well its prtty much the same device plus some improvements so really no big loss for verizon. I just dont see the point of a cdma n1 with the evo coming to sprint. ---

I just switched over to handcent…they could use some more conversation themes but it works nice. If you’re the type that doesn’t like spending time customizing a program, stick with the default app. I also have the power widget installed on my third screen, so I can turn bluetooth on or off quickly as well as wifi. I keep my screen dim, unless I’m using the GPS, or some other function that benefits from a nicely lit screen. ![http://www.funtechtalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/droid-widget-big.jpg](http://www.funtechtalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/droid-widget-big.jpg) ---

> [@brent\_strong](#): > > Just installed Advanced Task Killer. OMG nice. Took me from ~25mb free to 115 free. I’d imagine my battery life is going to be WAY better. be careful with the task killer…these can start to close out programs that need to be open for things to work. ive seen people have issues, including myself, where no calls come in, not getting any texts or voicemail. So just keep an eye on that. ---

I don’t actively run the task killer. I just open it up and kill off the programs I dont want running, then I kill off the task manager itself. ---
