It's us, swearing.

No shit, sherlock.
I have decided to join you all in the cult of twitter. Not sure how much I'll use it'll get, but there you go.

Welcome Wullie. I am downloading that mix you recommended 
Hrm. Looking through my twitter list of who I'm following, there are padlocks next to some of them and their updates appear not to be coming through. Can only assume these are people I have twit-o-fended
Or is 'twirritated' the word?

Am I one, Kalmar?
I have mine 'padlocked', but people who I have added and accepted should be able to see my posts, still.
If you can see my latest 'twit' it is about a certain type of building...

Phew!
WINDMILLS!
Yeah, the padlock just means that your updates can't be seen by just any Tom, Dick or Harry, just by the people you have added as 'friends' - it doesn't mean that they have locked you out - if you can see a post with a padlock next to it, you are one of the people added as a friend
Oh, so that's who theotherman is!

I need to get my phone to do Twitter. It's one of the reasons I want a JesusPhone.

I was a lot less keen on Twitter before I made my phone do it. It's not a coincidence than the iPhone has over a dozen Twitter clients. 
Does anyone know of one for the G1?

If it can connect to the Internet then it probably already has a Twitter client, although you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise if you read this forum. You can SMS tweets, too.

I have twidroid. Heh.
OK. Phone time. I want a decent HS(D)PA web device that's a decent phone. Options:
1) iPhone. Plus points are obvious. Minus - I'm really not sure I'm going to get on with a touchscreen device. I batter my phones - they spend their entire lives in my trouser pocket, when I'm not dropping them on the floor.
2) Nokia e63. Plus points - full keyboard without being massive. Minus points - it's Symbian.
3) G1. Plus points - full keyboard and touch screen too. Minus points - I've yet to see a nice HTC device.
Thoughts?

For nine months, I've carried my iPhone everywhere in my pocket, with no case. I've dropped it onto tiles or concrete half a dozen times. The back and corners are scuffed to fuck, but other than that and a tiny, tiny hairline scratch on the screen it's fine. Just get an iPhone. Or else.

Hmm - I meant to post that in the 'New Phone' thread. Still, fuck it, eh?

Mrs Grim... has had two. She's dropped them both, and they both broke. She's waiting for a replacement for it now
There is no point in getting a G1 or an iPhone right now as updates for both are coming soon (April for the G2 (HTC Magic) and June for the iPhone).

The "new iPhone in June" is nothing more than a rumour mind, and one based on very slim evidence at that. Although it is logical as Apple launched iPhone models in June/July of 2007 and 2008. Bah, I wrote all this up in that blog post, I should finish it. As has been said about three times in this thread already, the G2 isn't a direct replacement for the G1 as it doesn't have a keyboard (amongst other things). The new iPhone might be worth waiting for, but only if they increase the RAM, flash and camera. I assume v3 of the firmware will work on all previous iPhone interations.
Get the G1, then. It's cheaper and if all you want to use it for is Twitter, that's probably the best choice.

It's a rumour I believe, but you should make your own mind up before you spend/don't spend cash moneys.Quote:

Twitterfall is awesome -- here's "gmail" for example.
Favourite quote so far.

If gmail was down for three hours and used the time to come round and punch me in the dick, it would still be better than hotmail.
I have now added everyone on that front page listing. I now expect to get distracted by Twitter even more frequently as a result.
My phone has been going off every half an hour or so now I've added twitter to it.

I don't think I'd want my phone to beep when I received a tweet, even if the iPhone could do that, which it can't. I think it does a check every 30 mins and just makes a single tweet if there are fresh ones. In the notifications it tells me how many there are. Kinda cool for now.

That would simply be a recurring 30 minute beep for me. There would always be new ones! 
I thought I had better join the 'twitter' group
