I'm up in March, I may have to go cell-less until this thing comes out. I pay 50.00 a month to ATT for unlimited text and 450 minutes. Another 30.00 with this phone may be worth it.
Either Droid or Nexus would be sweet. Especially both on VZW. Openeness is a huuuuugggeee plus. Don't need Apple/AT&T telling me what I can and can't do with a phone I paid for. Love google, emails good, calendars good, free. Don't care if they spy I have nothing to hide!! Droid is expensive for existing customers and Nexus even more so. Nexus is real game changer though....
A friend has the Tom Tom software for his iPhone and really likes it. I've played with it a little and liked it, but haven't put it thru it's paces.
I've also heard good things about the magellan. I listen to a trucking show on Xm at night at work, and I've heard several callers say good things about both the magellan and Tom Tom for that matter.
I just looked at iTunes, and there are tons of reviews for both apps.
Good, same here, running a build of mighty rom from last August, I am ready to update it again, as mine has a bug that text messages are dated in the year 2016
Apparently, people hack ("jailbreak") the iphones to add app's, and unlock the SIM card to use the (mostly older) iphones on other networks. See wiki post, toward bottom of page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone
This is another small step for the Android based phone. I really like the big plan that Google is trying to accomplish here. It is going to be a huge task to change the way cell phones are sold in the states, good luck to them.
just announced today is that AT&T is adding Android smartphones to it's lineup. The article also says that AT&T will most likely loose it's exclusivity of the Apple i-phone this coming year which only makes sense as why would Apple not want to be able to sell their product to all of the carriers.
Many don't know this, but AT&T approached Apple to build them a phone, gave Apple complete control over design, and the iPhone was born. AT&T funded quite a bit of the R&D. This is why AT&T had an exclusive deal with Apple for a few years. It isn't really the evil corporate plot everyone thinks it is.
Hoot, the story I've always hear and read was that apple developed the phone and took it to verizon first, and they couldn't strike a deal. Then apple went to AT&T, and here we are.
"Just eight days after Google (GOOG) opened its online store to sell the new Nexus One smartphone directly to customers, its support forums have been overloaded with complaints on a variety of issues. They stem from coverage and delivery problems, network compatibility, dropped calls and operation woes."
Wait until 4G hits, we'll look back at these phones as toys. Very cool technology coming in the next couple of years. Some major metro areas will be lit by the end of the year. However, only data cards will be available initially, phones to follow sometime in 2011. Verizon plans to have 4G coverage equal to it's 3G in 4 years. Very neat stuff...
Cellphones don't have the processing power to take advantage of the faster speeds, hence why wifi feels roughly the same. If you use a datacard or use your phone as a modem attached to a PC you can see the difference. 4g has the potential to reach speeds of 1GBPS, which is over 20x faster than the fastest publicly available home internet connection.
