i found this app which i like…it seems pretty useful…its called “Key Ring” and what it is is you can scan the barcodes on all your little cards you have on your keychain or in your wallet (ex: price chopper advantage card, dick’s scorecard, etc.) and it saves them in your phone… and anytime you go to one of these stores you can whip out your phone open up the app and open up that card you want to use, and it has a barcode that the person at the register can scan with one of those handheld scanner things and it works just like the card itself! no more fumbling thru your keys or wallet looking for your discount card!

i just think thats nice…that is all…

Just got my droid x and the only thing i don’t like is that the browser doesn’t “reset”. So if i do my banking or anything i can logout bit i can’t close the browser so when i go back into it, it brings me to.the last page. Is there a way to automatically open the home page when i open the browser or a new browser app that will actually close when i leave it?

I must say that I love this phone. There are a few things that suck about it (ad banners, apps that cannot be removed without rooting, etc) but I like it so far. I also just activated the ability for it to be a 3g hotspot ($20/month) and I’m giving it a pretty good run through. The wife is playing one of her facebook games while I watched a youtube video and the speed seems to equal to if not better than my roadrunner. I may end up keeping this and cancelling my roadrunner since this will be cheaper ($40/month for both phones so wifey can use hers when I’m at work) and I can use it no matter where I am which is pretty awesome.

I just use Wireless Tether for Root Users, I refuse to pay $20/month to use the data I already pay for… It takes literally 2 minutes to root the phone.
