Robbed, need new phone

[thestalkmore]

I think you missed the point which is, he wasn't robbed he had his phone stolen by someone. The odds of one of the 2% population who are African-American in SLO holding him at gunpoint and taking his phone are laughable, especially considering where in SLO he lives.

I go to school at Berkeley, which just so happens to be a hop, skip, and jump away from Oakland (read: up against). You know what they say about assumptions.

Demo: On campus

damn that's shit, never experienced anything bad on campus personally. Then again I assume this is at night and my gf lives off campus so I've never really been there late. Really freaky shit at night on the buses though.

Get a new phone then get one of these, next time just blow them away.

You're a gigantic douchebag. It's pretty clear the point isn't talking about getting robbed, it's about a new phone, hence statement of fact without the details (including details about the robber's race in the OP).

But dude, he needs to man up, dude. Real men don't get their stuff stolen, they get bawler (whatever the hell that means). And I'm absolutely sure they go to college in SLO for no apparent reason, too!

Check out the new Verizon blackberry it seems pretty fucking boss, TSM.

It's baller btw. (Sick with a cold at home. )

Sorry to hear you got mugged that sucks.

I've got a Curve through Verizon now, I think it is a fairly good phone. I pay 30 dollars a month for the unlimited data plan + voice and text.

The only way you can get GPS to work on it is paying 10 dollars a month for the service and their software. But like someone else said you can use Google Maps and it will give you a rough idea of where you are to give directions.

I think the Curve or perhaps the Pearl are going to be the cheapest options at this point. I'm sure the new Storm will be several hundred dollars with a contract, and without I would guess 400 or more.

I have an env2 and its amazing for text + voice calls, + you can get on aim/yahoo without a data plan, counts as a txt msg

Springfield XD

He lives in /k/ommiefornia, no way he's getting a CHL .

I'm there most weekends with gf (thursday night to monday morning) and will prolly be going to summer school there this summer. I'd fully transfer now but I think I'm going to study abroad next year so no real point in doing that. If you go do the cal games I'm always "sitting" in the student section ;p

I'm at every one :O!

[Demosthenes11]

damn lol. I work the filipino hotdog booth with my gf before the game to get in free (won't be working the Oregon one though). You should get there early sometime and stop by - I'm the only white guy in there >.>;. Typically get off 15 minutes before kickoff

Because clearly someone is going to break into your house and rob you at gunpoint for just $40 and a cellphone...


Tyche: Triangulation won't give you accurate street position, and won't give progressive turn-by-turn; has to have a real GPS radio in it. idk if the curve does or not, but if it does then it should work, ya.

Does the opera browser show pages in native mode or does it fuck up tables and stuff so it all fits on the screen without sidescrolling/zooming? Looking for a smartphone myself (Sprint though, else I'd get an iPhone ), HTC Touch Diamond looks like a decent choice...I want something that can view the internet properly and not fuck the page up, most others I've looked at don't meet that requirement. Only thing that's stopping me is that they don't have them demoable in stores yet around here.


OP: Do a little research on suggestions but make sure you actually play with whatever phone you're looking into before you buy...I've seen reviews that are ridiculously exaggerated as far as some of the downsides to some of these phones are concerned. Supernerds are picky D:


Unrelated: What the hell is this? ->

[Nuketwig]

Peach of mind.

[Tyche]

The curve I had did have GPS, but not all models of the Curve do. That's why I brought it up. I don't know how accurate triangulation is, mine had GPS, but I know google maps can use triangulation. Opera browser can do either native or "mobile" view. I prefer the mobile view as I only have to scroll up and down and not side to side. Pictures are shown full size though. If there are pictures and text together (as most pages are, the words will still conform to your screen size and the pictures will be native. It's really quite awesome how it works.

Remind me to come say hi Demo at the Arizona game
