Droid

Has anyone seen the feature under contacts: "Chat using <client>"
Selecting it does nothing, downloaded a few messenger programs and they do nothing, is this a new feature that has not been taken advantage of yet?

yeah im not sure about that is it connected to the google talk chat app thats on the phone? i was wanting to use it but i wasnt sure how to add friends.. i assume they need to have gmail? i also downloaded a yahoo im app but its not connected to my contacts

Yeah I tried downloading direct apps, AIM/Yahoo/etc. and none worked.
I only have a few people on Gtalk and have not used the Talk program so maybe that is what it is for?
Overall I am really liking Android and still working on getting my life on it, more.

Have you guys used Pdnet to tether the droid to a laptop?
I did a demo and got speeds of 1.8 mbps which is not bad, I had this software when I was on a palm treo some years back.

Have had no need to, Trip. But, maybe in the future...

theDreamer · 03-10-2010, 07:56 PM

I downloaded, but rarely need to tether my laptop.
Usually only on trips, but will keep it on the phone for when the time is ready and report back.

Yea I'm sometimes stuck on the job on a New phone installation, and sometimes theres no network connections or while on lunch in a parking lot, this comes in handy, and the best thing is you only pay for it once.

thanks! great background!

i haz the MotoDroid too

i texted my friend that has the Nexus One about that issue MC, i'll see what he says when he replies. i haven't had any issues being able to read mine but i can understand how some would want to see the text a little larger or at least have the option

oh and not to sound too cliche'd, there may be an app for that lol

yeah i mean i dont have a problem with it i think the font is large enough,,, im not saying my moms old or anything its just she went from a flip phone to this and she isnt adjusting so well

she gets so many emails for her job she needs something she feels comfortable using

HKYStormFront · 03-16-2010, 04:42 PM

haha yea i wasn't gonna say she's getting old but when you posted that i started to wonder if my dear ol' dad is having problems with it as well, he just got a Droid about a month ago. he came from a BB tour though (and an HTC Diamond before that) so at least he was somewhat familiar with the idea of a smartphone. if my mom, on the other hand, got a Droid........ her head would explode lolz
