Phone- tech dudes......help....

Blackberry or Android

bbm is amazing, but andriod is on another level. You can set up wifi on your android - among many other things

yeah, 1 level above Symbian^3, 1 level below windows 7, 10 levels below ios.

personally i would hold off for now.

today at the ces conference a whole load of new superphones were announced.

1. samsung infuse - highlights include - 4.5" super amoled plus screen, 1.2ghz hummingbird processor. slim design

2. motorola atrix/bionic - highlights include - 4.3" quarter hd resolution screen (540 x 960), dual core tegra 2 processor, 1gb ram, 4g network, 1930ma battery, fingerprint reader, slim design


3. lg optimus x2 - highlights include - dual core tegra 2 processor, slim design.

4. playstation phone - highlights include playstation controller, and playstaion app ( although i would bet every penny i have that someone will rip it from the software and port it to the other android phones within weeks of its release.)


out of them the motorola stands out from the rest as the most powerful phone, but samsung still have another phone to announce (perhaps tomorrow) - the galaxy s2, which may feature the dual core orion processor said to be 4x as powerful as the tegra   and it will feature a super amoled plus screen too.

definately wait.

I'm waiting for a cell phone to come out that can suck my cock and lick my balls.

Dude these phones are WAYYYY too big, who the hell wants to carry around a brick again, it's like going back to the first (blue) blackberries around 2003, these phones are almost the size of samsung's wannabe ipad tablet, I'm sure the processing power is cool but they just look uncomfortable as hell to use.

Also what in the bloody fuck would you need a dual core processor for on a phone ?!?!! who runs photoshop on their phone!? lol  it's just becoming silly, 99% of people use phones to talk/sms/bbm not to run multi threaded tier 1 type apps.

[Captain Equipoise]

i can help groink.

what you have is pretty standard lag that appears on all galaxy s phones due to the dodgy .rfs file system.

thankfully for you the geeks on xda have developed a fix.

the change the phone to use the ext2 file system instead.

its a .apk file.

Copy over the APK file onto your phone, and run/install it as normal using 'My Files'. There will be a 'One Click Lag Fix' app installed. Run that, and select the option you want!

then do not use or touch ur phone till it finishes 10 mins later at least.

i put it on megaupload for you.

enjoy.

Weren't you the one spouting off a few months ago how the galaxy was the best phone ever designed and would rule all phones when it came out ?!

yes - it is, even with a dodgy file system - its that powerful.

won't work....android OS blocks it.

Actually a simple battery pull remedied the situation. but thanks dude

And yes the Galaxy is a killer phone....my buddy has an Iphone 4 and it isn't as good as mine, which he admits...they are also gay


I'm really not a phone guy though so I really can't say which is "better"  the only reason I got this phone is because I was up for a renew and I know the manager at the ATT store. So between his discount and the renew I paid less than a hundred for a six hundred dollar phone...or I wouldn't be rocking this thing

Thanks for your help FP

the lag will keep happening until you install that root fix unfortunately.

however once you do it will fly like this:

That's not even overclocked....

My phone is running at 1.2GHZ without breaking a sweat. However, that thing looks like it's running a lot faster...

When a ginerbread (android 2.2) rom comes out..Hopefully, i get that type of speed, that the nexus has.

yes the lag fix really makes it fly - the over clock + lag fix makes it take off 

once the nexus s roms are hacked properly it will really be unstoppable.

Blackberries are for N88gers and low white trash.. Just saying.

Some Agencies of the Fed Gov. give out Blackberries to their employees

[Danny]

i am a long time blackberry user....i switched to iphone.....and went RUNNING back to blackberry...all the apps in the world cant make up for being such a shitty piece of shit phone...

I just did that about a month ago except I went to a Samsung Galaxy..drove me fuckin nutS!!!!!!went back to my ol' trusty Bold. The functionality of this thing is freakin awesome. Simple and efficient.

for me i want to watch movies on my phone without going cross eyed, and not run out of battery after 1 movie.

i also want to stream that movie to my tv over the air.

i want to listen to music for a week straight ( which the dual core tegra phones will do)

i want to play snes,nes,gen, psx, n64 emulators using a ps3 controller and hooked up to my tv.

i want to surf the web, listen to music, download a torrent, check emails, at the same time.

i want to record and watch hd movies on my phone that is not choppy.

is that enough ?

So you want to use your phone for nothing it was designed for and for what something like a ps3 would make more sense for...!? I guess I can understand somewhat since you guys in Europe mostly use public transportation and trains as opposed to in N.America where everybody drives.

i also want to make calls 

ideally i'd like this below with a processor powerful enough to run full speed windows xp/mac os if possible.

[Hulkotron]

iPhone is great for talking on the phone (do people still do this?) and dicking around.  If you're going to be doing actual work then probably a BB.

All I can say is you're a demanding dude.. I just upgraded one of my phones (I use 2) to the new blackberry flip (style) I love it, it's tiny, light, fits in any pocket and has a huge screen and full size qwerty keyboard (I text a lot) my other phone is an iphone, love both of them for different reasons, if I didn't own every other possible toy/gadget like psp, ds lite, 2 ipad's and about 5 ipod's , not to mention hacked ps3 and 2 hacked xbox 360's then I could see your point, but I got more then enough gear to occupy my time, I have about 400 books on the ipad's alone not to mention about 30 movies and netflix.

quite a collection.

i have an iphone, its great for being a phone, txing, and internet surfing. but to damn restricted.

ideally i'd like to get 1 super phone that does it all. less clutter and as mobile as can be.

i have high hopes for the new meego operating system ( that pic above might be the phone that it runs on) as its a full linux operating system, not just a mobile operating system. although it sounds like it is going to be a huge fail by all accounts, with the first few phones they run on having a shitty processor, small screen, low memory, software buggy, etc according to rumours. if they are true i don't see how it can compete with the dual core superphones mentioned above.

the new nokia e7 design looks nice too.


i've personally never used a blackberry, but everyone i know that has one loves them.

[HTexan]

Symbian^3 sucks man. Too bad, the N8 is a beautiful phone tho.
the ps store is going to be available on android>1.6 and iphone >4.x. no gamepad tho.
