Stuck in the past *facepalm* - Off-topic

So this friend of mine, 17 year old girl, uses a keypad based Sony dumbphone with a broken call speaker (so she has to use full speaker to make calls) refuse to buy a new phone cause all the stores around here only sell Android/WM/iOS devices, and she hates touch screens, she's willing to spend up to 200 dollars on ebay to get a new phone of the same damn model from 2006, and states that "All smartphones are only good for, is Angry Birds"
I just find the arrogance frustrating and needed to get out some air, hehe

She has her preferences and you have your preferences, neither are wrong.
Let people enjoy what they enjoy

I did? I even helped her find her phone on ebay. I did not ask to be patronised I simply wanted to share the story. Ugh.

You know you can't change a women when there mind is stuck on something. Trust me on this,I work at a bar.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.
........Death before dishonor........

Tbh i somewhat envy her: my passion for smartphones has probably made me waste a little part of my precious brain cells and for sure a great amount of time. God, i had to use a Nokia N70 for about 15 days while i was waiting for my GS2 and my Desire was already sold, and i cannot express with words the peace of mind i felt for a few days: at the beginning it was like living in hell, but after a while i left most of my compulsive phone habits (checking this and that every now and then) and i experienced a few days of true peace of mind. Ofc after a while you get bored, but man you should try that feeling at least once in your life before you throw some poor naive girl in the middle of this crazy world. Smartphones can become insane time vampires for some people, and that isn't always a good thing

let me see man

Give her a new phone for christmas. You ARE Justin Bieber's norwegian brother aren't you?

The anti-iPhone thread (BOO, HISS!)

In honor of it's glorious release today, I felt we needed a thread.
What a marketing sham, especially the "this is the internet, internet" ad. When it's limited to EDGE? Mmmm hmmmm.
I read a WSJ review in which Jobs was questioned about it. He claimed they were "sandwiching" 3G on the bottom with pervasive EDGE and WiFi on the top, which is much faster than 3G anyway. Hahahaha.
I'll keep my 8525, thanks. What say you?
iPhone -> Device for the fashion victims...nuff said.
I mean not adding 3G support is a tad silly since it will need a fast connection to get music at a decent speed.
I will not buy one. iPhone is all fluff IMO. I am eagerly awaiting the Kaiser.
Best Of Both Worlds
We need to add some of the cool features that the iphone has on our 8525 so it well be the best phone that is out right now. Also waiting on the Kaiser and cant wait to see what cool rom that will come out for it.

exactly what i thought.
the newest overrated overpriced price of fasion crap in the united states YEY!
i work mall security so i got to kick all their retarded iphone wanting ass off property until 5am. Then when they came in line I started showing everyone my iphone look a like rom on my hermes (cing 8525). look i have google map, look i have wifi, OMG a media player, and wow my doesnt cost 600-700 bucks + tax. i kicked the crap out of their hearts. after about 30 minutes of argueing with me they finally gave up... yea the revolutionary devise for morons that have been in the dark... so ignorant. my phone is like a year and a half old lol.
i luved how they all had no idea the full onscreen keyboard sucks and miss understands u often. gg retards, waste of money. i thought about it for a sec and thought wow... the only good iphone is a linux running iphone haha. gg pwnt...
When I had the 8125, I was disappointed by the processing speed and responsiveness of the unit. However when I got my 8525, I am much much happier. The increase in processor speed and maybe the fact that it's not the same manufacturer processor makes the world of difference. Now I'm itching to see a 1Ghz unit! Wheee!

M$ is so frigging stupid.. They could have TOTALLY STOLEN the spotlight from iPhone if they simultaneously coordinated the release of the official Windows Mobile 6 with the release of iPhone... They refuse to market their product, I mean, even with the BlackJack commercials they make NO mention of Windows Mobile.. Has Bill finally lost his mind with all that money he has?

