things with phones constantly, and sadly the sturdiness of the phone is a big feature for me.  i have the bold now, and this thing is rock solid compared to how flimsy an iphone is.

plus i don't look like i suck cocks everywhere by holding my big iphone to show the world.

i'll stick to blackberry for now.  the only other option might be something android related in teh future, but i doubt it.

Awesome thread brother ACH. The quest for solid functionality was quite a ride back then. I held to Windows mobile for as long as I could

Mine:
AudioVox (HTC) Apache x6700

HTC 6800
(http://www.htc.com/us/content/images/phones/verizon-xv6800-Support-838.png)

HTC 6850

Samsung CockNia (never fucking again)
(http://tech4teens.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/samsung-omnia-verizon.jpg)

back to I don't remember wtf...

then the greatest ever... DroidX
(http://droidxvsincredible.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/motorola-droid-x.jpg)

And now as a sidekick, dock in the hummer... my Xoom!

Alex, I too tried to hold on to windows mobile for as long as I could, but alas, it just couldn't cut it.

Great move on the xoom by the way, thats my next tablet. Right now I'm sporting an Archos 70 running android 2.3, I love it but i think 7 inches is just not big enough for BIG ACH! LOL

Yes.

I've started with the Curve, Storm (ugh) and now the Droid X which is phenomenal (and will only get better if we could get f'ng Ginerbread already).  But, the iPhone is a phenomenal device, and I think you'll enjoy it much more than a Blackberry.

Dropped the 8830 for droid, and won't look back at Blackberry.  I do miss the keyboard though.

Archos is kool brother but the xoom literally changed my computing life. I love that thing; i would make love to it if it was just a little thicker (i have a type)...

Tip to get 200$ rebate on the xoom;  go to verizon; bitch a little, treat to switch to ATT, you'll get almost immediately.

if not, bitch about your current carrier and suggest you switch friend of mine got it as well.

had the iPhone since '07 when it came out. For all the douchebags saying it's a status symbol...you can get one for $49 with 2 year contract from AT&T. Doesn't take much of a baller to fork over $49 for a phone.

I don't understand why people knock it so much? I'm not an apple fan boy by any means but it seems like people are too stupid to do the touch screen thing? It's fucking intuitive as hell. After a few minutes of playing around with it, it makes sense to operate and to find different menus and functions.

Also, all these new smart phones coming out...which I have no bias against but they all offer a new gimmick that you'll never use after the first couple of days.

Just like the stupid face time camera on my iPhone 4. I used that thing all the time to see my girlfriend finger her pussy when I was at work. After a week of that nonsense it was done. Haven't used it in atleast 6 months.

When we went, my wife and I on Singapore airlines we did business class and it was sweet, although the seat wasn't a full flat bed, it was more of a huge la-z boy, was still pretty damn comfortable.

I know too well about this. For the last 3 years I was using a hacked iPhone on T-Mobile. I finally switched to AT&T the legit way because my job gives me a 25% discount off my bill.

My shit was jailbroken/unlocked but having to update every few months and fuck around with the jailbreak was a pain. And after a while I stopped giving a fuck about the plethora of apps that was available.

The buttons that I use on my phone in order everyday are: email, safari, ebay, text, weather, youtube
I have around 5 pages of apps I've used only like 2-3 times.

 Droid = Malware deposit.


Another IPhone Groupie.  If you didn't receive it as a gift or stole it, your IPhone probably set you back 700$-1000$ in Brasil.  Tell me I'm wrong.

 Where do you get apps for your droid? Market.

 The entire market is hacked.. you are getting hacked not just from a third part.

 Google is remotely removing virus-infected Android apps from thousands of phones and tablets in its continuing cleanup of what has become known as the "Droid Dream" scare.

Last Tuesday, Google removed 21 free apps that were hacked and loaded with malware, and then distributed on the company's Android Marketplace.

Since then, reports state that Google has removed more than 50 malicious apps from its Android Marketplace -- though, while Google has acknowledged that it has removed a number of apps, it so far has declined to say just how many.

On Saturday, Google began entering people's phones and tablets and killing the infected apps directly on those devices, said Rich Cannings, Google's Android security lead, in a blog post.

"For affected devices, we believe that the only information the attacker(s) were able to gather was device-specific (IMEI/IMSI, unique codes which are used to identify mobile devices, and the version of Android running on your device)," Cannings said.

"But given the nature of the exploits, the attacker(s) could access other data, which is why we’ve taken a number of steps to protect those who downloaded a malicious application."

Not only did Google start removing malware-infested applications from both its Android Marketplace and Android devices that had downloaded the bad apps, the tech giant has also suspended the Android Marketplace accounts of developers who've uploaded the virus-containing apps, he said.

Google is also passing along information on the attack to law enforcement agencies, Cannings said.

The removal of the malware apps from devices is one of the many increased security measures Google has had to employ in this ordeal, he said.

