If you go out drinking, either get a backup phone or keep your Touch in your pocket, in the pouch, with the screen facing inward.

Don't do what I did and wake up at 3pm on a Sunday, look at your phone for the time, and utter a throaty "ohhhhhhh shit" as you realize that somehow, at some point in the previous booze-fueled reign of terror night you just had, you cracked the living shit out of that nice fancy screen and rendered it a $400 paperweight.

Thank christ I paid nothing for it.


PS: Mikey: Download Battery Status and overclock your phone. Should do at least 247MHz, and at that you'll notice a pretty decent increase in general performance throughout the device. I don't notice any quicker drain of the battery with that either.

are you saying use batterystatus to overclock? or use another program to overclock? i tried omap clockplus and tried 240 but it sent the system into a boot loop, had to hard reset so luckily no harm done.

Yep, Battery Status. It's under the OMAP tab within the program settings.


Also those of you with iPhones - hopefully you don't run into the dead strip issue with your screen. A friend of mine who has had his for no more than about 3 months has encountered it, and the only thing he can do is replace the screen + touch sensor. Yeowch.

fuel the rumor mill!

This actually might be going down, according to tipster of ours. At this point, we have yet to confirm the information, so we’re going to leave it as a rumor for the time being. In any case, here is what we have been told: * Deutsche Telekom has been pre-approved for a financing and protocol agreement which will allow them to introduce T-Mobile to the Canadian market (subject to restrictions in all provinces except Ontario during a 6, 12 and 18 month trial period that expires in 2010), and also pre-approves them for testing roaming, cell tower reception and international data agreements. * The person heading up the Canadian division of Deutsche Telekom will be Canadian, in compliance with the Canadian Business Ethics law * Deutsche Telekom already owns the name T-Mobile in Canada under a US Parent Office international exchange program. * They plan to launch T-Mobile in Canada in 2009. * Currently, as we all know, Rogers is the only GSM game in town. With T-Mobile’s entrance into the Canadian market, data rates are going to plummet quickly. DT also plans to introduce an unlimited BlackBerry plan to the Canadaian market to be priced at $75/month. Basically telling Rogers to go screw themselves. * T-Mobz Canada is set to offer many of the devices we’re used to seeing here in the U.S. like the Sidekick line and T-Mobile’s HTC products. I guess that’s bye bye Fido Sidekicks? So, yeah. A whole bunch of info, completely unconfirmed, so again, take this as you will. We’ll dig a little deeper and find out what we can, and as always, keep y’all updated. Anyone in Canada need to change their pants after reading this (assuming it happens)?

my guess is that they'd probably end up leasing some of the bandwidth and towers from Rogers..

"let's go blow up some towers then complain that there's no service.."

Now Taliban regrets cellphone disruptions Cellphone shutdown leaves 250,000 Afghans without phones after Taliban attacks March 26, 2008 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL–Taliban attacks on telecom towers have prompted cellphone companies to shut down service across southern Afghanistan, angering a quarter million customers who have no other telephones. Even some Taliban fighters now regret the disruptions and are demanding that service be restored by the companies. The communication blackout follows a campaign by the Taliban, which said the United States and NATO were using the fighters' cellphone signals to track them at night and launch pinpoint attacks. About 10 towers have been attacked since the warning late last month – seven of them seriously – causing almost $2 million in damage, the telecom ministry said. Afghanistan's four major mobile phone companies began cutting service across the south soon after. The speed with which the companies acted shows how little influence the government has in remote areas and how just a few attacks can cripple a basic service and a booming, profitable industry. The shutdown could also stifle international investment in the country during a time of rising violence. But the cutoff is proving extremely unpopular among Afghan citizens. Even some Taliban fighters are asking that the towers be switched back on, said Afghanistan's telecommunications minister, A. Sangin. That dissenting view shows how decisions made by the top-ranking Taliban leadership can have negative consequences for lower-ranking fighters in the field, the minister said. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid hinted in a telephone interview that the group could change its tactics. "We see that some people are having problems, so we might change the times that the networks are shut down in the coming days," Mujahid said. That the Taliban could dictate when the country's mobile phone networks operate shows the weakness of the central government and the international forces that operate here, said Mohammad Qassim Akhgar, a political analyst in Kabul. "After the Taliban announcement, they were aware of the situation, and still they couldn't provide security for the towers," Akhgar said. "Maybe destroying a few towers will not have any effect on the government, but the news or the message that comes out of this is very big, and all to the benefit of the Taliban." All four of the major phone companies – Roshan, AWCC, Areeba and Etsalat – declined to comment.
