might be getting the atrix for 400 out of contract, looks like att is running some promotion for 100 bucks off

2/13/2011 5:31:31 AM

what's the first tegra dual core android phone on sprint gonna be? anyone know? gotta have something to look forward to from the evo

2/13/2011 1:08:10 PM

anyone do work on droids?

2/13/2011 1:37:20 PM

Is there a 'Drafts' folder, ie if I'm composing an email and have to go back to the homescreen, is the partially composed email saved anywhere?

http://tinyurl.com/4eg64ok only works on POP3/IMAP email, I'm wondering if my Exchange accounts have that option, since the Folders List doesn't show Drafts on my Exchange accounts

how does one get proper pricing on the atrix? if I go on the website it tells me it's $300 for an upgrade for $200. I'm down for off contract for $400 if it comes unlocked.

2/13/2011 2:52:21 PM

got my atrix for 400 today before tax off contract. I could get it unlocked if i wanted since i've been with att for like 7 years. att policy is that they'll unlock your phone without cost after you've been with them for 6 months I think.

2/13/2011 4:11:31 PM

lots of stuff from Sony Ericsson and Samsung at MWC today. http://www.engadget.com/

2/13/2011 4:18:57 PM

yet still no honeycomb or froyo for the stupid galaxy S phones

2/13/2011 4:49:23 PM

^I doubt they'll ever get honeycomb

2/13/2011 4:57:51 PM

i know... but if someone makes a good version of it for it, I will have one of my technically inclined friends put it on my phone for me

2/13/2011 5:13:38 PM

yeah, honeycomb seems to be tablet only. I already has Froyo so I'm ready for Gingerbread. But I'll probably have the HTC Thunderbolt before it gets that far.

2/13/2011 5:21:19 PM

yeah, unfortunately I gotta wait til late september before I can even do the $70 dollar early upgrade option. Will sprint be getting any good new ones to look at?

2/13/2011 5:23:52 PM

Sprint seems to be sitting on their hands. They did have David Blaine and announced that snazzy dual screen phone.

2/13/2011 5:29:37 PM

Sadly I'm not really interested in any of the Verizon phones coming out. Hopefully something slim and powerful will be out before July when my contract is up

2/13/2011 9:50:31 PM

I really like the idea of the Xperia, but I switched to Sprint for the Epic, and I don't want to switch again if I can help it... blarg

What more are you looking for? The Thunderbolt is right around the corner and the Bionic should be out near the middle of the year. If you don't want LTE, there's the Droid X2 with a tegra 2 and similar specs has the Bionic but has a full GB of ram and no FFC. The Incredible 2 should also be out by then and is expected to be a world phone.


And quad-core chips in a phone?

"If the latest iterations of the Snapdragon family have left you feeling hollow, lonely, and disappointed, we bring news to warm your MIPS-craving soul. In a move set to immediately banish the barely-available 45 nm MSM8260 from our minds, Qualcomm have just announced their Krait family. This series of 28 nm chipsets tops out at four 2.5 GHz CPU cores and a matching quartet of 3D processors, utilizing the latest in the Adreno GPU family. What kind of performance can you expect from these? Well, QC state that performance will jump by 150%, along with a 65% reduction in power consumption – and that’s just the CPU. The new Adreno 320 is slated to trounce the original Adreno 200 with up to 15X performance in graphical processing, rivalling current home consoles."

^ front facing camera on the Droid X2 would be nice

2/14/2011 9:46:56 AM

bye bye wordfued

hello words with friends

2/14/2011 12:44:05 PM

so i've just started using my phone with our corporate exchange server and i hate HTC's default mail stuff. is there a better program to use? I'm satisfied with the gmail support, but activesync support is pretty ugly.

2/14/2011 1:09:36 PM

^^I just saw that and downloaded it, but every time I try to open it, it force closes

2/14/2011 1:15:55 PM

I'm not seeing Words With Friends in the market, is it out yet?

I like Touchdown. It's ~$29.99 I believe but is well worth it imo. (granted I expensed it to my last job so I guess it's worth nothing to me. )

2/14/2011 1:34:38 PM

^^ it's in the market...that's how I got it

it's called Words with friends free i think

2/14/2011 2:04:05 PM

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zynga.words

Found it, its kind of buggy so far. Does it show how much a word is worth before playing it?

[Edited on February 14, 2011 at 2:15 PM. Reason : Link]

2/14/2011 2:15:31 PM

^^^ cool, i'll check it out. i don't know for sure, but i can't imagine anyone having a problem with me expensing it

2/14/2011 2:22:31 PM

^^Oh man, than you for posting that. I had no idea.

2/14/2011 4:35:57 PM

still force closing on my epic

2/14/2011 8:08:26 PM

I've been playing with it since I posted earlier and I've only had one force close so far on my Incredible *shrug*

2/14/2011 8:22:24 PM

so far touchdown is working really well, i'm a fan

Incredible S- pretty much a slightly smaller Thunderbolt (4"), with a bigger battery and no LTE radio

2/15/2011 7:32:31 AM

What makes Words With Friends better than Wordfeud? I tried this version in the android market for a bit but can't see any reason why I would play it over Wordfeud

2/15/2011 8:31:08 AM

^Mostly because its cross platform. I like it better because I can play with all of my iPhone friends since pretty much everyone with an iPhone has WWF.

2/15/2011 8:48:34 AM

exactly...

all the hot chicks have WWF

dont you want to be their friend?

2/15/2011 11:18:28 AM

gotcha Out of all of my close friends, 95% of them either have an Android phone, a blackberry, or no smart phone. Very few have iphones. Maybe that is kind of strange, I dono. Anyway, all the Android users out of them already use Wordfeud so I'll probably just stick to that.

Quad-core tablets by August? Smartphones by Christmas?

Quote :

"Sprint has had an on again / off again relationship with LTE for some time now, but it looks it may finally be nearing a commitment one way or the other. Speaking in a roundtable discussion at Mobile World Congress this week, Sprint's Senior Vice President of Networks, Bob Azzi, said that the carrier would be studying the rate at which its customers migrate from EV-DO to mobile WiMAX over the next four to six months, and that it would evaluate the best way to use its existing spectrum before it reaches a firm decision on a possible switch to LTE. As we've heard previously, that switch would be a fairly straightforward one from a technical standpoint due to the carrier's recent upgrades to its network, which allow it to upgrade its gear to LTE simply by swapping in a new baseband card and issuing a software patch."

2/15/2011 7:40:36 PM

lol nvidia is bringing their PC upgrade cycle to mobile SoCs and are laughing the competition out of the room. later qualcomm, you had a nice run.

2/15/2011 8:39:33 PM

allegedly someone's atrix on androidcentral has shipped. if true, i'm fucking jealous.

2/15/2011 9:13:29 PM

CM7 RC1 for Evo is out today...I'm hopping on that.

I can't believe how fast non-Sense ROMs are, no pun intended.

2/15/2011 10:40:26 PM

now lets see if the rumors of Froyo for the Epic on the 21st and the Fascinate on the 22nd turn out to be correct.

2/16/2011 8:56:55 AM

wtb replacement water detection stickers for Evo.

2/16/2011 9:17:34 AM

wtf...so you dropped your phone in water annnnnd you're wanting to make a warranty claim instead of pay for it?

or ?

2/16/2011 9:32:06 AM

It doesn't take much to trip those little stickers.

2/16/2011 11:37:01 AM

I can't decide whether I should buy a new sound card for my desktop or pre order the Xoom WiFi....

2/16/2011 1:29:12 PM

do you know when the Xoom wifi will be out?


I've read rumors that it won't be out until much later in the year.
