First Annual S60 Hofo Awards!

1.) Most helpful S60 Hofo'er: I have to say Rcadden. When he does answer questions, his answers are detailed and he does an awesome job of answering them.

2.) Friendliest s60 Hofo'er: That's impossible to say for me. Dozens of members have their moments where they can be very very friendly to those in need, myself included, though no one member has really stood out to be called the friendliest overall.

3.) Biggest S60 Post-Whore: That's pretty tough. Angel_wing may have a bunch of posts, but thay've been accumulated over a longer period of time. Recently, his post accumulation haven't been that bad. I would actually put Greenteeth up there next to Angel_wing. I remember comparing my post count to his and I remember watching him BLAZE past me from August to now. Though, his posts weren't just short one word answers like Angel_wing's, so I think Angel_wing still wins.

4.) Most Helpful Develepor Member: JonnyCat, done. JonnyChat revolutionized IM on s60 when Agile decided to start charging.

5.) Most Interesting S60 Blog From a Member: I REALLY like symbian-guru.com, courtesy of Rcadden. I like the subjective viewpoint rather than straight news about my favorite topic. If not Rcadden for symbian-guru.com, then I'd nominate the member who has the s60 applications blog, zeze, http://news.mobile9.com/s60apps/. I really enjoy reading his reviews on applications because they're so diverse from the typical s60 blogs that report tons of news.

6.) Most Schizophrenic Phone Owner: With my jumping back and forth between the 6260, 3390, and 6010 every other day for the past couple weeks, I'd say myself also, but that's only because I'm not really familiar with the phone habits of others. As an alternative to a self-plug, I'd say loveanh because of the sporadic N91 purchase that only lasted about a week.

7.) Biggest Early Adopter Member: Me, I guess? Nominating myself is stupid though. For the record, I bought the N70 back in May of '06 for over $500, the N80 in June for $630, the E70 in July for $640, the N73 in August for over $600, and the E70-2 for around $550 (even if I did sell it right after).

8.) Biggest Newbie of the Year: Another tough call. Roncito, maybe, but he has been MIA for a while. Recently, I'd say ca3 or bugmeman, who both probably have more threads started in the past month than I have in my whole three years here. A lot of Blue13x's and sweetmisery's posts were pretty newbalicious too.

9.) Funniest S60 Hofo'er: Greenteeth. I've laughed at more of his posts than any other member here.

10.) Most likely to own the e90 First: Angel_wing will GET it first, but that doesn't count. I have a feeling Greenteeth will grab his N95 and find a way to sell it and afford the E90 when it comes out. Just a hunch.

*11.) Best reviewer: NOT JP. Remember his N73 review? Boo. Great E65 review though, though I sense a bit of bias that omits the faults of the device. Rcadden's N75 mini-review was AMAZING in the 24 hour time frame (or less) that it took him to write it up.

*12.) Biggest @sshole: C'mon, skagen! DPsci is right behind him though.
 
I mean its so obvious that its intended for me ...oh well

Anyhow its my turn now

1.) Most helpful S60 Hofo'er: Hard to decide, but I would have to say rcadden and KK.

2.) Friendliest s60 Hofo'er: Greenteeth, without a doubt.

3.) Biggest S60 Post-Whore: Myself obviously

4.) Most Helpful Develepor Member: -BLANK-

5.) Most Interesting S60 Blog From a Member: Darla

6.) Most Schizophrenic Phone Owner: carsmovies for sure.

7.) Biggest Early Adopter Member: Myself and yes prototypes do count

8.) Biggest Newbie of the Year: -BLANK-

9.) Funniest S60 Hofo'er: Greenteeth/gwapz

10.) Most likely to own the e90 First: Greenteeth

NEW ONE!
11.) Most likely to own the N95 First: Darla/Me :
 
Wow, friendliest Hofo'r... that rocks!!!! I'm not worthy. Lol, I like it when Olly isn't doing his work. So many other productive non-work stuff gets done!!

Congrats to all the winners!!!!
 
After watching you allow your son to "touch" your N95 there is no doubt you are the friendliest hofer.....perhaps the friendliest person on the planet. My 3yr old (minidiva ) blew up my 7610 a few years ago so she's only allowed to touch dummy phones............and motorolas

btw: Your son is cute as hell and I can appreciate his interest in your gadgets!
 
1.) Most helpful S60 Hofo'er
It's a toss up like I said but I think Rcadden takes this one for post frequency. Strong runner ups and equally as informative are Olly and Jonny Bruha

2.) Friendliest s60 Hofo'er
This is a tough one as most of the S60 community is very friendly. I'll toss a bone Angels way and nominate the post whore himself.....angel_wing0

3.) Biggest S60 Post-Whore
I'm going to go out on a limb on this one and vote...............angel_wing0

4.) Most Helpful Develepor Member
Jonnycat as i'm unaware of any other developers here on hofo. Perhaps if Hugo was a member it would be different but of course, no sign of FE might keep him out anyway.

