    no blockbuster?

    Just checked the Verizon website, the Droid X has HDMI output. Lower left side of the case just below the micro USB port. But since I've got an EVO, the Blockbuster plan is a non starter for me. If in a month or so they roll out an Android app for everyone I'll take a look, but until then my...

    How to Set Wallpaper without cropping?

    Thanks for the reply! I was mistaken in my OP, the wallpapers that I downloaded were 480x800, just checked them. What is the size I would need for Android to use without distorting the image? I thought that if I got images the same size as the screen resolution I would be good. What I don't...

    What's the first thing you did when you woke up this morning (day after launch) ?

    Currently at work tethered to the Evo posting from my laptop.

    How to Set Wallpaper without cropping?

    I found some pretty neat wallpapers, 480x800 I believe, and would like to use them on my EVO. Looking at them in the Gallery they are damn sweet, BUT when I try to set them as Wallpaper a cropping tool pops up. I want to use the images as they are seen in the gallery, cropping doesn't cover the...

    For those who switched from the Pre

    Like the Evo just fine but I'm having a hard time doing the simplest of things, like set the wallpaper! lol I select a image from the gallery and it wants to crop it, I don't want it cropped, I want it to look just like the picture in the gallery. I've spent an hour trying to figure it out. If...

    How to Set Wallpaper

    Mkay, this is beginning to hack me off. Got some wallpapers off the net, yadda, yadda. They look great in the gallery, BUT when I go to set them as a wallpaper, the Evo wants to crop it. I want to use the whole image. How do I do it? I've tried the search function but it turned up stuff on...

    Hard to Believe

    Radio Shack it is. The two guys in the store said they had 7 pre-orders but the remainder of their 20 is available for walk-ins. I told them I would need 2 and they didn't have a problem tacking my name onto their list.

    Memphis PD. If you were over at PreCentral then you probably read some of my posts bashing the build quality of the Pre and how I made a couple of Touchstone vehicle chargers for my POV and my patrol car.

    Transferring contacts ?

    Good to know, I just hope my Pre is intact enough to pull the info from! It is literally breaking in two from the crack at the USB port.

    Hard to Believe

    Sprint hacked me off last Friday so I won't be dealing with their store front. I walked in wanting to know how much the two EVO's would be on the 4th, a hard dollar ammout so I would know how much money to transfer into the Debit card from savings. When the guy found out that I wasn't buying a...

    Hard to Believe

    LOL, I'd try that if I could even get one from BB to begin with. Of the 2 stores called, one has enough for pre-orders, the second store I called the girl I spoke to was clueless about what an EVO was.

    For those picking up their Evo 4G's on Friday, how far away is the store?

    The closest BBuy is about 5 miles away, but the closest Radio Shack is a little under 2 miles.

    Hard to Believe

    I just got off of the phone with an employee at the Best Buy closest to me. I was trying to find out about the availability of the EVO on Friday. Since I didn't pre-order the phone I was curious to see if I could walk in after work and pick one up, or should I have a cold Friday and camp out in...

    Curious. Who is switching and From what???

    A good operating system that is still in advanced Beta, (there are some things my old Razr can do that the Pre still can't) but an overall bad hardware design crippled the phone and its sales. The Pre is the ONLY cell phone I've ever had to replace (3 times!) for hardware defects. That's a...

    Buy on D-Day or wait for updated EVO???

    After being burned by the Pre I'm going to hold off a month or so and see what kind of complaints crop up here. I am so ready to get rid of this Pre, its my third refurb and the screen is about ready to break in two.
