So, they finally added this function just recently.  Sounds like Apple.  Which was my original point.  Because the reason they didn't have it before was that they tried to make it so rough ridin' user friendly.

Anyone who uses google as home page change it to www.ecozi.org

I was skeptical at first but have noticed better battery life.

In first half of 2011 Wichita getting Verizon LTE but not KC

http://phandroid.com/2011/01/17/49-new-lte-markets-for-first-half-of-2011-named-by-verizon/

Was told by Verizon store person that the thought is Manhattan will get it in about a year.  Of course, the knowledge of store people is often questionable, but it sounds about right.

sprint adding +$10 charge/month to their 3G data plans at contract renewals.  4g people will pay the same as 3g.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

I want to root my phone, but I'm waiting on Gingerbread so I don't have to keep messing with it.

I'd just like to add that Sprint keeps sending me refund checks for like a couple bucks every few months, I dunno why.  It's kinda awesome cashing them, though.
Where did you get that overnight bag?

My app updates are pissing me off.  About half the time I update an app it fails and fucks up my phone.  I have discovered that if I un-mount the SD card and then update the app it works but it is an unholy pain in the ass to do this every time.  I've been waiting for gingerbread hoping it would fix this.   :dubious:

Had this happen to me a while back.  Fixed it by renaming (or deleting) the android_secure folder on the root of your SD card. After that, all my updates worked without problems.

Yesterday there was a rumor that google would release their music service. I was hoping it was true. Oh well.
