im not. its awesome. it was flawless while i played with it, and it was better then my X, which i love. but im a little shocked too. the gap wasnt as big as i thought it would be. i guess thats why the X is still a top tier phone.

After a minor freakout (my app drawer temporarily borked), my DX is successfully rooted. Now to kill the bloatware!

Did my Droid 2 a month or so ago for Wireless Tether. It's pretty sweet.

I jailbroke my iPhone a few weeks ago.

Anyone see the newly released Casio Commando? It is a ruggadized smart phone with the Droid OS on it. Looks pretty bad ass. But Casio phones are shitty as hell, so more than likely the phone itself will be a shitty phone. I watched a review on it, and just swiping through the main screens is laggish. So its a good idea... but bad execution. More than likely since it just came out they will just need to get rid of all the bugs, and it will be a fine phone im sure.

LETS GO BUFFALO!

No more unlimited data plans for Verizon (people will be grandfathered in, of course) :

http://www.androidcentral.com/verizons- ... ete-detail

But holy shit, those plans are pricey.

That may be cheaper than AT&T's, but to me it doesn't matter, I still got unlimited.

It's gonna suck when I get off of my parents phone plan though.

As I said in the RTT, I can't wait for iOS 5 to get released. I'll go back to a non jailbroken iPhone because of that. I was also thinking getting a MacBook Pro because of the wireless synching also.

_________________

AT&T has 2 GB for $25 and if you go over that amount, you get 1 GB for an extra $10. So in reality, you can get 3 GB for $35.

I have an unlimited plan as well. Thankfully.

iOS 5? Oh you mean Android

Oh, you mean Android, which wouldn't exist without IOS 1.

Why would i downgrade to that garbage?

_________________

iOS 5 kanged so many features from Android it ain't even funny.

That's business for you. Android looked at what iOS didn't have and implemented it.

IOS still runs better to me.

im purchasing a tablet soon. phil what would you recommend

The samsung iconia tab is a smooth machine. The motorola xoom is a good tablet. I played with hps new tab which is nice.

All around 600 bucks too for the 32gb versions. Or even iPad

The only thing I can say is play with those four and see which you like the best. The blackberry tablet runs really well too.

I've played with all of them at work before. But tablets still aren't my thing. For the price point you're better off getting a laptop that crushes every tablet in performance, hdd space, and well screen size and it has a keyboard built in. Or save yourself 300 bucks and get a netbook if all you're gonna do is basically get online and do simple tasks.

im an HP guy. so thats a possibility.

It was a nice product. my only big complaint about it was it was a heavy tablet. Much lighter options out there and it is really bright if you don't turn the brightness down on it.

_________________

If what you're looking at is over 500, you're overpaying. Toshiba has the Thrive, Acer has the Iconia (NOT Samsung), Samsung has the 10.1 Tab...the Xoom is overpriced and the two most important features (SD support and 4G) either suck or aren't even implemented.

I'll end up going with the Thrive because it offers 3 storage size options, has a comfy rubber backing, and runs stock Honeycomb. Also, because I'm a Toshiba whore

In terms of proportions, the HP TouchPad is the closest to the iPad in shape. It runs webOS, however.
