spc · July 31, 2007, 10:17:57 AM

yeah, this thing is cool as hell.......of course it pales in comparison to my mom's iPhone that thing is just crazy

I just got a new phone too. It can make calls AND text message, but I only use it for calls. It cost me $10

I can watch TV on mine

I don't think of myself as a Luddite, but seriously... why?

I guess I can understand the appeal of having an internet browser in your pocket, but some of that stuff is just ridiculous. I just don't feel the need to spend $100 or so every month for that service

With 1400 anytime minutes and unlimited nights/weekends and unlimited Data my monthly bill will be under 70 after tax

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. This package contains a client which will allow you to connect to other desktops running a VNCserver.

NO need to ViNC for me. RDP to my home server and I have a WAP portal server on my i5 at work so I can manage it from anywhere I get phone signal. No more slave to the laptop

I wasn't that impressed with the iPhone. I have the Cingular 8525 :rockon

spc · July 31, 2007, 03:15:11 PM

The iPhone is awesome!!! But my Blackberry Pearl does anything I need

I'm a Mac fan

Great product, that's why their stock has increased 40% in the last 4 months

But, i will agree it is more toy than function.

its funn till you need it to work or need to open an excel file or word file.

there's a mini-suite coming out soon of modified office programs

still the touch screen is a little aggravating to type on. So it's not a great 'work' tool, but it is killer for playing around
