I work for a walmart grocery distribution center. my buddy got an iphone and another buddy had a tmo wing so i checked out both and like htc device better. i had been looking at the qwest mogul for awhile, so one day said screw it and got it, i was HOOKED instantly. And after countless searches for programs, themes, and stuff like that, i came across a video dash had on youtube and bam ended up here.

Re: What's Is Your Occupation ?
 

Well, i shouldnt really be writing anything in this thread cuz i dont really have what you can call a "JOB"...but i am a full time MOTHER/HOUSEWIFE and I DJ every once in a while..but its a hobby of mine so its not considered a job... :

I became a PPC junkie as soon as i registered on Wckediden and my first ppc was the Mogul....this was my first FORUM ever...and well in the beginning I would just come on here to download stuff...but then people started getting friendly and all so i started jumpin on here more often and well now im totaly addicted :)...

Re: What's Is Your Occupation ?
 

I am an account manager. Very generic title, but in a nutshell, I am the muscle for supermarket marketing/advertising depts. Junkie wise, I had been eying ppcs when the 6700 came out. Wasn't totally sold on it, but I kept an eye out. Once the Mogul came out, I pounced on it. A few months went by and sitting in front of my computer late one night....(not what you're thinking), I thought, "Man, there's gotta be more this phone can do!" So I started searching stuff for Mogul and came across D/\SH and one of his couple of Youtube videos, and here I am. Thank you.

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

I was working for Sears as the Recieving manager. One of the new guys that I hired had a Tilt when it had just come out. My contract was due and he talked me into getting a Mogul. Started to show me things I could do with the phone lol. From there found a video Dash had on Guitar Hero , been all over since that day!!!! :yahoo:

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

I'm a chief Op/ reverb specialist at Aleris Int. been laid off for a litle while due to low aluminum demand from GM so now I'm a domestic engineer. lol

got into ppc when I went to buy my girlfriend a blackberry for her birthday and liked the mogul a lot better. after that seen D/\SH on youtube and hooked ever since.

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

so you are the Solution Specialist driving all Sprint customers away?......lol j/k bro :toothy12:

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

The best way to described what I do is that I analyze alot of stuff....figure out what is going on where and what I can do about it....As for the PPC, well, I was watching TV and seeing all the neat phones (touch, diamond, LG's, etc etc etc). I knew that some phones could be flashed, but had to do alot of Google searcing...I have a bit of background using VB for developing PalmOS databases. I have been thinking about trying to develop my own launcher (all i have to do is figure out how to do it). I have some ideas for what I wold want, who knows? maybe someone else might also.....so in a few years, maybe I will have one! LOL

Re: What's Is Your Occupation ?
 

Im in school and i gotta ppc6700 off ebay and looked for downloads and came across Wckediden

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

Well Im an actor... out in NYC... basically non stop hustlin, maintaining that nyc lifestyle... my schedule and life got to the point where I need something more advance and functional than a basic clamsheel... did some research on tested out some phone till I eventually settled on touch, cuz of its professional capabilites, fnctionality cos effectivness and it was a cool phone.. started surfin to learn more about it, and i dont remeebr if I saw the videos, and found it browsin google or even through another forum... but however it happend.. it was meant to be, and today I proadly say... I am a Junkie!

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

My job is complicated. I'm told to say I am a SATCOM technician. Thats the best way to sum it up, but there is so much more to the job. Think any movie where you see the DoD communications room. Yep thats me.

I started with the Mogul. It came out right as I was about to go for the 6700. I googled a few sites and stumbled here. I havent left yet!

Re: What's Is Your Occupation ?
 

