why would you want overpriced low tech junk? I thought you were better than that Baykore.

I agree with this only because you have to have Cingular to get it. speaking of overpriced junk.

Otherwise, pffffft Apple products aren't junk! Apple does no evil! Ever!!! ¬.¬

yeah...$500-600 for a phone that every feature (sans HDD) has been available on Windows Mobile phones for over 2 years, isn't a 3G device, won't integrate with 99% of business systems, and won't allow 3rd party apps isn't evil/junk.

The only thing this phone has going for it is a pretty interface. That'll only get them so far.

This device reminds me of the Newton and we all know how well that went.

the other thing its got going for it is the fact it doesn't use the windows mobile (CE?) platform. what a horrible piece of shit that os is.

I stand by my "Apple does no evil."

when was the last time you used WM5.0 for Pocket PC?

and have you even seen WM6.0?

Jim Jones sez "drink the magic kool-aid"

on a moto pdx(i think? little silver flip phone) 220. i used to for a few months and the os gave me nothing but trouble. to answer your question though, no haven't touched a windows mobile since then.

so you've never used WM 5.0 (the mpx is WM2003, which was crap).

yeah i guess that would be the case.

my opinion is a bit out dated.

as are most motorola devices.. i've got a nokia e62 and it runs symbian. loves it.

Caitlin,

I saw your post before you deleted it. Did you finally get the reference?

I just decided I wasn't going to play games with you.

I'm not playing a game. your "apple does no evil" comment is very Jonestown-eque. it's a joke.

him just wants him badge so him can get a new set of frames
:)

Maybe it was the last stop for people they didn't want. Stick them with the neurotic blonde. Maybe things will pick up when the iphone is launched.

They are hiring again for tech support. Maybe I won't get screwed over again. I find I say that a lot here.

Good luck Is it direct hire? I think you can't come back to Apple through Volt for 6 months.

I do not think it is direct hire. I did not leave Apple with any bad marks on my record, so I could come back. It was purely a bullshit experience the first time around. I think I did fine on the test at the study session, I guess it comes down to if they want me back. The people that were working at Dell were literally begging to be hired on, so I dunno.

C'est la vis in regards to contract work.

Learn to actually put in an application for an actual position. Don't rely on "I'm doing awesome" to get hired.

I agree. My resume is fine. I am a U.T. grad and the work I would be doing is fairly basic.

It is a shame we have to be pimped out by agencies like Volt. It is an embarrasment that our labor is leeched away by a middle man. Spherion, volt, they are all the same. Just out to fuck over the worker, kinda like legalized organized crime. Mafia style.

Whether or not you left on bad terms is irrelevant if the Volt contract with Apple still says you can't come back for six months unless you're directly hired on. You might want to look into it, it may have changed since I was a contractor.

Like I said, fuck the contractors. I stand on my own merit.

Yesssssss but you also said "I do not think it is direct hire."

Just checking. Thats all.
