ORD. Who knew? Glad to put a name to the....uh, condition. :)

I already know I have ORD, glad I know what to call it.

I'm mobilemsseana.

First Windows Smartphone Device: Qualcomm 6700 from Qwest. I knew when I got it that there was more that it could do. So.....I flashed.

And flashed.

And flashed.

Didn't know about radios then, so my radio eventually choked and I couldn't make CALLS on the thing, but at least it was pretty, and reasonably fast, for everything else.

That was in 2000 or so.

Since then, I have never been without a WinMo smartphone, and each one I have gotten has come to my house, trembling, fearful for its life. And well they should be, for I approach them with the air of a Drill Sargeant:

Me: "Where did you come from, Phoney?"

Phone: "Um, Warehouse 16, sir....." (yes, they call me SIR)

Me: "Only two things come from Warehouse 16, son. Junk, and Punks! Which one are you? I don't see no parts falling off, so you must be a Punk!" (glare)

Phone: "No, SIR!"

================

anyway.

Then I got a Mogul. Actually, more than one. Because the Moguls I got were punks. All four of them. Because in all this madness, I knew: We can make them better. Stronger. Faster. We have the technology. And XDA. :)

==================

After that came the i760 for Verizon. THAT phone was close to......good. It didn't get flashed. I made it work.

=======================

But then......I got my own business going, and every piece of tech I owned became a writeoff. So I searched, and wonder of wonders on Ebay, I found: The Samsung i780 out of Malaysia.For an unbelievable price. And no one was watching.

Then I got TWO of them, and my husband, who does NOT have ORD, said this: "That was a sexy phone." Of course, being in an active ORD relapse, I took this as a compliment. ;) However, regrettably, I had to fire those phones: they weren't compatible with our biz software. I found them good homes and told their new owners to go easy on them.

=======================================

But then, oh, then, here comes my most shameful confession of all:

I used a BlackBerry. ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE, I SWEAR.

Yes, I admit it. (wipes streaming eyes) Confession is good for the soul......and I learned my lesson. I couldn't make the Blackberry better, and its one redeeming feature was push email.

===========================================

So, back to WinMo I came, determined not to fall away again, and determined to take what was given me and make it work. I made the monetary sacrifice again, and got a Palm Treo Pro. Which also wasn't flashable, but WAS tweakable, so I tweaked. And it was good. And I thought I'd be ok. Until the day...........

The Touch Pro 2 saw me coming, and its siren call snared me yet again.

==============================================

TP2 and I have been together for two years now. He didn't mind me flashing him, again and again and again. He knew I was only searching for a way to make him the best he could be. Enabler? Perfect partner? You decide. I'm happy. For now.

================================================

My name is mobilemsseana and I have ORD. And may I never recover. :cool:

That is all and thank you for listening.
