I don't think he's spent more time on any other app on the phone

.

As for the Cliq2, like I said, big disappointment about the pretty much untruth they told about 4G, but very glad about everything else. Oh my God, it is so nice to have turn-by-turn. I have been so phone giddy all day. And oh shit, I have 7 screens to fill up with shit (3 screens was NOT cutting it for me before

)

Had a little fun with Androidify last night lol.

Justin24 · 02-15-2011, 07:14 AM

I love my HTC Evo especially even more now that I rooted it and flashed a new rom on the phone!!!

bono_212 · 02-15-2011, 01:24 PM

So, you all love this.

I'm taking the phone back.

T mobile sent me to the wrong store. Now I have to go 40 miles in the opposite direction.

That sucks. So which are you going to trade for?

bono_212 · 02-15-2011, 03:09 PM

I am now the proud owner of a G2. I need my keyboard. I wish id known about the G2 yesterday, would've saved me a lit of trouble. Oh well.

powerhour24 · 02-15-2011, 05:59 PM

I love my HTC Aria, Sense UI is the only edited version of Android that actually makes the quite-functional but quite-ugly OS look good and function even better. Unfortunately they've yet to push an update with Sense for the phone, so it's still on 2.1, fortunately it still has all the functions I need, but if it's not going to be updated for the next 10 months or so that the life of this contract is, I'll be rather mad.

Oh, and seeing as how I love the Android logo, I used Androidify to make contact photos for all my best friends, so much fun.

this also made me realise i misspoke in a previous post - ian's got the mytouch 3g, i'm the one who wants the g2.

so yeah how awesome is that phone?

bono_212 · 02-16-2011, 01:02 AM

Only thing I really don't like is that whne I'm on the phone in bed using the keypad, the angle makes the phone top heavy and the hinge slips forward. Really annoying.

Also, I hid a facebook contact and can't figure out how to unhide it, anyone know?

Also also, Travis might be returning his phone for the MyTouch 3G slide tomorrow after he found out the resolution of the Charm's screen makes Groove Shark inoperable.

Hell yeah I did.

This a sexy-ass phone. My primary issue with it is that it lacks a directional pad and its track pad was extracted from a Blackberry and -- Frankenstein like -- jammed onto the front of this one. Blackberry track pads blow.

I would recommend it for, the time being. The keyboard is roomy and resembles laptops', and service quality is consistently good.

**KhanadaRhodes** · 02-27-2011, 07:04 PM

k, my phone's really starting to piss me off. granted, i've had it for 2 1/2 years and have used it heavily in this time so it's lived a good life, but still. my phone will work for maybe 10 minutes then shut itself off. once it's done it once, i'm screwed. after that it'll really power up just long enough to get a 3g connection then it turns off again. rinse, repeat.

i've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that i need to get a new phone. i could take a chance on a new battery but it's not worth it. this phone wasn't even sold here so i'd have to buy one from another country and at that point, i mean, what if the battery doesn't fix it? then i bought one for nothing. i can't even see anything wrong with the battery anyway, it's still perfectly flat on all sides.

so yeah tl;dr: looks like i'll be buying the htc desire z soon. i can't wait to hold that thing in my hands.

mikal · 02-27-2011, 08:13 PM

has anyone owned the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V? i'm switching to Virgin next month because i'm sick of contracts and this phone looks like the shit. keep in mind that i've never had a smartphone before.

Justin24 · 02-27-2011, 10:54 PM

I have a friend who recently switched to Virgin also and got this phone and she loves it. No issues to report a good base android model.

mikal · 03-02-2011, 06:19 AM

cool thanks Justin. if only i could get out of my at&t contract early. i'm stuck until May.

Justin24 · 03-03-2011, 10:59 PM

Hey Mikal here is Cnet's Review. 4 out of 5 Stars.

**KhanadaRhodes** · 03-11-2011, 07:41 AM

guess who just bought an htc desire z? aww yeah. can't wait to have that baby in my hands.

powerhour24 · 03-12-2011, 11:00 AM

HTC is the only Android designer / manufacturer I trust, they really know how to make that OS shine.

Spun2U · 03-12-2011, 11:14 AM

I prefer motorola for the hardware (I have the Droid X), but I run a different ROM call Rubix. Almost the best of both worlds.

gvox · 03-15-2011, 06:56 PM

I just got an LG Optimus One. I know its a base model (hey, got it free!) but I'm absolutely lovin it so far! Buh-bye Blackberry!
