mobile phone / pda support

[Gentle Jones]

have a sidekick3 which runs on the danger browser, used to be able to view the site with it (though the scripts ran hella slow) now can't even bring up the home page

prolly not a high priority issue but just dropping you this fyi note

[steelcityskin]

if my phone worked i could test it on a treo, have to wait to get my new one which is windows mobile 5.0 so i'm guessing it'll work on here. get rid of that lame ass sidekick man. those things are for kids.
it's not the site that's slow, it's your data network..

[Gentle Jones]

nah have to say the sidekick is the shit, the limitations are way overshadowed by the stability imho

[PapaSkin]

I got a nice blackberry I'll sell ya...I don't have time to use the damn thing. :)

$75 shipped (it's Cingular only). It's the dark Blue 7280.

[SchoolByrd]

the site works just fine on the blackberry 7100i

[Gentle Jones]

i can swing a blackberry for free from work, only thing is you need to synch that badboy regular, cause if it crashes you've just got a paperweight, however the sidekick stores all your info on a server so if you crash then it repopulates all your data (email, addy book, apps, etc) instantly, and if your drop it in the toilet you just get a new one and drop in the sim card and all your info is already there

plus all the rappers and tony hawk have one :cool:

dudes who designed the OS are some ex apple mavericks from what i understand

qwerty keypad, email push client, 2 gigs of storage, games, aim, etc

i even got the periodic table of the elements in case i need to know that holmium has a hexagonal crystal structure

i'm a fan

(excuse my geekery)

i'm not a fan of that online sync shit. feels too big brotherish for me. i got a cingular 8125 coming in right now.

i know folks with that sidekick and for them it's just a toy, i've looked at it, used it, and i came to the conclusion it's hokey as hell.

[Gentle Jones]

the 8125 does look smart

to each their own, i administer my sites from my sk3 no problem and the coverage is great in my area

3 years from now though all these devices will be toys in comparison to whats coming, europe already got way better stuff out

[PapaSkin]

I haven't had the need to be so mobile - When i'm out, I just prefer no one reach me from work. I love the 8125, but until my office pays for it .. I'll wait. :)

[steelcityskin]

yeah they do. i can't wait. only reason i went with the 8125 is it has built in wifi. can't beat that. i think it was the goofy graphics on the sidekick that bugged me. how many have you been thru? i know a girl with one who's had 3 in the past 2 months..

i've only had two, the sk2 and the sk3 never had a problem with either (dropped them many times too)

recently figured out how to hack the themes so i have my own graphics on it

for windows mobile 5 devices, there are lots of tweaks via registry editing. just applied some to my asia version of the TyTn (DOPOD 838PRO) . seems faster now but consumes more memory after the tweaks.

Here are some -

I suggest if you're going to buy a HTC TyTn, the serial no. should start with HT63xxxx something, as the earlier versions (less than HT63xxxx) have some problems with screen alignment. HTC stuffs may be be sold in a different name in the US.
The Cingular 8125 is know as the HTC wizard and sold as Qtek 9100 in europe and dopod 838 in asia. The tytn is the HTC hermes...:biggrin:

Treo 650 does everything I need it to do.

[bouncingbone]

btw, the palm treo is also made by HTC. This Taiwan company rules the pda world right now. :biggrin:

[Gentle Jones]

the front page still doesn't load on the sk3 but the forums work fine (i just realized), posting from it now.

scripts run way quicker than the older board btw
