Re: Official DROID Discussion Thread

Well going from a physical qwerty keyboard (env2) to this touchscreen keyboard has me taking 2-3 minutes to send a simple message. I'm improving with swype, it's faster and more accurate than I imagined.

That's kind of the reason I didn't like it. I rarely use my onscreen keyboard. I think I'm one of the few who really likes the physical keyboard on the Droid.

I really like it. Yeah, it could be better (especially for touch typing, IMO it's tough to get a feel for that), but I really like phones with physical keyboards, makes texting so much easier.

The Navigation of the Incredible is really good. Better than the indash GPS I have. Anyone know when the official car dock is coming out??

For those computer programming types, the Android dev tools are pretty damn cool.

It's a lot of different things to install to get it all working, but they have a site that tells you what to do. Best using Eclipse IDE.

I got it running, created a simple "Hello World" app, and installed it to my phone, so now I have a completely useless Hello World app on there haha, but it's cool it's that easy.

For the iPhone you have to pay like 300 bucks or more to develop, that sucks balls.

My local store called me and told me that had one in holding it for me. Just don't know if I'm going to go pick it up or not. I REALLY want to... but not sure.

I mean, you just bought that PS3 recently, might as well keep the cash flowing.

Re: Official DROID Discussion Thread

I'd definitely get it. You won't regret getting an Incredible.

Yeah, but the PS3 was no money out of pocket, just sold the 360 and iPhone, pocketed some cash, and got a PS3 as well.

Our AT&T service here is atrocious, so we're changing to Verizon, but man... $150 for the phone, I'm not sure. They're giving us either a Droid or Droid Eris for free along with my phone, so the wife will have a phone as well. I'm trying to get them to throw in another incredible though.

I know you want another Incredible, but the Droid is no slouch my man. I wouldn't get the Eris over the Droid though.

Stay away from that damn Eris. Once you get apps on there... It's soooo laggy

Re: Official DROID Discussion Thread

It def seems that the hardware for mobile devices has finally caught up enough to produce a truly awesome experience with the Android OS.

With the iPhone, you can obviously run lackluster hardware because you really are only doing one thing at a time most of the time.

With Android you have widgets pulling information in the background, twitter timing itself in the background to pull notifications, google voice running to push voicemail updates etc. etc.

It's really a great OS with snapdragon processor, I don't regret adding a line to my account just to get it.

I agree. I am seriously enjoying my Nexus. It just does EVERYTHING that I want it to. If they can fix the stock Android music player, I'd be in heaven. It definitely gets the job done though.

I would like to see internal storage combined with SD card slots in the future though.

Re: Official DROID Discussion Thread

Kevin Rose of Diggnation dissed the Incredible very hard on his show. Saying it felt cheap and Android sucks because none of the apps do anything perfectly or as smoothly as the I-phone apps do. However he does like the camera on the Incredible though.

But anyway........Android 2.2 with Flash suppose to be coming out next week to the Droid.
