Anyone here have an iphone

[Quiet Reflections]

is there any truth that they are easy to hack into?

I have an Ipod touch, which I love, but will love even more in February, when they open it up to other programs.

Jailbreak that shit!

You can already "unlock it" and put apps on it.

Im using mine with TMobile. I pay $6/mo for the unlimited Internet hack.

As long as you have some basic computer skills and can resist playing iwth the stuff you're not supposed to, then yea, its easy to hack. Same thing as uploading a photo here.

My mother has the dash from HTC, but this is killing it. Its owrth it. I dont think you neccessarily have to wait for the next version. Some things suck like not being able to send MMS right out of the box, but some of the shit is the truth. Lke how the text automatically corrects for you when you type and learns the words. I can t put it down, LOL

Maybe when the CDMA version comes out (ie Verizon Wireless). Around here, everyone says "its a cool phone, but the network sucks so everything is slow"

I don't have a cell phone. I might get a pre-paid one for emergencies. I just use Skype when I need to make a call and I have WiFi. People pay so much for cell phones in general, even getting their kids ones (or godsons ). My parents finally got cell phones, but they're pay-as-you-go ones and the bill is always <$10/month, usually more like $5, they said. Skype needs a decent connection though so sometimes instant messaging is easier.

So my portable device of choice is a Nokia N800, which I got after the prices were slashed with the release of the N810. You can now get one for around two bills. Tons of programs (no "jailbreak" hacking necessary ~ they actually want people to make programs for it, imagine that!), better browsing than the iPhone (with a real Firefox-based browser!) and you can sync it to your cellphone if you have an internet plan on your phone and no WiFi connection. When you are stuck in traffic and really have to post on HA (seriously, though, get off your fucking cell phones and drive!)

The N810 is a decent upgrade, same RAM and CPU but has a slide-out keyboard and is a tad smaller, a sunlight-readable screen and built-in GPS. But now you can find the N800 for half the price of the new N810 and that's the clincher.

I would like to get a laptop. My ideal size is 10". The 13.3" macbooks are a tad big and a 14" PC notebook is significantly too big. The Asus Eee PC is about right but it's a 7" screen inside a 9" frame. The new 9" ones will be coming out this year (as announced at CES), it was a cost issue before, I think, because they're selling this sucker for $300-400!

I don't know why people buy these giant 17", even 19" (!), laptops. You know you have to move that thing too.

A lot of people who play games want the bigger screen, i dont know, im not much of a gamer.

But for doing graphics, a bigger display is needed. When I do graphics, i might need to have 3 or 4 images open at one time and you cant really do that on a small screen.
