Once you manually type in a word, swype adds it to the dictionary.

Holy fuck it took me 5+ tries to type swype correctly.

I wouldn’t say droids screen is better tho…

Droid uses a LCD while incredible uses OLED, big difference if you compare them side by side, esp. in the sun.

While the droids screen is a hair bigger, and a hair more res, the incredible is far superior thanks to OLED.

yeah i know that there are a few that can do that like wavesecure, my gf just lost her droid and i have lookout on both of our phones and i thought there was an option to nuke the phone if lost but i guess i read it wrong. I used the gps thing to see where it was but its not accurate and the phone has to be on too. i set the phone to “scream” via lookout and they cant turn it off unless they turn the phone off, last time the phone was on it showed it was around the lockport area so someone has it

so let me get this straight…

Sprint is charging a $10 “4G tax”… plus $29.99 for mobile hotspot capability…

while not being in every city yet…

What are you Buffalo/WNY guys gonna do w/ no 4g coverage?
