Yea I'm afraid if you're going to try and stay ahead of this curve, you may be changing phones a lot! Every time I think that they've maxed it out for a while... *BANG* comes another phone even cooler than the last! The EVO is no joke either and that screen is ridiculous!!! Hey Trip download that PTT app I sent you and send it to Brandon, it's pretty cool! Oh and me and the gf downloaded a video conferencing app that is cool as hell last night as well. Two cameras FTW!

So true. It's funny because the iPhone was themes advanced technology for such a long time, like two fucking years, and now every week a new badass phone comes out.

I think ill keep the Incredible and pass it down to the wife once her ATT contract runs out in Nov. Then I can get the new hawtness. By then phones will be able to give blowjobs.

Have you seen the size of the Droid X??? Its fucking huge. It would be almost uncomfortable to carry around in your pocket.

I hate pockets. I wear everything on my belt, like Batman. That size phone would be awesome for me.

but with it being rooted... I now can over clock or under clock my processor... so when I've got it on standby... I have it set to run at no more than 250mhz... or if the temp gets above 100F... if I'm using it at anything over 50% bat... it's over clocked to 1ghz. at 50% it drops to 600mhz

the processor is a 600mhz... Motorola under clocked it to 550... some nuts have them running at 1.3ghz!

but now with the phone at 250mhz at night... I can go 3 days with out charging if I only use it for calls now and again...

How do you like the performance post root? Worthwhile?

Shut down sync and background access, you'd be amazed how much juice it saves. I use the shit out of the stock power control widget

Hard to say because o don't know if the performance is because of the root and overclocking or because of froyo... I love the phone but there are some glitches and I have to reload the kernel from time to time... but that takes less than a min now that I'm rooted

Think I'll go to the official Froyo when it comes out... and wait for the root again

I went to Raleigh yesterday and we did a 4G test. My phone had 3G. At least 3x faster! Pandora started in about 2 secs, web pages in split seconds, etc. Of course, considering the fact that 4G is in so few areas, I'm not going to run out and get one yet but it's pretty amazing when you have it.

Is that the Nokia 100? If so that was my first phone. Everyone else had the Motorola flip phone but I didn't like them. The Nokia kicked ass. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I would have to buy a new larger battery to get the vibrate function. Brings back memories.

I think that has more to do with how fast the phone itself is, not necessarily the network. My Incredible on 3G loads Pandora instantly for example.