Errrm, well...
a) WM6 has been released for some devices, including some Hermes models (that new Dopod release, for one).
b) AT&T is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone... why would they release WM6 for the 8525 prior to iPhone's launch?
c) Bill Gates could spend the money he's already got as fast as he can with both hands and still not spend it all before he's dead.
'Nuf said.
Beleive me when I say it, M$ has a say in some capacity as to when certain products can be offered... What M$ says is law in the world today.. yes some devices have already been given the upgrades, but I think a universal launch would have been good for the windows mobile based devices.. I can't wait until I see the first punk kid with his shiny new useless iPhone so I can give him a good flaming on what a REAL pda is..
sure he could have done some sort of release at the same time but would it have really hurt?
all the retard apple junkies would still be retard apple junkies, heres a joke and a fact in one.
what can a microsoft user do that a mac user cant? shut the **** up!
i swear they are all just hippys that think they can frigin change the world with there blogs about the dumbass insignificant boring lives, why do they have video blogs and **** like that? becuase they cant find anything else better to do...
hmm so, honestly in short. the iphone is an awesome "top of the line" (notice i didnt type revolutionary) phone for idiots... people that cant figure out ANYTHING on their own... apple was very smart in making a powerful phone with MANY shortcomings Idiotproof... that is the cold hard truth.
if anyone one of those mac luving morons did their research and actually bought the "best" phone, they would be heading over to htc.com
first is was the motorola razr, now its the iphone. Wm7 next? haha
i luv how macs lovers like to think that there macs and crap are customizable becuase that have different color schemes... lmfao. wow blue, wow red... what is the scheme to make the iphone not suck? oh yea it doesnt exist... its still just the overrated overpriced new crap fad from america. i cant wait til they use their keyboards muwhaha. "wtf i pressed p and it typed o, wtf.. w and i pressed e..." I'll love to hear that ring.
im not gonna get in this debate about ms vs mac or gates vs jobs. all i know is...
the iphone is a jerk off
all show and no substance
no mms
no 3g
on screen qwerty covers up things you are replying to
no video messaging
no browser plugins!!!!
safari only (kmfa)
no sim
no mp3 ringtones
plus the silly a** price
no REAL third party apps
that in my humble opinion means it is not worth the trouble. i must admit i wanted one at least to tinker with. but after reading specs. its a big hell no for me. the iphone could have been an htc, pocket pc/smartphone, for that matter-every phone killer and it fell short.
I agree with you hiimcliff
People in the know....know not to waist their $ on this glorified ipod
Waiting on the Kaiser myself ... a real device.

the only good thing that can come out of the iPhone is that Microsoft gets its head out of its ass and starts working on making WM even better. They have a long way to go.

next up is ringtones, i luv how apple will milk there customer for all the money they got.
u like a song so u buy it, oh wait ur phone cant play mp3s... *damnit* oh look ringtone section only 99 cents omg!
i think most of us just get sound program cutter and clip one then format it to a decent size... at least that is what i do.
I must say you guys are all idiots. You are the kind of people who pick something to hate for no reason. I on the other give things a chance and dont have my opinion made up before ive tried something out. I myself am not a huge Apple fan have never owned a mac or ipod but i got to try out my brothers ipod as compared to my cingular 8125 and i am happy to say that it made my 8125 look like a sorry piece of **** that it is.
For you to say its no good or that Apple is no good is just ignorant if you havent tried it

your name calling and 4 posts show us all who is boss.
if you read the thread then you see the list of things that the phone is missing. but by all means spend $500 for the iphone and $59-99 for the plan, and $29 each nintendo retro game, and $.99 each ringtone; while i enjoy my $39.99 plan with $29.99 internet plan, free .mp3 ringtones, and a phone that does everything the iphone does and more with no restrictions.
first of all, it's not hard to make a 8125 look bad.. Considering it's bulky design, slow processor, etc... If you had a Hermes you would be whistling a different tune.

HTC, I've had enough of your BS.

