Craptastic. Now I have to be nice to Jimbo so's I can maybe find out the SECRET.

C. None of the above J.

Anyone would get the same consideration. This is really embarrassing me. all this hoopla.


What I mean fooot is that anyone that gave a crap could just ask ME. It isn't a game OR a secret.

I feel like I am missing something. I am doing some great faux paux by not posting all of my personal information outright like everyone else?

Maybe I am just retarded.

when you share inconsequential details about your self you become more real to the people that read this. you don't have to be specific....but the reality of your day to day lives is interesting to the freaks that read this site. I feel like i know a little more about you, so maybe i'll be nicer to you....nah....i'm gonna be me....but who knows? I like knowing your real name, and those *pictures of you in the hula skirt were pretty spicy.....I don't know that you should share that much on the board, though.

My old Nokia finally died last year. Almost usable, too quiet to hear what anyone said, and the battery needed replacing. Was a little gutted, because I'd kept that phone for several years. I liked it. It was like a small housebrick...comfortably weighted. It was one of the very early ventures into colour screens, and had a ridiculously pixilated pic of pilau as its wallpaper (sent in a text, the phone itself had no camera).

So, a friend gave me their old phone (might have been a sony erikson) which I had for almost a year. Lost that a couple of months ago. At first I was like someone who'd lost a vital organ. Felt so strange not being contactable. My guilty secret is that I liked it and prevaricated on setting up a new one for almost 3 months. Another friend gave me her old Razr phone. I waited almost 4 weeks before putting in a sim and phoning my provider to get my old phone number back.

If I had loads of money, I'd be interested in the new, more computer-like phones. I don't though, so I'll stick to whatever handme downs I inherit or gifts I receive for now. I'm happy to wait anyway...until they really are fully integrated and mobile little communication hubs.

I do occasionally covet the iphone some people have.

yer funny jim.

I'll send you (ALL)some pictures of work sometime when I get that right camera phone. I think I could trust you with my real name even.


DanaC- I went through CNETS reviews of phones. There is alot out there to be envious of. So you like the razr??

anyway, to get back to what I was saying. In order to communicate we have to walk down the halls to find one another. We are not near the area phones and we don't appreciate having to run to catch the phone ringing either.

I really really want a new phone but how much phone?

I would like to know what cell people use and what they like about them.

I am not sure whether to stay with cricket and get a razr or switch and get a curve or dare or a bb pearl.

You're lucky, she gave me an email address that never worked... not even once.

I just changed it. I'll put it in my profile too.


geez I didn't think people actually looked at those.
I keep waiting for the biz miss one to close. It is full of junk mail from trying to do online work at one time.


edit- I'd had one problem with yahoo when I emailed Canada so let me know if there are any problems
. It might just be on his end.

Best. Toy. EVA!

The apps are da bomb. I'm still trying them out--some are duds, some are cool!

I'm not a big game person, but I've loaded Tap Tap Revenge, which I can't figure out how to play, Spore, Scrabble, and Enigma. Enigma is really cool!

I took mine traveling and the maps, gps, Where, Urban Spoon, are all superb!

One of my fave apps is the White Noise maker. I MUST have white noise at night, and having that saves me from lugging along an entire fan or my stand-alone white noise maker when I travel--fantastic!

I also like the shopping list, the recipe finders, the weather, and the entire works of Shakespeare on there!

I also LUV the koi pond. I show people that, and they're impressed-- then I show them the Ocarina, and their eyes just get wide with disbelief! They're like . . . wtf . . . ???

I found myself touching the tv the other day, wanting the menu to come on!


There are so many things you can do with it, and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. I'm in awe, and I'll say this: we can never go back. This is the way it's gonna be from now on--one little device that's everything.

Oh! Oh! I forgot to add my new favorite app:

IT'S A LIGHTSABER!
