I've got a few guys that work under me that have experienced creaky and stubborn i860 hinges.

Don't jump to conclusions based on your phone. There have been some problems with the 860's hinge. I've seen them.

Oh, right. I forgot about your incredibly fantastical Nextel and its completely infallible network, phones, employees, etc... Do you realize how dumb you sound sometimes? You can't even hold a normal conversation because you're so far from rational it's ludicrous. Again, I've see the problem first hand, and I've also read online of problems with that particular handset's hinge. Doubt me at your peril.

Wait...

You tell nextel18 not to jump to conclusions based on his ONE phone. Yet there is obviously a widespread problem because you have seen *A* phone with a hinge issue. Oh I forgot you've read stuff online about it happening too. Heaven knows online rants have all the facts.

If you bothered to read our "conversation" at all, you'd have noticed the part where I mentioned three of my employees had problems with their i860 hinges. And when they asked me if I'd heard of other problems with this particular handset, I discovered more than a few people complaining about the very same problem on www.howardforums.com. I made no allusion to a "widespread problem"...just some ordinary people h...

You are so very right. ow could I have ever doubted you. Your exact words:

But wait... the question was about loose hinges. Not stubborn or creaky ones. So then.. that's a "few" typically defined as 2 or 3.

But... wait... I'm confused...

That's one person with NO problem.

A word of advise. If you believe anything that nextel18 says, then you are as rediculous as he is. He makes stuff up. Read some of the other posts he is in. You will see that these partners are most likely his imaginary friends. Also it is not likely that he himself has one. We'll say in this case he does. That is 2 people. Now if muchdrama has seen this and so have other people that muchdrama has talked to, then I tend to take that to mean that there could be a problem with it. It is after all spring loaded correct? I could be wrong on that one though. I have only seen one of those phones. I haven't read anything to think that muchdrama gives pepople a lot of bull. Nextel8 on the other hand... not the most reliable source. Read some of his ...

Ooo resorted to saying I'm incompetant and ignorant. How witty and descript. You admit it could be a fluke thing yet you rant as if it were gospel. Sorry if I put you on the defensive.

Telling me to take a long walk off a short pier how.. 8th grade of you. So sorry to have caused you to resort to such juvinile tactics.

It's "juvenile", and you were the one that decided to use your 8 year old cousin to teach me a lesson.

Don't get angry there because you didn't read it right, "Skippy".

I said next time I'll have my 8 yr old cousin explain it.

See that four letter word.. starts with n followed by an e then an x and finally a t/ If you have trouble figuring it out I do apologize I know I may be speaking to fast for you. Here's an easier way to find the word, it even starts the name of the phone carrier this discussion is within.

Thanks for again proving my point.

I neither asked for your opinion nor wanted it given freely...I simply made an observation about an issue I'd noticed. Nextel18 seems to have this utopian outlook about Nextel the carrier...it extends to them offering "perfect" service, having...

I'm very sorry you didn't want my opinion. Next time you don't want someone's opinion... don't post on a public forum.

Now you bring up Nextel18 and make a personal attack on him. Why? I only referanced Nextel18 since he stated he'd seen multiple phones and none had a problem.

As far as matching wits. That is very difficult to do with you, particularly since as soon as someone proves you wrong you change the topic. Further thener is no wit to match. But that's moer a personal attack and that is not what this is about.

Funnily this rolls back to my first comment that set you off. You can't see any opinion other than your own. Again your post more than proved my point. So thanks.

I'm sure you'll puff up and say something ...
