Title: What cell phone should I get?
Post by: po2okemon on July 05, 2010, 07:56:16 PM

With the new Droid X coming out next week I've been thinking about getting that one. I'd prefer a phone I can get SSH access on, though. So I can ssh and use irssi and whatnot. General shell access would be nice too. Though I don't think that's possible on these kinds of phone.

Cell phones are gay.

We wouldn't need cell phones if we had payphones.

And because I can't afford a cell phone.

The only problem is there's no texting or camera capabilities. And you can't use it on the 3G network.  :nonsense: :nonsense: :nonsense:

By the way, how much was service for that type of phone?

I like rotary phones.  If you get a long enough phone cord, you can hang it on your belt loop while you're outside working, too.

Plus, wireless stuff causes cancer.

Of course I really have an iPhone.  Why would I lie about that?

I have an iPhone as well. It's basically a mini computer. One of these days I'll get around to uploading redbox tones on it. iRedbox.

I think someone should should make a PLA app for it.

The college I attended last semester blocked the Phonelosers website because it was classified as tasteless by the content filter on the routers so I dropped out. I'm so happy I can listen to PLA Radio again.

IDC who you attribute it to but "Shoot up heroin...your school....kill your parents." should be a chapter heading too.

Parents first; there's no getting out of the school once you start killing.
