My Mobile Phone
Some guys at work put a big order in on ebay for a bunch of phone junk. We bought it from everydaysource, one of the BIGGEST ebay sellers (like #2 in feed back or something crazy).
Everything was great with them, except their payment form (all the big guys use 3rd party shopping carts instead of just pay pal so you can combine easily), has a problem with Mozilla. I emailed them and they helped me out my taking off the insurance, which was supposed to be optional!In any event, one of the things I got was a new battery.
I put it on my phone when I got it to drain it before charging it fully. This was friday, its now sunday... the battery is totally full, and I've been messing with my phone all weekend.
Which brings me to - the Data cable. I got this as well and its been a royal pain!
I did get it working, and downloaded all my pictures and phonebook. I'm using BitPim - a suprisingly well written Python program that works cross platform. I had to hack together a little perl script to change the names of the picture files off of the phone.
But since yesterday morning, I've been trying to put a mp3 ringtone on my phone, and its been nothing but trouble. But I've learned a lot about the brew filesystem :)
