I was looking at the Incredible....but decided to wait just a bit longer and get the Droid X....what an awesome device. I can't WAIT to be rid of this damn Blackberry.
The Droid X looks pretty good. I played with a friends EVO the other day and I love the larger screen. Im not up for an upgrade for another 18 months but if Verizon comes out with a Droid phone with this chip I might have to go for it.

HA HA, nice. I love how Verizon just gives up. They find out it's more cost effective to just let you get a new phone instead of getting calls every day from you complaining how shitty your phone is.

The store manager told me that they were given an "unofficial directive" to move people off the Blackberry Storm quietly and quickly....so they don't waste time in store and on customer support lines dealing with angry customers.

I was amazed by Verizon's customer service compared to what I was used to with ATT.

Verizon fucked my first bill up, so I called them up. Now, keep in mind, I have screen shots on my iPhone of me trying to get issues resolved with ATT for over 2 hours. But when I called Verizon I pressed one button, got a real live American CSR, and he solved my issue without ever transferring me. Att and Verizon customer service can't even be compared.

Fuck you Att.

Jesus....phones will begin replacing even DVD and Bluray players very shortly...

Hey, any of you guys tried Slingplayer for Android yet? I was considering trying to grab a Slingbox off eBay to try it out...

Oh, and check out my new live wallpaper...courtesy of Android Central and XDA.

I have the Slingplayer app on my Droid. Last fall I got a Slingplayer HD set up at my parents house. They have NFL Sunday Ticket which I cant get at my apartment complex and I use it to watch Eagles games. It works really nice over Wifi and it works nice over Verizon 3G. It a little slower to start up and the delay is a little longer for button pushes than on the desktop app but its pretty cool being able to watch anything thats on DirecTV on my phone including using the DVR. If only the Droid had HDMI out . . .

I would like to see HDMI output as a standard on mobile devices; that would be sweet. Hopefully will happen soon enough.

It seems like mobile / smart phone technology growth is on the gas....I mean, like a new iteration every month....it's very VERY impressive....and truly unfortunate that we (the United States) don't have the most kick ass nationwide network to actually UTILIZE all of this technology. It's actually embarrassing that you can get superior mobile service basically ANYWHERE in Europe or the Far East.

Service here seems too fragmented....too beholden to what is...rather than what could, and SHOULD, be.
