[POLL] Phone way too hard to handle when drunk?

Haha just for comic relief i wanted to start this thread :d
anyone else having huge problems with this phone when being drunk?
I accidently dropped the phone last thursday. I was in a club and my back cover flew off! Haha

I thought about this topic too, but I can't answer this question yet...
With my old D750 I was able to call any contact I wanted - at all time. Actually without dropping the phone or dial a wrong number
I don't know how, but I've managed it

You missed a few options:
"No, its just as hard to use SOBER never mind drunk!"
"Yes, but no harder than any other phone.".

Ah yes, i don't think there is a way to edit the poll though Are these options true for you? I think it's pretty easy when sober but my other phones were much easier when leaning against the wall of a bar and trying to text message with double vision lol

ahhahah when i'm really drunk i can't use my phone but i can't walk on my feet too

Just think, it's a new selling point>
X1 may save your relationship.. NO more embarrasing drunk calls!

hhahahaah

hehe, ever i not drunk now, still have chances to miss click with finger, lol

Well... maybe its better to not call when being drunk, so that you wont call people sleeping innocent at 4/5 in the morning.. i had that on my p990i the next morning i saw that i called 5 numers but that was much like 341426 and that number doesnt exists ..

i wouldnt risk damaging it lol...so i use my old w580i when i go out. But if i were drunk in the house with my x1 i'd probably say it was harder than some other phones simply cause of the touchscreen.

Maybe this is an idea for a new panel, one that is very easy to use when you are drunk and has taxis and kebab shops on speed dial, lol

Nice thread
I find the phone fine on most occasions, but like someone said a while back, never buy this phone for your girlfriend/mother/grandmother (unless they're relatively geeky and have a bit more patience than your average, erm, trying not to dig myself a hole here, but you get what I mean).
It's not the most intuitive phone to use, but when setup properly with a nice GUI it can be easier to use. It's just that with basic WM you have to be quite accurate with the stylus/finger. And as we all know, accuracy goes out of the window when you're drunk...

Hehe, i would pay for that

Convince me to get a G1

I have the option from T-Mobile to get the G1 for $150. This is to replace my HTC Wizard that I currently have.
Here's my questions.
#1 Are there working N64, PSX, Gensis, SNES, and Nes emulators on this?
#2 Is the App Store required to install software on the phone?
#3 How's the port of Quake 3, 2, 1 on it?
#4 What's the coolest thing you've seen it do?

For #1 & #4 Look at this webpage. I can't live without navigation, this phone just makes it easier
#2 No, you can do it through SDcard or USB. Most of them will have the market(app store) on pre installed though.
#3 Quake 1 has been released, very playable.

And regarding the coolness factor:
I just got it managed to install debian with bluediving and metasploit on it.
Now I have a portable BT-sniffing-and-hacking-machine.
At least imho this is quite nice

LOL, I love these kind of threads. With questions like these do they really expect a real answer. We shouldn't have to convince anybody to get a phone. Just knowing what the phone is about should be good enough.
PLEASE BUY A G1 SO I CAN GET A GOODNIGHT SLEEP

He probley is always on HowardForums.... Go look at the threads there thats all they talk about... convince me to do this or that.

Hey, remember that "Text Hypnosis" game? This is where you read a statement and then cannot help but be affected by it. For example:
*You are now aware of how large your tongue is in your mouth*
or
*You are now blinking manually*
I wonder if it works here:
*You now have a strong urge to buy a G1*

Haha, just as I read your post the new iPhone ad came on "This is the new iPhone. It can do some pretty amazing things, like copy and paste!" My God!
Yeah they are everywhere, everyone has one, I don't want a phone that everyone else has...

No idea why so many people are angry. I'm not here to make fun of the G1.
The phone to me is superior to the iPhone. Apple has too much control of the app store. So much so that it caused this very person to fire bullets at his 3GS. Not to forget that this phone has a qwerty keyboard and some external buttons.
My concern is over software. I've seen a video of Quake 1 running on it very slowly, and I can't seem to find any ports of N64, PSX, Quake 2/3. I've heard that some people say it's because code is written as Java?
The price is also right. I just don't wanna go buy the phone and find out 1 year later a G2 is released, when the above mentioned applications are finally written and running full speed.

If you were thinking anout getting N1.. DO IT!

I just switched from touch pro 2 and let me tell you... There is no comparison. I had TP2 for a year and almost everytime I had to do something fast, look something up or do somehing more complicated than calling - it would fail me. It led to a constant feeling of doubt and being unsure if it will just freeze when I need it the most.
N1 is freaking fast. Everything on it JUST WORKS. There is no guessing, like on TP2 - "omg I hope this launches.. I hope I don't have to soft reset.." - everything is integrated, every transition happens in a snap, every task you throw at it is handled immediatly and with style. It's a reliable life partner.
If you are undecided like I was a week ago about switching to N1, do it - you'll wish u've done it sooner.
Android FTW.

It looks almost black & blue already.

