    Peggle/PvZ in Market - anyone tried?

    So - Peggle and Plants vs Zombies are not compatible with the Echo per the Amazon store. However, they are live in the Android Market now and both claim to work with my Echo. Has anyone taken the 2.99 plunge on either title to know if they do/don't actually work?

    best themes / Widgets

    I just spent a day or so customizing mine and went with a combination of ADW Launcher and the full version of Circle Launcher and love my phone even more. The only caveat is that ADW didn't really like flipping between regular/tablet mode and acted kind of wonky. To get around this - I...

    Is this phone worth it?

    Frankly, it's not for everybody but for my use I love it. I would highly recommend hitting a Sprint store and just checking it out in hand versus the other phones out there. It's a odd design that is very much either you love it or hate it immediately. I am very happy with my phone (aside...

    Gingerbread installed today!

    The cheaper alternative is to sign up for the $8/month insurance plan - it's open enrollment right now and if you complain enough they'll waive it for the month. That way they don't charge the $35 shipping.

    Gingerbread installed today!

    Did the update too - was a bit hesitant after my last misadventures in updating, but it went through fine. It added the Eco widget which I haven't played with yet, updated my market to the new swanky one and pinch to zoom works in the default browser (I think I still prefer Opera though). Yay...

    what are some of the best uses of the dual touchscreens?

    I like the larger screen size for Netflix and other video watching (you get over the black bar), but for me the full screen keyboard is one of the best things about the phone. I had a hard time going from a Blackberry to my Hero due to a combination of a software keyboard and fat fingers - the...

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    It's funny - I swore I wasn't "that guy" who was really depending on having a slick phone with bells and whistles and everything but a can opener functionality - but I'm really hating waiting for my backordered replacement phone. I've been spoiled with newer software and a good processor...

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    Just wondering, my replacement is on back order - anyone have any experience with Sprint to know how long I should reasonably expect to wait and at what point I can try to demand they give me a phone in store or a different model under their insurance?

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    As much as I love(d) my phone - I'm going to go with the 2nd option... I will say this, being back to my Hero stinks - but it does get better reception from my office and the Sense widgets are nice to have back for the time being.

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    Don't know if this helps others, but here's how I handled mine... I called today - told them again what I was going through and that I couldn't get to their repair shop (they were over 30 miles away which meant I couldn't get there until Sat). They signed me up for insurance ($8) and credited...

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    Any tips on getting Sprint to swap my phone by mail without me driving 30+ miles and missing work to go to a repair shop? Any one have any corporate email addresses or contacts?

    Please post it soon - I'm going back to battle with them tomorrow..

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    I'm getting screwed. The nearest repair shop is about an hour drive from me (my Sprint store doesn't do repairs). They told me if they can't fix it, I'll have to take a loaner phone and then they'll try to get a replacement. So I called Sprint CS and was told they could ship me an advanced...

    RUMOR? Echo getting 2.3 on August 1st!

    I called and they can't fix it over the air - does anyone know if I'll have to take it to a Sprint store that says "Repairs" or will any official Sprint store be able to get me set up with a working phone?
