You will be able to install it on NEW phones designed for Android and unlocked. It won't be for existing phones.

| Re: Just a phone ... Your response brought to light how automakers are throwing in all kinds of crap into cars such as MP3 players, Bluetooth devices, etc.
Like you, I just want a car that is good at being a car and not a mobile entertainment center....like there isn't enough ON THE ROAD to distract you. Now you have additional crap in your car to do it!

| Re: Just a phone ... Amen, what every happened to a vehicle being a vehicle. I thought that the primary reason for a vehicle was to get from point A to point B as safely as possible. The MP3 players, Bluetooth devices, etc., and texting, talking and, probably, watching video's on the iPhone, GPhone, whatever, don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling when driving down the road. And yeas I only want a phone that can send and receive calls. | |
|
| | | Whenever the Verizon Wireless guys ask me "What do you want your phone to be able to do?", I always answer "Make calls." Everything else, to me, is icing on the cake.
However, I've come to expect one more thing from my cell phone: openness. Ideally, I'd like to take an MP3 that I've made and upload it to my phone by myself to set as a ringtone. I'd also like to be able to import/export contacts and download any photos/videos that I took. My previous phone (LG VX8100) let me do that via BitPIM, but apparently Verizon locked down my new phone (VX8350) so that BitPIM can't work with it. Instead, they want me to pay them $2 each for ringtones from VCast.
Thank goodness for MyxerTones.com. | |

Amen!
I am so over the "cool phone crowd" and the smaller is better, and can't have antenna, and has to flip open, or slide, or flip up or some other drivel...
Bring back The Brick! Long live the UHC8000.

1 edit | I barely use my cell phone as a phone. I realized what I wanted most was something with a qwerty keyboard and net access, hence my purchase of a Sidekick. It's not the best, but it is the cheapest way to accomplish what I want. It's not bad as a phone, either.
The iphone's lack of a keyboard disqualifies it completely, IMO, to say nothing of the price. | |

| | | | | Re: Here comes Android said by Transmaster:I have always thought the Daleks look like salt and pepper shakers. Do you think that is the two sex's for Daleks. Trnasmaster, you are correct. The first Daleks were born when the salt and pepper shaker fell into the sink, as well as the toaster and laptop (the toaster and laptop were connected into the same extension cord). After the laptop and toaster hit the water, the force on the extension cord pull the salt and pepper shaker into the water. After a loud explosion and failure of a surge protector, the Daleks were created.
The pepper Dalek died because there was no way for the pepper inside to fuse and create a circuit. The salt shaker Now that is a different story. The salt fused and the water created just the proper etching to make a simple, self thinking circuit. Over time, the first Dalek became tired of just sitting on a table. One day, a human decided to use the Dalek as a salt shaker, when nothing came out, the human tried to rip its head off. Oh...that was a bad thing to do. This was where the hate between humans and Dalek's began. This, my friend, was the first human to be killed by a Dalek.
The salt Dalek, stil morning the short life of his pepper Dalek brother, swore he would kill all humans for their ignorance. After many years, the first Dalek grew in multitude.
There is a moral to this story: When your out to eat, and the salt isn't coming out of the salt shaker, "DON'T SLAM IT ON THE TABLE EXPECTING TO LOOSEN THE SALT"! Muhhhhhh, muhhhhh, muhhhhhhhhhh! | |

G-Phone. They should pack in a super vib into the thing then they can market it to women with a slogan such as "Stimlate your g-spot with the new G-Phone."
To most they will hear Java and start looking for Starbucks.
What can this phone do that you can not currently develop on Windows Mobile? I am sorry, but Windows Mobile has pretty much everything on the phone exposed. There are tons of apps, many free, that do just about everything. When I hear all the hype I just do not understand it. Microsoft did this a LONG time ago. The OS many claim is buggy, but my Treo 700wx is very solid and has all the apps I routinly use.
The only thing I wish for is built-in, stand alone GPS to use with google maps which runs native. That is a hardware limitation though that I could solve easily. I guess I will have to wait and see. | |
