hehe... definitely not me...
buzz
:!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
isnt it illegal to do that?
We should send a message to every bidder letting them know they can get it for free.
i contacted the people and i informed eBay.
That shmuck!!!
the XDA crew does so much and this guy belittles it!!!!!
DOS him
I cant see the guy making much money on this really .... Microsoft are very renowned to shut down sites who allow downloads etc of M$ stuff , so i bet he'll be done too.
Im actually suprised that this forum still remains with all the hype on 2005.
i really hope it doesnt though, this forum is great.
...coz we are Bill's beta testers....
good one bzzz
(its the truth)
maybe someone can buy it and upload it here :twisted: 8)
duh... that guy is even showing my boot screen there!!! and selling also other xdadev stuff...
i wish i had eBay login to write something there...
odd how many pictures of smartphone 2005 he shows as well :lol:
I don't think it's possible to send e-mail to ebay users, but someone should inform the highest bidder that it's for free over here! That 'll sabotage this **** trying to make money from someone else's work.
Maybe through the "member feedback" system?
Correction: it is possible to contact ebay members. Should I tell the highest bidder to come looking here first?
@buzz_lightyear
you should put a signature on your creatations from now on.......... or i will sell your SwitchIT program on eBay .... loool just kidding man
i already contected the members and ebay
DOS him!!
I just emailed the current high bidder too. This jerk should be allowed to get away with it. I told the guy the address to the thread that has all the info this guy is selling, CURRENTLY AT US$77!!!
well even though that charging others for somebody else's work and charging people for something they can get for free
is very very poor taste
then if we yell to loud there will be a storm of people wanting to download from this site
and asking questions in the forum if that version of 2005 could be installed on their old ipaq 3750 or something like that
so in the intrest of this forums bandwidth and ms not releasing a heard of lawyers on everybody
it's good in some ways that some people get their rom from other sources then this site
It's not the first time, someone is selling some XDA-Developers tool at ebay.
But normally the prices weren't as high as in this case....
I would say, a person who isn't able to search the internet and get those things for free, isn't clever enough to use the xda-developers tools... ;-)
Maybe we should ask ebay, if they could make an extra moneypart to spent to the xda-developers..... ;-)
Stefan
What gets me is that this guy is a member of this forum, reading this thread and shamlessly playing with his big balls.
WT? Sony makes comment "Nobody relly cares for Windows Phone"
What is Sony? And why would we care what a bleeding company says?
Oh right, they made good stuff 20 years ago.

LOL more like 30 years agao, the Walkman and the Watchman were it back then. LOL.
I am sorry but Sony is nobody. They are just hater who can't make a buck over the smartphone market-share.
I care.
My name isn't nobody.
Im happy because they do only crap phones. A friend of mine works at the 3 store in my town and there is alot of complains about the Xperia phones, they have bugs and laggs...
But serious stupid thing to say especially now when Nokias lumia series is doing so good in Europe..

In Europe people buy Nokia not WindowsPhone, so thats bad for MS. WP is not the selling point, but the Nokia brand instead. Sony is wack, their last good phone was SE K800.

Make that the K850, I loved the glow around the camera lens.
Anyway, its their loss. PS3 sales lower than Xbox 360, not to mention PSVita not really that successful and pocket-friendly. Xperia line is crap, too many bloatware. SEN, again, not really successful. So far all their efforts are poured directly to mobile and gaming tech, yet they cant seem to reach their goal.
But like they said, WHO CARES!
If they were to adopt WP, they would be as successful as Nokia, well at least HTC. Then again, too bad theyre poor now to buy WP licences... but WHO CARES! We have Nokia, a company that's so popular, everyone knows it.

