Lingo Defined for Noobs

[Krayzie]

Can someone please direct me to a post where there are definitions of some sort, or something like that, for the lingo on this forum. If not, lets use this post to start one up.

Unlock -
Codecs -
Falcon -


:idea:

when someone refers to unlocking a phone they want to be able to use nextel sim cards on a boost mobile phone.
codecs are the things inside your phone, they are usually modified with a depot/RSS type program
falcon is one of 2 nextel types of phones. there is condor and there is falcon.

There are 3 Tiers of NXTL phones. Eagle, Condor, Falcon, Not two...

o rite forgot about eagle. i feel like such a fool

Do the three levels of phones rate in that order in terms of quality? (first to last) How would you know which one you have?

Codec are used for audio/video file compression. mpgs, mp3s, mp4s, avis, etc., all use different codes for compression.
Check out www.videohelp.com if you want to learn about codecs.

they use different kinds of sim cards, you can tell which one you have by how many digits are in the model of phone you have. for example an i90 is condor and i730 is falcon.

Oh, I see. So, you are able to interchange the sim cards between phones of the same level.

Well, that answered a few questions for me, but I am sure a bunch of other people that are new to the site are not sure of some of the terminology used in these threads. There should be some kind of definitions "sticky" of FAQ posted somewhere on the site...or here.
