  • Gee One to Nexus One posted

    So, my buddy Harper is hooked up with all sorts of the right people. Sometimes it makes me a bit jealous, but a lot of the time I get to benefit from his hookups as well. This is a story of another one of those times. Last spring, Harper got hooked up with some G1 dev phones - you know, the very first Android phone. He basically had so many that he didn't know what to do with, so he hooked me up with one... read more

  • A week with Android and the G1 posted - 4 comments

    So, just to bring you up to speed - Harper (and Google) hooked me up with a developer version of the "Google Phone" or G1. As a developer phone it's sort of "unlocked" or rooted and comes with a fancy case. In short, it's awesome - but definitely, definitely a geek phone. I imagine the actual unrooted version you get from t-mobile is a bit easier to work with, but I still think it's more of a geek phone than a mainstream device like the iPhone. However, I can totally see this OS growing - especially with some better hardware in the future... read more

  • From a Sidekick 3 to a Blackberry Curve posted - 6 comments

    I've been an avid sidekick supporter since I got my Sidekick 2 back on 04. I upgraded to a Sidekick 3 in 06, and I bought my wife a sidekick slide earlier this year... but now, I'm switching. Why? The Sidekick is just moving way, way too slow... read more

  • How to Sync Google Calendar, Outlook, and a Sidekick II posted - 1 comment

    I don't know if this is the best way, but it's the first way I've figured out to sync all of my calendars, so here it is... I used to just put all of my appointments into Outlook at work, then use IntelliSync to sync it to my phone's Calendar. But then I realized that wifey and I had a really hard time keeping track of each other's schedules. I can't easily share my Outlook calendar with her... and I don't look at the paper calendar inside the closet door to find out what she's up to... read more

  • Sidekick 3'd!!! posted - 10 comments

    Supposedly the Sidekick 3 comes out July 10 and I just got mine - 4 days early, suckers. And what a great time to get a new phone - when I'm home sick. So needless to say, I've been playing with it a lot in bed, hehehehe. I really really like the SK3. The interface (both physical and soft) is much nicer... read more

  • Sidekick II'd! posted - 8 comments

    So, finally I got my Sidekick II. Since I haven't told the story on my site, here it is, once more. omg. I ordered my sidekick on November 30 - which was supposedly the last day of the $250 in rebates sale at Amazon. I was super stoked, I even paid for 2-3 day shipping so I could get it faster... read more

  • Cellphone plan 586 posted - 3 comments

    Ok, cell phone decisions are some of the hardest and most stressful decisions that i have to make. I really want to be able to be able to have the best possible communication options that I can get. First I was going to get that Danger Sidekick, which is still dope, but there are things about it that i don't like. New Plan: 2 devices, bluetooth, and wifi 1. Upgrade my Clie to the UX50, which has wifi and bluetooth 2... read more

  • T-Mobile Sidekick posted - 5 comments

    Harper always does this to me and I hate it. Step 1: Harper keeps up on new technology big time (which is one advantage to having him as a friend Step 2: Harper buys the new technology Step 3: Harper shows it off to me Step 4: I get jealous Step 5: I read about the technology Step 6: I learn that Harper is right and I want whatever it is that he bought Step 7: I usually buy the product This is cycle really stupid and usually expensive for me... but anyway, Harper was IMing me from someone's car today via his Sidekick, which is step 3 from the cycle mentioned above. So I've already gotten over the Jealousy and read about the sidekick at danger.com. It's got a full qwerty keyboard, AIM, unlimited email via the built in IMAP/Pop client, SSH, and it is not much bigger than my i95cl... read more

  • Top 5 Wallpapers posted - 12 comments

    Let's assume that you have a top of the line, color screen cell phone that can hold 5 wallpapers. What would your top 5 wallpapers be? Try not to put broad answers. A bad example might be: cars, buildings, scenery, animals, and people. A good example might be something like: Estella Warren, an Acura Intrgra, a cocker spaniel, Skateboard Logos, and the British Flag... read more
