    wait, so, jailbreaking an iphone:

    -voids the warranty
    -doesn't brick it

    but it is still illegal right

    No.

    it is, however, a giant fucking pain in the ass

    if you have the most current firmware, fuck, good luck, I've tried twice to no avail

    I just got an LG Vu last Wednesday after my LG CU13 broke in half for no apparent reason.

    Has anyone here ever had the misfortune to own a Pantech?

    When my last phone was fucked, a coworker let me use her old Pantech for a week before I went down and got an iPhone.

    That was pretty much the worst week of my life.

    Hey CD you work for T-Mobile right? Have you seen any G1's just randomly start playing music before?

    Mines been doing it on and off for a week or so and its getting really frustrating.

    Do the iPhone people use their data allowance that much?

    in Ireland the price plans are pretty shit, you get like 100 minutes and 100 texts, if I'm using the net on it I can get another 300 free texts a month but I'd be paying like €40 for 100 minutes/100 texts and 1gb of data and no matter how much more I pay it's still only 1gb and just more minutes and texts.

    if I could jailbreak it, that'd be awesome but I'd still have to pay the 18 month contract with the provider.

    This is really late, but

    How the fuck do you manage to link to the shittest quality photo of an iPhone that exists. I mean it's the iPhone, there are literally thousands of pictures of it and you manage to find the one shitty quality of the old fucking hardware?

    Just how retarded are you, son?

    I have this

    sony-ericsson-w810.jpg

    Its so slow compared to other phones I've played with and I'l lucky if it lasts a day. Got it when it came out cause I wanted an all-in-one toy.


    This summer I plan on getting this

    nokia-n97-00.jpg

    Mostly cause it has a keyboard but its also supposed to be a nice internet device. I really want the internet everywhere now.

    The Helio Ocean is a Pantech phone. It's not bad, it's just nothing compared to say, the G1 or the iPhone. The busted speaker on mine is likely the result of me dropping it at some point, but it's lasted me two years with p good performance. Being able to load the web on my phone has saved me more than once. Oh, and it's GPS features have prevented me from getting lost quite a few times.

    This month was actually really slow, for me. Only about 700 texts. Usually comes out to at least 1000.

    Worst part at least 90% are with the same person.

    I pay £35 a month for 600 mins and 500 texts with unlimited data. Does me fine. I never go over my allowances anyway.

    I remember seeing somewhere a while back that someone was able to get an iphone to work on t-mobile. is that still the case?

    we are switching to TM and I need to find a phone that I like. Don't know if I want to go the whole smartphone route. but think being able to get the data plan at a later date is a good plan

    so initially thinking the behold, but the flippy blackberry pearl seems nice

    the G1 is pretty fantastic, and the new Sidekick coming out looks crazy awesome

    the BB pearl flip isn't bad either though

    and yeah, a ton of people use iPhones on T-Mobile, you just have to jump through some hoops to get it unlocked, because Apple and AT&T won't unlock it for you

    if you can somehow get ahold of a 3g iphone without a contract, you can probably jailbreak it and use it on t-moblie

    other than that, the g2/magic/whatever is going to be an android phone from htc that might be out soon, basically a sleeker version of the g1, but lacking a physical keyboard

    I like the idea of the G1, but honestly at this point I am not sure if the data plan is something I will really need. I am not a high volume phone user, but I am starting a new job soon where i will likely need to be more accessable and will be away from my computer so having the option for data management etc might be nice.

    the fact that you need to have the data line for the G1 is kind of a negative right now.

    The Samsung behold seems nice since it seems mainly a phone/texter/music player but if you add the data plan it woul dbe more of a smart phone

    same kind of deal with the BB pearl flip, except its a flip not a touch, but it has wifi

    any smartphone (BB, Windows Mobile, Sidekick, G1) requires a data plan, at least to get the mail-in rebate when you first buy the phone

    yeah, if you don't think you'll use the data plan so much, the Behold is pretty nice and has pretty good capabilties for a "dumbphone"
