    Very Nice collection DaHarder, or did you fail to notice the embossed watermark clearly indicating that this collection of wares was mine, or that a number of the devices pictured are displaying posts that were submitted by DaHarder.



    You're really just embarrassing yourself at this point... as usual, especially that 'edit' after the fact



    Have A Nice Day



    In other news, I'm really looking forward to trying out this DELL Streak...

    Oh, man, you got us there. That definitely proves it. Watermarks can't be faked.

    I agree that headsets are likely. I hate holding my iPhone to me ear.



    I only buy in-ear phones. The pair I have now are Klipsch S4i. The feel nice, they fit nice, the rubber in-ear buds don’t pop off like they do on the iPhone in-ear phones. The control is slim line compared to other brands and works with all the current iPhone controls. The base and richness of sound is a little better than the iPhone in-ear buds, but for the money I’d rather go with Apple’s offering. The 3.5mm end has come lose in 6 months from the cable requiring me to super glue it, but worst of all is the length of the cable. it’s an extra foot or so longer than the Apple in-ear phones I had before and it gets in the way.



    I’m not sure I want to spend more than a $100 on phones, but if someone can make a good case for a brand and/or model I may drop the hammer on some.



    I also have a Jawbone 2, but I rarely use it. Only pull it out when i am planning on making a fairly long call, which is rare.

    I've become so accustomed to using BT headsets (some so small as to barely be noticeable) that holding a phone up to my ear no longer feels comfortable.



    Personally, given the number of drivers I see holding phones to their ears rather than paying attention to the act of driving, I wish more people would use BT headsets

    My image clearly says SOLIPSISM so that proves they are mine.

    Your shtick is so old/tired/ineffective at this point that all I see when I read your posts is

    From my PoV I’m the only one that is known to exist, hence my screen name.

    Well, you really can't be certain that you exist either.

    The headline of the article you are commenting on makes clear it is a phone. The first sentence of the article says it is a smartphone.

    That is the only thing a solipsist knows to be true. It?s everything else that is subjective.

    For the benefit of yet another naysayer who chooses to question my integrity, i'll humor you:







    pictured (left to right) are some of my current touchscreen/slate devices: Creative zii egg/32gb, sony p-series (touch-screen modified), lenovo s10-3t, archos 5it/32gb, apple ipad 64gb/wifi+3g, and ipod touch 64gb.



    note: The prominent display of the very page you're reading at this moment.



    I'd venture this clears up this little matter for you.

    How do you miss the part that says it?s also a tablet. The Dell Streak is a confused device from a woefully confused company.



    Sometimes it works to converge devices, but you do this by adding the pros of each device type and avoid the their cons. This tends to require an evolution of technology. This device seems to converge the worst parts of a tablet and a phone.

    The Answer Is A resounding - NO! -



    I'd really like to know where in the quoted post did I mention anything about the iPad... \



    Hint: I Didn't... Not Once.



    Additionally: As an 'alleged' owner of an Archos 5IT, you should be well aware that the 5IT features a 4.8inch (diagonal) display, and as my post clearly stated, "there are numerous benefits to a larger (but still pocket-friendly) slate device."... and unless you live in some kind of inverse-reality, the Archos 5IT is in no, way, shape, or form larger than the Apple iPad.

    But it is a RETINA display. It is the same as your eye. That is why it looks as good as humanly possible, given the way your eye is constructed. If it were any better, it would be impossible to even see the improvements, because it already is as good as the eye is able to see.

    At the risk of sounded trite, I think, therefore I am. I know I exist, It?s everything outside of a base existence that is assumed.

    Regs, Jarkko





    There are thousands of people paid by all the big tech companies to go to forums and post there. It is a fast-growing industry, and some people make huge amounts of money doing it.



    It is a well-known fact. We have had many of them right here, but people always figure it out. Da Harder has now been busted.
