Android users?

Yeah, only a few got the update and the mass rollout is suppose to happen anyday now for the nexxus1.

 

^^ Yeah, those are Roms based on the leaked 2.2... I have the 4th one from the top on that page (Kangerade).... As far as the mass update, its been "coming very soon" for the last 3 weeks... The 2.2 betas the devs are coming out with are very cool though... all benchmark tests are 2 to 3 times better. The flash beta is cool as well... got hulu.com working, still a little choppy....

 

It's available as a manual upgrade for non rooted Nexus One phones (stock).

I already did it manually because I needed the tethering, just wondering if anyone is getting it OTA yet.

 

Yeah, I just got an EVO too. So far I love it and I love the android/sense UI.

 

Heathbar, where did you find your evo at? I have been trying to get another one and can't find one anywhere.

 

Yeah, I already got one for my wife...but still can't find one for myself. I am on two waiting lists but just trying to find one sooner

 

For those with "older" phones that haven't rooted and upgraded to Eclair, 2.1 blows the doors off of 1.6 (all with Cyanogen mod)...

I got on the waiting list at two Sprint stores, Peachtree and Lenox. Originally called Fri 6/11, got my phone Wed 6/16 from Peachtree (next to Piedmont Hospital). A day or two later, Lenox called me too!

 

2.2 is even better

beyond 2.2 is still a little buggy, but I install nightly builds on my device

 

^^^ 2.2 is a little buggy for me as well... but overall pretty smooth. You have the N1 right? I was hoping the Roms you use would be a lot more solid considering your phone has the official build/source. 2.2 Roms for my Droid are all still based on leaks. What launcher are you using? I liked the stock 2.2 launcher but allways resort back to LauncherPro... Especially now that you can set your home keys to whatever you want... lol and your "nightly" comment.. I'm not that bad, but change Roms at least once a week to see whats out there and test new builds..

 

the official 2.2 builds are fine. I usually end up flashing the (insert release past froyo here) nightly builds from our repository

 

Alright, you all seem rather knowledgeable about smart phones. I'm finally going to be getting one through Verizon in the next few weeks. I have no intention (at least for now) of rooting/overclocking/anything else that will void my warranty.

Basically I want a phone that will hold up for a two year contract (that's right never once have I gotten rid of a phone before 2 years). I want it to be decently quick, good at surfing the web, and most importantly, I don't want to drop calls.

From what I've been reading, the Incredible seems like a good way to go with the Motorola Droid being a decent option as well. Any other recommendations?

 

the droid 2 is coming out. Id wait for that.

 

The droid 2 is called the Droid X and it is being announced today with a release date of first week of july from what I have read. I would wait for that if staying with Verizon.

 

The Incredible is a pretty awesome phone.. but I agree with the others... At least 2 awesome phones are being released very soon... I would wait.... Its allways going to be a crapshoot though... My Droid I bought 7 months ago is allready old news, the Incredible just came out and its allready being overshadowed by the Droid X and 2... And, word on the street is phones with 2Ghz processors are coming shortly after that...

 

It doesnt say anything about Droid 2 on that site? Just has the original Droid, Incredible, and Droid X.

 

I thought the Droid X has the 2ghz processor and Froyo. That is what sets it apart from the EVO.

 

Droid 2 pics have allready been leaked... looks the same only with a better physical keyboard (Droid 1's weakness)... May have the 1Ghz processor in it too. I remember being not impressed with the numbers over the original Droid.

 

This article says 1Ghz and running 2.1 still....

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/exclusive-motorola-droid-x-preview/

 

Is it possible to get the actual release date for the droid X? I am currently awaiting my incredible but have no problem waiting a few more weeks...Matt says rumor is 1st or 2nd week of July but I cant even find that info.
service = Verizon

 

It was suppose to be announced today and what I heard it will be released first week of July.

 

Wirelessly posted

Retail stores by july 19th not sure about the web...maybe the release date?
Anyways I canceled my order and plan to wait

 

Droid X and EVO are on two differrent carriers, no need to make one better than the other. The norm is 1GHz and 2.1.

 

Doh, still no front facing camera. Boo! Must be waiting for LTE.

 

Froyo source code now available:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/android-2-2-froyo-source-code-available-today/

 

Yeah, I just read about the Droid X. I'll have to take a look at it for sure. Although, honestly, I'm not sure I want something that big, but maybe seeing it in person would change my mind.

I've heard rumors of the Droid 2 and even see pictures, but no release date or anything (hell, from what I know the X might be the 2). However, if it is just a souped up, redesigned Droid, I would probably be happier with it just due to the smaller size.

I'm probably heading to a verizon store this weekend, so I'll see what I come up with. Thanks for the input!

Haha the thing that gets me is regardless of what I end up with, I know there will be something better in 3 months

 

currently have the motorola droid... can't wait for the droid X... must have

 

Question.....can you jailbreak a Droid on AT&T network without issues. I know unless you jailbroke the iPhone you can't use it on another carrier. Is it hard to make a Droid work on AT&T SIMS?

 

I think the only other carrier the iphone will work on in the US is T-Mobile. I dont think you can get them to work on the ATT network. I am not expert but the only phones we have on the Verizon network that have sim cards are the global phones. I dont think the android phones are global phones. Same goes for Sprint.

 

The Google phone will work. Is the Motorola Droid Verizon only product?

 

I have seen people hack verizon and sprint phones to work on metropcs.

 

CDMA....thanks that was the acronym I was looking for! I knew GSM as that what I work with here.

 

They do on their global ready devices. So does Sprint

 

that's because they have more than one radio to support GSM and CDMA networks

 

Right but you said Verizon doesnt use SIM cards and I said they do in their global ready phones...I never said they did in their android phones

 

and I FINALLY have an evo now. Best Buy got 20 in stock yesterday and had about 5 left today

 

You'll love it. Check out androidforums.com

They're saying we'll get a Froyo update before the summer is over. :bigthumb:

 

I already want to buy stock in google after only owning this phone for 19 hours

 

THere will be something bigger and better on VZ by then
