Code for someone who used to be a really good friend, but ceased to due to his erratic behavior and his obsession over myself.
You've to understand that barc0de's world revolves around never-gonna-happen sex fantasies and defending nintendo from me, the rest of the forum, and that guy who's always at starbucks. Thats all...
LAWL And yes, he developed some sort of eating disorder after I suggested he was a bit overweight--- He's very unstable... after telling me he wanted to see me grow old and get wrinkled, he proceeded to remain at my house for 10 hours straight... And the worse thing is that I couldn't kick him out of my house
Back on topic, looking forward to seeing the Samsung Galaxy S in the flesh, looks like it might be a winner.
I always find it very uncomfortable when I have to type a text message with an Iphone... Touchscreens are great, but the keyboard should still be present I think.
I was watching the gadget show web TV and they said that the new iPhone is still fucking retarded in many ways. The new front camera for video called only works over WiFi and if that wasn't bad enough it will only work to other iPhone 4 handsets. Who the fuck thinks up if these dumb arse ideas? My 2006 Japanese sharp mobile can do video calls over 3G so why can't the more powerful iPhone? Apart from the nicer screen I can't see any reason at all to own this over the 3GS.
Not seen any of the OLED phones? I saw one last weekend (forget which one it was, but one of the newer Android phones) and literally held it an inch from my face and couldn't see the pixels. I want to see the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S side by side, I seriously doubt there would be much between them.
I am due for an upgrade a week after the iPhone 4 comes out, the guy in the phone shop couldn't understand my disinterest in it but seemed desperate to sell one to me. I will go in and ask to see both side by side. While the Galaxy S has a much lower build quality, the same could be said on my HTC Touch HD and it has lasted perfectly fine the last 18 months. "Oooh it has glass on the back!" doesn't really sell me more than the idea of decent battery life, good screen and functionality. Just the fact you can't mount the iPhone to use as a storage device is a massive downside.
really? what's the app called? I'll download that one myself. I currently have a Wikiapp that works off line. fantastic for pulling up tech words in Japanese regarding game dev.
Apple, as usual, are going their own way with this. They love to "think different" and then claim to have invented things. There are keitai with higher resolution in Japan currently, so Steve Jobs was lying with his "highest resolution phone ever" crap. IMO it's too expensive and I still prefer flip phones, so I won't be getting it (I had a 3g and now everyone has an iPhone....).
So the phone comes out in a week and O2 in the UK is still yet to reveal how much its gonna cost to actually upgrade to the phone. Hoping they announce it soon. Not really liking the fact I'm going to be paying the same price and I'm not getting unlimited internet anymore. Oh well.
Kotoba. You can enable the Chinese Handwriting keyboard if you want to hand-write shit. It's somewhat hard for many kanji though. If you want to spend money, Daijin is apparently wicked, but it's J/J only. It's got it's own hand-writing engine. That app alone made the iPhone a great purchase for me. Google maps also saved me many times, which no other smart phone here had (or did worth a shit). The built in POP3 client is also better than my last phone by Sharp which sucked.
I got that Kotoba software and yes, it's a really great bit of software to have. Used it today when out shopping. I needed to ask where the solder was. No idea what Solder was in Japanese but now I know :thumbsup: Google maps saved me yesterday. I was in the middle of no-where in desprate need of a drink but I had no cash. A quick type of 郵便局 in to the search engine and I had a all the closed ones mapped out for me. Saved my arse big time that day. I don't like Apple but I do love my 3Gs Yakumo
