Part 1 of our review is up. We'll have more once we've used the thing for more than 16 hours. (Actually use a phone before reviewing it? Madness!)

Have questions? Ask me here.
Can't unlock the phone while charging. I pulled the battery and still doesn't work. Is there a setting for this?

No setting, it should just unlock. I didn't have any issues unlocking while charging.
 
Is anyone having problems or knows the fix to syncing Google Music Beta ? Just cant get it to work at all
 
Having tried out the EVO and the EVO 3D, this one has them both beat hands down (though I do miss Sense). I think we have a new king of the Droid phones. That said, could somebody humor a Motorola noob and tell me how to get rid of the "dock" at the bottom - assuming you can?
 
Is anybody's light sensor working? Mine doesn't seem to be adjusting brightness automatically and the in-pocket protection thing isn't working either...

What dock? Do you mean the 4 buttons that persist across home screens?
 
Has anyone been able to use/purchase the HD Station? If so, what are your thoughts and how did your purchase one since it is not listed on Sprint's web site or Amazon.
 
I am new to the Motorola UI and was wondering if it was possible to delete additional home screens? I see that you can view them all and jump to a specific homescreen. However If I only wanted 3 or 4 homescreens, is that possible? Thanks
 
Any tips online to purchase the micro HDMI cable. I was shocked how much the price fluctuates. Went to Best Buy ($32) then WalMart ($29) and then Radio Shack ($49!!!!) and checked online and saw prices as low as $7. What the hell...talk about an in-store markup!

Of course. You should never buy any of those cables in-store; they're sometimes marked-up 500% or more. Always look online for the better price.

You could go with a cheap one as long as it's from a trusted seller. I got an HDMI cable from Amazon real cheap (for my TV) and it worked great.

I just ordered from Amazon and the order is fulfilled by Amazon. The $7 charge was WITH Prime shipping free trial and the one-day delivery option. The cable itself was .50 cents.
