1800PocketPC.com -- What do you guys think ?

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

Need help looking for a new job

Not sure if there is a post for this already, or not? But what better place to try and network for tech job seekers than here on XDA, where tech is king? And where fellow enthusiasts can help each other.
Admins, if there is a better post, or place to put this in, please do so? Or maybe add a new forum for job networking? Because these days, it is tough finding a new job. Not everything is posted anymore. Now, you need places like LinkedIn, or other social areas, like XDA, to look for someone on the inside.
With that said, I will begin.
I am a desktop support tech, have been for near 20 years now. If you can call resurecting dead systems a "miracle", then I work miracles But all the jobs that I see advertised, or offers sent to me, are for help/service desk positions. Completely opposite of what I do. To be chained to a desk/phone the whole day, working from scripts, and with creativity prohibited, that is not for me. It is my creative mind, used to resolve the hard issues that others give up on, that makes me the great tech that I am. I am the one you can breath a sigh of relief, when you see me walking to your desk to fix your problem. I am there for you. And I enjoy being there for you. But right now, I need the help.
I am in the Irving area, the west side of Dallas, between Dallas and Ft Worth. I really need a true desktop support job, badly. But what I would really want most, is to find a job back in Southern California! Preferably in the Orange County area, but would take any desktop support job in SoCal, except for downtown LA. And to show how serious I am, I would be willing to pay a cash bonus to anyone who can get me a job to come back home to SoCal!
Please PM me with your contact info, and I will send you my resume and details. I truly appreciate any help that is given. Times are very tough these days, and help is very much needed.
If you need to check on me, I am always in the EVO 3D forums. Chogardjr, chad.goodman, Lucklui, scroosler, and others can vouch for me there that this is not some spam post.
Thank you all.

I see you are from the UK? That is my dream vacation, but never had a chance to go there In my old days, I used to race Spitfires (68, 72, 74), GT6 (73), English Ford Cortina GT6 (68), and two Lotus Europa S2's (69 Jimmy Clark Special and the 72 had a Renault Gordhini hemi race engine). Those were the days, fun cars that were true sports cars. My real dream job would've been to work for Lotus
And thanks for the tip.

Sorry OP, XDA is not the place for posting your resume, but I like your suggestion on adding a "Networking" forum and will add it to our list of site suggestions. Who knows...it could happen.

Volunteering to do UI/UX Design

Hi guys! First time poster, so I hope this is the right place for this. See, I've been a graphic/web designer for four years now, but I'd really like to branch out into mobile UI design. A lot of web design does take mobile devices into consideration, so I'm familiar with many of the particulars...but there's no substitute for experience.
Therefore, I'd like to volunteer my services to a app development project in return for experience and portfolio material. If anyone is interested, I can link you to my portfolio so you can see examples of my past work.

I'd be interested in testing. PM me.

Good mobile UI designer is a real treasure ) Please share your portfolio link.

Sure thing! My portfolio is over at redrobinarts.com. A lot of the relevant examples should be in the Business section.

I've seen your work. I'm a web designer and it would be great to have a graphics designer of your skill. Maybe we can work together?

Sure! Did you have a specific project in mind? Feel free to drop me a pm if you'd rather not discuss it in public.

Andromeda Epsilon Smartphone startup

Hi everyone!
Now I have bin designing a lot of phones as concepts and with that i keep learning more and more. Now i get a lot of mails about people asking me to join them in there bisnuss and design for them. Now I had this before and that was all a social test which cost me a lot of time.. But now! It's finally time to start something with a group of people.
Ryan of Andromeda came to me asking me if I could be there designer and well that's what I have bin doing now and I have bin working hard on creation a great design but also one that is great in the hands!
With that we started to go to the first fase and in this we started a Gofundme page, If you guys have time it would be great if you could look at it for now I will place renders within this thread and I wish to invite you to watch the phone and maybe help us get there by either donating or sharing the page! every single bit of help is welcome!
Mod edit: Link removed
It would be a great honor.
What I am doing in Basic is designing the phone and I would also do the commercials, animation and right now also wallpapers.
I worked hard on getting here and I truly hope it can go furder then this and do this as a job!
We will also send when all is furder devices to good reviewers to make the best device we can in design and experience!

while that was funny, We really are trying to get this lifted off the ground. If not then kindly share it, all we are trying to do is pursue our dreams and feel that being on XDA developers which is not only fellow phone guys but people of a community that help people. again we thank you very much for taking the time out and help us

Okay, why should I (or anyone) fund you? It looks like the only thing your company has now are some renders. You're throwing around all these high end specs but your company has no experience designing phones. You're in the early stages of development and you're already quoting $549 as the price? You seriously think you can offer a high quality phone with these high end specs? The other major players in the market already have tons of experience, tons of connections. I suggest instead of trying to crowdfund, you try to get actual investors on board. Good luck!

Sorry, but XDA isn't here to help you make money, regardless of the cause.
