      My Google Nexus One is coming in on Monday (yes I know it's discontinued, but it has pretty much everything I wanted in a phone)... Any good websites that has a list of the essential apps? The phone is rooted and flashed with the CyanogenMod 6.0.

        Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

        After I just praised the hell out of thr Fascinate I ended up returning it. I hardly used it for voice the first couple days. Then last night I noticed an echoing that sounding like a transformer. I figured it was nothing. Today I tried to talk to my mom, them my sister and I could barely hold a conversation. The echoing and feedback was terrible. I don't get a great signal where I live anyway. So it had to go back. Other than call quality its a good phone.

        Now I wait for the X to get here.

            So, my contract is up for renewal and I will probably jump off the Blackberry boat into the Android market. What are good phones for Verizon?

                Most definitely the Droid X. I absolutely love this phone.

                For the Droid users out there, are you able to see the "New Posts" option on your browser for OS?

                Also, are most of you using the TapaTalk app?

                Thanks guys.

                  I have one too. Just got it about a week ago. There was a bit of an adjustment coming from a Blackberry and never having owned a touchscreen device, but now I am loving it. I'm rooted, skinned, and have a ton of apps. Still doing some tweaks trying to optimize the battery life, which is worse than I expected.

                      I was just about to ask about this. I'm coming from an iphone and a few days ago bought an HTC EVO, but the battery life is terrible. I have to charge twice a day and I have most things off so I don't get it.

                        Just a tip for anyone with an EVO. Go to any Sprint corporate store and tell them you're having bad battery life with your phone and they will give you an extra free battery.

                          Art, you may want to double check to see what you have OFF, cause stuff is always running in the background. Also download "Advance Task Killer"

                            Task killers suck, see my earlier post if you want to know why.

                            The biggest thing I've ever done to save battery life is to get Juice Defender, it more than doubled my battery life.

                              I have both ATK and Juice Defender. I think I'm just that much of a poweruser, constantly doing multiple things on my phone. I even needed multiple spare batteries on my Blackberry, so I already bought some online for the EVO.

                              Still going to try to find the right combination of kernel+ROM that is the most efficient and smooth.

                                Installed juice defender. Let's see how it works as I am on a FULL Charge. Also, is is it the free tapatalk what people use to post on OS from their phones, or is the paid version.

                                Also do I have to enable anything in my OS profile to us tapatalk
