While I hate the idea of proprietary hardware builds, there's no defying the man had great vision and unequaled devotion.

J just bought a 1984 issue of Macworld with him on the cover for $600 last night. That magazine is going to be worth a lot.
He did do great things in the mobile world and if it weren't for him we would have many OS's. The question now is will Apple be good without him.
He is definitely an interesting and talented guy.

Yeah. The Magazine was the first issue ever of Macworld with Steve Jobs on the cover. I think he was 27 years old.

How Do You Afford so Many New Phones?

I've noticed a number of users on here that have seemed yo own many new smartphones in what seems like a short period of time. For example not singling out anyone specifically but some of you guys seem like you've had a G2, Droid X, Droid Incredible and finally an Evo. Okay maybe not every one of those but you get the idea.
So how do you afford to switch so frequently? I certainly don't make enough to switch/upgrade that often.

I did this also; kept trading things for money to get other things or trading one for another. Loved my rant but I wanted the EVO. Sold my iPod touch to get the funds. Now I can afford most things though.

Sprint will want it but they dont have the money, there is a group of private investors that have been lurking on the fringe. They have been designated the most likely outcome. Chinese and Russian firms have shown an interest but the Congress hurdles would be great.

QFE. I wonder why it tok this long though, I would've shot it down the moment they announced it.
i think apple should buy tmobile so they can give iphone users a true end to end experience. tmo could exclusively sell iphones, leave all the good android handsets to the other carriers. if all the big networks(ie att and vzw) saw a mass exodus of customers to go to a service provided by apple, prices would prolly go down across the board.

Are those prices also for used Epics?
Granted, the new ones are with a new contract discount, but they also come with the packaging, manual, and headphones... and there are a couple other things about his other thread that seem a little weird, which makes me kinda wonder - it might just be the way he presents it, but the presentation is what hooks potential buyers - guess I'm not one of them

100 is fair..as long as it's in good working condition it's not a bad deal.
I wouldn't go lower than that Gordon, if lowballers aren't willing to pay a Benjamin, don't you worry, the devs aren't cheap. If they need it, they'll buy it. Perhaps a member in need will buy it if not a dev. I bought mine for 230$ when it first came out off-contract, but there's still people with money to blow who I could sell it to for 250$ if I felt like it, so $100 is fair if you ask me. Some people love to be on the contrary, they love it, just ignore it. Lol.

I found an epic on Craigslist which messed up during an update (battery ran out). So now it only boots to recovery.It has a clean ESN and its only $50. I've been planning on switching back to the epic for a while, so I'm going to jump on it.
I'm going to Odin it when I meet him to check the esn.

I think all the devs that want this phone have it. I doubt any new developer would want an epic this late in the game. Maybe an existing developer would want a second one.

Probably because Apple doesn't see it as a "threat" to them the same way as they see other Android manufacturers.
Apple is sitting on an enormous pile of cash, so they've decided to see how many other manufacturer's phones they can knock off of mainstream store shelves. They're not worried about an obscure phone from China that isn't going to sell anywhere near as many units by comparison.
Funny phone though
