GET YOUR APPLE CRAP OUTTA HERE, Lol
but yea if you have Wifi teather as USB is not an option for Such a well built device. You can get it some where around here if you don't have it now.
EDIT: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Also no there is not Extra price for Tethering, I have Sprint and have never had a problem. If you want to get better speeds right now Sprint is advertising their Overdrive for 3G and 4G speeds.

we don't like the word apple round here. apple + android = fail!

But Orange is alright

oxymoron
jk. just make sure you have unlmt data...

I'm doing that exact thing. I have not been charged (or even arrested). =P

Also, yes it does work. Works quite well actually. I got to play with a few yesterday morning before the store opened. They're nice, and I was going to pick one up, but instead I left with a couple thousand dollars worth of speakers.

This is exactly why I can't justify buying the 3G model

Thanks for the reoplies Btw apple plus android best equals best of broth worlds

Seriously, why would you buy an iPad when it is basically a slate tablet PC that does not allow you to download anything besides app store software and only stuff that carries a higher price than the same iphone apps. Don't tell me you believe that line of BS that they need to charge more for apps because the ipad has a higher resolution. Throw in the lack of gps and 3g on the current model and you have a big loser, IMHO.

If you bought an iPad, wouldn't it get really red-stained after a while? It's just a giant iPod Touch that goes onto a vajay-jay.

Very classy.

I used to think the same
I used to think the same, but not anymore. I am a PC guy, and have been for the last 15+ years. I just recently bought the iPad 2. My fiirst one! I actually got it on release day and HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN SINCE THEN! I used to have the same misconception: a gigant ipod. To me is more like a ipod/kindle/iphone/netbook/movie-music-application-gaming center. It does not replace a pc. (It was never intended to do) But it is definitely a gadget that you must try if you call yourself a geek or a "tech-guy". I love the portability and battery life!! After the Ipad I waited for the non-apple community to release something worth trying. And what did they give us?...a Galaxy Tab. *giggles* So I decided to give Apple a try, and I must say i wish i would of purchased the Ipad the first day it came out. Now Im here eating my apple ipad funny comments but happy i gave it a chance.

I still wish our heros would tether to ps3s

[Q] Which AT&T Smartphone Should I get for Christmas.

I need to upgrade my current phone and I was wondering what any of you recommended if you have any experience with the windows phone 7 phones vs. their android models. I'm 16, I text a lott it's probably what I use my phone for most and swype is a godsend for me, but I need an mp3 player really badly and I would like my phone to function as one as well, also I want to get a nice case for it so that if I drop it a few times it doesn't break. I tested out the captivate for a week and it was amazing, but I'm into changing the roms and all that fancy stuff so if I did get a windows phone 7 do they have the ability to put android on it and vise-versa, is windows mobile 7 laggy like windows mobil 6.5 on my old fuze?
Some models I'm specifically looking at are the HTC Surround (win mo7), Samsung Captivate, Samsung Focus, LG quantam.
I can get each phone for about $150 so price isn't really an issue.

Guess it really depends... Have you been naughty or nice this year?
If you absolutely have to have swype, go for the captivate. WP7 doesn't have it and there's no indication that it will in the future as of yet. It is really easy to type on the Focus's screen (doing it right now), but if you really like swype, that's where you're at.
The Zune software in WP7 is great for playing mp3's. Don't really know what Android has, but I can say that the Zune software is nice.
No, WP7 hasn't been cracked open to flash custom roms, or run Android. If you really wanna do things like that, go for the captivate. However, as ardent a flasher as I have been with my Tilt2, it was all to get it to run right. WP7 is effortlessly fast right out of the box. The captivate needs to be tweaked to remove the lag and stutters. There is no lag on my Focus.
Merry Christmas!

I'm going to the AT&T store today, I'll probably test demo both of the samsungs and make my decision in there.

go for an iphone 4. at&t and iphone 4 works well together.

I'd go for a Focus. The new Motorola phone looks really nice too and its cheaper, mid-pack. I forget what it's called though.

Go for samsung captivate.

