oscillik Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 ok, i had a look through the original thread, and according to that, it should just automatically detect and show me the mobile version. but it doesn't. i have to change the theme, which ends up changing it to the mobile version even on my desktop. anyone know how i can sort this shit out?

chenGOD Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Not to turn this into a "bitch at oscillik thread", but if you're unemployed, did you really need that phone? What's wrong with a straight up cell phone that makes and receives calls, text messages and has no customizable ring tones? I understand that you've already bought the thing, but I'm just curious about the thought process that went into - "I'm unemployed, I know, I'll go buy a flash phone".

My friend who bought an iphone and had it stolen (besides, the thief didn't show up on gmail) downloaded it for free. Anyway it's a must have app : when you send a request to a website, the datas go through opera's servers which compress them : thus internet is way faster (given that it's fucking slow on my 2G iphone over wifi).

I understand that you've already bought the thing, but I'm just curious about the thought process that went into - "I'm unemployed, I know, I'll go buy a flash phone". you're right, it's totally none of your business the circumstances that led to me having enough money to buy (what i thought was) a decent phone in December and then slowly realising that it is complete and utter shit, and then deciding to go for a different phone, by selling the shit phone and a few other things to be able to buy a second hand phone that actually works the way i think a smartphone should. yes you're correct. absolutely none of your business. good day sir. yeah, you gotta pay for that app though :-/ oh well, i'll just stick with the normal site. thanks are you sure ?

chenGOD Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 if you're broke as fuck, why would you want a smartphone? Seems like it should be pretty low on the list of priorities...no need to be a cunt about things by the way, I'm merely asking a question. and tapatalk is free - but the free version is read only http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-quoord-tapatalk-activity-xtni.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Actually i have a question. The internet in my college works perfect on my laptop but wont work at all on my phone.

J3FF3R00 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have iPhone. The normal site looks a bit meh on it. My wife just got the Android/Samsung Vibrant and WATMM looks much nicer on it. The screen is a bit bigger too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the phone because I had done some temporary work and had enough to buy the phone. The reason I bought the phone was so I could primarily keep in touch with my partner at the time. However, Nokia have continually let the users of the N900 down in various respects in terms of buggy firmware, lack of support, and completely ditching the software platform that it was based on months before the phone was released (unbeknownst to the general public at the time). Since my fiancée fucked me over, I am no longer in need of a phone that is continually connected to Skype, but after using smartphones of various incarnations since 2003, I have become dependent on an "always-on" lifestyle. So I part exchanged a few items so I could get the phone that I should've got. Whether it should be low on the priorities list is a matter of subjectivity, considering that I have few friends in real life that I can socialise with, my main method of communication and socialising is through the internet. sad as that may be, and possibly even maybe not a priority to you, it is to me. does that answer your questions succinctly? forgive my tone. i'm unwell, and not really in the mood to be answering questions that aren't pertinent.

I was broke as fuck and bought an iPhone because I couldn't afford to miss an email. A year later, I'm busier and more well off financially than I've ever been in my life. Just sayin. *edit* I'm a freelancer btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just won't happen w/ my phone There is no log in for my college internet. It has no security or anything. The only thing I had to do with my laptop was to input the proxy settings, or set it to get proxy automatically. Cant remember which one though.
