I downloaded the free Wifi app that turns my wifi on and off by touching the button instead of digging through menus.

Except for figuring out how to install my own custom made ringtones and assigning a few bookmarks to the browser I haven't done any heavy lifting with mine just yet.

My buddy sent me that link a few minutes ago, their instructions on setting up your own file structure on the SD card worked for me, I have all my custom ringtones loaded as people's personal sounds.

i noticed that all you have to do is really toos it over and it sorts itself out on its own really...

biggestmexi · 11-06-2009, 06:12 PM

paulisded · 11-06-2009, 06:24 PM

I'm waiting for work to end so I can totally engulf myself into this phone...including the loading and editing of ringtones.

biggestmexi · 11-06-2009, 06:36 PM

paulisded · 11-06-2009, 07:03 PM

Ok, here's a question. I don't want alerts whenever I receive emails but I do want them for texts. Is this possible?

Death Metal Moe · 11-06-2009, 07:05 PM

You video kinda creeped me the fuck out. I feel like you just edited out the part where you turned around to show the person duct taped to an office chair, trying to scream through a rag for help.

Hit "Car Home." It's a nice interface for those search, navigation and map type apps.

Check out Google Sky Map for a nice Augmented Reality app.

Anyone figure out a way to do XM on Android yet? And I want Flash on it so I can watch Hulu on the go.

Jon, there is a flash player in the app store.

Edit: Never mind, as the comments reveal that it's "useless".

I did download tv.com, which is the site owned by CBS to play some of their (and Showtime) programming.

biggestmexi · 11-07-2009, 10:41 AM

lol gmote is pretty fun to use for wireless keyboard

paulisded · 11-07-2009, 02:50 PM

After being frustrated by the awful twitter apps, I found this 3rd party store (http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/!index) and downloaded Swift.

biggestmexi · 11-07-2009, 03:39 PM

Where were you? We need to know!

biggestmexi · 11-07-2009, 06:37 PM

I got a new droid today......oh well...

biggestmexi · 11-07-2009, 06:38 PM

Oh and how do I get off this damn mobile sight...also the key pad isn't bad if you have fingernails

Tenbatsuzen · 11-07-2009, 06:51 PM

I played with the Droid for a second time today.

the keypad sucks. Flat keys and no room on the top row is just bad news.

I think I'm gonna go with the ENV3 with mobile web and the Ipod Touch...
