Who exactly wears watches anymore? Seems like they are only worn by older (35+) people who have worn them all of their lives (before the cell phone) or by young people who either have plenty of expendable income or are single and overly concerned with their appearance.
I used to wear a watch, but the batteries kept dying so I stopped wearing them. Now if I need the time, i just look at my phone.
Used to wear watches, one of the watch's battery died while the other got lost in a mall, fell out of my bag. I love wearing watches.
Always have, always will. (I am over 35). My current watch:

No. Sparky gave me a beautiful Tag Heuer but I can't get used to wearing it.
I didn't write that. Prove it!!!
Who's this Sparky you're talking about? You mentioned that name in the "What time do you usually sleep?"-thread.
On topic: No, i'm not wearing a watch anymore, but i would like to buy a nice classic watch, like Dirk's. It's a nice accessory.

19 here, never left the house/ apartment without it.
Currently using :
I (24) also never leave without one. I take it off when working on the computer, but other than that I wear it the whole time I am awake.
Using :
It is super thin and hypo-allergenic.
I wore a watch everyday through elementary and middle school, but once I got to highschool and started playing soccer I stopped wearing it. It became more of a hassle to make sure it was on and off when I couldn't wear it for sports so I just stopped.
Been wearing a watch since I was 5 years od an now I'm 18... Can't live without it(except on the shower, or on the beach). I just feel my wrist too light without it

Very clean and simple. I like!
I haven't worn a watch since 4th grade
I haven't worn a watch since getting a cell phone at 17, but now (20) I feel like I should start again. Just can't find a nice thin "aviator" style black watch I like.
Absolutely, ever since I got into running; wear it all day long.
I usually only wear a watch on school days
Nuff said
Frak the OP, we all wear watches. It's cool, and it makes you look less geek-douchey (taking out your phone to check the time?).
I broke the wrist-strap on mine and I've been looking for a place that does repair. So far, no luck.
Was wearing it few years back .. not any more .. because i can see the time on my PC or on my Windows Phone

How is this relevant to the HD2?
Behold!
amazing! very very nice
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET very retro ma man cool
Cool
this has got to be one of the most innovative accessories ever =) i have to ask: where can i get one? again, well done mate!
cheers
This one must be the one and only accessory we would need for our HD2. We should name it "How to turn your HD2 into HD7".
amazing :-D can you send me one?
found some in ebay, did a search and they're around 20 or so bucks from the uk or hong kong =)
a little curious though. the iphone's back surface is more "glossy" which imo works well with the plunger. given that the hd2's back is not the same, wonder if this will affect the plunger clinging on the surface...
I wonder what I will tell security or customs at the airport when they find this?
That's probably one of the longest crap for someone to sit through and thought that a plunger is the perfect novelty idea for a phone's kickstand
Very creative
OMG, this is iGreat!!!!
You can find it on Amazon for $6-7 a pop. It's sold by Perpetual Kid. It was originally designed for the iPhone but I bit the bullet and bought it to use for the HD2 and it works perfectly.
£4.99 incl P&P form Amazon UK, just ordered one thanks
That looks great!
How long does it stand?
Because I read on Amazon.co.uk the following review:
"But I haven't been able to make this thing work for periods longer than 5 minutes. Might be because I'm using it on an iPhone 4? Slightly disappointing and not that cheap. "
Does it fall off after 5 minutes? Or does it work for hours?
shouldnt it be white?
finally got one, found it being sold in a apple store quite near (5 bucks).
the good news: it does work on the hd2 despite my previous concern on the back surface not being as glossy as that of an iphone's
the bad news: if you were to stick the plunger towards the middle, expect it to pop out in like 5 or less minutes. must be the weight that's pulling down given the "angle". thus, i wouldn't recommend plugging it to give a 30' view. i plugged it towards the side giving it a 10'-15' view and it stayed on for like 2 hours (i think).

Thanks for the update Robson!
That makes things clear for me; I don't buy it. It's to dangerous if it falls down when I put it in a train or something. I don't want to take the risk. And I also don't want to make a profession of applying a iPlunger It should just work 100%, easy.
Sad to hear because it looked like a cool thing to buy for my HD2.

Great innovation which very cost effective..!!!
is it just me, or is the phone main selling point the ruggedized case? because the ads don't mention the fact at all that it's running on an 800mhz proc, 2.2 froyo.
i don't own the phone, just feel like the ads make it out like a....they focus mainly on the ruggedized of it. not that it's bad, it's just a different advertising campaign for a phone, and verizon probably isn't funding the ads. (because it's a mid-range device)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XejMy7DYacc
anyway, just a random blurb from me.
aside from that, didn't think casio could pull off a phone, don't they mainly make wrist watches?
Can't say I even know them for that,
I only know them for calculators :/
Anyway, this phone of thiers doesn't look particularly interesting.

no, there's another one where they strapped it to the back axel of a rally car and went around with it, came back at the end of the ad, thing was covered in mud, miracoiusly it still worked, yeah, who would want to do that to a phone?
i know it's meant for working in a tough field, but, the ad campaign is a little over the top, no?
and ias i said mid-range, highest it captures in video is crappy 360p
and as far as ruggedness, buy a freaking otterbox case, because that's pretty much what this phone's shell is.
Casio Commando is fun.
I was watching a Ken Block, insane Gymkhana video, under water with my Casio Commando, in a creek at Brevard College, in Brevard North Carolina. The water temperature was ice cold on July 4th, 2011. You have to make sure all doors on the phone are closed so you will not damage the phone. The screen is very sensitive to the temperature of the water. The water will actually control the phone because the phone thinks the water is your fingers. So is takes practice to enter the phone into the water without stopping the video.
Check out my video on YouTube at Casio Commando Underwater.
To record videos underwater with the Casio Commando, you have to
1) call someone and stay on the call
2) start the camcorder recording
3) tap the power button to turn off the screen. The phone thinks the water is your fingers and
the water will control your phone to do weird things such as stop recording. The sound of the speakers on the phone gets clogged with water so it does not sound good until the water drains out of the speakers. I blow on the different doors and holes on the phone to clear the water so I can hear the speakers. I wait on the phone to dry
completely before charging again or opening the doors for any reason.
I would like for someone to create a new rom for the Casio Commando.