Allright guys,
I hate to do this, but I'm sick of getting flipped off and getting broken promises from HTC. If I wanted those, I'd just get into another relationship with what seems to be a nice girl at a bar. I've sent in more than 9 hand written letters and countless emailed ones. I've made the proverbial ****-ton loads of phone calls. And all this through my own, free time. And I know that I'm not the only one. There is an army of people here who've written, pleased, asked politely and signed a petition. We've lambasted through what seems to be HTC's "cover fire" on the issue. After being dicked around, I didn't want a politically correct and savvy response to the issue that tells me nothing at all. For the money I paid, I wanted the basics. What, When, Where, Why. What was the problem? When Will it Be Resolved? Why has this been overlooked? If I can't get away from my girlfriend with a politically correct and savvy response to the issue of why I spent $700 on a new phone, then I don't believe HTC can use that ploy either.
Yea we've all heard this rant before, but I'm sick of this. If **** doesn''t change soon, I'm taking my business and my accounts elsewhere. It's sad when I have to degrade myself to think about rebuying the iphone. But hell even if we all know the iphone doesn't have all the features the tilt does, at least IT DOES WHAT IT'S PROMISED TO DO. No Smoke and mirrors. No concise and no business response. It just does what it's supposed to do out of the box.
Good luck everyone. This may be the last HTC product I'll ever buy.
P.S. And for all those who say this is a Business Device, not an entertainment device: As a business user, it's pretty damn hard to tell a client "HOLD ON, I NEED TO SWITCH TO LANDSCAPE MODE" or "GIMME A FEW MORE SECS TO SHOW YOU THIS EXCEL SHEET. WAIT, IT'S LOADING. ALMOST...." Even us business users are getting pissed off.
And, again, I hate the iphone, but how many of them do you see complaining because their device doesn't do an advertised feature? Or is misadvertised?
I was a huge fan of I-Mate.
But the Kaiser seemd to be good. That's why I bought it.
I think this will be the last HTC I own. Gonna stick with I-Mate for ever.
We need to sue those *****es.
yes i agree at first i was im love with my tilt but when my video recording capabilities sucked arse and simple things like scrolling while playing music makes the device lag now u know its a problem ive hear dof frigging wizards playing games better than this and they tote this as it being the most powerful windows device out but i was still gonna buy another htc product but once they released that statement im like are u serious this sis ur answer not even a "u can buy 4 more apps for 20 bucks" like steve jobbs is doing i mean i wouldve at least appreciated that but i think i might go to the tytn or the iphone they deliver on wat is promised
My next phone will probably going to be an iPhone once they release a 3G version of it. I miss my 8525

I-mate is switiching manufactoring back to HTC, in essence it is just an HTC with I-mate branding. Hopefully they will support their devices with all the adequate software and updates, unlike HTC.

What do you mean "may"? I have absolutely excluded it. After all this mockery and arrogance from HTC, I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I EVER went and bought another one of their devices, at ANY point in the future.

Why i'm switching to the Iphone.

The HTC Touch Diamond is a piece of **** for what you pay for.
I paid almost 800$ for a great phone that I expected a lot out of, what did I get? A phone that worked for 20 days and then ****ed up. The entire phone just does not connect when it is not plugged into the wall outlet, and I've used another battery and it still does the same thing, it's a piece of ****.
For the past month I've been trying to get the damn thing to work, I've treated it like a diamond because I've paid as much as I would.
It was awesome for the first 20 days, but now it's useless unless connected to an adapter. Amazing. Mobilecityonline the guys i bought it from are willing to repair it on warranty but it will take 4-6weeks, THATS MORE THAN A MONTH.
I'm ending with my illusion of WM powered phones, goin to the iphone which has basically the same features, not all the looks but god damnit, the tech support is great, and the phone does not lag, and you don't need to cook roms to get the damn thing to work faster.
This is my rant, and anyone else in California who has a working HTC Touch Diamond, good luck keeping it running.
So it was awesome until it broke? Why not just get it repaired then?
Hardware fails from time to time, do you think the iphone is bullet proof? You say you've been trying to get it working for the last month, well if you'd just had it repaired under warranty you'd probably have it back by now.
No, 6 weeks is more than a month. That's far too long for a phone to be in repair. The company was ****ty, that's a given, but the phone ****ed up.
My sister has an iphone and has had it since it came out. The thing with apple is, you can walk into an apple store down the street and walk out with a brand new phone. Repairs take 1 day.
HTC America was really nice and offered the European hotline, but they agreed that if I sent it out to them it would take more than a month, 2-3 apparently. And they cannot send me a new phone but would have to repair this one.
I thought this phone was bullet proof, people f'ing compared it to the iphone. It's an amazing phone, but not worth 700$.
And to get even the basic tools from diamond you need to jailbreak the iphone or use the 2.0 appstore(not the good solution)
haha nice one mouseymousey made me chuckle!
good luck with your iphone mate, you'll soon come running back! 'basic'illy has the same features just about sums it up! and make sure you have a good belt to hold your trousers up! ahem.. BRICK lol
like mousey says, hardware can break down, lifes not perfect mate!
if your fridge breaks down are you going to switch to only eating tinned food?
How so? What basic tools does the diamond have that the iphone does not? What are we missing here? Jailbreaking is meaningless anymore because i'm already on the network with the iphone. You still have to pay for WM applications, it's not like the appstore is killing you.
Sorry double posted on accident. Anyways. I'm sorry, everyone on this board has been great, but no one anywhere on the internet could help me solve this problem, and HTCs best support told me to "hard reset" amazing.
I've just realized that WM is too much trouble, and HTC products are and will always be far too expensive for what you get. If the unlocked iphone cost about 700$ with 4/gigs of internal storage people would be ****ing pissed. But nothing about HTC but rather its a supposed competitor. Failed to impress.
Also, hardware does not break down in a matter of days of you getting it, that's ridiculous, that's showing the quality build of the product being really ****ty. Honestly, If i got a fridge from sears, that broke down in a weeks time I would not get the same brand again. The problem is that every product that you get has to work for atleast a couple of months and you have to do something to do it for it to breakdown. For god's sake, I haven't bought a single product that I couldn't fix, this is literally a hardware failure, that wasn't warranted, I didn't even touch the phone the wrong way, I swear to you I have had it in a case as thick as my wallet. It's ridiculous. If you call it a random breakdown that happens every now and then, **** that. 700$ is a lot for me. And a months time for repairs isn't gravy.
bye bye then
ta tar then!
car navigation, copy - paste, does not even exist... good pushmail etc. exchange stuff... remote desktop, video recording, crappy speeds compared to htc on connections, even with the new 3g... just to name few...
i love the use of iphone, theres no comparison to that, but featurewise its no match for diamond
iphone can melt...
Do you even know that the back cover from the Iphone can be so hot...even the backside can melt...it's posted on a dutch website which found an article from an american user....
If you don't believe me, here's the link to the dutch website:

