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