[14:45] w00t... new phone! Picked up the HTC Amaze yesterday... my Nexus One is broken... *sniff* [14:47] its no surprise really... but this phone has comparable specs to my wife's netbook... dual 1.5ghz and 1 GB Ram... Im waiting for quad-core phones... :D [15:04] i heard shuttleworth promises ubuntu for your phone soon [15:05] i wonder if the phone would have an animal name then ... [15:07] BugeyeD: lmao... [15:07] i recently upgraded to the iphone4s. no computer required for configuration/backup/whatever, so i no longer have to boot my macbook to osx ... [15:07] th phone might be able to run linux... but definitely not unity. \ [15:08] a friend recently purchased the atrix and said it was faster than his desktop computer [15:08] these things are amazing as of late [15:08] this phone is pretty snappy, especially compared to my nexus - which still has good specs compared to the majority of phones out there [15:08] this one happened to be released this month... [15:09] who is your carrier? [15:09] Tmo... [15:09] what's broken with your N1? [15:10] I almost dropped them, but Verizon is the only option... the charging port is trashed. [15:10] I wish the radio modules were swappable. I have an AT&T N1 but I switched to T-Mo. It works fine but only get EDGE data. [15:10] all it is is bare metals strips... there's not even any plastic around them anymore... [15:10] i have bad blood with verizon, so i just stuck with at&t. [15:11] I know they claim the 4G is compatible, but my nexus wasn't a 4g phone... the Amaze is and I have _much_ better service with a 4G phone... [15:11] full 4G bars at my house and with the nexus it was one or two... [15:12] it could be partially due to construction - the nexus suffered from the death grip unfortunately... [15:12] funny how everyone thought that was an iphone issue [15:13] you dropped your landline yet, or are you keeping it for 911? [15:13] looks like he dropped his cell, not his landline [15:13] or maybe that was the deathgrip [15:14] can you here me now? [15:14] hear [15:14] lol [15:14] duh [15:14] deathgrip? [15:14] \o/ [15:14] like the old iphone, they bury the antenna in the bottom of the handset which is where most people hold it... [15:15] so the signal dies.... slowly... while you're holding it... [15:15] but apple got all the heat. i just think it's funny. [15:15] well, theirs was the worse... [15:15] sure it was. what do you sync your phone data with? i mean contacts/calendars/etc. ? [15:15] nexus was more like a minor irritation... but I think overall the design was not very radio friendly [15:16] Google partially because of GVoice but everything else through my server - exchange active-sync [15:16] what server? please tell me it's not actually exchange ... [15:17] no... Its GroupOffice they use z-push which is an Exchange emulator. [15:17] but it works solid [15:17] i'm using zimbra at the moment. it works fine. :) [15:17] i wonder who turned me on to that ... [15:17] lol... [15:18] I've since switched to GroupOffice... :D [15:18] is that the php thing you were banging on awhile back? [15:18] yeah... php, meh... [15:19] i just threw up a little in my mouth ... [15:19] but it does work pretty well, I think they want it do to to much... and they haven't really integrated it in an intuitive manner... you really have to get used to that thing. [15:19] why that over zimbra? [15:20] because I can configure my subsystem - imap, amavis, postfix, SA, etc - independently of GroupOffice [15:20] and it doesn't use java, which makes me throw up a little less when I think about it [15:20] heh, i hear ya. [15:21] not that java isn't a good language, its just that... my god Zimbra needs 2GB of ram to just run [15:21] yup [15:21] but i'm pretty impressed with it thus far. i like the search functionality and how everything is all integrated [15:21] GroupOffice incorporated the postfix admin module too... so you can configure your virtual domains/emails directly in the web app too... [15:22] zimbra in general is acutally easier to use and understand that GO [15:22] that may be a viable alternative if this client gets tired of GO
