Alright guys, I got the EVO and I'm not gonna lie.  I don't like this thing.  I can't type on it at all.  I took it in to the Sprint store and we calibrated the keyboard.  No luck!  There are so many things I won't use this phone for.  The most important things to me are text, email and phone.  Two of those three I find very hard to do.  Any suggestions?  I am seriously ready to take this phone back and go back to my BB.

 :bang:

install Swype

Just installed Swype today and I'm very impressed.

I searched the marketplace for "Swype" and nothing.  :dunno:

Maybe it's not, I dunno :dunno:  I downloaded it once but then didn't have the energy to figure it out and erased it.  Maybe that was during Beta.

First, swype makes it much easier to type on the touch screen. Very worthwhile if you can find it, and free.

Also I am finding the public transport button for directions on navigator/google maps is very handy here in Chicago.

Just found that out in Chicago last weekend as well. Did you enjoy the car wreckage on Mich. Ave. for the Transformers 3 set? I did not.

swype is great. takes a little getting used to, but after a while of getting used to it you can really start to fly on the keyboard.

also using DolphinHD. haven't tried the opera browser yet.

I've been able to before. I could copy and paste the windows media link into one of the players I had for my Winmo phone a long time ago.

Hey clams, I think I'm gonna never let go of my $30 SERO plan. Any word on when fancy Blackberry 6.0 phones will be out?

Didn't bother me any, and my boys (6 and 9) thought it was really cool

They also had Bumblebee and another car there, but they had covers on them.  The other one was a red Ferrari, must be new for Transformers 3.

Is paying $6.99 better or worse than blowing someone?  Wunder Radio has an 810 stream, and I used to listen occasionally on the iPhone app (which I'm pretty sure was free at one point or I don't think I'd have it.)

Somebody be the guinea pig and see how will it works on Android.

Nope.

Is sleepfighter the daughter of any local judges? I mean, I'll do it and all...I just don't want it to negatively impact any mou or sj's or anything that could hurt the khatz. Mods?