I have both an iphone 4, and a captivate.
If you want something thats going to work perfect out of the box get the iphone 4 and an ottorbox case.
If you want a real phone, get the captivate.

Samsung Captivate
MP3/Music: The 5.1 stereo in the built in music player sounds really good. The music player that comes with the stock Captivate is comparable to any of the music player apps you'll find.
For texting, you'll probably want to install SMS Popup, or Handscent.
It takes great pictures and video - BUT has no built in flash.
Mine is rooted, OCLF lag fix, and hacked for sideloading apps. Also Titanium Backup on a rooted device will allow you to remove the AT&T bloatware. (I recommend freezing apps for a week before removing them - just in case other apps are dependent on them)
I really love my Captivate. I might be a lucky one because I've never had any GPS lock problem, random shutdown problem etc that many others have complained about. Mine runs EXCELLENT!

My question is Why are you going for AT & T specifically? Why not Verizon or any other?

Walmart's got the captivate for $69 with your contract.

That's the same price my little brother told me they are in stores. That price I listed was for online. Either way, lot of phone for that price I'd say.
And I also noticed that ATT sells refurbs for $10, but are out of stock.

Call At&t 611. They have different stock than the website and usually have the phone you want when the website sells out. Prices may be.different though.

best phone I've ever owned.

Galaxy s 4g

So I have a nexus right now and been yearning for something new for a fee months. I am on t mobile and eligible for a new phone. I actually want a dual core phone but I'm feeling so impatient. And if this phone is coming out now I doubt t mobile will release something better for atleast a few more months after that. So I would be able to get it for 150 on contract. I might be able to sell my nexus for like 250 so I wont be spending any money on that upgrade. Now, my other option is getting an atrix unlocked for full retail price of 500 and use it on t mobile. I don't want to leave to t mobile I like it for some reason. Even though I could get 15 percent off any carrier. But that aside what do you guys think. Because another option also is then sell the s 4g and buy the next good phone falt out and I might end up just paying a difference of 200 or something.

I would wait for galaxy s 2. My N1 can wait another 6 month. I am sure it will be by mid summers.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I can't wait that long damn. I'm desperate already.

Same here, I really want to get another phone on T-Mobile. Personally, I'm not a fan of Samsung, if I had to get one, I'd get the Nexus S (at least the software is managed by Google). Try flashing a custom ROM or something if you haven't already to breath some new life into your phone. I think I'd be worth the wait for something like the LG Optimus 2x/3D or the HTC Pyramid.

Yea I rooted my phone first week I got it. But its been a year already. I would like the optimus but didn't it come out in Europe like a month ago?

Samsung phones look like they were bought from the dollar-store ... just get an HTC/LG

The Galaxy S2 comes out in Europe in February/March. IMO the Atrix will be better, but meh. The LG Optimus 2X also looks very good.

i'm actually sort of in the same boat. i broke my n1 a month ago, and wasnt planning on getting anything new til the optimus or the pyramid.
but now i'm tired of using my HD2 with android, and wanting to get something immediately. cant decide between g2/myt4g or the 4gvibrant. i'm sort of leaning towards the vibrant but the lack of a trackpad or flash is the only thing that is making me hesitate.
i'm also definitely buying the pyramid whenever it comes out, this phone would essentially just be tiding me over till then.

I was in the same boat as well. I wanted to wait for the dual cores before buying a brand new phone so I decided to look for an HD2 to put Android on. It took about two weeks of Craigslist hunting before I got a good deal on one(190 with all the original access. including 16gb sd). I'm running a gingerbread rom on this thing and love it plus it will be pretty easy to get my money back for it in a couple months when the new phones start to hit.

Wait for next generation of nexus...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Dam I think I should wait a little more. The s4g is such a small update that I would be wasting my eligibility for something like it. And hd2? Naw I put android on it for my gf and I much rather have my nexie.