Hey guys,
I've been having some problems with one of my petrol mowers lately, I've visited a number of different forums, but no-one seems to answer or even get the question you're asking. No matter how simple or well-worded it is.
That's why I decided to make this thread, because we're not all computer-freaks, but some of us are mechanics, others are electromechanics, while most others are software- and app-developers.
I guess I'll start off with my problem, because I really need help..
(This is just copied from a different forum, where I asked for help..)
A few days ago, my lawn mower (Briggs and Stratton Quantum XM-50) almost ran out of oil, to which it then turned off (I hadn't touched it). The next day, my Granddad bought me some synthetic oil, which I then poured generously into the motor - After that, because it's a habit of mine, I pulled down the accelerator and then gently pulled the cord so the oil could smoothly run across the piston.
About an hour later, I tried to start the engine, it just kept miss-firing and didn't want to start. I tried over and over again, for about an hour.
Then, with all my might, I pulled the cord and the carburetor caught fire!
I'm actually quite scared to even get near the cord, as of now, so I just put it in the shed and pulled the spark plug.
I really need to mow the lawn and I can't afford a professional repair or a new lawn mower, that's why I'm asking for help, as how I can get the lawn mower going again and maybe even how I could get a little more performance out of the motor.

Happy discussing and please help Lol.
Have a wonderful day! (No, I'm not on Drugs. I'm hungry...)
Did you pour it in the oil reservoir or the motor?

I know the briggs and stratton engines (used to work on them lots) it sounds like your carburettor is sticking or the float has a small hole in it, you need to strip it and clean the jets out and check the float . It's quite a simple job (about 20 mins)

Hmm. I cleaned the carburetor the other day.
But I got a bit scared while starting it and the starting mechanism broke. Lol :laughing:, once I've got a new one, I'll report back

About Me...Take a seat
Im all about android, since you are reading this I’m willing to bet you are too. From a Motorola Brick to a Samsung Galaxy Gear, I’ll show you how I fell in love with android. Sit back and relax as I lead you on my journey…. I recently searched for T-Shirts, hoodies, jackets, anything that I can wear with an Android based design. My results netted almost none at all. I found maybe one or two t-shirts. I was pretty disappointed that I could not walk to classes at The University of Kansas wearing something I supported so much. Here is my story.
My first phone was a brick from Motorola at the age 14. My mom placed my first phone on my birthday cake so I immediately thought it was fake. I remember thinking it couldn't be merely anything but a hollow dummy phone. To my surprise it was heavier than what I had expected. That birthday marked the long nights of playing snake.
At 15 my second phone came into my life. It couldn't just be any phone though. It had to have a color front LCD screen and play polyphonic ringtones. My mom and I settled on Kyocera. A flip phone on virgin-mobile. This phone served all a teenager's needs at the time. With this phone I was introduced to Java given the web browser. At the time there was absolutely no development from a 15 year-old’s standpoint. I was simply happy could browse Myspace on my phone.
When I was 16 everyone in high school had the Motorola Razr (today's IPhone) but I wanted something different. I wanted something just as good and just as slim. I could afford it since I started work at a Sonic nearby.... Making $5.15/hr plus tips I was basically rolling in money. 220 dollars later I ordered the Samsung A900 aka "The Blade" from eBay. It was dope at the time. It had front facing speakers, music control buttons, and a rotating camera. I’m just realizing it now but was the first selfie phone. :cyclops: To stand out I wrapped the phone in a money skin from ebay. I was pretty much the cool kid on campus.
While I was around 17 years old I bought my first smartphone. This also might be my first time finding xda, I joined in 2008. It was the HTC Vogue aka The Touch. It was my first ever touch screen phone and it had windows! I was amazed I could simply copy and paste files just like my computer and it only had 3 buttons. With unlimited texting/data and my Acura Integra I was living the life of a teenager.
18 years old I was still working at Sonic but now as a shift manager. The pay was great for my age while still living with my parents. Once my upgrade came along I decided to get another HTC. The Touch Diamond. All I ever wanted. It was a windows phone, it has a pretty good camera, AND it had a gyroscope built in! Now I can brag to my friends about this awesome game where you can tilt the phone in order to roll a ball through a maze.
Onward came the Motorola Droid. At this point I was 19 and recently accepted into the University of Kansas studying Mechanical Engineering. I remember sitting in English 101 discussing a topic about how technology has shaped us. The guy sitting next to me noticed my Droid on the desk and brought it up to the class. He said “His phone is basically a computer. He has a keyboard, he can send and receive email, and use the internet. The best thing about it is he can fit it in his pocket.”

Because of their size to the untrained eye a train appears to be going slower than it actually is. 8 or 9 out of 10 make this deadly error. You gauge a train's speed by stationary objects around it's path of travel. Telegraph poles or electric poles are convenient reference points. Error on the side of caution. Beware of the 2 or more trains at once on different tracks, the one you can't see can still kill you.
Don't trip on the tracks, ties or gravel holes as this can be a deadly mistake even with no train. The rails will break bones if you fall on them... always assume a train is coming. I've walked many miles on active lines starting at 6yo, still here.
