laptop is dead... long live the droid

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

laptop is dead... long live the droid

Post by Optimus Prime Rib » Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:03 pm

So my nephew decided to dump a glass of water on my laptop. Normally this would infuriate me, but honestly its become par for the course. However, this allowed me to finally upgrade my phone with no argument or complaint from jessy so now im all high tech and ****. Grats to me i think.

I'm sorry to hear about your continued nephew-related problems. Still, NEW PHONE!

That damn nephew. Droid, though. I guess that's pretty cool.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Had a free upgrade to a smartphone and got one of the Droids. That night at 1:52am all the text messages I had sent the past month were sent out to everyone in my contact list. The next day, I returned the phone and got my old phone back.

I mean, if a Droid can't even reliably perform the basic functions of a, well, phone, why have one?

You should get an iPhone too, then you could fight 'em.

I think you should judge all Droid phones based on this one bad unit. Even the ones made by entirely different manufacturers. Competing phones systems such as blackberry, windows, and Iphone have never had problems. Not in a single unit.

A device the size of your palm that allows you to communicate to anyone in the world, take pictures, surf the web, etc etc is unlikely to ever have a problem ever. This is disgraceful.