http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=5943855&postcount=288
So you'd better think twice before you buy the Iphone...
greetzz Jeroen
oh yes, the '3g' phone that CANT make video calls?? errr, whats the point!!!? haha
iphone sucks big time!
There are so many good reasons to switch to the iPhone (useability, following the masses, trying to look cool, for example), but "because my phone broke" is not one of them when you consider that iPhone users have just been complaining about that very issue - and I'm not speaking about activation problems...
Anyway, have fun. Good luck with the battery.
I'll stick with the Diamond. Its features simply blow the iPhone out of the water. Most importantly for me is that I can easily write my own apps for it.
Car navigation does exist the new 3g has built in GPS. Copy and paste is released with the new 2.1 firmware, mobileme is up and running, HTC's wifi blows donkey, 3g is fast as hell on the iphone.
And again folks its not about features, its about BUILD QUALITY.

I can't help noticing that if the same thing happened to your iphone you would be probably writing similar post. Honestly WM6 is for professional and semi-professional users, perhaps closer to blackberry so if you were looking for an iphone like alternative it was a mistake. I am under no peer pressure in terms of "coolness"- the HTC SD must perform efficiently the business tasks that I throw at it and honestly there is currently no better alternative for my needs.

Give Props to klown_41143

Hi everyone...
Just when I think no one helps eachother anymore, I am given new faith in humanity... let me explain..
I have been "**** on" many times in my life... little faith in people anymore... I mean, we live in a world where you can actually have CRAP physically mailed to someone annonymously (www.poopsenders.com a real site)... So I am very cautious of people, and I guess live a sort of cynical life...
Recently my family and I upgraded out previous generation phoens to Touch Pro variants (mostly Fuze's).. we sll got out phones preowned.. and most in less thant desirable shape.. one battery onyl held a charge for 12 hours max (instead of 2.5 days like out other ones on the same rom)... scratches... mis-matches stylus, etc...
Then klown_41143 posted that he recently upgraded his phone, and would offer his old accessories for free to anyone who wanted them... I was skeptical at first.. I mean, why woudl this guy jsut give this stuff for free (2 OEM batteries, 2 styluses, a battery cover and a a300 adaptor.... I thought it was a joke, or he would want something in return... So I follow the directions in the post... and I get a responce from klown_41143 .. He would be happy to send it all to me, free of charge.. I am still thinking it is some sort or scam, but I thank him...
Then this monday he sends me a tracking number.. I am suprised... I check it out.. looks legit.. I wait.. .and this morning I got the package... exactly as described.. I was shocked... Here is this guy I never met... don't even recall if I ever posted a reply to one fo his psots before or vice versa... Not only does he send me stuff he could sell on here to make a few $$$, he pays extra to send it priority mail so I get it quickly, and even get a tracking number for me... I am judt realyl grateful... I know, some used items that he has little to no use for, "big deal".. but it was more than that for me...
So basically, even though this guy is a Jr. member here, if you see a post or something, please as a favor for me, go out of your way to help this guy... I would personalyl apprecitate it.... thanks for reading all my babble...

