My new phone

[tonksy]

Our contract is up for renewal finally and my phone is at death's door. I am putting it out of it's misery tomorrow. I'll be getting the AT&T Tilt, otherwise known as the HTC 8925 which is a couple of generations newer than my non-tiltable 8125.

Feeling extra geeky?

I have its sibling, the Titan (Mogul). Enjoy!

 

[tonksy]

Do you like it?

 

[Mirlyn]

If you're even more geeky, hack it.

I do.

 

[Mirlyn]

Do you like it?

I do. It could be faster, but its still a lot more flexible than any other phone/pda I've used. Bluetooth modem for my laptop on the road (no more special USB tethering), wireless for faster internet at home and signal testing when at work, syncs with my google calendar, google maps with GPS, Office 2007 and Acrobat for emailed documents, the camera flash is turned into a flashlight, I can listen to sirius and internet streaming radio/mp3s with it...its really handy.

 

[tonksy]

I am so excited.

 

[tonksy]

Got it! posting from it is still annoying but much less so. woot!

 

[Mirlyn]

Yay!

 

[tonksy]

It synced beautifully. I had to update my activesync but all my data from my old phone is on my new save what was on my old storage card. I shall have to do that manually. I did get an 8GB card for what I paid (roughly) for a 2 GB card 2 years ago.
I am wanting a Jawbone blue-toothy thing but need to save my pennies.

 

[tonksy]

Just loaded 903 songs to the chip. Still have plenty of room too. Sweet.

 

[Mirlyn]

I need a bigger card. Still using the 512mb it came with.

 

[A.B.Normal]

How are you converting to MP3 or are yo using songs already from iTunes.I have a 4gb card in my phone and an 8gb in my GPS ,but only use them for ringtones, pictures,maps etc...

 

[tonksy]

I copied and pasted directly from the folder where I keep my music. All but one of the songs I transferred over was accepted

I have this wee little USB sleeve I can put the card in and jam it directly into my tower or I can stick the card in the phone and sync the phone and add stuff to the card via my computer->mobile device->my mobile device->storage card.

 

[tonksy]

This amuses me to no end. Check how tiny this card is:

 

[Professur]

another new one? Didn't you just get a new one last time we were there?

 

[tonksy]

That was 2 years ago, Chief.

 

[Mirlyn]

Mine's MicroSD. Looks the same.

I've never had it fall out, unlike my Treo which would eject way too easily (in/out of pocket).

Wow, I should upgrade!

 

[Professur]

That was 2 years ago, Chief.

My phone's about 10 years old and still going strong.

I had major power issues with the old version (which is no longer made by HTC). We had purchased a new battery from one of those battery supply chains and it only briefly fixed the issue.
Besides, I have more speed on my internet connection, the camera is over half again better, it's lighter, and the tilt screen makes texting and surfing almost as if you are doing it on a teeny weeny laptop.

Rob's phone is still trucking right along.
