I wish I could trade in my X somewhere when the Thunderbolt comes out. ---

Yeah I’ve been an Nvidia fan for years, the Tegra 2 is B.A. ---

I am going to be buying a used droid soon I think and I am trying to choose between the incredible (which I already owned and loved), Droid X, and Samsung Fascinate. I am interested in everyones opinions etc. I am leaning towards the incredible because I already had one and I have an extra battery which would be kinda nice. Thanks for your input. ---

I finally jumped into running a custom rom a couple of days ago. Holy hell it’s like a new phone. Ever since the last official update my X has crashed frequently and chewed through the battery like me through a trash plate. > **[DROID X ROM: Liberty by Kejar and JRummy](http://www.droid-life.com/2011/01/12/droid-x-rom-liberty-by-kejar-and-jrummy/)** > > Two beasts in the DROID ROM community partnered up to release something new that I'll be recommending for all Droid X and Droid 2 owners. The ROM is called Liberty and it comes from Kejar31 and one of our all time favs, JRummy16. The base for this... Way faster, better battery life, bye bye motoblur, etc. I highly recommend it for all the X or Droid 2 owners. ---

Can anyone recommend a good android phone for sprint? It needs to be 3g so I don’t get the additional charge of the 4g phones. This BB Tour sucks, and needs to go. I really like the droid pro, but Sprint doesn’t have it. ---

I held out forever on the EVO due to the $10 per month and finally caved a few months ago. After a $100 walmart rebate card I got the phone for $25 and couldn’t pass it up. I’m not sorry I sucked it up. Of course I get a 19% discount because of my employment so… 8) I finally rooted. Any suggestions on what ROM is king? ---

Hmm so I rooted, installed superuser, and bootstrap then did the backup with bootstrap and wiped it and loaded the liberty rom I notice it seems really really slow to charge. I also still use launcher pro because its much smoother and faster than liberty or stock launcher ---

Yes, but I gave it a full charge today and notice it lasting quite well without the bloatware. We’ll see how it is for a week or so ---

^download a screen shot app from the market… there are a ton. If i had an idea for an application, how difficult is it to code? or whats the range to have a coder do it… Id imagine it will be huge, but lets say a game like angry birds? and then lets say a search engine type of tool? 500? 5000? 50,000? etc etc. Clearly I’ve done zero research… just have some ideas bouncing around in my head. ---