My step son accidently dropped his old 2nd generation iPod, it landed on the headphone jack and dislodged the jack. Of course no jack , no sound. This kid lives for his music, plays the guitar, loves garage band and thru working and saving for iTunes and downloading every CD I had , his Mother had and friends , had a iTunes library of over 3000 songs.
We all had a very tough financial year last year and didn't have lot of money , certainly not enough to buy the kids what they really wanted for Christmas. I felt so bad for my step son, that for Christmas, I wrapped my iPod Touch that I had gotten 2 years earlier when times were a lot better for us. He opened it for Christmas and was thrilled and so thankful even though it was 2 yrs old and all he got.
Last month he was at a party at his " friend's " house with other " friends ". Put his iPod down for a split second on a table while he talked to someone, turned around and it was gone. No one admitted taking it , it was just gone. He was just devastated, his prized possession.
My 8 year old in all his kindness gave him his shuffle until we can get him another music player.

But I did tell that what he did was immoral and that he should have tried to return it. I also told him that I disapproved.
But as for the original poster, I was going to say that I couldn't believe klown did that for a stranger, and I felt something fishy was going on... I mean he should make the receiver pay for shipping atleast right?.
Can klown please step up and talk? Is he rich or something?

There're still good and sharefull people living around us eventhough the capitalist education and social mind is injecting selfishness to all. I am not really surprised to see that klown_41143 gave them for free. Stuff doesn't mean a few $$$bucks for everyone
Wow... im kinda touched. First lemme say I do not wanna drag up OLD posts, but I wasn't aware this was here. Lol
For the record, I am by no means rich, wealthy or loaded. Lmao. Extra parts were just that, extra. And for the small lot of stuff it would have cost more to ship than it was worth. Free stuff to good ppl, yhats how I was raised and try to do my best to stick with that tradition. As far as the priority shipping, everyone hates waiting on anything. Free or other wise. I am very glad that the stuff went to good use to a good family. Keep ur eyez peeled for other "free stuff" posts by me, im all the time giving something away
Lol.

This is sakai4eva, and I approve of this message.
Well played that man. The old philosophical debate is whether there are truly any altruistic deeds, but it's a step in the right direction at least. I always give away stuff i don't use, either to friends or charity shops. I've donated my entire book collection, designer clothes i've never worn, leftover PC hardware from upgrades etc. Right now i'm sitting on a Creative x-fi, OCZ Vertex and Nvidia 8800 GTX Ultra and an old copy of Win Vista. If i do the Sandybridge upgrade i've been considering i've basically got a spare 'puter. Decisions, decisions.
Anyway, it's nice to be nice!

My friend has an apple shoved up his arse!

I love my friend to death I really do, but to get him to think outside the box is impossible! I have a Droid X which I have mixed emotions on and was trying to have a conversation with him on the next phone to get. Knowing what was about ready to come out of his mouth I kept an open mind as I like Iphones, but I also like to keep my options open.
I was trying to tell him if the next Iphone that comes out doesn't have features that the newer phones are coming out with then Apple is going to seriously be behind the times. His answer to this? "Doesn't matter if the Iphone 5 has less features than the 4 because it will sell." I'm sorry, last time I checked I wasn't asking about a phone's sells I was asking about a phone that was packed with features. Then he starts to ramble about battery life and what isn't needed in a phone for a year or two down the line blah blah blah.
So thanks to him, I am probably not going to get a new phone EVER. Instead of talking me into a new Iphone, he has convinced me that all phones are complete and utterly useless.
I've learned to never ask an iPhone person for phone advice.
Next time he rambles, just let him go off and when he finishes, say, "Did you say something? I was too busy watching Transformers on my luxurious 4.3" screen to notice."
Lol. That reminds me of this video:

When I got sick of my 3gs I got an HTC Evo and tried to get my friend into android but it was impossible. Now over a year later he finally wants a Galaxy S 2!
I know people with iPhone's ... we don't really talk about phones much. We do our own thing and, when going out, focus on the drinking.
It is what it is.

I came from an iPhone myself. I was an open minded iPhone user though. One day I decided to buy an Inspire and now I'll never go back. maybe he just needs to try one out?
iPhones are meh, but the iSack Grope looks decent as a media player.
That movie is hilarious!!
iPhone users will not accept that their behind the curve. No matter what though it will sell.