Going to Galaxy Nexus after Having Droid Charge

Just wanted to post my experience and hear of others that are also making the move.
Now I may have a totally different view than most, but Overall, this phone was pretty awesome. First I had a G1 on T-Mobile. The excitement of learning Android and having the first phone was fun. I've been fortunate to be involved in every dessert update. Finding XDA, rooting, learning ADB, all the learning of all the other stuff was awesome. Then I jumped ship and got the Droid Eris. Now shortly after getting it, I regretted the hell out of my decision. I should have gotten the OG Droid. But XDA helped me love my phone. Cyanagen, and other ROMs were awesome, and the Eris forum and developers were funny and friendly. Then with 2 months left in my contract and waiting for the Droid 3 to come out, I won the Droid Charge in the droid landing contest. I enjoyed the 4g fastness and tried to keep things stock, but I keep lingering on XDA and finally gave in. I couldn't believe how easy it was to Root and flash this phone. With that, I spent less time in this forum and didn't really post much. I purchased the TBH app leaks and didn't really come by and participate. But I will say that this phone at first was great, but really is a disappointment. Great cause the SCREEN, the easiness of rooting and flashing, and that's about it. The 4G never works when you need it the most. Don't get me wrong. When it works, its amazing! But those times it freezes and then goes to 3g then goes back and freezes, etc...RAM was not enough to do all this phone is trying to do. And of course the battery, but that's universal.
Now, I've sold my charge and have a prepaid VZW card for $300 ready to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus. My contracts is up, and I still have a new every 2 credit. I look forward to the excitement and fun experienced with the G1. This is a whole new OS, and I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in the XDA forums. I'm in total love with ICS. I was not disappointed at all with ICS. The hardware of the Nexus, um maybe, but you gotta be real picky. I think this is a phone I can finally have for 2 years and be happy with the whole time. Quad core phones next year, then by 2013 maybe HD projection phones. But this phone should be able to stand up to most competition till then. Hope it gets all the updates, and quickly. Jellybean?

I've got my money ready for the 10th.
I really dig my Charge, but I've been waiting for a pure AOSP experience on Verizon for far too long.

Isn't anybody ever happy with anything? Is nothing good enough? ICS and the first phone to carry it were just announced not even 24 hours ago and you already want Jellybean on the phone? Good grief.

I want it for the ICS and dual core. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it or not though. Can't really blame ya for wanting to jump since it is such a bada** phone in specs. I'm kinda so-so with my Charge.

LOL...I think my post got misread by yourself, or mistyped by me. What I was referring to is that I plan on keeping this phone for 2 years. I'm hoping that in the 2 years, what ever updates that happen to come out, the Nexus gets them quickly. Then I put jellybean with a "?" thinking maybe if in that time it would get it. Like I posted above, I'm in love with ICS and would be fine having it for 2 years. But we all know that google updates pretty quickly. I have no idea what they could add, cause ICS is great, but when it's(JB) announced, we're all gonna want it, and soon. Just like ICS, GB, FY, ECL, DN, and Cupcake. Ahh, Cupcake.
Man, I remember waiting for Cupcake and wanting it so bad. Touchscreen keyboard, widgets, and record/playback video.

Doing this too. I paid full price for my charge since my contract wasn't up, but it is now. So hopeing to use that 50%-60% that I'm supposed to get back to buy the Galaxy Nexus. Now watch them not carry it >.<

Kind of in the same boat. I'm just not sure I can deal with this phone for 2 years. I've looked around a bit to see what I can get for it plus the stuff I got for it. I'm more interested in the Droid Razr, but regardless I don't know if I can justify that kind of cost.

