I use SEARCHto find my answers
Like most users, I use nothing to make my kaiser look like an iphone
I tried out Slide2unlock purely for it's locking abilities, and had to take it off because of the irritating fake interface, trying to pretend to be something it's not - yuk. Give me honest old Winmo anytime.

You must be a carpenter, you lined that nail up and hit it right on the head!!!
It's like once a week some n00b posts a redundant thread about the iphone, if they search they can find plenty of answers.
If you like the iphone THEN BUY ONE.
Im sure i just opened a bag of worms, and by the end of they day, there will be tons of replies about how nice the GUI is and everything else these trendy tree hugging iphone lovers can think of to defend their theory.
Fact is the iphone sucks (and thats a fact)

Anti Apple fanboys!
I think some of the comments from the antiapple fanboys are a little harsh. The fact is the guy has bought a Kaiser and likes the look of the iphone, so to him he's probably got the best of both worlds. I think everyone who immediately slags the iphone isn't seeing the full picture. It may have its faults with office syncing, no ability to configure etc.. but it is undoubtedly a thing of beauty with an interface that is ahead of it's time.
It amazes me that with all the hacking and modding going on in this forum that as soon as the dreaded "iphone" word is used all the antiappleheads race to be the first to flame the originator.
I would have given serious consideration to the iphone if it had the same functionality as the Kaiser but we all make choices. I for one think if people want to dress their Kaisers up as an iphone then fair play. I don't imagine anyone here with be giving the developer of slide2unlock a hard time for his app.
I'll wait for the inevitable backlash, yawn!!!!!

Yeah, Hi Guys,
I have an iPhone that I paid $499 for. Is there any software I can spend lots of money on to make it look like a Windows Mobile device. I could have bought a Tilt for the same money, but why , when I can just buy an Iphone and make it look like a Kaiser. Your help is appreciated Thanks

My wife's got an iPhone. Cool device indeed. So cool that I find it ridiculous to try to copy it's interface to our Kaiser. The Kaiser's simply not meant to be used like an iphone.
There's 2 different philosophy behind, it's like trying to adapt 7 seats cause you like space in a Mini or a Smart cause you like tiny little cars.
BUT using good ideas from the iphone that obviously can be adapted and adds value to the Kaiser is a good idea. I think that's exactly what HTC has done with the Diamond.

I did a forum search using the key phrase " petty bickering over suggestions to search " and would you believe it ? It took me to the end of every thread on this site. Can we stop now?

Over 1000 topics regarding the iphone, just in the xdadev site alone, so dont critisize me for telling someone to search, I rest my case http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...phone&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
USE THE SEARCH TOOL, and every other "senior member" will tell you the same thing.
The way I look at it is this, if someone has something new to add, it may not be in a search, as it is the guy is obviously new to the forum so rather than lambasting him immediately why not gently break him in. We were all new to this once and there's way too many bashers here already

I know I do.
KD8DNS, I see this thread to be more of a preference thread, like a discussion on what people like and don't like. I guess it could be useful, if you actually care about the IPhone. (the new Iphone looks like it might be nice)
Tater, how may I protect myself from said Evil White Dot?

