I used a really minimal Nokia 1100 for years before I finally broke down and got an iPhone in 2009. I'm on an HTC Rezound now, and it's a decent phone, though I'm not crazy about Verizon's default ROM.

I have a Samsung Replenish, which is a low-end Android phone. Sometimes I get greedy and find myself wishing I had something more powerful, but...well, this one does everything I wanted a smartphone for, and it was free.

I used cheap no-contract phones for a bit, but eventually I desired to live on the cutting edge of phone technology.
To bad the cutting edge still blew ass until the last couple years.
It's only NOW do I have a phone that I just love to death.
3G has jack shit on 4G.
Or maybe T-Mobile 3G was just lame...or my old phone had a shitty processor. Hard to say.
THIS is my current phone:
The T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide has a 3.7 inch WVGA Super LCD display with a 4 row QWERTY keyboard that slides out in landscape orientation. A 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor is under the hood. Manufactured by HTC, of course, the handset offers Sense 3.0 on top of Android 2.3. Netflix is pre-installed on the phone as is swipe to type QWERTY Swype and Qik mobile video chat. The 8MP rear camera comes with AF, dual LED flash and offers ClearShot HDR. T-Mobile also says that the rear camera has "Zero shutter lag" allowing you to press the shutter and take a picture instantly. Video can be captured at 1080p.

I try not to rely on 3G, honestly. I use wi-fi whenever I can (like right now).
4G on Verizon is quite good, though I don't know what HTC did to the Rezound browser to make it suck so bad. It was fine on the Incredible! :P I'm highly tempted to root the thing and install a new ROM, but I keep hearing that Android 4.0 will be available Any Day Now and so I keep putting it off.
Also, apparently, Verizon is confused again. The part of their site that handles the remote DVR access apparently thinks I don't have a DVR, so I can't use the remote DVR manager at all. However, the part that actually handles what services you have clearly states that I do have a DVR. Why these two aren't talking, I will never know. It means I have to fucking call them, I guess, but I'm not spending an hour on hold with graveyard-shift support people when I could be sleeping.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Good morning, everyone.
My avatar looks huge at this new size. Maybe I should zoom out a bit?

Changing the thumbnail was what I meant by "zoom out." Sorry about that.
And that's exactly what I did, though it hasn't shown up on my end yet.

There we go! Now I see it. A little off-center, but not bad. I think I'll keep it this way.

Oh jeez we've disturbed his territory! Quick, turn the boat around!

I read about your dream last night, squid. Sorry to hear that they've been disturbing you a lot recently. Anything in particular bothering you?
The part with the dog slaves reminded me of a random idea I had in my head last night. I was going to give one of my characters a similar nightmare to that, but it doesn't seem like it would fit anywhere in the (admittedly not fleshed out much) story I had in mind.

I can't think of a good sig line. I considered the lyrics from the theme song of the Johto season of the Pokémon anime, but that might seem a bit out of place with my posts.

Tre: Actually, that gives me a completely unrelated idea. How's this work?

Ooh, nice! I'll keep that in reserve for next time!

I'm only asking because I'm going to be releasing The Beet Tape fairly soon and want to give it a cool album cover. But I am not good with visual stuff.
Do you want any artist names on the cover? So far I've got this.
(Note: The yellow border around "the beets tape" won't be there when I'm done with it. Also, it'll be a lot bigger, since I'm making it at 1500 pixels squared.)

Thanks.
Working on making a TF2 reskin.
this is a bit more complicated than i expected
^^Song lyrics are always a safe bet.
My sig is a line from the song "Rooftop" by Das Racist and Despot.

Is anyone here good with photoshop or at drawing?
Well, that was an exercise in frustration.
i suddenly have a whole new respect for video game retexturers. who'd have thought it.
here's the current tracklist if anyone cares.
it's The Beet Tape, not Beets Tape. :P
as for artist names, could you put "Blixty Slycat" as the artist name, and perhaps stick "[skullboy entertainment]" somewhere in one of the corners?
Love the design though.
