This phone thing is horrible

[guest2859]

So, I've been on my phone for about 3 months now. I don't even know my post count or karma anymore. In fact, can someone tell me? So, anyways, I have no idea when I'll be getting my computer back, and I don't even know what is being done to it, knowing the processor in it was probably made in 1995. Well, I can sneak time in at school, but I'm slowly cycling through. Just know that when I get back, the boards will be 10% cleaner. So long, and good night. (Atleast for the next day)

  Don't worry too much.  We'll still be waiting here when you're able to get back on.

Omg tell me about it! I've been posting from my phone for about 6 months! It's horrible. I'd have finished the archive by now if I was on a computer.

I give you credit. I don't think I could last 3 months having to use the internet with only my phone. That takes some serious fortitude.

I can't view images that are posted and BBcode isn't parsed. So, all I can do is read and post. I can't even edit, but I don't even know if that changes throughout the phone model.

Well I can edit from my iPod but it's an incredibly painful process.

I've gotten pretty used to posting/editing from my iPod, that's how I'm on here all the time at school, though computers are a ton easier

You guys should seriously consider second hand computers. Should cost a good deal less than your smartphones.  I mean look: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Slim-Compact-computer-Desktop-PC-2-0ghz-256ram-40GB-/150464727372?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item230865894c sure better than a phone.

I have a two year old computer that will still be top of the line two years from now. The issue is my Internet. I can no longer afford it .

[guest2859]

I think they should try lowering prices to help with the recession. Really, if people can't afford it to start out with, why would you think they could afford it when the price goes up twenty dollars monthly?

I didn't realise, I always thought it cost more over the phone, is it much cheaper now?

[guest2859]

I have Straight Talk, and it's 45 a month with talk text and data unlimited.

Internet charges in the US are expensive?

Ouch - and I thought the internet made our lives easier!

Well, I have really bad news. My iPod appears to be dying (or it has major software issues). My posts may be VERY erratic the next few days while I fix this

Oh noes!! we cant have that! you need to get some cheap dsl for your home pc or something or jailbreak your ipod so you can tether your computer to it wirelessly and use the 3G.

I suggest soaking it in alcohol

About 3/4 of my posts are from an IPT, IMO the perfect portable Internet machine, and what's lost in the lack of full keyboard/mouse/display is gained in the lack of full keyboard/mouse/display.

At 45 a month the solution should be obvious. Ditch your mobile and get a broadband and landline contract, should cost way less than that. Might have enough left over for a pay as you go phone. I know mine only cost $10.

I don't even know what an IPT is...

I think I'm gonna jail break this baby. But I've heard it's really hard to set it up as a wireless adapter for a pc. I'll figure it all out before I try.