Hi fellas
I have a windows mobile site 1800PocketPC.com, its just over a year old. I was wondering if you guys have heard of it ?
We usually post about freewares and the latest hardware news about windows mobile. We dont have a forum for people to hang out coz we think as long as xda-devs and ppcgeeks are there why would anyone need a forum for windows mobile. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism about the site and ways we can improve the site.
You can also subscribe to our RSS ot Twitter
I know your site for some time and it´s very good, I like the format (exept for a narrower line of adds on the right)
Congrats!
I go all the time
I really like the site,
only thing is you could be be a little bit more "selective" or "picky"
At least what I think this could be "Pearls and beauty" of xda-developers.com for the average guy.
- I really like the category style!
- The Wallpaper stuff: Naaaahh I think you will catch some fishes with this but is it really needed? I think it makes the site look a bit cheap.
- RSS and twitter is great: every Headline was a hit so far (well some exeptions but I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder).
- Customisable rss and twitter by categorys and user would be the ultimate I think (but this would almost need the power of a socialnetwork)
- You are already on the top scores of google! (at least when I search for something)
- You can discover the real beauty of google translator when visiting your site Microfi Nitrogen -> Microfi Stickstoff (Germans get the joke)
but besides of the jokes it can be really usefull.
- I can´t test right now but have you checked "freedom from barriers"? The new "touchscreen generation" of phones might be great for handicapped persons. Would also be great to have a rating system for them as well.
So far really great
THX for this site
thanks for the kind words fellas.
@ moesfeld : Customisable rss and twitter by categorys is a great idea, I will look in to getting it done in the near future.
I am in the dark about "freedom from barriers" , do you have any links from where I can read more regarding this ?
Hi sajio,
You have really done a great job with the site, i actually am now quite addicted to your site to catch on the software which i miss on XDA. So keep up the good work and i hope with all the frequent updates and personal attention, you have made it full of valuable resources. What i think is keep your site fresh alway like you do now, and you would not need anything additional.
Regards
Sharif Ansari

Well it pretty much depends on what cms you use. Many have the "accessability for disabled" already inbuild.
I found the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Also I found the Web Accessibility Toolbar that lets you check if you meet the guidelines.
I know your site a while ago, and I like very much.
Keep it up
I go there @ll the time nice job!
thanks guys
i love it and subscribe to rss for it. thanks for you hard work.
you are welcome
Hi,
I am Wen. Alot of you know me for either working on XDA's front page or WMPoweruser.
Well I am looking for someone that would be willing to work for one of my sites.
The site is new, and I just made it last night after being bored.
The site is a general phone site, so can talk about any phone news, which means your job is really easy.
All you do is:
Find 10 interesting news anywhere in the web about phones( I like smartphones more than dumb phones, but either works)
Write about it.. with good English and grammar.
Post it or schedule it to post the next day 1 hour apart.
This job isn't hard, and you will get paid for it. And if your good enough, you will either get a raise or I will find a bigger higher paying site for you, but only if you work hard.
What are the benefits of being an editor. Well you get to review phones(right now, I have the Palm Pre, Pixi, Motorola Droid, Devour and more. all to review). you get free things(right now I have the Jabra Stone, and Jabra Halo).
You can have all that if you work hard enough, and this job doesnt require much.
My pay can be discussed if you PM me.
BTW you might want to know that site you will write for:
MobileBlab
Its only 24 Hours old
A couple qualifying questions...is this US-based equipment? How do you anticipate to have the editor experience the technology first hand so they can write about it. I'm sure that you don't want someone to write about things second-hand. I mention this because you cannot steal photos and stories from others without subscribing to their site or network.
you read sites and write news... i dont need a reviewer just yet. and yes usa
Which is the same thing, you should not be stealing stories from other sites or write about news second hand. You've got to be able to put up stories that don't exist elsewhere, especially in the digital world today. What you need is underground sources that can feed information to your "editors" to put out stories. The only way to take second-hand information, from stories that already exist on the web, and use them to your advantage is to aim your site at a specific section of the market. Even then, you need permission to run the story and pictures.
A perfect example is Tmonews.com. They take stories and just publish the ones that are relevant to T-Mobile users. A generic phone site won't catch on.
I DO, however, have an idea that will catch on because I'm not seeing it elsewhere right now and it would be the perfect time to market the site. PM me if what I say makes sense and you're interested.
I am not quite sure what your saying because all the sites do that.. its not called stealing unless you dont link back to them.... Engadget is the biggest example alot of their news are from other sites.. so they just link to them and use the news.
So... ya.
But I will PM you to see what you have to say

