Oh, and by the way:

MG Siegler irrationally loves the iPhone and it has become an important fashion accessory and self confidence crutch in his San Francisco hipster lifestyle. I’m pretty sure Apple could remove the iPhone’s ability to make calls entirely and MG would still find a way to love it.

Where is the proof that iPhones are more of a fashion accessory than android phones? Seeing as how new androids get just as much publicity as new iphones these days.

We fucked up when we allowed phones to advance past this one...

I knew everything about my Incredible before I purchased it. I can't speak for the EVO, but the Incredible does just fine overnight off the charger.

*EDIT* - OK I actually read some reviews. A phone that doesn't last 24 hours is one thing, but a phone that doesnt last through an 8 hour work day??? Fcuk that.

You can just set it up so that when you get to work the screen dims, the GPS goes off and the WIFI shuts down. If you're not sitting there surfing on it at work all day it will last just fine. As mentioned, the battery is upgradable and a spare is simple to carry.

I hear that argument all the time. "All I want my phone to do is make phone calls, blah blah blah." Whatthefuckever, these new breed of phones are fucking amazing. I honestly hardly ever use my laptop anymore. My laptop, which cost me three times as much as my phone, and has far less battery life.

As far as phones being fashion accessories.... Huh? I don't know anything about that, I just know that it is completely amazing how fast and useful these things are.

I agree with you, phones are going to be the future, but not now...how can a smartphone download a movie/tv show then transmit it to a tv/moniter while browsing the internet at the same time as watching the movie/tv show?

Laptops are doing that quite easily right now, and are laptops are full computers. I think eventually they will be able to do this and everyone with the newest iphone4 HTC Droid will think they are old school lol

Computers will always have more ability than handheld devices. But, in regard to your specific example, you can DL a movie to your phone and view it via HDMI cable or by popping the SD card into your xbox.

Um my phone could do it with a faster processor... we're at 1ghz now, give it a couple years and I predict full on laptop processors, dual core or multiple processors. As of right now, I can listen to music with Pandora, navigate, text and browse the web with multiple windows, simultaneously with my Nexus.

I am sure they can do that, but dual screen watch movie from a drive on one screen and browse internet on another is not possible now, AFIK with a smartphone.

We will get to that point, sooner than later, where we will have an all in one device...which the ipad is trying to do, but can you make phone calls out of it? And it is still bigger than any of the smartphones.

Hmmm....I'm going to try it when my gf comes over. Her phone will hook up to my tv using a mini HDMI cable and then I'll see if it's let me browse on the phone while the video plays on the TV... I don't think so but my phone plays music from Pandora out of the jack while I browse the net... That's streaming music while browsing, not the same but close...Hmmmm...

I often turn my normal cell phone off at night. Anybody of importance that needs me in an emergency situation has my home phone. Other than that, fuck the drunk bitches that butt dial me at 4 in the morning....

I am getting an Incredible when they ship again 7/13. How do you like it. Are you experiencing any touch sensativity problems?

I rooted my Droid... and prior to... if I just let the phone be... it'd last about 24hrs... if I fucked around on it... (come on... lots of shit to find on the market) it'd last like 8...

but with it being rooted... I now can over clock or under clock my processor... so when I've got it on standby... I have it set to run at no more than 250mhz... or if the temp gets above 100F... if I'm using it at anything over 50% bat... it's over clocked to 1ghz. at 50% it drops to 600mhz

the processor is a 600mhz... Motorola under clocked it to 550... some nuts have them running at 1.3ghz!


but now with the phone at 250mhz at night... I can go 3 days with out charging if I only use it for calls now and again...
