Thinking of getting a small device for my mom. - Off-topic

What should I pick, she needs WM. I was thinking the S743 since it can work on at&t and its small and compact. What other devices should I consider?
I need something cheap though lol.

Given the fact that "none" of us know how sabi your mom is about cell phones, I'll recomend the HTC Dash...easy to use...easy to type and is hackable

Give her a hug. If you still live with her, buy her dinner. If not, call her. That'll do.

Savvy .
She used to have the blackjack, this one will seem simpler since its smaller. All I have to do is show her what she needs and shes good. I would prefer at&t 3G bands, plus the dash is a bit dated.

Then get the Dash 3G.

You don't understand lol, we are on at&t.

Hmm do you happen to know the 3G bands it has?

None are AT&t compatable.

I suggest the LG Incite, easy to use WM and works with AT&T 3G since its a AT&T phone. Cheap and not very dated. I have one for sale that's brand new if you want it

The S743 is, it has 1900/850mhz UMTS bands.

Yea, but it's expensive.

Ummm if you want to selll your device use market place...

It's already their.

I'm thinking of the rose, but I want to know if there is anything that can compare. A blackberry style device is cool as well.

Go for HTC Rose!
Price is higher but it has a great re sell price as almost all HTC devices

must...change....misleading.....title....

Wow. $9.99 for the good-looking HTC keyboard instead of the fugly AT&T version we Tilt owners got stuck with. Too bad I don't have the nerve to dismantle my phone to make the swap.

Your Kaiser and your spermies

Recent article on CNN I'm sure you all saw:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/09/18/cellphone.sperm/index.html?iref=newssearch
The article says cell phones left in talk mode in your pocket can affect sperm quality significantly. As if nerds needed any MORE trouble breeding.
Anyway, nobody leaves there cell phone in talk mode while its in your pocket unless your using bluetooth. You do leave it in talk mode next to your head as well. If the radiation affects your "gonads" then surely its affecting other cells as well, including our brains. Obviously telling our cell phones to poll our email servers and bring in new messages every x amount of minutes while there in our pockets uses the radio as well, probably equivalent of leaving it in talk mode.
How much radiation does our Kaiser, or any pocket pc, put out compared to an ordinary cell phone?
Should we put away our fancy toys?
Discuss.
Since 'no' is too short of a reply I've been forced to write this out explaining that 'no' is too short of a reply, in any case, no.
Marvel has proven that radiation does anything but weaken the human body.
It explains why women just SEE me using my phone and get themselves pregnant.
I always knew those brass ones would come in handy someday...
I belive most handsets are/can be no more then 1/2 a watt.
Mine were swimming in circles anyway. THC FTW.
Well, mine checks email every 5 minutes. My wife and I are 4 months along LOL. I dont think you guys have anything to worry about
Unless mine are just superswimmers to start with
It's how buster got his
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Gonad
=-o Really?
SO.... I will put my Kaiser to RecyclationBin
No. I'm kidding.
BTW: Do you know as phones "sending" microwaves?
So... Wih more than 2 phones you can made popcorn :-D
Mine are just fine....

Unlocked G1 work with BOOSTmobile...

I have an unlocked G1 and wanted to know if I could use boost mobile with it. Considering there's a sim card with boost phones...
And if so, would i loose out on any features? internet? market?
Boost runs on the iDen network, which does not support GSM radio bands, so no.
Hey, this is Rachel from Boost Mobile. To answer you question, a Boost Mobile SIM will only work in a Boost Mobile handset. Any other phone would not be compatible with the technology. Hope that helps.
Okay... I'm done answering stupid questions on Q&A. I'm getting a headache and I'm feeling really pessimistic about the knowledge of smart phone users.
I'm out. Sorry. I just can't do this anymore tonight.

Common sense alone would tell him that boost doesnt use sim cards and the G1 is a GSM phone.
Lol, do you guys just troll the QA board to make fun of people?

LIES.
I used Boost mobile sim cards in my old Nextel i730. When Nextel was bought out by Sprint, I decided I no longer wanted the service. But I had a lot of contacts that only had 2-way at the time so I needed to have a way to keep in touch with some of them. So I bought a Boost prepaid sim and threw it in the Nextel phone. Of course there was the problem of activating my phone because I owed Snextel money. I just used another ESN number from one of the 20 phones I had laying around and went on my way happy way.

Im using my G1 on EVDO right now and its Grrreat!
I heard they said Dream users onj sprint get free upgrade to HTC Bravo or the Lenged, i cant wait to get those new andros when they come out. The Dream is sinlge bandit phone(Locked to HTC-Mobile of Taiwan) When you dial #6782# it will give you free unlim data plus free text to ur girl for free!
I hate stupidity, especially on this site, and even more so when a simple google search would have answered the question. I don't get it, how can one find this site, register, and manage to create a new thread, yet one cannot perform a simple google search?

Should I switch or not?

So I just moved to US and my brother got my the worst Sprint phone ever. I seriously want to upgrade. I had a look at the Sprint store and I am eligible for the upgrade in 2014 which sucks. I can buy a replacement phone from Sprint but they have super crazy prices over there.
So my next option was to buy a used one online. So I found some great deals for used ones and I am satisfied with them. But here comes the dilemma.
My friend told that I could get a TMobile Sim card for a $0.99 (http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit) and then use any GSM unlocked phone.
So the Question is whether I should switch to tmobile and go pre-paid OR buy a used one right now and then after 2 years be more happy!
What would you guys do?
Thanks
Yeah, I like pancakes.

You can't use a T-Mobile SIM card in your Spirit phone so either way you need buy a used phone. (Whether it's a Sprint compatible one or a T-Mobile one). Personally, I hate CDMA phones. I'd go with T-Mobile.

These sell for like $0.01 on ebay (seriously)
Haven't tried them personally but I've been told that they supposedly work pretty well. I personally wouldn't stick my phone above my stove though.
Here's the idea

Never tried these, but I use something called PuGoo http://www.udsproducts.com I love it & it works well!
If we are thinking of sticking the Note II to the wall, wouldnt VESA mounts be a better solution

Please share your findings, because the cheapest one i could find was:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/Car-Anti-Sli...Accessories&hash=item20c0f4e9b1#ht_1292wt_906
Here it's less expensive than yours but much more than 0.01$ http://cgi.ebay.fr/Car-Anti-Slip-Pad-Mat-Camera-GPS-MP3-Phone-For-HTC-Nokia-Samsung-LG-iPhone-4-4S-/110931201286?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d403cd06
I've ordered one this morning to try

I bought one from this seller (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Car-Gri...047?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c1c8637f) for $0.09 but they only ship to the US
The buy it now listings on ebay go for more than a dollar but the auction ones sell for very low ie. $0.09
I've been using this for more then a year in my car. Every month or so, i'll take it out and wash it with soup as it does attract dust and dirt. Works like it should. Got it for around US$1 only.

I own this one, Grippy, and its pretty awesome. I can actually stick my phone to the wall and leave it. I actually have it on the lid of my laptop holding stuff there. Nothing ever moves from it unless I want it to.
okay, got mine from ebay in the mail today... for $0.09... not bad
my phone stuck to a door
