Took advantage of a sweet deal with the phone company and upgraded to an android.

This thing is like crack. App for this, app for that, there is an app for everything.

Got a Motorola Milestone. Pretty nice phone and built like a little tank.

What are your favorite apps? So far I love the kindle app. Got a bunch of books loaded up and in my pocket.

I got it, but Anchorage was not available. I can listen to most major cities in the lower 48 though. May have to try another scanner app to see if local is available with them.

Hello.

Android is the killer phone OS now.
Both Apple and Microsoft have become very closed with their phones.
The new HTC G2 is really cool in that it has a very much dynamic radio that can do GSM as well as CDMA and WCDMA.
It can work pretty much any band of frequencies from around 600 mHz to around 2300 mHz.
T-Mobile has some odd assignments that this device will address just fine.
There is an unauthorized hack to make it do iDen, direct talk even!
Google had hoped to get whitespace going but had to settle for this.

No. But there have been numerous complaints about malfunction when used in an improper orientation.

I tried it and I'm not real impressed with it. I think my droid needs more counterweights.

Got an LG optimus last weekend and kicked ATT to the curb after 10 years of service. Still having some issues with the keyboard (fat fingers) but getting used to it.

This isn't the droid I was looking for, but Santy Claus left one of these in my mailbox the other day.

Not the most responsive, but I'm having fun messing around with it.

Pink?!?!

It's really white. I'd be ok with it if it was pink though...I'm that manly. I think it just looks pink because it's catching a little light reflection from KKM's vibrator a few posts above.

The barkeep sees you on your Droid. He's watching you sleep.

Well that's gonna creep me out and keep me from sleeping...what can you suggest along the lines of a sedative? I'm starting out with a Corona, I'm sure I'll need something stronger.

I probably have a similar story that involves a bottle of Monte Alban, a worm, a carboy full of home made wine, a Christmas tree, several lollipops and a dog.

Having some fun with the barcode scanner app.

Also found a QR code generator. How would this be for a new avatar on every forum I belong to?

Shipping is free but slower than molasses in January at the North Pole.
