Official Android thread

cool, me and the gf got these i got the droid and she got the eris its def. takin me some getting used to considering i went from a pos lgvx8300 to this lol. but no complaints so far

That doesn’t answer my question. Does this apply to only new customers or new and existing customers signing up for 2 year contracts with data plans?

I saw that each phone has to have a 2 yr plan with data.

its for new and existing i got mine when i upgraded

Existing or new.
You have to extend both another 2 years.
You have to be on the same account.

Verizon is also changing data plans today.

You can also buy eris and get an eris. I think the $100 MIR expired yesterday or the 27th.

That applies to everyone. you need to sign a 2 year contract or pay full price for the phone.

there is a very fine point that needs to be pointed out here and that is EXISTING customers need to be eligible for an upgrade to receive the subsidy.

When you say eligible for the upgrade, you don’t mean the “oh you can upgrade today for an extra $20 but not with your NE2” right? If that’s the case then we’re both eligible in April or May.

i mean you need to be eligible to upgrade at a subsidy cost. whether you do it as an early (if you are allowed) or wait for a normal upgrade is something im not going to comment on.

he is correct i was eligible this month so they let me upgrade a few days early, i think if you upgrade now you would lose out on their 100 dollar rebate that they offer i think they call it their new every 2 or something like that

Yeah, I’m aware of the NE2. I’ll just go in again and ask them what’s the deal, see what they say.

Can’t wait for the verizon-Nexus One…mmmm

I am thinking about picking up the Eris this week. Not a fan of the slide out key board. How does everyone that has the eris like it?

Its between that and the crackberry tour or curve. any other suggestions?

I had the Blackberry Storm, and then Switched to the Blackberry Tour. Don’t get them if you use the internet, the Browser is VERY SLOW, other than that they are okay. I just picked up the Droid a couple weeks ago, and I really like it, and the Browser is 100 times faster.

Ummmm, where did my contacts go? I watched the guy load them and I even used a couple but now my phone says “you have no contacts to display”.
WTF?

sounds like possibly a gmail syncing issue? try pulling the battery?

Didn’t work. What is syncing anyway? My contacts were in my phone so why does it have to sync with something else? What is it syncing to/with?

did you add a gmail account to it? i’m really just tossing out ideas here, i havent done more than just play with one of these.

this happened to me. i think you have to go into the syncing settings and fuck around with it. there’s an option where you can display only contacts with phone numbers or some shit. if I remember, I’ll try and post up how I did it.

when you’re in the contacts area, hit the menu button on the bottom, and there will be a thing that comes up for display options and accounts. it’s one of those.

You rock! Thanks Dawn!

I didn’t realize you had to be in contact display settings, I kept going to just regular display settings.
