HAHAHAHAHAH!
@blue carbuncle:
FYI, boost lost the ghetto girl thing and became a real company. I agree, that was pretty retarted. HERE IS THE THING:

Boost mobile: UNLIMITED calling (anytime), UNLIMITED web (although Extremely crappy), UNLIMITED texting, UNLIMITED PTT (two way radio).
Total = $50/month (and no contract)

I am going to by an ITOUCH 3g, and keep my $35 boost mobile phone. If I CAN use the Iphone with boost…. oh yeah. I’m there. Back to the ghetto I go.

Haha if one of these comes out I’ll pick one up for sure.
If I can figure out how to emulate this kind of device with a microcontroller board then it’s a jailbreaking dock for me!
Of course, I could always hack this into the dock.

@Rat sorry I was referring to the idea that Boost is a ghetto market company that would end up in a rib shack in downtown Columbus OH and offer unlocking and jailbreaking on a hand written street sign. That is the Boost mobile I was referring to. The one that uses “where you at” as its slogan lmao. I think most Boost mobile contracts end up on TV in the People’s Court or Judge Judy after Juwan and the baby mama break up. Maybe I was thinking of another Boost mobile than you.

@George
“one thing i will say though is, there is a BUTTLOAD of apps. no other phone out there now, or even in the near future will have anywhere near the same amount of apps and shit that the iphones do”
You right about shit part, Iphone indeed have ton of useless programs and most of them copy of each other.

But you know other platforms was here like for 10 year or more and all those years new software was written for them and tested by time some become premium quality and there is wagon or whole train of such cases comparing to just ton of crap written for iphone. So tell me just one thing what iphone can do even unlocked that PPC cant, common just one example.
By the way there is new verizon droid commercial which make me laugh each time, because when it ask can you phone do this and that I answer sure it can and it did this 3 years ago.

i used to knock iphone. but my girlfriend wanted one so i bought her a 3gs. ive owned a itouch since the day it came out but aside from that hated apple. well, i got her the 3gs and she hasnt stopped using it, and any chance i get i pick it up and play around with it. it of course requires a tethered jailbreak but its not a big deal really.

one thing i will say though is, there is a BUTTLOAD of apps. no other phone out there now, or even in the near future will have anywhere near the same amount of apps and shit that the iphones do. you can try to lie to yourself about it, but the iphone is great. the only downside i can think of it is the touch screen. dialing blindly on it is a pain in the ass.

i really dont know why anyone who wants a high end phone doesnt have one. beat around the bush all you want, but iphone is where its at for cell phones. all the features you have in your phone out of box can almost always be obtained with a jailbreak, and yes just about every iphone out there can be jailbroken so wtf is the deal. takes 5 minutes.

lol mine have TAB but no CTRL unless remaping keys count

I love my e71 from Nokia. It provdes THE best portable SSH experience I’ve ever had (inlcuding phone+pda, many winmo, and iphone. I can’t wait to try android). They keyboard has a CTRL key! The only thing I miss is a TAB key.

Add in native VoIP via SIP (and it’ll stay registered to my Asterisk server 24/7 so I can actually RECEIVE calls via VoIP!) and I have to say it is the most useful phone I’ve ever had.

Sure, the iphone did somethings better (Safari! Apps!) But really, do I need anything other than an SSH enabled 3G VoIP gizmo?
