| #2jesse.two.coinsJun 01, 2011 8:47:37 | If you need help running it just ask me and I'll help ![]() |
| #3jesse.two.coinsJun 01, 2011 11:35:11 | at first having android is a little daunting because of all the options, but as long as you get a model that I'm familiar with, I can help you every step of the way :D |
| #4zombie_babiesJun 01, 2011 11:57:11 | It looks cool but I don't see any pressing reason to spend the time modifying my layout just to make it look a li'l different, ya know? Plus all those buttons make it look cluttered. Meh. |
| #5EscefJun 01, 2011 12:01:24 | Ok... And I'd want this because...? |
| #6jesse.two.coinsJun 01, 2011 12:11:27 | It looks cool but I don't see any pressing reason to spend the time modifying my layout just to make it look a li'l different, ya know? Plus all those buttons make it look cluttered. Meh. the live tiles? I enjoy them, so far today its helped me check my phone less, its more of a personal thing so I understand where you're coming from. Ok... And I'd want this because...? because now I have windows phone seven for $50 a month instead of $100? |
| #7zombie_babiesJun 01, 2011 12:18:38 | the live tiles? I enjoy them, so far today its helped me check my phone less, its more of a personal thing so I understand where you're coming from. Doesn't your status bar update you enough? I mean, it's cool and all but it just doesn't seem worth the effort to me. Like ya said, personal thing. Plus I have a Droid cuz I like the Google OS. I had a Windows phone before (not 7 though) and it was a buggy, always lockin' up piece of crap. ![]() |
| #8EscefJun 01, 2011 12:20:18 | Ok... And I'd want this because...? You're missing the point. What does this app offer me? What does Windows phone gain me? What does it do for me that my current Android OS isn't doing for me? |
| #9EscherEnigmaJun 01, 2011 12:28:45 | On a vaguely related note, do they even make smart phones without cameras these days? |
| #10jesse.two.coinsJun 01, 2011 12:30:51 | On a vaguely related note, do they even make smart phones without cameras these days? no sir |
| #11jesse.two.coinsJun 01, 2011 12:34:44 | the live tiles? I enjoy them, so far today its helped me check my phone less, its more of a personal thing so I understand where you're coming from. yeah I remember old windows phone software...ugh, they've changed alot though. Ok... And I'd want this because...? simplicity my friend. Its also a great theft deterrant, I mean...who wants to steal microsoft tech? ;) all jokes aside though, its also a neat way to impress people by switching from OS to OS, I also have an Iphone emulator, I call my phone the Iwindroid |
| #12zombie_babiesJun 01, 2011 12:38:17 | yeah I remember old windows phone software...ugh, they've changed alot though. They better have if they want to have a prayer of competing. That Windows phone was total garbage. Worse than my Droid in every way imaginable. I honestly can't think of one thing it did even as good as Android does. Nothing even close, really. Man, that phone sucked. Heh. ![]() |
| #13jesse.two.coinsJun 01, 2011 12:41:05 | yeah I remember old windows phone software...ugh, they've changed alot though. Is your droid rooted? |
| #14EscefJun 01, 2011 12:44:43 | all jokes aside though, its also a neat way to impress people by switching from OS to OS, I also have an Iphone emulator, I call my phone the Iwindroid I have yet to hear a compelling reason to do this. I'm not a show monkey, I don't exist to impress people. |
| #15zombie_babiesJun 01, 2011 12:48:03 | Is your droid rooted? Nope. Haven't really had a reason to. |
| #16EscherEnigmaJun 01, 2011 13:07:39 | On a vaguely related note, do they even make smart phones without cameras these days? That's what I thought. When I get a new phone (next few months) it can't have a camera, so... |
| #17zombie_babiesJun 01, 2011 13:40:40 | They won't letcha just deactivate the camera? Is it possible to just leave the phone in the car? |
| #18EscherEnigmaJun 01, 2011 14:39:24 | Well, yeah, I could just leave it in the car, but doing that means that I'm more likely to accidentally turn it into a car phone. Edit: and no, deactivating the camera is not sufficient. |
| #19zombie_babiesJun 01, 2011 15:16:29 | Well that certainly sucks. Do they even make dumb phones that don't have cameras anymore? I mean, I honestly can't think of one ... |
| #20jesse.two.coinsJun 02, 2011 6:36:42 | if you get an android i can help you remove all the camera apk's? and zb i rooted mine I have custom boot animations and i got rid of all the locked apps |
| #21EscherEnigmaJun 02, 2011 7:44:47 | What part of "deactivating the camera is not sufficient" was unclear? If the hardware is there it's not's allowed in many parts of a secure location. No software solution is sufficient, and rightly so. |

No software solution is sufficient, and rightly so. jeez don't be so sassy dude, I could also walk you through physically removing it. Or these might work for you. www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=20... www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=25... www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=27... www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=25... www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=30... www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=24... all of the links are the most up to date phones without cameras they cover just about every carrier. I think the original iphone doesn't have a camera |
| #23EscherEnigmaJun 02, 2011 8:21:35 | ... Fascinating. Either the little description blurbs for those phones are lying, or only two of them don't have cameras. Regardless, while I appreciate the attempt at help, when I do get a new phone I'm more then capable of handling the shopping myself. |
| #24jesse.two.coinsJun 02, 2011 8:24:35 | I looked at the pictures and didn't see any cameras, oh well, I hope you find the phone that you like. |
| #25jesse.two.coinsJun 02, 2011 8:32:50 | oh escher after some more research I found that sprint offers blackberries without cameras. I think verizon has one too. |
| #26zombie_babiesJun 02, 2011 8:35:57 | oh escher after some more research I found that sprint offers blackberries without cameras. I think verizon has one too. Why do you hate EE? Recommending a Blackberry. For shame. ![]() |
| #27jesse.two.coinsJun 02, 2011 11:55:55 | its the only solution! lol |
| #28zombie_babiesJun 02, 2011 11:57:32 | RIM is no solution, man. Not even close. |
| #29jesse.two.coinsJun 02, 2011 12:47:52 | I'm sorry lol he's used to dumb phones a black berry can't be that bad? |
| #30EscefJun 02, 2011 15:41:18 | What part of "deactivating the camera is not sufficient" was unclear? If the hardware is there it's not's allowed in many parts of a secure location. No software solution is sufficient, and rightly so. I'm kind of amazed at that, because the locations I worked at didn't even allow you to bring a cell in at all. |
| #31EscherEnigmaJun 02, 2011 15:59:25 | I'm kind of amazed at that, because the locations I worked at didn't even allow you to bring a cell in at all. Well... I know some places on the base that's true. No phones, no iPods, no digital media at all, really. But, of the places I saw personally on my site visit back in April, only one was that restrictive. However, I'll know for sure what the policies/restrictions are, in full, once I get out there. What I know for certain though is that camera phones are a big no-no. |
| #32EscherEnigmaJun 02, 2011 18:02:43 | Hence why, once I have a job that's interesting and has me doing stuff that doesn't make me feel like a glorified paperpusher, I won't be on the forums as much. |
