Said this at 12:38am:Glad to see I’m not the only one who takes pictures while driving.
Perhaps we’ll collide one day while both looking at our camera phones.

Said this at 4:55am:Camera phone, hell. My camera phone is encrusted with cigarette smoke and takes a crappy photo. That’s my Panasonic DMC-FZ10.

I loaded the battery and card while driving, took off the cap and started snapping.
As for crashing into each other, with the way I was driving while doing all that shit, it’s a definite possibility.

Said this at 12:00pm:I had a camera phone that took pictures like that.
It was a Samsung T800, one of those $300 slider phones. I returned it though, for a Motorola V360, because it was just too damned flimsy. And yep, the Motorola takes crappy photos.

Said this at 4:59pm:I’m gonna have to get a new cell phone soon, and the #1 priority will be a powerful antenna. Around my house (with T-Mobile) I get maybe 1-2 bars. Inside: 0.
What kind of phone do I have, you ask? Motorola v300.
How much do I use it now? I think it’s in my briefcase in the living room, uncharged.
What features am I looking for in my next phone? Why, glad you asked!
First, of course, is that powerful antenna so I can use it at home. Without that, the phone is useless to me.
Second is bluetooth so I can use the wireless headsets. I need hands-free phone.
Third is a speakerphone feature with which I can start a call instead of waiting for the call to connect, THEN switching to speakerphone. Fucking annoying. I really don’t like putting the phone to my head, it’s just an uncomfortable position to hold for the long calls I have to make, so good speakerphone is necessary.
Fourth is a cradle where I can charge the phone instead of using the annoying little wire and plugging it into the bottom of the phone, then jiggling it for 5 minutes to make sure the damn thing actually starts charging. Why is my phone in my briefcase, uncharged, unused, unloved? Because I rarely use it at home and charging it has always been a bitch.
All the other bells and whistles that are constantly promoted by the wireless companies, such as MP3 players, camera, video, radio… all useless to me. I could care less about that. I just need the fucking thing to WORK.
My cell phone ain’t bling.
My cell phone ain’t status.
My cell phone just needs to WORK!
My cell phone frustrates me.
This should be its own post. :>

Said this at 10:39pm:The problem isn’t your antenna. It’s T-Mobile, and yes, I use them too. So I know of what I speak. My friend and I are jumping ship to Verizon, soon, because in the last 9 months, they have become fucking abysmal.
I don’t know what’s going on at T-Mobile, but they are on the bullet train to hell, and I been with them 4 some years now. I hear great things about Verizon’s signal strength and quality, though, and I am seriously looking into them.
I’ve addressed these concerns to T-Mobile, who simply don’t care, and tell me it’s not their problem at all, but perhaps how I use my phone. They even suggested I turn the phone off every day or so for 5 mins, then turn it back on, so it reconnects to their tower, thus (POSSIBLY) improving the signal.
Bullshit. It needs to work. 24/7. My house is the only place I get a good signal; everywhere else, just like yours, 1-2 bars or NO SIGNAL AT ALL. And the latter happens quite alot.

Said this at 10:55pm:Just the opposite for me on signal strength…
Fuck this, I’m making another post with all these comments.
