I don't remember the exact model but my first smartphone was a Samsung, it was a windows mobile phone with an optical mouse sensor and a crappy touch screen. I thought it was pretty awesome I could remote control my pc from it.

I'll tell you about a flashback: finding my uncle's old portable phone. Not mobile, portable, as in a huge leather case that contained an analog device that would still allow you to receive calls sent to your home number. That's some craziness for how far tech has come.

LOL. A flash back to five years ago? How about a flashback to when your cell phone no longer had to be hard wired to your car's electrical system!!!

Lol yah tech is just advancing so fast.

I have some mobile magazines from 2001/03. I laugh every single time i read them. There are some exciting news about the new thing called "bluetooth" and "WAP". The Nokia 5110 is wildly popular and there's a discussion about the future of mobile gaming. It's hilarious!

Boot time was 5 min and it froze every min.
Glad that I have a Samsung now

I guess this is the right part to post this thread, since it's off-topic... And I tried a search and didn't find anything, so here it is: an E3 2012 thread
It's that time of year again, the Electronic Entertainment Expedition, or E3 for short! The biggest, and best, gaming event of the year. What are you looking forward for? Are you expecting to hear anything about specific software/hardware/accesories? Do you care about E3? Will you be watching any of it?
I, personally, am waiting for the Nintendo conference. More news on the Wii U and hopefully a surprise Metroid game because that would be awesome! I also hope Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 gets a release mention for the Wii, though I guess that's unlikely
So, what about you guys?
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA Premium
I will watch it on G4, the only good thing about still having cable. I would say that BO2 will come out for the WiiU, but only once the WiiU is out. However, I am having a really hard time getting myself interested in CoD anymore. Also I doubt it will have anywhere close to the following of XBox or PS, at least for a few years until everyone has a WiiU. I'm looking forward to more info on BioShock Infinite and Dishonored, which looks like Bethesda's version of a BioShock clone. I would say GTA V but I doubt Rockstar shows up at E3, they will prob announce something a day or 2 before and steal E3's thunder.
I cannot wait to see what Halo 4 is going to turn out like. Also, I wonder if any new consoles will be announced?

Do you think the Sony xperia play is getting old

I'm thinking of upgrading because my friends say my phone is old what do you think.???
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Depends if you actually use the game pad or not. If you do and don't want to have to get a bluetooth gamepad there's not really anything to replace it. If you don't go ahead.
The game pad is the reason why I got the phone in the first place and I love the way it looks but my friend say that it's not got much proseing power as the Samsung galaxy s 3 is that true or are they just trying to get me to upgrade
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
The S3 does have more processing power, do you need it though? If your happy with the XP then keep it, if not trade up.

If that's your biggest problem you really need some priorities. Or some new friends.

I was about to buy a Xperia Play the other day but the seller there told me that it's not good since there are better fast android phone out there. So I just reserved a Samsung S3 instead.
Yes it is dated. They've dropped support for it, there are no games specifically developed for Play anymore, and it barely runs new games. I had one couple months ago, and it's extremely slow!

Hard Rock, Metal, Metalcore bands

I am kind of bored of Memphis May Fire, Of Mice & Men, Woe Is Me, As I Lay Dying, and Sleeping With Sirens. Just started listening to Betraying the Martyrs but they're already getting old. I'm Making this thread for ideas for people like me for new bands, unknown bands that are getting there (Crown the Empire = example)... So go ahead and start posting some new music for all us metalheads out there to enjoy. Or you can just post your favorite band here or bandS and why.... you'd be surprised at the bands that epople dont know of.

My first experience of the Internet was using a Windows 95 PC with a 28K Dial-Up modem. Probably AOL, but i can't remember exactly. Ten minutes for one booby pic. It was horrendous!
I still have some clients that use AOL. And they pay like $25 a month. On top of that, a few of them also have DSL, so they pay for that as well.
