well google has the nexus series of phones, kinda called Google Phones cause it is made to google's specs. the first one was made by HTC. the second by Samsung. It's a phone that has zero skinning or alterations of the Android OS by the carrier. Samsung is releasing the next one also, the Nexus Prime

It's a shame their 4G is just barely over have the speeds of T-Mobiles 4G speeds. When they finally hit the speeds of tmobile what will Apple be calling it? 7G?

Wireless speed ratings are all marketing nonsense IMHO.
I could be getting 5Mbits a sec, then go down the road 500 feet and get 1MBit a sec.
My AT&T iPhone 4 is faster in my area than my friends T-Mobile 4G phones or Verizon iPhones.
I like to know the specs of my phone, but real world performance usually doesn't match the rated speeds, by a wide margin.

Was so ready to upgrade from my 3gs if they announced the 5. Then they didnt and now I dont know if I should hold out and hope one comes out summer or just get this, or look elsewhere.

What's so disappointing about this one? I mean, technically speaking, it's a significant hardware upgrade from the 4. You don't like that it's not called the iPhone 5 or is it something else?
I'd say that as far as iPhones go, it's a logical step. If you want an iPhone and are willing to resign with a carrier for a new contract, I don't see much reason to wait until next year.

Here is a little known secret: I dont know what the fuck to do with it actually. Ive learned how to send a text, make and take calls, and turn on the camera, and load angry birds.
Other than that Puddin, I dont know anything else what to do with it and what not. Completely lost in the sauce. Gods honest truth. I see all kinds of apps but I dont mess with them. I guess its the caveman in me and you can feel vindicated, lol.
I am open to advice / education about these things.

Introducing Siri: DARPAs Ghost in Apples Machine
[....][videos of Apples history]
Apples SiRI phone. whats in a name?
Look closely at the name: Siri. What letters stand out?
See it yet?
S i R I.
SRI = Stanford Research Institute.
It turns out that Apples Siri used to be SRIs Siri, and SRIs Siri is Are you ready? A spinoff of DARPAs PAL (Perceptive Assistant that Learns) program, which SRI called CALO (Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes).
Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes
SRI International is leading the development of new software that could revolutionize how computers support decision-makers.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), under its Perceptive Assistant that Learns (PAL) program, has awarded SRI the first two phases of a five-year contract to develop an enduring personalized cognitive assistant. DARPA expects the PAL program to generate innovative ideas that result in new science, new and fundamental approaches to current problems, and new algorithms and tools, and to yield new technology of significant value to the military.
SRI has dubbed its new project CALO, for Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes. The name was inspired by the Latin word "calonis", which means "soldiers servant". The goal of the project is to create cognitive software systems, that is, systems that can reason, learn from experience, be told what to do, explain what they are doing, reflect on their experience, and respond robustly to surprise.
The software, which will learn by interacting with and being advised by its users, will handle a broad range of interrelated decision-making tasks that have in the past been resistant to automation. It will have the capability to engage in and lead routine tasks, and to assist when the unexpected happens. To focus the research on real problems and to ensure the software meets requirements such as privacy, security, and trust, the CALO project researchers will themselves use the technology during its development.
SRI is leading the multidisciplinary CALO project team, and, beyond participating in the research program, is also responsible for overall project direction and management and the development of prototypes.
The project is bringing together leading computer scientists and researchers in artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, knowledge representation, human-computer interaction, flexible planning, and behavioral studies at 22 organizations:
Shadowy government project spins off Siri to help direct your affairs
October 13, 2008
Conspiracy theorists will love this one: A computerized assistant that can help you manage your day to day life, built atop an artificial intelligence platform developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the United States internal military research group. Siri, the startup building the assistant, is today announcing $8.5 million in venture funding.
As befits its spookish origins, Siri isnt saying a great deal yet about what it will do. Co-founder Dag Kittlaus, who licensed technology from DARPAs CALO (Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes) project, calls it a smarter, more personal interaction paradigm for the Internet. Unfortunately, thats about as specific as calling Google a thing that finds stuff. Those who want a sneak peek at Siri will instead have to look to CALO.
So heres what we know about CALO: Its a concerted effort to take the first real step toward artificial intelligence, with five years of work and $200 million in funding to date. Rather than being immediately useful, it learns about the user over time, much like a real personal assistant would. As it learns, it becomes capable of making logical associations and initiating its own actions.
[.....]
People are going to pay a lot of money to have their asses tracked to within a couple of meters by a device running a civilian version of DARPAs soldiers servant software.
The most disturbing aspect of this is not what the iPhone 4s is going to be phoning home to Apple (which is unknown), or the invasion of The Complex into most aspects of our lives, but the fact that, in general, people would think that you were nuts for having these reservations at all. I mean, what could possibly be wrong with re-purposed DoD AI software running on a mass market consumer device that persistently reveals the users location to the state?
Ah well, give em what they want.

you'll pick that shit up fast, you are a smart dude.
just think of pc apps, just on a smaller scale. you can get all kinds of utility apps from planners to calendars, document editors, picture editors. widgets that can update your favorite news sources. i have a great alarm clock app called Gentle Alarm, very customizable.
i lost my phone last night or i'd type a list of what i have installed.
certain apps i use all the time include a brightness control widget, weatherbug elite, a twitter app called plume, facebook app, springpad (a note taking app + more), a voice recorder app, a calendar widget, google voice widget, folder organizer (let's you label and categorize apps to organize them), extended controls widget (easy access to control all the phones features from gps to wifi)

Hey Sizzle chest, don't be upset because the guy who sold it to you is still laughing that he got a wanna be Jarhead to buy a girls phone.
