    Google Maps update reboots phone

    I was afraid it was an incompatibility between my custom rom on my sensation but am happy(?) to see it seems to be an overall htc - google issue. Hope it gets fixed soon but while I'm waiting I don't have a problem with the older version. The cache delete thing didn't solve the problem for me.

    My first android - did I make the right choice?

    After having it a few weeks now there is nothing I miss about my BB, except the nostalgia. I had that phone for 2 1/2 years and it was great, but everything gets old eventually. Thank you very much for the WhatsApp recommend, I made my wife a convert and we're both loving it now.

    Got my phone today, a full week earlier than UPS estimated their delivery. So far things are looking good, but a few simple things I just can't figure out. First, how do I adjust the call volume??? 2nd - for those of you who have used Blackberry's before, what is the best, closest IM app to...

    So I finally made the jump from blackberry to android. I have tmobile and I've had a blackberry for years. I started with the old 8320 and upgraded to the 8900, and I am up for a renew now.

    G2 Free from Tmobile

    I just did this myself. Not exactly free, at least for me there was an $18 "upgrade' fee and I paid for 3 day shipping so that was another $19.99, but the price was low enough to make me switch from my trusted blackberry.