well i did work corporate for sprint running and looking over the receiving area for all new phones as well as doing beta testing. ( included the bad batch of original touch pros that we had to flash) (24,000 phones in one night!!) but that was a fun night between all of us and couldnt tell you how many red bulls, doritos, and pizzas we went through. ( bought 10 different stores out of their frozen pizzas hahaha) but now i work at metro health hospital as an security officer. do the basic restraints, calming of situations, 10-99's which are taking expired/dead bodies from the room down to the morgue and transferring from the bed to the gurney. i got into the smartphone/ppc game about 2 years ago now... i was searching the net and found my first forum on smartphones especially the WM2003 nextel i930 since thats the firsdt one i had. ( i know doesnt really count lmao) but anyways i was addicted and than found a very nice board in and loved the hacks, the styles, the professional skins, (i mean professional and mass amount of them to choose from) and many other things. thats where i met wcked and started asking him if i could post this or that up since it was consoderd to be warez..... not soon after that and my posting of applications onto the boards he asked if i wanted to be public uploader which i agreed upon. (3 days after joining :) ) than i went to mod a couple weeks later, and than to Admin later on after we got more of a feel for eachother. after some chatting with wcked (aka wcked) he offered me a chance i couldnt say no to. he said he had an extra license and since IDEN phones and modding them was dying down and pretty much done for he asked if i would like to be his partner in making a new site. I gladly accepted the offer (never expecting to have the tag i do next to my name) and got to work on the boards. never thought we would be this big and soooo fast but hell we are good like that... so basically without wcked i would be able to guarntee i would be an iphoner or basic phone person since without this place i wouldnt have strived to learn more about the devices and much much more. and the name of the site some may ask where that came from lmao..... well on puertotech it said information junkie so i thought why not Wckediden and keep with the team and that just pretty much stuck out more than any of the other ideas that we had so it stuck.... now that my novel is done being wrote i got to click that submit button to get this off to print so i dont bore you all anymore..... hahahaha

Cool Thread wcked

I'm an Assistant Manager for The Home Depot, and I started with my first touch screen was the Sony Ericsson P800, from there moved to the P900. One day I was looking for something better on ebay and came accross the IMATE PPC Phone Edition, fell in love with it! Especially since it was more of a business phone intergrated into a "palm pilot". I than got the Tmo Wing and I had already known about flashing roms, and in searching on youtube I came accross a video from Tigerz, and have been like a crack head with everyone on here, I have to atleast check it out twicw a day. Thanks guys you guys are the BEST!!!!

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

I'm a Paramedic for a private non-profit company in North Central Ohio. We do 911 emergency calls and facility transfers (hospital to hospital, nursing homes, regular homes for people with no other way of doing so). Been a medic for 3 years.

Yeah, I almost went to the iphone at first but thankfully I did some research. Being a huge sports fan I wanted something I could use my slingbox with, and I also had just discovered the $30 SERO plan right before they changed it (amazing). I did some searching and came across vids from Dash and Tigerz and decided on the Vogue, then went to the Mogul, and thanks to Wckediden moved on to a free Touch Pro. Love this site. This was my first forum and IMO is the best of any I now belong to.

Re: What's Is Your Occupation ?
 

lol..no problem i always wanted to know everyone occupation before being an addict..hahahahahaha and you know what dashy that i920 which was replaced with the i930 and then discontinued is still a hot item...lol

I am going to USF down here in Tampa, FL for mechanical engineering and minoring in computer science. I eventually wanna do weapons engineering. but as of right now i work at The Home Depot. Im the loader, but i also work in lumber, and tool rental.
I got into PPC's not too long ago. i went into Alltel and was looking at phones cause i was bored and came across the PPC6800, and knew i couldnt afford it. So i started looking around and obsessing about smartphones, and came across this site from DASH's youtube. I instantly fell in love. i like all the programming aspects, and the design things. And i too am learning more and more everyday...there are sometimes i wish i just had a simple phone again though. but i love it. Sorry for length!

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

I am a Sonic Drive-In manager working about 70-85 hours a week on average. I have always had an interest in technology and how it works. I started modding and building my own home PC's since at about the age of around 14. I remember when I first saw the PPC-6700 first was to come out with sprint and I nearly flipped. Saved up, got me one, and have been hooked ever since.

I heard about metro pcs being able to flash phones and came across a site that was selling the diamond for like $700 did some searching to find it cheaper and ended up coming across D/\sh's utube vid's signed up here got my tp and been a junkie ever since!

Re: Whats Is Your Occupation
 

I am currently in the military (USAF, to be more specific). I have been in a little over 19 years, and debating weather to retire next year and move on, or stay in due to this horrible economy. I am stationed in quiet Abilene TX, but was born and raised in NYC. I have been building computers since I was 15, and into all types of electronics. I had a Mogul, but then deployed, and when I came back, upgraded to the Touch Pro. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and taking advantage of what this site has to offer. You guys have saved me countless trips to the Sprint store already!