Do you have some sales numbers I missed for nokia in eu ?
Sony who?, Sony really has not made a product that has made me stop and look since the ps3, they use to be a leader in high quality consume electronics but the quality has dropped steadily over the years. Take for instance there HIFI rang such as the sony multiki, on the other hand the ps3 was made from relatively expensive hardware that was way too hard to program for and as a result has not performed half as well as the pervious generations.
I don’t know what is about the experia brand but I simply don’t like any of the phones, perhaps it is my current perception of the Sony brand or the fact the sony GUI on android is horrible or that I don’t find any of the phones to aesthetically pleasing. Sony seems to be stuck in the 2004 bubble of industrial design where chrome and space age designs were in.
Either way the company is haemorrhaging money and either need to compete on price of differentiate them self again perhaps again as a high quality manufacture or going though the rout of windows phone.
Now thats funny
Sony are a disgrace, split from ericsson, trying to make a comeback.........hoping beyond hope that they are able to drag their sorry asses over the line.
Sorry Sony but i sure as hell wont be buying your mobile products even if you do go with WP as an OS, i'm sure that every other person from the Xperia X1 forums or indeed anyone who has owned an Xperia will agree whole heartedly. The build quality (abhorrent at best), customer service (refusal to believe even after thousands had posted proof, that their crappy chassis fail was a manufacturing issue) and general all round experience with Sony over the last few years has soured me from even contemplating as much.........set aside the complete shambles with the PS3 a while back and their fantastic apology gift of a couple of crappy platinum games.
You just want to release cheap garbage and overcharge massively for it.........SO HELL NO!!.......F*£K YOU SONY!!!
...........and back on point, Sony are not exaclty qualified on any level any more to pass comment. Since when were they suddenly "in touch with the people"
I'm a big fan of windows phone but let's be honest....what he said is not that wrong....up to now windows phone has made next to no impact on the smartphone user market.
MS has completely failed at marketing this awesome product....I love being different but if they don't kick the promotion up a notch, I'll be different with a product with no future...

I agree 100% with your first paragraph. If we go down the line everyone is going down in this thread, we are saying if we are not in a better position we cannot be critical. Just because Sony is not doing well does not mean what they are saying is wrong. Windows Phone sure would not fix Sony right now so it is not an option for them.
Now the second part. Did Google do a wonderful job marketing Android in the early stages? With the Phil Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg G1 ads? I do not believe they did. But they had a product that everyone else needed at the time. The rest was left up to the carriers and the oems.
While Sony isn't wrong in what they said (based on market share so far), its pretty irresponsible of them to say it publicly like that. Especially since it would benefit them to remain on good terms with MS in the computing and tablet arena.
If they ever need to start making Windows Phones in the future (assuming WP does well over time, and Android ect doesn't pan out long term) they are not going to have an upper hand at the negotiating table.
That being said, in the present, nobody really cares about Sony TV's, computers, Phones. The only thing they have going for them right now is the play station.

I agree. In life you should never burn your bridges. Apple said never again to nVidia and now they are right back there. Sony doing a Windows Phone with Xbox Live in it was always quite a bitter pill for them I would imagine. The first review of the Xperia S I read was not so kind about the build, but Sony is onto something with the look of it. Too many poor decisions by Sony. Nintendo is the king of mobile consoles and struggled to sell the initially priced 3DS outside of Japan. Sony follows suit with the more expensive than the entry level console handheld?

The fact: Sony doesn't make a buck with Microsoft...
They don't product any hardware that is designed for Microsoft Os.

You sure about that?
To all those who are saying "who cares"; Sony are still very relevant in the smartphone market.
Their Xperia lines are selling well in Asia, and latest figures show it has shipped/sold nearly 20m Android handsets worldwide; this is more units than all WP7 phone manufacturers put together.
Sony make nice looking and feeling hardware; the Xperia Ray is one of the nicest smart-phones I've ever played with, hardware wise (not sure about the OS), and having a desirable WP7 fashion phone would be a huge boost.

Shipped or Sold? Nokia shipped about over a million in a month of lumia launch, doesn't mean it sold them.

