Coming from a Nexus One, I just got a Skyrocket yesterday. While having a dual core and LTE speed is indeed nice, the phone is a f****** brick in comparison to the Nexus One, so I am somewhat regretting my decision and might return it ... It's easy to see the upsides of the phone (speed, large...

Battery certainly seems weak, especially compared to the nook Color with cm7 ... There are a ton of amazon services always running though and I hope that is the problem ... which will get fixed with cm ...

This.

4. the Nook tablet has a locked bootloader making the Kindle Fire far superior. 5. the Kindle Fire has custom ROMs making the Kindle Fire far superior. 6. the Kindle Fire has a bigger battery making the Kindle Fire far superior. ... X. and if you really want to use it just as an ereader: the...

Back on topic: Kindle Fire has Cyanogenmod 7 with devs working on CM9.

You need to do more research ... also check out Netflix on the Kindle Fire and the Nook Color. B&N locking the Nook Tablet because of one app (Netflix HD), especially one that cannot be used properly on the hardware in question (the NT doesn't have an HD screen), is a BS conspiracy theory. But...

The tablet can really only be used with the stock software due to the locked bootloader. The Nook Color (obviously) has CM7 and will get ICS/CM9 (thus enabling tablet apps)!!!! The Kindle Fire is also unlocked and slightly faster than the Nook Color - it already has an alpha built for CM7 and...

It's my understanding that Netflix also said that they would require certain "locked" CPU's (with hardware security measures?) for the normal Netflix app, before they were able to renegotiate some contracts with studios and release the SD netflix app for pretty much any device. As such I don't...

That is such a BS conspiracy theory: B&N locked down the NT because they don't want people to buy they ebook reader and turn it into a tablet. It is supposed to be a device that you can only use with B&N's store ... not a generic android tablet.

Some BS troll on XDA has compiled kexec tools and everybody acts as if the bootloader is hacked. It is NOT hacked. In fact, another user confirmed via the source code for the NT, that it will be IMPOSSIBLE to run kexec: xda-developers - View Single Post - [BOOT] Worse news (was "Bad news...

Locked bootloader means there will never be an official Cyanogenmod ROM ... SOL. Unless somebody figures out a way to totally hack the bootloader in the next couple of days, we would be better off if Devs focus their efforts on other devices that are easier to hack. Look at the Motorola and HTC...

So it looks like the NT has a locked bootloader meaning devs/custom ROMs are SOL for the NT? [BOOT] Worse news (was "Bad news everyone.") - xda-developers

I guess it won't matter ... unless you are a t-mobile customer who would get free roaming on att's 3g network. last i checked att's coverage was significantly wider. Nope. Was false advertising: They claimed on their website that it supported UMTS: 850/1900.

go ahead and do it.

I have found wifi to be really unreliable in the latest CM7 nightlies and stable. used to be much better.
