In that case, the latter part of my post is still relevant. I had one of these:
...and I still type faster with swype than I ever could with that.
It's about what you want/need.
I want buttons and power.
You want touchscreen and power.
Same thing.
You started this by spewing anti-touchscreen friendry. Don't play it off like you didn't.

You'll see what I mean
Really? Wow. Such hypocrisy....
I'm not saying you should downgrade, now that you spent all that money.
I'm saying that usually all smartphones are overpriced and overhyped.
With the exception of the IPhone/Itouch, those are quite good deals and they have apps/games and a lot of usefull tools.
Also, since when do I use an iphone? Do you even know what swype is? Did you even bother to google it?

ITT: XRobo continues to be butthurt over people having nice phones.
Oh, how many millions of people use touchscreens daily? Surely if there were a problem, it wouldn't be so popular and widely accepted.

Who posted first? :P And of course... the first post was a negative one.
Typical.

Yeah because I totally haven't already explained this.

« on: May 16, 2010, 05:06:08 PM »Technically it isn't space until you are outside Earth's gravitational field.
Sorry guys, It's not legit.
Ignorant statement. Unless you enter the gravitational field of another mass, you'll always be effected by Earth's gravity. Even astronauts in orbit weigh 90% of their Earth weight. An astronaut that weighs 180lbs on Earth would weight 161.6lbs in orbit (at 220 miles up). They are weightless, but it's due to a constant state of falling towards earth in a path that stays equidistant from the earth. That's orbit.
Why do you think the Moon stays in orbit?
Leaving Earth's gravitational field?
lol

Which is due to the entry speed. In order to remain in orbit, shuttle maintain a speed of about 17,000mph. Meteors can be much faster or much slower, but the speed is still intense.

Meteors and re-entering spacecraft burn because of their insane entry speed.

On August 16, 1960, equipped with a pressurized suit, Joseph Kittinger rode a helium balloon to a height of 102,800 feet and jumped.
After two jumps from 76,400 feet and 74,700 feet, he made him final jump and was in free fall for four minutes and 36 seconds. He reached 614 mph (988 km/h or 274 m/s)... 9/10 the speed of sound.
To get an idea of the height, the temperature where he jumped was minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 70 degrees Celsius). He jumped from nearly twenty miles up and opened his parachute at 18,000 feet. Most skydivers jump from around 10,000 feet. The air was so thin that he had no sensation of falling. He had to look back at the receding balloon to tell he was descending.
This is a photo taken from approximately 100,000 feet.
While it's technically not "space", the sky is totally black and there's almost no air.
Lastly, here is the video taken from his jump. It's definitely worth watching
