I have a Droid. It is awesome. It was just rooted earlier this week, so you can literally do anything that a linux based computer, a 5mp camera, a 3.7" display, a led light, and a cell phone are capable of.

From the sound of your post, you probably won't have any need to root your device. But there is still tons of useful poo to do with it.

A couple apps I suggest downloading:

Locale: Changes your phone settings depending on where you are located, time of day, day of week, remaining battery life. For example, you can make your phone automatically go to vibrate at 10pm everynight, or when you are at the movie theater. Or you could have it reduce the screen brightness when the battery drops below 25%. Possiblities are endless.

ES file explorer: file manager, very useful for locating and managing files. Pretty much a must if you load music and movies on to your phone.

Shazam: Hold the phone up to a music source and it will identify the song.

Pandora: internet radio

Droid Light: uses the camera's LED flash as a flash light

I could go on forever, but this is a good start.

I use Astro for file management. It lets you export your apps to your SD card for backup.

I will also recommend:

Google Places Directory: Find stuff like restaurants, shopping, banks, etc around you with user ratings.

PDaNet: Lets you tether your Android phone to your computer so you can use it as an internet connection

Ringdroid: Cut and mix your own ringtones from your music on the phone.

Gmote: Use your Android phone as a media remote for your computer. You can also use it as a touch pad/keyboard if you've got a HTPC.

I had no idea what this was at first after just hearing the name. I wondered if it was some kind of R2D2 toy that adults liked. Finally saw a commercial two weeks ago and figured it out (I watch very little TV).

OK gotta go, I think my dentures have finished soaking.

I came over here to make a topic about it. I haven't used mine yet as it's charging. My phone got destroyed right before my 21st birthday.

Orignally I wanted an $80 blackberry, but Verizon made the $30 data fee mandatory so it didn't make any sense to buy a phone that couldn't take advantage. So I suggested the Droid: Eris for $100, but my parents didn't want me getting the "baby" Droid as they felt like it wasn't worth it.

I've never felt so spoiled in my life, they MADE me get the more expensive one. They let me pay for the accessories at least so I don't feel like a total bum.

What kind of cases does everyone have? I don't have time to get one tonight.

If you buy the first party snap on gel droid case then make sure to try it on in the store. They don't fit the phone very well and I had to take mine back to get a better one. The reinforcing around the camera eye of the case doesn't allow it to stretch very well so you have to find a perfect one for it to fit securely.

      lol It's 2 games in with a broken QB it's too early to tell. I hope Canales works out but this is still funny.

      Bill Barnwell defends Bryce's benching with some horrific stats

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      This backlash has truly been sad and was part of the reason I believe Bryce was drafted in the first place. He was small and looked like a kid and everybody just loved that he was also good at football. Once I heard CJ Stroud talking on his podcast tour this summer, I was like well that is the reason he isn't here. I remember the hatred for Cam that basically arose out of him being a massive, confident, black man. Every time a new broadcast crew met him during warmups the telecast was just about how larger than life he was. I even had a friend who is close to Cam's size talk about him sucking the air out of every room goes into like being big, loud, and confident is a bad thing. And many here along with the media never showed any sympathy, empathy, or a second thought to the shite Cam had to put up with while here. Till this day it is either about the stupid fumble that didn't matter that he didn't jump on, or that he only had like one good year.  So to see this crazy backlash from the sports and social media regarding Canales benching a small, weak, entitled, non verbal QB who is playing terrible, struggling to recognize defenses, missing open WRs, and leaving clean pockets is mind blowing! Only Chase Daniels watched the film before talking this week. Everyone else used it as an opportunity pine for Bryce and crap on organization. Again, I hope someone is dumb enough to give us Josh Rosen compensation for him.
