QuoteBeen playing with it for over a week now (Motorola's PR team sent it to me early.)
Initial thoughts:
1) It's slick as hell. The tech behind it (and the Android platform) rocks. Good hardware and software.
2) There are many more apps for the iPhone, but that's IRRELEVANT. Fact is, 1) how many do you really need, and 2) the ones on the iPhone that matter (finance, games, personal tech, travel, etc) are all on the Droid was well.
3) Touchscreen: Having moved from a Berry to the Android, I felt like I needed a Xanax for the first few days of using the touch screen. But it's gotten easier. I like it now.
4) The only downsides for me (and they're big ones) are...
a) No international phone. This isn't the Droid's fault, but Verizon's for using a CDMA network while the rest of the world is on GSM.
b) No Auto-Text - not auto-correct, but auto-text - i.e., the ability for me to type "myaddy" and have it convert into my address, or any of the hundreds of other quick-changes I've built into my Berry over the years.
c) Can't get the damn shutter sound on the camera to go away. Lame.
Other than that, it's good. If you're not using it totally for a business environment, you'll love it.
dont worry, new camera software coming out in the first update on december 11th, hopefully they help you out :)
this phone also has 2 processors which increases its speed over the iPhone, 10 fold.IHYD -
oh gawd, you 2 are wayyy to old for this sport =P. btw, the equal sign with the big p is called an emoticon....=DIHYD -
QuoteIn the Netherlands, you're actually settling if you pay the fine. So there's no conviction. We seem to have a point system, but it's only for new drivers, and I have no idea how it really works. If it really works. Get into felony driving convictions, and your premiums do go up, but you have to seriously speed for that. Up to at least 30 kmph, it's an administrative misdemeanor, charged to your registration, not to you, and there is nothing for the insurer to even know.
I'm no saint, but the cruise control gets set 5kmph below the speed limit. And I don't drink when I know I'm driving. It's not worth it - my time is not that expensive.
i NEVER want to be stuck behind you!IHYD -
how much did you tip her?IHYD -
feliz cumpleanos!IHYD -
you are 1 lucky SOB...reasons:
1) was there a hole in the top skin? if its bigger than your head cut that shit...
2) you can not safely determine how fast you are descending at 1k 2k 3k etc etc etc, you will only know if that hole has an effect on your descent rate when you land and brake your shit or land and walk away...i'd rather not take the chance.
3) that hole is almost the size of one of your cells...if not the size of it. now you are flying with less surface area.
mostly the issue is #2,IHYD -
thee lawyers either get rid of it if they have something to get rid of it with (evidence of some sort) or get a plea deal, or you can do a trial by written declaration in some states, in cali its very advisable...do the TBWD, if your case doesnt get thrown out then w/in 10 days request a re-trial (yes you can) and then do another TBWD...at this point 8months later the cop probably wont show up.IHYD -

hahaha, just getting used to typing with my thumbs oh a full keyboard :P...i can do it on the real one, but on the on screen keyboard it was a bit more difficult b/c i'm not used to it :PIHYD -
yes, you will love it, and jumping while traveling is awesome, but dont expect 10-15 in a weekend....not many places do that...IHYD -
So I am here sitting on the toilet writing my rfeview. In the 2 days I've had the device I havnt seen any negatives, I'm using both tghe real kdyboard and the on screen one. The only thing is that there is a lot of steps to do simple things, but its not that big of a deal bc you get used to it or juat d/l an app for it. So its a definit win!!!IHYD -

w00t, got it working...for some reason "1080i" was unchecked and that didnt allow me to get the entire signal or something like that, once i selected that on the list of available (my tv is 1080p) it works just fine again, w00t :)IHYD -
QuotePut the DVDR into 16:9 mode, not the TV. I think
tried, i dont have the option on it :(
EDIT: found it....working with this option...IHYD -
save your femur and go to a safire. ive been on the same sabre 2 170 for 200 jumps now and i have been very happy on several occasions for not downsizing and changing shit up...ask the folks at skydive elsinore =D. if you know people that have gone to it then they got really bad advice or no advice at all. odds are against you if you make the jump from sabre 1 to stilleto at 29 jumps...make the right choice, there is plenty of time and sky out there for you to move to a HP landing.IHYD -
i made hteo nly tv option that i can but none of that worked :(...it was fine for the longest time, it just started happening recently and i made no adjustment...wondering if the station is sending an image that my box can't adjust to :/...IHYD