Bye Bye Birdy

If you are like me and don't like threads saying bye to the sub-forum because the user is changing devices feel free to skip the whole rest of this. I usually don't like those threads either.
However, with tongue firmly planted in cheek:
I'm ditching this Droid Charge because:
It didn't wash the windows
It didn't bring about world peace (yes that comes after washing the windows. I likes some clean windows, I do.)
It didn't feed the hungry or clothe the nekked...and man some of those ugly people need some clothes! Why won't this phone stop the insanity?
It didn't provide notifications while the sender was typing the message or before. Really, I would have rather had the notification before the sender woke up that day.
The voices in the phone kept talking to me and I didn't like what they had to say. "If you would like to make a call..."
I couldn't find the Any Key. Hell, I couldn't find any keys period. There were a couple of buttons, but no keys. How the hell am I supposed to open locks without any key?
The battery wouldn't charge itself. I mean, come one. Why is this too much to ask? I just want a phone that absorbs energy from the room...preferably from iPhones. I'd love it if my friend's iPhones batteries would die even faster when my phone was in the room. The OEM developers really dropped the ball on this one.
All kidding aside: This Droid Charge hasn't been stable since I got it. It was 10x better than the Fascinate garbage I came from. I've loaded ROM after ROM and some work better than others. All of them are better than the stock experience and the XDA / RootzWiki developers have my thanks for their help and time. I've had stability problems from day one and even once I'd get them ironed out stability problems would come back regardless of kernel. I've reloaded the PIT and stock ROMS plenty of times. I haven't overclocked or undervolted and this thing acts like I'm running an aggressive scheme.
So, I'm jumping ship to the Droid Razr Maxx. It will be here on Tuesday. Maybe I can sell this thing on eBay for a few bucks with the docks and extra batteries. I didn't want a Motorola phone, but I haven't been impressed with the chances I've given Samsung, so time to try something new. I'm glad that the Droid Razr Maxx has the Super AMOLED screen.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

I envy you....i will wait one year with the phone before i start harrassing vzw for an early upgrade.
Droid Charge 4G LTE

I've been looking myself as well for an upgrade too but my official upgrade doesn't come for another year. My line isn't the "master line" in the family plan that my line is part of. Also, I think we got the family plan after they stopped offering early upgrades for the "master line."
So that means I do one of the following...
Hit up eBay and see if I can get a phone there at a decent price. I'm hoping I can snag a Galaxy Nexus but some of the prices for those phones are going ridiculously high.
Save up and buy the phone at full price.

I had to sat good bye also. Didnt have an upgrade so paid retail for 2 razr maxx. It has been the best phone to date for me atleast. Stock or Rooted it is a great phone and havent had a complaint. By the way I have 2 charges for sale with extras if anyone interested.

Congrats on being able to switch. We all should expect/own a phone that works. For some, the Charge fits the bill. Unfortunately, for others, the Charge is plagued by many flaws.
Personally, I'm waiting for CTIA(and whenever Samsung's event is) to see what's available for Verizon. I have an early upgrade available, but I'll wait it out.

Well everyone that said that their gps worked for them no problem it never worked for use. It took forever. When my wife travels she takes enough stuff with her and needed something that worked. With the maxx we got everything we needed. A phone that locked on within 30 seconds, battery life that is incredible. Most everything we needed was there. People will say buy used. With new we get a warranty and the assurion protection. These can be used for a write off as a business expense.

Scored a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for $400 on Craigslist. I already verified the ESN with Verizon and they say that the ESN is clean. In an hour or so I'm going to be going with a friend of mine to go pick the phone up in a Verizon Retail Store to have the phone checked out by a Verizon store representative as well as activate it on my account.
It has been a nice ride with the Droid Charge but it is time to move on and getting a Galaxy Nexus for $400 is like a dream come true. It is a steal of a deal.

We will definitely miss you... you've been 1 of the better ones around here for a long time.... you have helped more people than I can count... enjoy your new phone you deserve it...

I wouldn't buy moto personally, others seem to like it and from the looks of it it's really smooth. After playing with my moms droid 4, it seems blur makes everything difficult and things aren't as easy to set\ find things (probably been on touchwiz too long and need to explore others). My sister likes her droid 3 and my mom loves hers D4, I hope you will too with the MAXX. Good luck, enjoy that awesome machine!

By the looks of how technolgy for android is acknowledging upgrading our batterys to high mah batterys it seems more of these companys will follow motos lead. Especially since 4g practically destroys these batterys. By the time I have a upgrade devices with quad core and better batterys should be available. Kinda worth the wait.
