xda-developers.com not in Wikipedia!

I noticed that xda-developers.com is not listed in Wikipedia, and I think it should be!
I would love to know more of the history of this site: the founding fathers, the timeframe, the thought and planning that went into it.
Who knows all this, who could write about it?

web archive shows the old site; saw one with the second pic that works
http://web.archive.org/web/20031229083505/http://xda-developers.com/
Quality pic. Enthusiasts, wires, hardware, redbull. What more do you need?

Is it just me or does anyone else think that picture should have a thought bubble above the guy with the long hair saying " you mention nokia one more time and im going to stab you in the eye with this soldering iron"

feels great to know the history of xda-developers.
never had this info. thanks mate

Linux phones to WM6

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to change the OS on a Linux phones to WM6.
Specifically I am wondering what will it take to change the OS on a phone like this to WM6.
I think the hardware should be the same, boot loader can be modified since people do dual boots, and it would be very nice to have a small touchscreen phone like this with Windows Mobile 6.
I don't think anything like it even exists on the market. And I think that people would be willing to spend a lot of money on this kind of phone.
What do you guys think?

This phone below costs $105 shipped:

Chuckled when I saw this. Gee, wonder why they're such a great deal?
The Rhodium section of xda is not the best place to grab sales for the Fuze, but I bet there are tons of people who haven't heard of the TP2 who are going to be kicking themselves in a couple of weeks.

I'm not so sure the ads are clever enough to know that the Rhodium is more advanced than the Fuze and as such might not appeal.
Glad you found it amusing though!

funny, i deactivated all ads,
but the only thing i can´t deactivate ist the
T-Mobile iphone 3 s flash-ad, so all i see the whole day is
iphone - iphone - iphone

Yaay for AddArt!

Falldown for Windows Mobile

A long time ago...
There was a game called "Falldown". It was mostly known from MirageOS on some popular Texas Instruments callculators. There's also a remake for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Basically, it's a really simple -but fun- game.
Description:
Fall down through the holes and avoid getting squished at the top. Score points by staying alive as long as possible.

Amusing comic. Tycho's post smacks of someone that hasn't had more than a brief flirtation with Windows Phone, but Gabe's echos my own sentiment; I don't give a crap if your app marketplace/store is massive if your phone is ****.
