... as opposed to his chamberpot?
Nice and clean, shaped like your hand, and the plastic rear is slightly rubberized so it doesn't slide out easily.
THIS IS NOT A MAC THREAD
Now, if you want to keep stirring up crap, get out... It's MY thread, so you can just stuff it.
In the mean time, anything meaningful to add, other than personal attacks and insults?
How is this NOT a Mac thread?
You are so silly.
But the stylus ... where's the stylus?
Go away, troll...
How is this not a Mac thread?
More importantly, a phone that doesn’t need a rubber bumper added so you can use it as a phone, and one that doesn’t shatter into millions of pieces when you drop it!
What’s the rate of breakage on that grippy, zippy little senior citizen model you’re touting? What sort of glass does it use?
I don’t use a bumper. I dropped mine only 2 weeks in when I was listening to an audiobook.
I dropped it on stone [actually slate]. Not a scratch.
I would not want to do this again and can’t say it would be successful twice. But the glass on my unprotected phone is spotless .... so far.
My Sprint EVO Rocks!!!
It's got a great glass screen with resistive touch, one with resolution only barely eclipsed by the iPhone 4 (which was a full year after the release of the Touch Pro2). And I GREATLY prefer resistive over capacitive - it just works with dirty fingers, gloves, pencils, whatever...;)
I just find it surprising that the new iPhone (touted with its Gorilla glass) has such a high breakage rate - nearly twice that of the previous version! Perhaps the idea of glass front AND back, and a hard aluminum side band was a bad idea. With nearly 5% broken so far, in just 4 months, that's a pretty significant breakage rate!
As PSS stated, he invited me into this thread.
You still haven’t apologized for accusing me of a federal crime.
Apple’s over 300 today!!! Yeah!
Still no apology?
You broke your second promise. That tells me everything I need to know about the veracity of your posts.
“You broke your second promise. That tells me everything I need to know about the veracity of your posts.”
Its not a mac thead, it was started by Pugetsoundsoldier who invited me in.
You’ve been asked to stop being a troll on this thread. You’ve accused me of a federal crime and continue to lie about it. Typical behavior for your crowd so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Now stop harassing me.
Form over function.
I still love my TouchPro2 (Tilt2). But I had to load JackOS on it to remove the ATT bloatware.
How is it NOT a Mac thread? It says iPhone in the title? What platform are you talking about?
I’ll humor you: Point out where I accused you of a “federal crime”.
