Thank you

Great post, thanks for all the research. Has anyone seen information on the EVO second LED that's on the right side of the phone. Saw something on another forum.

This great! I started with the Epic and switched to the EVO. Really, the only thing I am missing from the Epic is swype. I have the swiftkey keyboard which is good, but I think I'd still rather have the swype input method. Any way to do that on the Evo now?

 

[chsinn]

BTW - I did read the part about swype not being in the android market, however, I have heard rumors about ways to get it onto other phones that it does not come pre-installed on.

Any chance this could be condensed into a PDF with all appropriate diagrams?

The problem is that the ideas are flowing in so fast I can barely keep up with the web version. Next up is Gingerbread then Honeycomb...

Thanks for sharing this! I just picked up a Droid X last night and desperately need to learn how to use it.

im wondering if anyone can tell me if its possible to have promo codes with android apps? if not, is there an equivalent to iPhones promo codes so people can test apps for free??

Thank you all for your nice comments.

Thanks for the links in your signature, I didn't know I could copy and paste...although I can't seem to get it to work for images.

 

[Captivate me]

This thread is sooo awesome! I learned so much, and I'm going to subscribe to it so I don't miss a thing.

Couple of newbie questions if anyone would be so kind to answer.
1. I've rooted my Captivate, but still can't seem to download tethering apps. e.g. PdaNet. I get a message saying the app I'm looking for can't be found. Shouldn't I be able to download such apps now that I'm rooted?
2. I read the tutorial for copy/paste. I guess my phone is slightly different b/c I wasn't able to double tap a word to bring up a "copy" menu...rather, I hit the menu button while in the browser for the selection. While this works perfectly for text, I can't seem to figure out how to cut and paste images. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for all your help.
