...the only EVO i'd ever own

[PoorManQ45]

Considering these all use relatively the same, I wonder what you'll be able to overclock the Evo and Incredible to.

I know the Nexus one has been overclocked to 2Ghz+ and the Droid to ~1.2GHz. They're all pretty awesome.

I'm running an "old" MyTouch right now. It took me about a month to get used to not having a keyboard, but now I actually type faster without it. I think the issue is that all the keyboards on phones suck!

My brother has the EVO and I played with it a little this weekend. Absolutely sick! Its such a powerful phone. Im sure in no time ill give in and get me one

[WDRacing]

Man I am low-fn-tech when it comes to phones. I was happy when I got one that popped out into a full keyboard. I think last year was the first year I ever willingly texted someone. I guess if I wanted to spend the cash for a baller account I'd look at things differently.

Doesn't using all of the apps these things are capable cost lots of $$$? Like bandwidth charges and whatnot? I'd be on the pronz 24/7 if I had the access.

[PoorManQ45]

No, you get an unlimited bandwidth account.

I currently pay $70 for unlimited everything on Tmobile.

I've been considered MetroPCS(local provider) as they can do everything for $50 a month.

Most providers offer an unlimited data package. I pay $25/month for unlimited data and 400 texts on top of basic voice charges, so it's not bad. I don't even use the texts, but for some reason the data+text package was $5 cheaper than just data.

AT&T is actually DOING AWAY with their unlimited data option, though. You'll be able to keep it if you have it, but new contracts will be stuck with one of two limited-data packages, both of which suck...and both of which charge $10 extra for each 1GB you use past your limit. It's either $15 for 200MB (useless) or $25 for 2GB. Which is also useless for anyone who actually USES the internets on their phone.
Most providers don't suck like AT&T though.

[RobPaulson]

yar since i have an unlocked N1 i only pay $60/mnth for 500mins and unlimited data and texts.

even tho the service isnt as good, you at least i'm getting what i paid for. with ATT, i was paying $100/mnth for less texts and throttled data (PHUK YOU ATT THROTTLING MY YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE SERVICES!!!!!!) and i dropped 1/2 the calls i made, which werent many.

[PoorManQ45]

Limited data sucks.

Hell, on Edge with one bar I used 300MB tethered to my laptop! LOL

I still don't have a google voice number. If I did I would drop unlimited talk and text and do all that over data through google voice.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

I just got my HTC Incredible yesterday and it is pretty sweet. The only complaints I have so far is the really crappy battery life. The HTC keyboard is a little difficult to get used to coming off an iPhone 3G and a Bold 9700. I also expected the phone to be lightning fast but it can lag a little at times. Also, AMOLED sucks balls outside, it's completely pointless unless you're a vampire.

You want one? I still have all of my invites left.

I read about this yesterday, I laughed quite a bit. I can't believe that they're this freakin stupid to do something like this, AT&T's unlimited plan was already ridiculous but this is just retarded. Along with all the dropped calls I had and never hardly being able to get 3G, i'm so glad we switched to Sprint. We save $30 a month and get way more for our money compared to AT&T, plus tons better coverage so far. I can't believe they think these 2 new plans are really going to bring in more customers, although i'm sure that some people think it will be plenty I would eat 200mb up in a day or so and 2GB would be gone in just over a week. Well good luck to AT&T in their race to being surpassed by 2 cans and a string connected together.

Search the market for keyboards. There are tons of alternative keyboard options, and some of them try to emulate the iphone's style. I use Smart Keyboard Pro.

I'd friggin' love a google voice invite.
I've got some Wave invites left if you want one in exchange.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Just let me know where to send it. I've got Wave as well but I don't think I've spent more than two minutes on it.

[Koshin]

i do not believe it to be an issue of keyboard design, from what i can tell... and this is just a theory of mine... the android OS has issues with multi-touch, not only it's smoothness with zoom/etc, but also when you are typing fast and ur fingers overlap 2 keys at once.

i have downloaded a HTC_IME (the senseUI keyboard), swype, and a few others, and they all seemed extremely awkward coming from an iphone. on the iphone u can just slam away and it resolves all the same-touch conflicts, but android seems to get hung up on them.

and to expand on that a bit... swype is flip'n sweet LOL, while i dont use it all the time, it is very cool to play with. i am currently running a custom HTC_IME fight club themed keyboard W00T @ XDA FORMUS!!!

Download Overclock from the market. It's free.

Set the screen off speed as low as you can on minimum, and two steps up for maximum. When I'm done using my phone I put it to sleep right away. I've noticed my battery life went from about a day of light use to ~2~3 days of light use.

[AppleBonker]

Well, since it was posted, I've got 3 google voice invites as well. Don't know anyone else that really wants one, so if any NICO people want one feel free to PM me.

Yes, of course.

HTC phones have lots of problems with the operating systems on them.

I assure you that you will have to re-start your phone at least once a day, probably more.

[Koshin]

I already have to reset the Whackberry all the time...the newest software update helped a little.

Im not impressed with my first Blackberry...I had a Palm Treo prior to the BB. I loved it

I think Ill like the EVO though....we will see tomorrow
