Anyone else looking at smart phones ATM? I got mine but the better half is looking at one now so thought maybe someone here might be a little more up to date with the newer ones. She's looking at a HTC Wildfire ATM but apparently the screen res is pretty crappy? Thoughts?

I have an HTC legend that I'm really happy with. Screen resolution is fine for what I do with it. Depends on what she wants it for.

Cheers
Dave

Being smaller might be an issue for her, she doesn't use the net on her phone now because it's hard to see the text and she prefers to not have to zoom in and out all the time. The last bit is no help...

screw the smart phone and get the smart 'tablets' that are also phones. The Samsung Galaxy Tab & Dell Streak look the goods.

Govt is stopping the use of blackberrys and will move to this sorts of devices.

edit: i feel strangely like a corona *insert mystery icon*

I am the last holdout. I don't use a mobile , my last mobile was a Motorola Brick analog that was useful, if you couldn't dial 000 quick enough you could kill the assailant by hitting them with the phone.

I work for Vodafone Hutchison Australia you heard me.

Proof: my phone:



this phone (currently a Nokia E whatsit thingo) has never been charged or connected. I function perfectly without a moble and you know what, everyone can't believe I don't have one.

If you want to contact me, email me or get me on landline. If it's important then ring 000.

In 6 years of working for the company nobody there has ever tried to contact me by mobile. Edit: they have my Telstra landline and my Bigpond email address

Geez, I'd better hold out from buying it! Fallout 3 is already too damn addictive.

Yeah, apart from there being a more than acceptable amount of bugs (many of which will hopefully be patched by the time by the time you get around to it) this is in many ways an improvement and refinement of that already brilliant game. Definitely wait until you're done with 3 before starting NV. There's no way you'll be able to sustain both at once.

How are you finding it Bum? I am slowly working my way through Point Lookout and am contemplating buying New Vegas. On another note, I watched The Road the other night felt someone brought Fallout 3 to life.

cheers

I never got the DLC for Fallout 3 because my disc is the US version (ps3) and while discs aren't region locked DLC is. If you really got into FO3 there is no reason not to get New Vegas. I went into it expecting pretty much more of the same but ended up getting more to love (if that makes sense). The changes are subtle but all are improvements on what was a very strong game. It cannot be denied that it is buggy at the moment so I'd definitely hold off until you're totally done with FO3 and hopefully it'll be patched to the level FO3 is at (still buggy but acceptable). Either way it is possibly more addictive than 3 and the story seems to have more depth to it (at 40hrs in) and the slight Wild West feel gives the game a character differing from 3.

Ohh man... all this talk of the ps3 is making me sad... PS3 died it's last death weekend before last... looks as though the graphics card is fried.

trying to go through the statuatory warranty path right now.. but looks like i'll either have to pony up the $250 for refrub replacement for same model (40gb) or get myself a new one. <_<