5.) Most Interesting S60 Blog From a Member
This is yet another tough one. I've been following Darlas since the days of the 3650 but more recently i've been a big fan of Symbian-Guru! Both are tabbed and read daily but again I think nominating the one I read most is fair and also considering the frequency of Rcaddens visits to the S60 forums puts him at the forefront. Rcadden @ Symbian-Guru.com gets my vote! ....also, AAS and Ringnokia are great sites as well but Stephan and Rafe rarely post here on hofo so they too would be out of the running imo.

6.) Most Schizophrenic Phone Owner (who do you think has owned the most phones in the last year or so!?!)
While leaving myself out of this running is tough as i've purchased an E62, E50, N80ie, E61, N73, E61 (firstone), N70, BB Pearl, Treo650, SE S710a, MotoSLvr(as a back up people.......a back up ) Nokia 6651, and 2 Nokia 770s for good measure all within the Calendar year. That being said and because I cant really vote for myself I have to vote Rapolu as Schizo of the year! He's been blasting through handsets at a feverish rate for the past few months....also Loveanh has been running at a close 2nd.

7.) Biggest Early Adopter Member (Who owns the newest phones first?!?)
I know Rcadden left out proto testers but it's tough to leave angel off of this list as the latest and greatest seem to flock to him. angel_wing0 gets my vote.

8.) Biggest Newbie of the Year
Skagen takes the cake on this one and I think JonnyBruha may back me up! He's a saucy Brit who has a serious love/hate relationship with S60.

9.) Funniest S60 Hofo'er
I'm throwing a wrench in this category and nominating Mr. Ollywompus. While his humor is subtle, it has a bit of a darkside that sick Fs like me can appreciate. Jonnys destruction of Newbs is supremely entertaining and his line "a monkey is one thing but a newb?" is a classic but Ollys darkside is more up my alley!

10.) Most likely to own the e90 First
Sorry peeps but I have to vote myself on this one as I WILL make sure this is a priority. Of course the proto testers will get their mits on it first but i'm going to be the first fool to drop some duckets on that B***h! Greenteeth gets the vote.


Funniest quote of the year in a thread where Gwapz was convinced the N70me had been converted to a S60v3.


.....sorry Gwapz but it was an instant classic imo. Anything "on your face" that makes you speechless and "shut out" is too funny to pass up!
 
I must say it's an honor to be mentioned in the same breathe as in the whoring category. While my whoring is likened to a streetwalker, Angel is LasVegas and the Bunny Ranch all in one, but we're whores nonetheless.


I would say that is almost obligatory considering I nominated you
 
I have my list made out, but I'm posting on my Wii because I haven't set up my computer down here yet and the Wii froze last time I tried to type it up.

Where's the biggest ******* category? I'd nominate myself or skagen for that one.
 
lol..Thanks...BTW...to settle you and Rapolus debate, i'm a hermaphrodite!

THETRUTH#34 is gettin an honorable mention as the friendliest hofoer as I just think he's a cool cat for some reason!
 
lmao....your probably a close second on that one...and you just went up another notch on funniest w/ 2 days left on the voting.

lol...you finally switched your profile to Atlanta. I wasnt sure if you would ever switch it Padner....."so yous from chickago huh? ur a damn yankee aintcha?"
 
i feel like i'm back in high school! i think we forgot biggest flirt and most likely to succeed!

but i guess i'll play along, if not for anything else but a post count!
i am going to vote selfishly though!

1.) Most helpful S60 Hofo'er (directly helped me) -- alyssaf
2.) Friendliest s60 Hofo'er -- darla -- she says hi to EVERYONE (including me, but that's 'cuz i sent her a pink theme in my 7610 days!)
3.) Biggest S60 Post-Whore --
4.) Most Helpful Develepor Member -- the chat cat person (i don't remember how to spell the name at the moment!)
5.) Most Interesting S60 Blog From a Member -- darla's
6.) Most Schizophrenic Phone Owner (who do you think has owned the most phones in the last year or so!?!) -- most of my friends and family think it's me! but i've only been through 8 phones in 2+ years. i nominate jonnybruha
7.) Biggest Early Adopter Member (Who owns the newest phones first?!?) -- i give half a vote to carsmovies and the other half to jonnybruha
8.) Biggest Newbie of the Year -- ANYONE who makes new posts without even attempting to read the first page of the forum.
9.) Funniest S60 Hofo'er (to me) -- me! but my humor is lost in text because there is not body language and facial expressions that you can really link to sarcasm in text. so i'll vote for... olly

And last but not least...

10.) Most likely to own the e90 First -- i'd say jonnybruha, but once he gets his n95, he's "done with phones for awhile" so i'll say greenteeth.
 
I think it's great that Nokia sent her a pink N95. She gives them so much positive "press," they would be crazy not to repay her in some form or fashion. If anything, I just think that much more of Nokia now.

ya breaks...it is zero fun sitting back and watching people open up N95s they got for FREE -
