students get free phone - Mogul, XV6800 General

http://www.convergemag.com/story.php?catid=8&storyid=106620
Take a guess what kind of phone they got.
I just saw this on the TV (here in delaware, south of philadelphia). I'm away from my computer right now (doing this on my phone), so I can't seem to find more info then this. the TV spot showed kids playing around with a sprint and altell 6800.
lucky kids. I didn't even have a computer when I was in school.

Lucky you...PCs had not been invented when I was in school...HP35 calculators came out while I was in college.
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.

I finally just updated my phone to that this weekend. Last time i did anything to my phone was bout 8 months ago round the time grid came down to my house.
I will be officially be joining you in a boring gov't job position. My job in my current gov't intern position will end this week and then I have to officially accept one of the 2 gov't offers I have either in VA or MD. Then we can be gainfully employed and bored at the same time!

I second that..
Unless someone actually mentioned it by name, it was failed product placement. At lteast Sprint is making some kind of effort to get it out there, though.

I missed it completely...and I've seen all the Hero's and Sprint products throughout the season.
hahaha! my favorite sprint moment on this seasons 24 was a few episodes back when Chloe pulled out the sprint 4G router and they held like a 15-20 second shot on it while she talked about how she could setup a seperate network with lightning fast speeds. such obviously product "whoring" it was just hilarious!

Well, with heroes canceled, and 24 over... sprints lost 2 major product placement shows... gonna have to lay it on thick in Flash Forward
maybe they could wave phones in front of the camera randomly during Fringe I.E. the Observer?

Gotcha!
I completely didn't notice the Evo on "24" last night. I do remember the mobile hotspot pitch they did a few episodes ago. The only time I've seen Sprint blatantly advertise the Evo, was on Oprah's "No Phone Zone" special ... and by "blatant" I mean, they zoomed in on the phone as she was showing people how to text in their pledges. The name was never mentioned but the did an extreme close-up of the phone and you could see the word "Evo" on the phone.
I will never understand why Sprint didn't use "Survivor" to promote the Evo. Sprint has some sort of marketing contract with the reality show "Survivor"...Survivor uses nothing but Sprint products and they endorse Sprint all the time. One of the episodes close to this seasons finale, they surprised the last group of castaways with video messages from home ... guess what phone they used???...a friggin' PALM PRE!!! They touted the hell out of that antiquated Pre. I couldn't believe it. That would have been the PERFECT opportunity for them to at least get some buzz surrounding the Evo. But, instead, they choose to try and boost some phone almost year old. FAIL!

The 'recorded' Survivor season finale (my inlaws watched it when they came over, I do not) used a Pre, where the host said "the survivors can call their families only using the Sprint Palm Pre!, using the Now Network"...
But the live finale used an Evo -- but didn't mention it at all, just showed up..

I chuckle to myself when I think about all those HD2's I saw on Craigslist and Ebay going for dirt cheap cause people were like "Windows Mobile Sucks! I hate this phone!". But I knew this thing was a diamond in the rough that just needed a little polishing by the wonderful devs and chefs on this forum. LOL!!!! This is hands down the best "Android" phone that T-Mobile US sales! Period. And everyday it just gets betterer and betterer! To all the devs and chefs out there THANK YOU!!! one more time. You guys totally rule!!!!!

Same here, I just picked up one from craigslist for $150 in mint condition with box and everything. I haven't booted back to windows mobile yet. This is the type of phone I have been craving for long long but it never came out for t-mobile. Amazing what this group of devs can do. I used to envy sprint users with the evo, boy am I glad I held off on switching.

Whew! Talk about lucky (yeah, another toilet story).

Ever wanted to kill your wife after she dropped her evo into the crapper? I have. Just happened on Saturday. She forgot it was in her back pocket, and out it slipped (luckily pre-dump, lol). Pulled the battery right away, and buried it in a sealed tupperware container of rice. After a day and a half, took it out, and it works. Still has moisture under the screen, and the haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons isn't working right, but she can deal with those two things, unless they're cheap to fix. We'll see how things go over a longer period, as I just took it out today, but I've got some hope at least. Just felt like sharing a little messed up story.
I bet it went plop!
Nope, can't say I ever wanted to kill someone over a piece of electronics.

Wow, this thread took a weird turn. Looks like I might have to hurt someone after all, as it seems the phone stopped working after about 2 days. Now it's stuck at the splash screen. Oh, and btw, I wasn't talking about literally killing someone.
but was she good in bed?

That does suck. My first thought when I read your OP was that a day and a half isn't long enough in rice.
Buy your wife lots of new shoes, and use the desiccant packs to dry out the evo. Then return the shoes to punnish her

I'm gonna be in jail clearing up a warrant starting today. Which means no pathetically slobbering over engadgets live blogs. And already the small leaks leading up to it are so good!
Maybe they'll have the internet in there after all, they are like hotels nowadays
LOL! well good luck to you! stay out of trouble from now on! lol

Good luck to you man, I know how bad jail sucks. Best piece of advice I can give you- don't drop the soap
hahaha its washoe county.
A. They probably don't have soap.
B. 80 of people in there are weekend warriors for possession of marijuana.
C. I pity the fool that tries to give me a log ride if I were to drop the soap.
Good luck m8.... you'll be fine. Just remember, the first thing you do is find the biggest Guy that's in your cell block/pod... what ever they call them now.
Hit him square on the chin... this can have 2 outcomes. Both a plus!!!
1. He drops like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own cell for a bit and no one will f with you.
2. He smiles, drops you like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own bed in the hospital wing and people will think your crazy and have some kind of death wish.
Win... Win... plus you'll have a great story to tell either way, right?
Anyway here's a link you may want to check out.... I think they over night...

I know my way around a jail a bit. So no internet, listen to the tank boss, stick to your own kind white on white, black with black, etc... always brush your teeth before morning chow or you will get a beatdown. Lastly find out which toilets are for what. One will be for pissing, one for ****ting, and one for washing clothes. Don't mess that up. Good luck.
The EVO you wish you had
Why not show up with a bondsman and skip jail until the court date?
Pay it in full you get it all back if you show up to court.
Better do those taxes with turbotax. You'll get your refund in a week so you can pay those fines.
Take your Evo and disassemble it and smuggle it in your anus like some people do. You can also train a pigeon to drop it off in the yard.

So the site of a dude's hairy cornhole which you're about to go to town on is less offensive than some plaque on his teeth? There's a hefty amount of rationalization going on in jail.
