Another Nokia Facebook post, wtf is going to happen Monday? lol
Nokia garage sale in Honolulu.
Duh.
I got it, playlist music pandora-esque app, based on GPS location, that or all 900 owners get a free trip to Hawaii to attend a party with, yup, dubstep music.
Also, spent a bit of time here and found a few apps I didn't know about: http://appawards.wp7applist.com/

Lol. Kinda sucks, I just started caring.
You ever have a feeling that everything is gonna suck one day.
Edit.
That explains the Roland TR-808. Yup looks like a new 808 phone.

The expectations. I set them way too high.

You know, people here always mock me because I seem so pessimistic, but I fucking told you so.

Lol, I'll be fine. We still have that apollo event on Wednesday. *sets expectation levels to unreasonable again*

Yeah, about Wednesday...
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
You're secretly hoping apollo sucks cause you're in love with that transparent stripe on the surprisingly affordable dual core gingerbread handset, aren't you? AREN'T YOU??11??
You've probably already got the next Android OT worked out with Copernicus and Good Job Matias, don't you?
Joe Belfiore will make you regret your treason on Wednesday.
just make sure when you do the Android OT phone gif, you account for the lag. Maybe have the app crash a few times just to keep things real

ipv6 with new per device charge?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
We could always pretend to be excited about features that were introduced a week earlier at a separate conference, but why?
Practice?
Lots of sadness in you I detect. Only insecure Android gaf seems to care about competing platforms. Looks like the plague has affected you from hanging out there now.
In what regard? Masses of gifs can sometimes cause my Lumia 800 to slow down a bit, but otherwise it's fine.
Also, daaaaaaaaamn at some of the chicks in that thread.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I was on Att at the time which means I had iPhone access, but I sort of got swept up by the metro design. I almost got an iPhone a year or two before as my birthday/xmas present since they are in the same month, but I couldn't feel right cause it was when the iPhone was still $400.
At the time too iOS was strictly an Att thing phone wise so Verizon was all on Android. That meant if you were on one carrier and wanted the other you had to switch. The only choice came right before WP was going to launch with Att getting the OG Galaxy S as Samsung was putting a version out on all 4 carriers.
It was the 1st Android offering which was intriguing, but thr Att version of the OG galaxy was screwed for a long time. Lots of small is bugs, and reboot issues. Plus there was a known issue with the GPS being broken. Samsung promised a fix, but it never seem to come.
Then I saw the Samsung Focus which was the Galaxy remix with WP on it. Same basic phone design chasis and hardware, but just fit to WP specs. Since I liked metro, and had taken a liking to the Zune software out of the blue when someone on IGN posted about the 3.0 redux I thought I'd maybe give it a go.
Then I got hyped about the launch, but I didn't preorder or anything cause I was on my family plan. Then like the next day or two after launch I had dinner next to the Att store and mentioned it cause I saw a sign for it. Brought it up on the way home, and mom said you sure you want it? She said she'd go back and get me the phone as a month early Birthday/Xmas present since I needed her to change my info on the family plan anyways.
If they had better Android offerings at the time or I wasn't bored of seeing my family who didn't have work blackberries get their first smartphones/iPhones I might have chosen differently. I could easily see myself going into Att now if I was smartphone less and more clueless like I was back then and getting the One X if this selection of phones was out then. I'm happy with my choice though. I'm just finally ready for a new phone more and more as each month passes this year.
I was a previous Zune Pass subscriber, having access to the library on the go was the clincher. I had to give up my iPhone, scary stuff. Ended up being a pleasant surprise, started to enjoy the day to day ease of using my phone, liked how certain tasks were easier than my iPhone, mainly notifications and social network use.
Does anyone know off the top of their heads if the AT&T unlimited medianet data plan (circa 2004) that I have grandfathered in on my line would transfer over to the OG Samsung Focus? What about the 4g Samsung Flash or the new Nokia Lumia?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask....
AT&T sales rep in chat said yes, I would get unlimited data on any phone I choose as long as I keep paying for it. It seems too good to be true.

Yea. That must be why that other mobile OS OT calls out the competitor in the title. They don't care about the competition... Riiight.
IOS 6? I don't even know what that title implies but google maps was integrated and is no longer. That's a big deal for better or worse.
And sure there are insecure people for other parts here. Im saying to not go down that route.

Huge disappointment, that's what is happening.
Major disappointment you mean.
As long as its huge. I say we go big or go home.
You won't need 41 mega pixels to my tears come Monday.

who says it can't be both.
lol, I made that thread. The title is a reference to a meme and about Google Maps being taken out of iOS.
I own an iPhone, but I also own a Windows Phone as well!
