Don't check for an update. Just check if the option has appeared in settings / applications

My phone also has "unknown sources" now. I don't think there was any update - I suspect it was more like a flag or code transmitted to the phone, to trigger activation of existing hidden option. Perhaps that's why some phones like Inspire get it soon, now, while other phones need to wait for a...

Spring is here!

I tried this picture too, of Giraffe at Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge - it's ok but there is grain even in the very bright sky! (again, click for bigger)

Tried taking pictures of the very rare event of four GPs all together - but the camera exposure was very difficult to get correct; results either too dark or washed out: (click either pic to see larger version)

Second pic disappointingly grainy on the flowers

Really nice! I'd love to hear some details of some of the widgets etc you have there.

OK. Pretty mad to have to install so much stuff to get a screenshot! Here's my lock screen, courtesy of WidgetLocker; quick slider-access to camera, camcorder, phone and my wife, and instant view of unread mail and Google Voice counts, as well as date/time, weather and battery percentage: App...

Bottom left of keyboard, left of button labeled "EN" is a keyboard-go-away button, the symbol is a keyboard with a down arrow.

For calendar, in Google Calendar you can set up multiple calendars and add tasks to a particular calendar; then you can display only the calendars that you wish ... I have work calendars from all colleagues on my office Google calendar, but don't display all of them on my phone.

Confirming above that Skype runs on this phone, but no talk over 3G in USA :(

I took another pair of pictures this morning, of the latest falling snow - this time the HTC Inspire 4G come off worse, suffering from the narrower field of view and also a strange off-color blob in the middle of the picture: This is what it should have looked like ...

As my review a while ago, I came from iPhone too, and agree with all your points - except for me (3GS) reception is no better with Android, but no worse either. Having watched this dogfight Atrix/HTC Inspire, I'm glad to have HTC Sense...

It seems that if you have FaceBook linked in, and no photo in your Gmail contacts, then the phone uses an awful quality tiny image from FaceBook as the picture. But I have a picture set up in Gmail contacts for a few people - and that picture appears in the People list in good quality, not...

Which? But all true. iPhone does have a few built-in Apps, like Stocks/Weather/Mail/Safari - obviously many folks want all but not everyone wants all; I wanted to remove Stocks but couldn't. Android ... on this HTC Inspire 4G there's a button left of "phone" bottom of screen to access Apps...