Its far better than the TP2 but it reboots by itself alot. I don't know why. I do understand you, coming form that phone also. But its not perfect yet.

My n1 never random reboots.....Ever since JIT got throw out the window, no reboots....I had almost 12 days uptime once....

Yes, I was pretty undecided up until now. I have a SE X1 and really, I know what you're talking about when you mention "doubt". I just hate the thing and WM makes it a nightmare. When I got my X1 I was thinking of keeping the phone for a long time, I wasn't expecting a $900 phone to turn out to be complete crap both hardware wise (flimsy, crappy keyboard, crappy paint, etc.) and software wise (WM!!!). Hopefully, I can use the N1 for a longer time with the updates and all...
I guess I'll be getting it now for sure, the only thing left to decide is whether or not it's worth it to wait the extra time to have it engraved...ha!

Actually I ordered mine engraved and it shipped the same day. Suppose to be delivered today .

I also came from a TP2 and I don't miss it or windows mobile at all. The laggy feel to if it was on for a day with no soft reset. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who made the switch.

And to fill that final need.......
go and download dildroid just google it. Now your phone can handle anything, no really, I mean anything!

Dude, be VERY careful about the engraving.
Read the warranty policy - if you engrave it, it becomes a non-refundable phone that can only be sent in for repairs, if needed. Also, think if you'll want to sell it in a year or two.. nobody wants your "My name is John and I have a 12" tool" engraving.
Not that it's a bad service, just make sure you consider that.

Nah I was thinking something like:

Or something that would make the "wife" happy. I have to be careful what I engrave otherwise I'll get the cold treatment XD.
Oh well

I'm thinking that if I do want some "engraving" on it, I could get away with a transparent acid-sticker of a sort.. at least that I can remove and sell/return if need arises.
Although only death can separate me form my N1 at this point.

If Adobe would hurry and release the fully gpu accelerated flash player for this phone, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Seriously! The ipad / iphone guys are crying so hard about wanting html 5 everywhere because they're not allowed to have flash.. I worry that Adobe's missed the boat on this one.
Not a single developer leaking the gpu flash 10 player for android either..

Swype might already be obsolete

Have you seen BlindType? I think I need it!!!

Watch the whole video. It will blow your mind.

WANT!!!!!!!!!

wow that is crazy... not sure what I think of it so far, the keyboard thing is interesting and I'd love to play with it.
got to say the keyboard that I really like is skiftkey it monitors how you type and predicts your next word. I keep switching between swype that swiftkey.

Ahh, no thanks. It's always good to have options and competition, but I could never use that keyboard.

So far ShapeWriter seems fastest for me. I wish it had better prediction though.

Wow, how did they do that, lmao.

not bad. I still like swype better =)

The phrase invisible keyboard sounds really cool until you take a second and realize how silly it actually is. Additionally what if I meant to write tao and it thinks I must surely have meant tap or rap or yap, or maybe I meant tso as in the general's chicken or tsp like the measure. As far as I can tell this new system is nothing more than unmitigated sillyness.
Magicked from my Vibrant by tube traversing XDA elves.

this looks like a good concept but i dont think id like it for real world use for same reasons as posted above. I still love swipe not sure id want to change

This has alot of potential, ill give it a try when its released.

I could see it being good in the way of texting by muscle memory. I think it would keep the ppl who feel they NEED to text while driving more focused on the road.

Looks like Google liked BlindType too. They liked it so much they bought the company:

Haha I was just about to point this out. Looks like we might be seeing and hearing more about this now. I saw that demo video a while ago and totally forgot about it till today. Seems cool but I do agree it is a bit "gimmicky"

SwiftKey implements this right now, probably in a more efficient manner.

Blind type has be bought by Google I bet it is going to take a while before we see it. Google will leverage this for all they can.......... but IT IS Awesome !!

I just don't understand the want for this. I have used every single iPhone and haven't seen any progress with the crappyness of the OS. I can't imagine why anyone would even want to use this. Even completey stock,unthemed android looks so much better than this. It's whatever though, everybody has their own preferences as completely mind blowing as they are. I'm also a little biased because I can't stand anything that is made by Apple. I would rather have no technology at all than to use any product made by Apple.

Deep breath in and out there Fangoria. Wow I have seen some ignorance in here but remember, NOT ALL OF US LIKE THE SAME THINGS. Iphone has its good points and android has better points(In my opinion). Why you so quick to bash someone today? You need some Midol. We all are different and like different stuff click the back arrow and go on to something else if you don't like this thread.

Someone should definitely do this. I'm willing to bet a lot of people would use it (someone in that thread even said they would donate to get it on the evo), and there's nothing like it in the forums. (no, MIUI is not like this)

Can you not read? I wasn't trolling anybody. I clearly stated that EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION. I did not insult his intelligence for having such opinions nor did I call him any name for any reason. Use your brain before your fingers touch the keyboard. As for everyone else that's getting butthurt. It's the internet and I did not troll,insult or do anything of the sort to anybody in this thread. Stop taking things so seriously. Like I said it's the INTERNET.
