just tried out Websharing and its great for transferring files from your phone to computer

Logmein ignition works really well with my logmein.com computerrs. Obviously not really like using a mouse but still very neat.

oh wow i didnt know there was a beta out nice, i have been using PhonemyPC and that works great too

anyone here use your android phone with a corporate gmail app account? (ie: google.com/a)

my work switched over from exchange to gmail app and while gmail still works great on my bb, im considering switching to an android phone

everything i’ve read leads me to switching, but i’d like someone with some first hand knowledge to post up their experience

i have no comment about the corporate email account thing… but as far as the rest of this phone goes, it is INCREDIBLE.

:rimshot:

so the incredible is cooler than the moto droid? frick.

it looks like the only difference is the 8MP camera?

Sure its the only difference is the camera… and the 1ghz processor, and higher resolution screen which is oled more memory. There may be more but no its not similar other than the fact it runs android OS.

Ghost it does gmail as well as any phone I have used but my corporate exchange account has to be deleted once every few days for some reason.

Can you get swype on the moto Droid ?

unofficially, yes

I actually just tried this because I’ve heard of it a bit. Its pretty awesome

Android forums are blowing up with issues with the Incredible. Hopefully a software update can fix some of the problems people are having.

I’m not really finding any major issues other than my exchange address stop syncing. Battery life is a little short but everything else rocks.

i might have to wait on the incredible and get the htc evo 4g when it comes out in the summer

The thing about that phone is it a bit bigger. I also don’t see 4g coming here for another year.

Just picked up my first android device:


lulz

It was my graduation present. It’s pretty cool. Already had its first OTA firmware upgrade. :tup:

Love it just waiting a bit before I buy one.

I finally talked work into replacing our WinMo phones with Droids woot

Swype is the shit but it wont let me curse lol. Had to type in"shit" manually.

anyone have the backflip from at&t?
if you do likes? dislikes? reasons to get it? reasons not to?

do not have but dislikes are keyboard is exposed all the time, runs the Motoblur Android skin. This take on the Android OS eschews the standard, grid-like home screen in favor of a widget-based user interface. On the bright side, these widgets are customizable and run the gamut in terms of functionality: News, weather, search and a bevy of social networking sites are all fair game. Unfortunately, running more than a handful of these widgets simultaneously proves problematic. Not only does the Backflip’s 528-MHz processor start to get sluggish, but the on-screen presentation of simultaneously updated feeds from Facebook/Twitter/E-mail/Text/Weather/RSS is of location-aware, real-time data. It’s just too much. also it comes with android 1.5 but motorola says it will be updated to 2.1 at some point

wait for the samsung galaxy it is way better
