    Can you make posts on TD with your Nokia ?
    Why in the fuck would I want to? It's a phone. I have a computer. As usual, you're totally missing the point.

    actually, many of those apple drones waiting at the stores are apple employees, they are actually on the clock and being paid overtime. It's a marketing blitz, employees at apple are "encouraged" to stand in line and send a perception of product success.

    Microsoft used to do the same marketing shit when certain Windows version were released. They would send "MS" employees like developers, sales executives, staff etc... to stand in line and create the "marketing" moment. The company would even reimburse their purchase. What a big fucking joke.

    of course the point of doing this is to bring traction, so maybe 25% of those drones are actually employees and the very first in lines, the rest are just the usual "followers" who have nothing to do all day so when they see a line and a marketing moment, they jump on it to fill out their meaningless boring lives.

    ^Unlike you, obviously, I don't spend a lot of time at free clinics getting 'rashes' checked out. That you do might well be a refection on your lifestyle, and a wake-up call.

    That was just an example that came up that I thought would pertain to your lifestyle.

    I guess if you are half assed retired or something and not on the go all the time, then you wouldn't need a smartphone. Im always on the go so its nice to be able to check my stocks, check the news, surf TD , fuck around on my hockey pool when im on the move.

    I make TD posts on long drives

    I can on mine, got it in 2009.
    I don't know if it qualifies as a smartphone but it's got GPS, i can send and recieve emails, make posts on TD, has a camera, a calculator and some other very useful functions, very handy little device and there was no hype about it at all.
    I'm with JPPR2 on this (great rant by the way).
    The hype and the muppets that this iphone nonsense generates is out of all proportion to the product.
    It's JUST A FUCKING PRODUCT YOU MUPPETS.

    When you pre order one of these phones, Apple/samsung or whoever will let the public pick up the item a day early from selected stores, this also gives great free advertisement through news coverage. Qite clever really

    I have not had a phone since I moved to Thailand in 2004. Was in the US Embasy last week, and had to put all of my personal items to be scanned in a box. The poor bastard could not believe that I did not have a phone. He asked me 3 times. If you want to contact me, email.

    and as soon as its specifications are announced - Samsung will unleash the lawyers , as Apple will be infringing on some LTE patents of theirs

    When Jobs rolled out the iRack it was surely innovative, just lacking in design & engineering,

    but I'm confident the iRan he foreshadowed ^ before his death, will really shock & awe the world, maybe usher in iWW3.

    but the offering was very underwhelming - there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth

    I am surprised they didn't make statues out of him at Apple HQ, a giant one would seem appropriate

    or his pictures in every hallways and every office ?

    I heard on the BBC that the release of the new ipone, whatever one of those is, could boost America's GDP by as much as 0.5% Seriosly, that is impressive.

    according to this article , if you extrapolate you will find that 50% of Americas GDP by 2030 will be made by buying and selling the iphone to each other

    iPhone to account for half of US economy by 2030 - projection ? The Register
