$300 for an in-contract phone? Nyet. On the other side, $200 for a phone that's only marginally better than my DX? Also nyet. I'm sticking with what I've got until we see some serious advancements. But that aside, in terms of pure functionality/hardware/features, I'd say the Charge is...

google is a private company and has every right to decide what is and isn't released on their market. I'm happy that they have the degree of freedom they do-- they could be like Apple (or worse, RIM) and pull ANY competing products. Nothing's stopping developers from releasing the game...

swipe faster?

I'm a battery fiend, so here's what I've noticed that helps with my battery: First and foremost, pay attention to what apps you're using when the battery seems to drain fastest. There aren't many, especially if you stick to the popular apps, but there are a FEW that just WRECK your battery...

To add to/help clarify what baseballfanz said: A widget is like an app that runs on your phone's "desktop". You don't have to "open" it, it's just there, all the time, always on.

I switched from Launcher Pro to Go Launcher Ex and noticed a very significant battery decrease. (I went through the regular steps of taking all my widgets off the stock launch, and off Launcher Pro). Gave it a while to settle in, still battery drain. Switched back to Launcher Pro (to make sure I...

It's my understanding (take with a grain of salt-- my "understanding" comes from what the verizon reps WANT me to understand, which is often far from the truth) that you can only sign up for insurance within the first month of purchase... so while it's a little redundant the first year, if you...

From what I gather, general consensus on this is that Apple's being dbags. Not going to look good for them, particularly with Android on the rise. The more you tighten your grasp...

what do you mean by "clearer more focused"? I can't speak on the Optimus V but oftentimes to an untrained eye a technically better image may appear worse in comparison to a technically worse image. Now, since it's all opinion anyway, the "technically worse" image which looks better to you, may...

it's nice knowing that, if i feel like it, i can throw my phone into traffic for dramatic effect, then go get a new one ;-)

the nerdy shy chick that, once you put her hair down and take off her glasses, turns out to be the stunning beauty that no one realized

A $10 all-you-can-eat buffet doesn't mean your whole family gets to eat for $10.

Hey gang, bit of a noob... I have a few questions on things (that I'm pretty sure aren't possible, but I figured I'd ask) so instead of making a bunch of new threads... here's just the one! --using a droid x if it makes a difference-- Okay, skins for widgets. I love the functions of a few...

you paid for unlimited data on the understanding that it would ONLY be used for your phone. verizon offers an unlimited data plan at a relatively low cost because they know that it's very, very rare that someone will use a phone to rack up lots of data. If Verizon expected you to use your...

can you tell me what exactly is being synced over wifi? Say I have seesmic and I want the twitter widget to update with new tweets every hour... is this going to make it wait until I'm in wifi? Or is it more like, it syncs my facebook contacts with my phone's address book while in wifi?