Shipped or Sold is one of my favorite points about wp7. There are no hard sales numbers, anywhere (please prove me wrong, someone).
Apple jumps up and down with X million iphones sold FIRST DAY ON SALE, and google shows X00,000 activations, per day.
Meanwhile, from microsoft, nothing.
The point is, microsoft has to prove that people do care... with sales numbers. Or maybe they don't. Apparently they do not yet...
Hello,
I was just watching the announcement that Sony made about HTC becoming an official PlayStation certified company. Sony seemed pretty, what's the word, promotive (if that's a word ) about HTC and the companies designs.
What were Sony thinking? I know it's true, but they basically just told the world the HTC One X is a BETTER phone than any of theirs.. check out the video here. Apparently their stocks actually fell after this announcement which is pretty damn interesting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNwiCZKK0cI
There are approximately 10 threads around this E3 announcement in the HTC One X forum already
They said open platform, so HTC may not be exclusive. HTC is just the first partner. But even if the only HTC will PlayStation, it's not really a bad move as long as they get shares out of the sale. I don't think that PS will be open like Android anytime soon.
Sony is great overall but in my opinion they suck in mobile market. Sony Ericsson never surpassed Nokia back in Symbian days. When they finally were even, Symbian just died. In Android market, their Xperia doesn't stand a chance against HTC and SS products. So they did the right thing, dumped Ericsson and looked for new partner. Whatever happens would still be better than being in the place where they are now.
I suspect Sony will make more money from game sales (their publishing side) than a few speculative lost hardware sales.
Sony still the best for their gaming consoles! love their exclusive games and damn i am happy to hear the news they are expanding it to others. cant wait to play some PS games on HTC!
Get me Uncharted & The Last of Us on my One X! One can dream aye?

Well they didn't exactly dump Ericsson, and I haven't heard anything about them looking for a new partner either? Sony buying Ericsson out was best for both parties, as I don't think Sony needed the expertise Ericsson have today.

im planning to get a in ear beats headphone. i was just wandering what is the actual difference between the ibeats and urbeats beside the controltalk and look??
what would u prefer??
Beats == Crap..
C5 == Win ... http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Headphones/Headphones/C5/overview.html
I own the P5s. Tears up Beats every day. http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Headphones/Headphones/P5/Overview.html

Same reason people in an Android forum take every opportunity they can to bash the iPhone and iPad; they have common sense and do their research before buying. People that buy name brands from chain stores like Best Buy and the Apple stores deserve every bit of criticism they get for their knee-jerk shopping sprees, because it is a well-known fact that those products are terrible and the consumers that buy them are being scammed.
Because there exists a credible headphone review site called Head-Fi that collectively knows universes more about headphones than a nobody like you. How about you try using Google and reading a review or two before you lash out at someone.

Now about the name brand thing you mention. Ok, for me and I can only talk about me. I am not going to spend money on something I cannot test for myself. I don't know, but you might have the finances to spend $100-$1000 on ten pairs of headphones online to try them out. Some people don't.
I understand that there are websites like the one you mention and are credible. I see them as people on the internet with opinions. It's under maint right now, but on this website you linked to.... Do these people that make these reviews have credentials that can be checked to make sure that they are a specialist in headphones? I am asking because I have never been there. What sounds good to one person might not sound the same to another. I'm not saying that I know anything about headphones, so I don't know where you got that from.
I didn't really lash out. I more so vented about the beats==crap thing. The iBeats that I own work great for me, sound great for me, and the quality is great for me.
You know what though whatever. It doesn't even matter. You win.

I think you miss the point the guy was making. The op asked a question about beats, why not just answer that instead of telling him beats suck? Any post anyone ever brings up beats people start saying they suck. Who cares? Unless the op is asking for an opinion on the beats vs other headphones, why say beats suck get some thing else? Just my opinion.

Using that logic the opposite can be said too. Beats are extremely popular in terms of sales. Must be a reason no?

They're popular because they're endorsed by Dre. That's it.
i enjoy my Ibeats, the sound quality is quite nice. I dont understand what people have against beats. They severed their partnership with Monster monthes ago.

Just because someone famous is endorsing them you think that's the sole reason people buy it like crazy? You do realize this isn't the first time in history a famous person is endorsing something. Ludacris and 50cent, just to name a couple, also endorse headphones but next to no one buys those.

OMG, there are some stupid people out there.
Reading app reviews and someone leaving one star reviews and saying this that or the other.
And you're like... "huh, this person obviously doesn't know what they're doing".
I just wanna cyber kick some people.
I wish Play.Google would let you respond to other peoples reviews.
Maybe to at least tell them wtf they're doing wrong.

Saw one in particular today on amazon giving a review on the bear motion case and giving it 1 star, when the person didn't even buy one.. Really bizarre..
But you're right some people just mindless.
Some Amazon reviews are downright silly.
Seen too many reviews , about an item they don't even own.
And why they didn't buy it,seriously.