"We are pushing an Android Market security update to all affected devices that undoes the exploits to prevent the attacker(s) from accessing any more information from affected devices," Cannings said.

Google has sent out e-mails from its android-market-support google com address to the owners of affected Android phones or tablets beginning this Saturday through the end of the day Monday, detailing its actions, he said.

"You may also receive notification(s) on your device that an application has been removed," Cannings said, addressing affected Android users. "You are not required to take any action from there; the update will automatically undo the exploit. Within 24 hours of the exploit being undone, you will receive a second email."

Many of the affected apps removed from Android devices and the Android Market are believed to have been downloaded virus-fee, from their original publishers, and then hacked with malware, before being re-uploaded to Google's official app store by the new publisher.

Some have expressed privacy concerns over Google's ability to remove apps from devices remotely, though it is an action that Google makes clear it has the right to perfom in its Android Market Terms of Service, stating: "2.4 From time to time, Google may discover a Product on the Market that violates the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement or other legal agreements, laws, regulations or policies. You agree that in such an instance Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your Device at its sole discretion."

The problems with the infected apps on the Android Marketplace, which have been nicknamed "Droid Dream" by many Android fan blogs and forums, follows news last month that multiple apps distributed on third-party websites have been known to run-up user's phone bills by taking over text messaging and Web browser functions.

Android is the world's most popular mobile operating system and the OS and its apps are built on and largely distributed on an open-source platform, which makes it very accessible to developers and hackers alike.


 You are getting hacked by hackers,devs and Google.

 Should i continue?

 My phone is JB... and the community fix that problem in less than 10 hours.
 And before the fiasco was blow to the rest of the world... i had some other thinks to protect my phone.
 And since you mention about the safari vulnerability... I use TOR on my phone.

 Google didn't fix the location problem yet.

iphone tracking was officially fix already. android still has the problem.
imo i dont what the big problem is? As long as you encrypt the information. which apple didnt do on the computer side.
an engineer i know, says tracking cell towers helps with reception.

slamming a 14" laptop in your pants can be awkward.
it s to show everyone else how unique rich and trendy you are, nothing else. Part of generation nothingness. Only problem; anyone can buy one, so you re not unique, and everyone is better surfing the web at home behind his desktop. Most people pretend to do things than actually doing something useful with these ridiculous gadgets. What s the point of watching a movie or surfing the web in the bus ? I could understand watching a movie on your handled device in a plane, in a train... It's all showing off and it 's childish.

This is ridiculous. We should slap these people in the face with their ipads or other retarded toys.

smartphones fit in your pocket, powerful programs, take phone calls.
ipads have better battery life, smaller, cheaper 3G plans, high resolution screens (needed for are web-software), etc.

wifi and cellphones "might" produce waves that give brain or prostate cancers etc... bah im not going to enter in an argument with you here.

I'm just saying people might need a laptop and a phone(line) for their job, but that everything else is useless, it's just showing off... At home i use ethernet cables to link my two computers to the modem, and my phone aint a wireless one either. We simply do not know what it does to our bodies in the long run, and those who sell these products for sure wont let us know if it does something harmful anyway. But better be safe than sorry.

I absolutely dont think someone who needs a computer and phone for his job needs anything else than a computer at work, at home, and maybe a cellphone -he shouldnt carry constantly on him-.

now your pulling radiation talk out of your ass? OK
anyway, just becuase your job at McDonald's doesn't require you to have a tablet on you, doesn't mean you can apply the same requirements to other jobs. Plus my and other companies BUY ipads for employees that work in the field. And you know how companies hate wasting money.

Android Phones Track Your Location, Too

A security researcher has discovered that smartphones running Google's Android operating system are tracking users' locations and storing that data in files on the phone. This news comes only days after it became widely known that a similar file on Apple's iPhone also logs a complete history of users' travels by way of timestamped latitude and longitude coordinates. The iPhone tracking file was revealed by data scientists Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden at O'Reilly's Where 2.0 conference in Santa Clara this week, raising serious enough privacy concerns to attract the attention of U.S. senators.

Android Snoops on You, Too

The recently discovered Android location files were found by Swedish programmer Magnus Eriksson, who created software called Android-locdump to search through Android-based devices' caches. The software parses two files called cache.cell and cache.wifi located in the /data/data/com.google.android.location/files directory on Android phones.

These two files, cache.cell and cache.wifi, contain records of the last 50 cell towers the device has communicated with and the last 200 Wi-Fi networks the phone has discovered, respectively.

However, unlike the file found on the iPhone, this data is overwritten as the files become full. Accessing the file also requires full administrator privileges (aka, "root" access)  to the device in question.

Research from another programmer, Samy Kamkar, purports that, "virtually all Android devices" send that location data back to Google. (These claims need to be investigated further, however.)

Again, do more research, the location tracking is an opt in service.  You are not required to participate, much different than apple.
