Love this phone / os!!!

[joshlane4]

Sorry to shout, but I'm so happy with this phone, and Android. Great physical construction on the phone, it just looks and feels good. I got it on Friday and so far:

• installed Launcher Pro to hide the Verizon bloat (I'll wait for CyanogenMod to root)
• Handcent SMS is great
• beautiful widgets to get that Sense look w/o the crap
• Amazon Cloud & Google Music for the tunes
• Dropbox + Epistle for anywhere lists
• Tango to video chat
• Google voice for free texting and wonderful voicemail

In short, it's awesome!

My only suggestion to add would be the SwiftKey X beta keyboard.

I did the Swiftkey paid version....is the Beta better?

 

[skyboxer]

I think so, and since you already have the paid version you get the X version when it releases

waiting for my girlfriend to decide on a phone, but I'm set on the DInc2. I have dreams about this phone. When i reach in my pocket i feel like i already have it.. then pull out my Tour. cant wait.

Dont mean to hijack, but what does the Launcher Pro actually do? I looked it up and it seems like it pretty much does what the DINC2 already does. How does it "hide" the bloat?

In the settings come on you can manually hide application that you don't want to be visible.

hmm i had launcher pro on my Motorola Droid, but found it too laggy. I may have to give it a shot on the DINC2.

do you have to be rooted to use this?

If you mean Launcher Pro, no you don't have to be rooted. Just download from the market and enjoy.

so all it does is hide the icons? (BB already does this btw) but yea, so the bloatware is still bloating the device only you dont see it. kinda like Spanx for your phone.

No. It is a "Launcher". It replaces your home screens, and most of the HTC Sense software that you would normally interface with. It is a highly customizable program. It has its own dock and widgets et al.

One of its features is the ability to "hide" applications from the app list. So when you navigate to the app list, you don't see all of the bloatware that Verizon preinstalls on the phone (and you are unable to remove without root access).

Sounds cool. Still a bummer the bloatware is hogging space but cool you can hide it using this. I guess that's what I'm doing now with my bb.

Should be fun to play around with.
