I can't stand it...I'm getting a new phone today.

App suggestions?

(81-not getting an iphone)

ohhhh, whatcha getting

most apps are over rated. give me the internet, it has it all.

astro file manager for when you need to find a file
yahoo fantasy baseball
scoremobile
movies (great for finding showtimes in your area)
netflix
photobucket for uploading pics
pdanet for wired tether
and the king...wireless tether for free hot spotting.

that's about all i use.

htc Inspire...I compared teh plans for att and verizon, plans are about the same...but I'll stay with my att because when we go camping, the ppl that have verizon don't have service, and I still have it.
Costco has a deal going now, so I can get the phone for $20 on an upgrade
I don't want to pay for the tethering now...it's like $45/month for that...I know I'll get the 2G data plan
Mr. RK got blessed with a crackberry from work, so we get to figure out how he'll juggle 2 phones.

2g..people still use that.

looks like a nice solid phone....

and if you need the hotspot, it can be done for free.

The 81, is there an Android app that changes your outgoing caller I'd number?

Yeah. I think i read about a spoofing app. You can also hit *67 to hide your number

I'm using an iPhone 4 and the HTC inspire right now. I'm finding.that both Operating systems aren't even close to perfect. I do need some more time with the inspire to make a meaningful judgement.

may be. Thing that draws me to it is the ruggedized mil spec shit.

The Fixer

My Droid decided to take a shit today while I was on an important work call. Thing was fully charged and it died mid-conversation. Wouldn't take a charge or turn back on.

Only a year old and well maintained. Recently started giving me problems. shit like touching the text icon on the touch screen and being taken to my sportstap app (which takes me to live sports scores).

Long story short the thing is dead. First phone I have had to return in 12 years of cell use. Don't buy a droid. I moved on to the iphone 4. This thing better last me the duration of my 2 year contract.

Now excuse me while I try to find my contacts lost info...and learn how to use this phone

81

that blows.

was verizon able to say why it crapped?

Cubs by far.

I don't hate the iphone.

I got a Droid 3 this week. It replaced an original Droid which I got the month they came out.

This phone is great. They have improved a great many things. I like the size weight, and look of this thing. It runs real smoothly.

what....the post you quoted, i said it looked nice.

i'm sure it's a solid phone, i just not a big fan of apple products or how they do business.

it's pretty rare to hear somebody say this dislike their iphone, although it does happen.

I gotcha. I assumed your "it looks nice" comment was sarcasm. I guess it's hard to pick up on sarcasm on a message board.

it was more of a back handed compliment.
