Gadget Geek..how Old Is Too Old?

[DJREN37]

I am 37 and just got the new sidekick 3 and read in a forum that these phones are geared to the 18-30 year olds. I also own a 30gig ipod video, and have a Pioneer inno for portable xm radio, an Escort 8500 x50 radar detector, and just bought a new navigation system for my rover. I feel 24 but act like im 13, maybe I'm too old, but i love these gadgets. What do you guys think? i wont get a sports car till I'm at least 60 lol.

How old is too old? Just ask Shoogarbear

[Mixability]

I'm 26 and I feel I'm too old for a sidekick.

[1Parker1]

In all seriousness though, you're not too old for those gadgets, 37 is nothing. I think it's just a "guy thing" to be into the latest tech stuff, not an "age thing." My brother-in-law is 37 and he has all those things you mentioned too (though he's currently working on my sister about the whole "Sports car" thing :lol)

:flipoff 26 is NOT old.

:lol

[ALVAREZ6]

Sidekicks are teh suck.




They are annoying, people try to show them off and they aren't that great. A phone is a fucking phone. All I need to do is call/talk to people, I don't need all that other bullshit.

And they're huge, must be annoying carrying them in your pocket.

[Marklar MM]

Man. You are not a tech geek until you turn your car into a James Bond car. But that's just me. :)

[Mixability]

:flipoff 26 is NOT old.

:lol

for a sidekick, it is. :lol

[ALVAREZ6]

he DID have to mention the nav system was in a rover.

[DJREN37]

I love my annoying sk3, maybe if you didn't stare then it wouldn't be showing off. A smartphone isn't just a phone, i can check sales on my website, read and send email, im with 3 different isp's and store up to 2 gigs of music on it.

[DJREN37]

alvarez get laid already, geez.

And I can do all that shit on any computer.

[DJREN37]

only a kid still notices showing off and mentioning their dick size. , i have a good job and can afford these gadgets, so get over it kid.

[DJREN37]

[ALVAREZ6]

Why you flippin out dude?




I was just messin with you... I can afford all that shit, at least my parents can, but that wasn't the point.


"so get over it kid"


I think you're the one that took it the wrong way.

[ALVAREZ6]

I'm sorry, I'll try not to hurt any more 37 year olds' feelings.

[DJREN37]

what kind of OS does it run? I'm looking to get one for my gf, she meets the age and gender requirements for a sidekick. :lol

I'm wondering if we can share attachments, since my MDA runs on Windows Mobile 5.0

[DJREN37]

My feelings aren't hurt, i don't feel a thing I'm to old, lol
My fingers are numb!

[DJREN37]

It doesn't run os, sux like that, but did i mention the ...jk

[ALVAREZ6]

:lmao

damn, you hit a nerve, huh?

[dougp]

SK3 runs a variant of the SymbianOS I believe ... but please don't compare a SK to a WMP/PDA, they're nothing alike ... the MDA/8125/Sprint Version are all NUTS compared to the SK3, and smaller. Gotta get one through work when my stupid AT&T wireless expires in November.

[DJREN37]

i actually prefer the ones with the moisturizer in em, but to expensive. i just blow nosw and tears on my shirt.

[DJREN37]

[dougp]

:wtf
Feature and expandability wise ...

[Mixability]

Feature and expandability wise ...

so the sidekick isnt much more than a fancy browser/text messaging device?

[dougp]

so the sidekick isnt much more than a fancy browser/text messaging device?
Pretty much ... they're more popular cause of the price versus a Treo/Smartphone.

[Mixability]

Pretty much ... they're more popular cause of the price versus a Treo/Smartphone.

Are they going for $300+?

That's not much less than the Treo 600 I had or the MDA I just got.

[Mixability]

You can't call yourself a REAL gadget geek unless you get the new iPod:

iPod flea (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qRt3Yaups1c&search=iPod%20flea)

[SpursWoman]

I have the T-mobile MDA, which is HUGE.... :fro


I have a Treo 650 and it seems pretty damn enormous compared to all of the little phones around ... especially with the case/clip I have on it.


What the hell is a sidekick? :lol

[SpursWoman]

alvarez get laid already, geez.


He's a minor ... you shouldn't be encouraging things like that. :lol :nope

the MDA is huge compared to regular phones....

just imagine your 650 with the antenna shaved off, that's the MDA.

getting used to the MDA coming from a Treo wasn't so bad, but then again I had the 600.

[dougp]

I've seen the MDA/8125, etc. all in person and it's smaller (length wise) than a sidekick and slightly fatter ...

Danyo, do you have the internet package from TMobile? Does it cover email? Cause I can get a MDA for like $200 but the package is $10 more than Sprints overall :\ And no nights/weekends at 7pm.

[DJREN37]

[ShoogarBear]

I just bought a Treo 700p three weeks ago.

:smokin

It is teh shit. (I'm probably too old to say that.)

[ShoogarBear]

How old is too old? Just ask Shoogarbear
Good thing about being old is your disposable income for gadets than when you're, say, 23 and working at a boooooring job that you hate. :fro

[PM5K]

I don't think it's so much that you ever get too old for gadgets, it's more that some gadgets aren't designed for people of a certain age...