I'm not a news follower but rather a tweaker/tester kind of guy. I share my discoveries with the rest of the world with nice tutorials.
If you need someone to write easy-to-follow guides or to review phones (I tried every platform but WebOS and Nokia's), then I'm your man. You can see samples of what I write on my blog (blog.nicolasbouliane.com).
UPDATE: By the way, you won't get many visitors with copypasta since most people refer to a single site for these news (generally Gizmodo) and won't like reading the same stuff a day later on another blog. A simple description with a referal (à-la Lifehacker) will do the job for anything that's not original content. You should instead try getting visits from Googlers looking for a specific topic.
I would be very interested in this type of position. Where would I need to submit a sample of my work? FYI, hiring a woman with tech knowledge is very chic these days
So you girls really do exist!
Really, a female.. great ill PM you... now I need One more.. and If I get more than 1, I have more than 1 sites... I have http://theandroidfeed.com and http://mobileosnews.com
count me in I'm pretty there when it comes to phone news
what do I have to do generally
I still think you should be more specific in your market.
Answer this question: Why should I go to mobileblab over engadget, mobilecrunch, techcrunch, cnet, wmexperts, or coolsmartphone?

well engadget, cnet, == iphone bias and I know when I read a phone review site I get tired of those biases personally
taking a look at mobileblab I think it has potential but that's just my opinion of course...gotta start somewhere

Very true, but that was the same question that was answered when Engadget and Mobilecrunch linked stories to my other site....
Engadget doesnt post as much news as my other site does.. and ya, thats why I have a regular reader base, because the readers know this.

Hay guys, I am wondering... I would like to start a new blog, but I do not know what about. I don't want another phone site, I was thinking a car blog or an online deals blog... I am not sure. Any ideas guys?
I will also need some editors that would like to work on this new blog, and depending on the xperiance.. I could pay

A car blog would be cool. A deals blog may be a bit too involved .. unless your just posting deals and not necessarily selling or buy things on your blog site. Are you looking to have other people post on it or just strictly byou blogging?
I have 2 blogs myself.
Strangethingsinajax.blogspot.com (basically just wierd or interesting news from around the city i live in but not limited too)
TheSourceSports.blogspot.com (sports rumours and news with a twist)
Both are kinda new but its a cool way to write about stuff.. just goes to show you can write about anything that interests you... u just need an idea. I just recently started writing about the whole rogers mandatory fiasco.. I even created a facebook group for it!
A blog with random secrets and tips. Most people don't know that clicking with the middle button in Firefox opens a new tab or that the F2 key renames files in Windows Explorer or that holding the power button then the middle button on the iPhone can reset the device or force close an application.
Cars, for sure.

I PMed you... and it seems the Car blog is becoming the winner here... and I dont sell anything, so no, just like deals from everywhere on the web, because there is no site that does that.. like a central blog that tells you all the deals and stuff.

I voted for fashion, but, then your reader base would be limited. So....CARS!
Cars is good (though it depends on what kind of cars of course). Maybe racing orientated (and by that I don't mean F1, but the "proper" stuff like LMS, ALMS or V8 Supercars )
I'd rather read a blog about sex secrets and dirty tales
Many men would want that
check out the new car site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5811749#post5811749 I did it all tonight, so if you guys wanna write for the site... please PM me, because I do not own a working car anymore and I cannot write about something I do not know about.

Hey, I was viewing reddit and someone made a neat spreadsheet to help people track kind of estimate their shipping info. I know there is a shipping/tracking thread, but I thought this was neat enough to deserve its own thread. If the mods decide it's not, that's totally cool. Also, I did a quick search on this site to see if this has been posted yet, I did not see it, so forgive me if I missed that.
Anyways, It's not the most reliable source since there could be a ton of issues, like people not updating once they get their tracking number or phone, or people selecting the wrong country, but it is something.
Here's a link to the reddit post:
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/14ah75/spreadsheet_to_track_nexus_4_shipping_any_country/
Link to putting in your own info:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHhabEZuYjJIUEdwNFd0TkJrNmY1amc6MQ
Link to compare what others have put (the actual spreadsheet):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmM6lFxEl6RMdHhabEZuYjJIUEdwNFd0TkJrNmY1amc
Like I said, take this with a grain of salt, but I think it's good for helping us roughly (and by that, I mean VERY roughly) estimate when we should be getting our phones.
Thanks for this. Found a useful tracking sheet, how to find out the status of my order AND a new reddit community to join. 3 for the price of 1.
Doing God's work son!
