I use mine all the time, but I can admit to myself that I can do without it as long as I have the nicer horizontal touch screen. That things alright...

Well well, it'd seem I (and Engadget) spoke too soon. Looks like the new Droid2 WILL have a 1.0ghz Snapdragon installed. NOW we're talkin...

yup i saw that..

Wait for that one if you're on Verizon - it'll be well worth it...

im gonna be waiting a long time anyway.. i got a 2 year contract renewal in april so unless i want to pay full price ( would never do that) i gotta wait what 18 months or something now :(

Well, its always possible to find a lightly used one on craigslist/ebay for ALMOST the same price as the contract renewal price, just because people want to hop to another carrier or get another phone.

I got a Blackberry Curve 8330 a year or so ago for cheap on there, and it was in great shape.

Saw that. Thats a BIG *** screen! I honestly dont feel you need one that big at all - it'll suck the CRAP out of your battery! I got 12 good hours of fair usage out of my Droid today, btw. My friends get **** on their EVO 4G's...

yea despite all my issues with the 2.1 update, the battery life is drastically improved from when i first got it from what i can tell. i'm still having the issue where it will randomly say the battery is dead. restarting fixes it every time but i wish i didn't have to restart it since it takes 2.36 hours to boot...

I bought the devour about a week ago, I like it but I am taking it back tomorrow and getting the incredible. Even though I will have to wait 2 1/2 weeks to get it I will just use a cheap phone in the mean time.

Good call :)

I am passed the 2 1/2 weeks and still no Incredible...

my friend w/ the red 350 nismo just got his today

I pre-ordered my Incredible and got it on release day. It's a great phone and have really enjoyed it.

Droid Incredible Snaps, Saves Pictures Of Your Browsing History

Droid Incredible users have found a truly incredible glitch on the HTC smartphone.

As Boy Genius Report writes, the Droid Incredible will snap screenshots of your browser--via the phone's Sense UI bookmarking widget--then store the pictures in its internal memory. Erasing those files isn't so easy. Those screengrabs of your online banking session or favorite porn site (for example) stick on the phone around even after a total factory reset.

Engadget explains, "Ending the browsing session, deleting your history, and even a full reset to factory settings failed to eviscerate the indiscreet imagery. You have to manually discover their location and delete them by hand."

BGR offers instructions on where you can find the images in order to erase them: "The JPEG files are saved to a folder named .bookmark_thumb1 which is located within the emmc folder of the phones internal storage (so you would expect a full factory reset to delete them). "

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/...y-htc-senseui/

I don't use the bookmark widget, but you can manually delete them when you connect the phone to the pc.

That ridiculously easy to fix, so I don't even know why they make it such a big deal to delete them...

In fact, with the potentially large amount of pictures to delete, I'd probably PREFER to delete it that way, anyway.

I don't have a Droid, just posting as an FYI. For tech people I'm sure that's easy to fix, but a huge portion of the general public doesn't have the first clue about such things. If you read through the comments there you'll see how many people don't have any idea how to delete them.

Steps in order:

1.) Connect USB cable from computer to phone
2.) Drag notification bar down, click USB notification, and then click "Mount"
3.) Go into the phone as if it was any other removable storage
4.) Find said directory, go into it, delete pictures. Voila.

It'd take 5 minutes max. I have no sympathy for the tech-less wonders - they can go buy iPhones and be happy.

LMAO, had to throw that in didn't ya? :nutswinger:

Took mine back 2 days ago and when they ordered the incredible they said second week of July. :excited::shakes head:

Hey, not everyone who owns an iPhone is tech-dumb. But a very large majority of them are haha.

Trust me, it'll be worth it lol.

Judging by the comments in the article I originally posted so are most people. :stirthepot:

lol...noob.

got to try out my friend's incredible over the weekend, it is VERY cool. feels very slick and not quite as clunky as my motodroid (no doubt from the faster processor). screen was very vibrant and the touch keyboard was very iphone-ish compared to mine, much more accurate, imo. i walked away very impressed. it's definitely the phone to get between the two for verizon. i don't feel the sudden urge to spend the coin to upgrade but this will probably be the last motorola phone i buy, looks like i'll get whatever the newest version of the incredible is when it's time for me to upgrade at the time :)

Actually that would be you, but I digress. Why does that make him a noob? :confused:

The Droid 2 will be out soon, which may eclipse the Incredible for all we know...especially w/ all the problems the HTC phones have had lately. Moto's been kicking out some nice hardware, lately!

looks like the Droid 2 is officially (atleast to me) "not that big of a deal" if you have droid...

now the droid X.. thats another story HDMI out and 720P video... thats cool.. only thing is i need to see it in person it looks really big

I agree, I will probably stay with my incredible. I honestly do not care about OC a darn phone if that is all he was really saying would improve or the speed. A computer yes but come on a phone.

The Droid X's official announcement is this week. I think it's Wednesday, but you may want to check phonescoop or engadget to double-check.

Meh, I disagree - my biggest complaint about the Droid is the fact that its slow, compared to all the nice Snapdragon-powered Androids out there. The LAST thing I care about is 720p/HDMI output haha. Thats what my HDMI-equipped laptop is for...

My mom is intending on getting an Android later this year. I'll probably have her get a Droid 2, give her the cash for it, and give her my Droid 1 in exchange (she doesnt need "snappy" - she'll just want the WiFi tethering found in 2.2). The 1ghz proc will be a nice upgrade in itself.

here is the multi tiuch keyboard form the droidX for droid 1 or incredible.. it works too

what do you have to do to install it matt? i've got it downloaded... just move it over to the phone? any particular place?

I have a storm 2, Is it worth dropping for a Droid or other verizon phone? I want an iphone but not willing to switch service, so just trying to get closest thing for now.

get the incredible

just go to that link with your droid, and DL it on your phone it will DL to the SD card and ask you if you want to install... say yes

then go to your email or whatever and change the input type to Multi Touch....

that simple

thanks :D

Of course the Droid phones are good lol.

Personally, if you need a keyboard, wait for the Droid 2. If you want something w/ a touch screen? I'd get an Incredible unless you MUST have a **** TON of screen real estate. In which case, get the Droid X...but that things battery life is going to suck, Im guessing.
