@wolfpakt it's got gorilla glass which is pretty standard nowadays, it'll protect against most things but sand/gravel will still scratch it

I had read that on some website reviews, and read conflicting info on others. I suppose I was looking for real world experience since I haven't found definite info from Corning or Tmobile.

I read somewhere someone called samsung and confirmed, I've also held it along side a droid x, an incredible, and an evo 3D and the glass feels the same.
I rocked it without a screen protector for awhile with keys in my pocket and never got those tiny scratches other phones get. I use a protector now because i can still be scratched by a grain of sand, (sand= unfinished glass)
It came in today. The hinge for the screen seem quite sturdy.
Next question:
As a geek I have never really considered what a first time smartphone user would want by way of apps. I have on my short list:
1 lookout
2 rhapsody (I have an acct.)
3 zedge
4 hotmail
5 juice defender
Any other suggestions? (not games, she doesn't want the distraction)

Sent from my CM7.1 DARKSIDE glacier with the xda app.
no fm radio but u can use iheartradio to support raido stations and btw the music can be streamed (uses data ALOt) and it cna be toggled to download only via wifi and or select only certain songs out of your album
I would skip on the juice defender apps, they take up more resources than they save. Get the amazon marketplace cuz there's a free paid app every day, if you got cable there are apps to turn your phone into a remote (comcast or direct tv) definitely get an alternative browser like opera mini or firefox and set it as main. Qik video chat, pandora, that's all I can think of off the top of my head
Were can I get the apk for that market place

App Store as in total control of what is allowed, or as in porting apps?
The first one can be organized, the second one is probably impossible, you need to have the source code for the app..
I have an ipod touch but the Apple app store has far more games and things to entertain me... I'd rather just have everything on my phone instead of switching between the two. It's basically just easier if I could have my ipod games on my phone.

So basically what you are saying is because you're lazy, you want to argue with everyone about the virtues of taking restricted apps made for the iPhone and installing them on your Android phone, which would violate all the rules and copyrights from Apple?
It would probably be easier and take less effort to just buy yourself an iPhone or duct tape a phone to your iPod.
Yes

As I stated above:
It would probably be easier and take less effort to just buy yourself an iPhone or duct tape a phone to your iPod.
To be fair, the OP has a point.
As much as i hate apple (and love android) the Apple app store blows the Android Marketplace out of the water as far as games are concerned.
...but no, it's probably impossible.
I asked this question before I searched for stuff about it. It's impossible unless we could get the android to read and accept the idevice files. I am lazy and I don't like needing to switch between and ipod and a phone I love my phone but I like being able to play games

I see what you're saying, but if this were truly the case shouldn't Google be doing anything they can to provide media content in a legal manner to all of their customers? Yes, I've rooted my phone, and I would have gladly used the Google Movie service, but since they won't let me, I guess I know how I'll continue to get my movies... If anything this move pushes users back to piracy.
Lmao really? So because I have Google movies (which cost) your happy U didn't root? I have 87 movies between three sd cards but I have zero idea where I got them . Stock? Never again

alrighty got it its installed on the device im going to use for gps tracking.
Found a chest to use for it already cut down the lip of the chest so it can be sealed airtight. Cut 2 holes in it and wired and threaded the harness Added the weights to stabilize the payload. Its a very simple build tbh. Payload is going to be about 5.5 pounds
Also adding a Casio Camera to this that records in HD format so i can get some other angles.
and as far as helping goes. If we can accurttly project enough where it should land if theres anyone else that lives in california that would love to come help even if its for recovering it when done that wold be great .
looking at seeing if this will work and not interfear with the recording
