jesus

is someone somewhere mass producing know-nothing idiots?

blackberry storm will be locked to verizon and telus in the uk and canada respectively. and the phone doesnt even have wifi or triband hsdpa.

the g1 android based phone is exclusively locked to tmobile

htc diamond will be locked to sprint

so many others and this has been going on before the iphone, but i guess since its apple, it must be evil./

meanwhile the lacks on the iphone outdo the features on tons of others out there and so far none seems imminent on unseating the iphone from its perch. despite the endless clones and wannabes.


yah it sucks not having bluetooth ftp, or mms etc. but the ease of use and interface far outweighs those lacks.

and dude, its not steve jobs selling these things; lots of people dont watch macworld or wwdc to see jobs pitching his wares. some cant even tell steve jobs from steve perry.

these things sell themselves.

but like they say, if you want to know more,

GET A MAC.

Audacity.

its free, search in sourceforge.net

Raymond88:
Dr Evil is the ultimate bad guy.

huh?


Doc Evil is just a parody of all the evil men of movie history.

i think humor doesnt count in evilness.

deluv:

jesus.

your beef ought to be with your english teacher.

The X Files

man! thanks alot

Dark City

to be honest though, Palpatine is responsible for erecting the Galactic Empire from the ruins of the Galactic republic, but he couldnt have done it without Vader. the trademark nazi style helmet and that infamous breathing have etched themselves in movie history as iconic as the lightsabers.

and the line, "luke, im your father!".

"Noooo"

memorable, butt of many jokes and spinoffs.

another nasty Villain: john Doe (kevin spacey) in Seven.

hehe. funny emoticons, Elf.

the next strip is especially meaningful to me because it captures precisely the kind of desperate act i almost engaged in when Daikatana hit our then precious N64 in mid 2000. im sure some of you out there remember this, the worst game to have ever been coded, and sadly it partly was the responsibility of a man i once held in high esteem, JOHN ROMERO!

Penny Arcade, one of my faves because it pokes fun at gaming and computer pop culture (eg see Windows' infamous Blue Screen of Death below), isnt always tidy on cuss words. however given we are all adults here i dont expect objections. if there are any then i'll take the PA strips down and never post then again.

Darth Vader

for crushing half a galaxy and raising an evil empire from the remains

and that signature heavy breathing: "koh, koh"

classic

then theres kaiser soze.

and T1000 in Terminator 2

it depends on the kind of features you want in a phone. though ive never owned a G1 yet i recently was on the train sitting next to someone who has and after watching him fiddle with it for a while i kind of borrowed it to have a feel. its got all the features you expect but sadly the whole thing to me feels unfinished. the interface feels sluggish in some places and the scrolling isnt as smooth as the iphone's.

great browser though, nice integration with google services, but not much else. the music player particular sucks.

on the other hand ive owned a couple of iphones including the 3G version and though there isnt much difference between the two iphones, im still kind of hooked to it right now. sure, there are lots of left-out features and lots of the Appstore apps are rubbish, but you cant really fault the iphone on pure pleasure of usage and the awesome inbuilt ipod app.

the games are astounding, wireless connectivity is superb (though ive found using the 3G connectivity in naija is unrealible), the interface is very responsive, email (pop and imap) is almost as good as on the Blackberry and sms texting is just plain sweet.

i must confess im a little biased towards apple, but i still believe the G1 has lots of potential down the road since its OS is open source and free. the actual deal killer is that the OS doesnt feel as powerful or as slick as the iphone OS, and multimedia experience is so-so.

ive used many phones down the road, some superb others plain rubbish (tons of windows mobile and windows smartphone from XDA to ipaq and Sagem S7 to blackjack to moto q, LG Prada, samsung f480, various N and E series devices, blackberry curve, Nokia Vertu, miscellaneous Nokia XpressMusic devices, SE p1 and W960i etc)

some of thse devices have very outstanding designs but atrocious guts when you go beneath the surface (beauty isnt skin deep). i did some reviews in my blog at bravenet on some of the devices ive used but frankly despite the shortcomings of the iphone im yet to come across a device that comes marginally close to beating the iphone on ease of use, media management, wireless connectivity, gaming, internet surfing, and sms.

sure, its almost always beaten hands down on features, but those features on other phones (including the G1) dont feel as great to use and as responsive as the few ones on the iphone.

i once argued that the G1 will beat the iphone even without multitouch especially seeing as how google is good with service integration and sometimes great interface (Picasa 3, eg) but im not remotely won over to the G1.

maybe the Blackberry Storm will be a worthy competitor (even though its come to light that iphone has stolen the balckberry market share to be the No 2 smartphone after nokia's symbian devices).

maybe you ought wait for the storm to hit!
