I prefer dolphin browser from the market with its tabs, bookmarks and speed.

Just got the Incredible 2 a few days ago. Anyone else here have it/like it?

Just dropped in this thread for the first time.

I just switched to Verizon last week and I almost got the Incredible 2, but got the Thunderbolt instead because of the 4G. I like HTC phones the best, I bet you'll be happy with the Incredible 2.

Using your WiFi, not your monthly data plan while WiFi is on...

So if i'm not using wifi while I'm making ringtones on the app ringdroid it will use up my data?

Just need to make sure about that.

Microsoft could start making a billion dollars annually from Android...

Well, with 500,000 daily Android activations that Google recently reported, Microsoft could make $912 million in a year if it extracts $5 per activation on every Android smartphone or tablet sold. That’s how much it reportedly makes on each HTC Android device, as part of a licensing deal struck last year. It’s a long way to getting all Android makers to pony up, but you can see how big an opportunity this is for Microsoft, which is studiously lining up licensing deals with Android manufacturers. There are some 36 Android licensees as of May, making some 310 devices.

The latest and potentially biggest deal is reportedly in the works with Samsung, the world’s leading Android manufacturer in terms of sales. Microsoft is leaning on Samsung to sign a patent licensing deal that could pay Microsoft $15 for every Android device, although Samsung is reportedly trying to bring that down to $10. At that price, Microsoft could make an estimated $200 million alone just on Samsung Galaxy S II smartphones this year based on projections of 20 million sales. And if Android activations pick up speed, which is likely considering the pace of Android’s growth, it could mean an even larger opportunity of more than $1 billion annually for Microsoft.

Just need to make sure about that.

When u say making ringtones, you already have the tones on your phone. What does the app do, does it access internet to make apps or just you cutting tones?

All ringdroid does is allow you to take sound files that are on your SD card, slice them up, and assign them as ringtones. None of that needs any kind of data communication so it doesn't matter if you're on wifi or not.

I had no call/data problems, just the notification. But this must have been it since the problem is no more since Tuesday.

Bought the Incredible 2 last weekend. Anybody have recommendations for a package tracker. I was using Delivery Status by Junecloud on the iPhone but it seems to be Apple exclusive.

I use parcels, it's free and works, nothing fancy!
