so far, my phone hasn't turned into a brick (yet). i keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but not as much like the first two weeks. there was one time it rebooted itself, but that was when i was watching Rambo IV (right during the final firefight). maybe the electronics couldn't take that much testosterone. you wouldn't find the Rambo crowd sporting iPhones anyway.
i haven't really installed much in it, which is actually what you really do when you jailbreak the thing. no games, no handy apps, no nothing. maybe i just really wanted a phone. that works like an iPhone. at a cheaper price.
annoying stuff:
- how the hell do i turn off the autocomplete feature during texting? you have to remember to tap every suggested word to send it away if you don't need it. you won't believe the crazy suggestions it has for the Tagalog words i'm typing in.
- the aforementioned abrupt-exit during playback of some videos. which is kinda expected though since all am putting in is not-exactly legit MP4s. and by the way, the screen is still small!!! (yes, am holding on to my principles)
- no way to create separate photo albums? maybe that's a 3rd party app?
- some call drops, but could that be t-mobile instead of the phone?
the sweet:
+ knows that you are using the phone and when cheek is pressed against the screen, the touch feature is turned off.
+ i have my 8TUV key back
+ despite the screen limitations, i managed to watch a lot more movies here than in my DVD/Media player at home. i've been through a couple of Chris Rock shows, i laughed through The Darjeeling Limited, enjoyed Michael Clayton, updated myself up to 3 episodes of John Adams (that deserves its own post), replayed the Giants' marvelous SuperBowl season, and marveled at the awesomeness of Appleseed Ex Machina (imagine if i saw it on High Def).
if this works for at least a couple of years (the previous Nokia had turned in a service term of three), then it'll be a well-spent $250. still cheaper than similar ones they're hawking over at Radio Shack.
