Droid X

[Kettle]

both record in 720. X is 24fps. fascinate is 30. i saw those pics the other day. i see no blur that the salesman said could be caused be the X's shutter speed.

So that 3g hotspot costs extra.

Wish I had known that earlier

on that Kurb. you can root your phone and do it for free. not sure exactly how that is done, but my brother's moto droid is that way. they say you are at risk for a plan audit that way though.

the hotspot option on your plan is 20 bucks. cheaper than what i pay TWC, so it still seems like the way to go. legally or not.

I don't need it tho.

So just by clicking it on I lost 20$.

i pay almost 40 a month to TWC for roadrunner light. if the hotspot is even close to as good i'm done with TWC.

Really? It doesn't warn you? I haven't messed with it... my wife and I discussed what KK is talking about... cancelling RR and TWC phone and using the Droids as our sole phone and for internet connection.

I have not used a computer at home since I got my X.

i may end up that way biscuit but still want the net for playing games online. alas the ps3 is getting less use every week with the pregnancy. gotta make sure she eats right, excercises, gets enough sleep, etc. haven't played in a while. still need the computer for the banking website though at least.

Gonna run by Verizon this week and double check. But this is what I have read/was told.

[Darth Biscuit]

Pretty much the only thing I used the net for at home is a little surfing here and there, so it's not a big deal for us. My heavy internet use is at work...

It's $20 a month or pro-rated if you use it intermittently.

Ahh so my two times flicking it on and back off for a grand total of maybe 4 mins won't cost 20$?

I think the fascinate has GPS issues, but maybe that's the Vibrant.

On a related note, I found a leaked ROM that fixes the gps issues on my captivate. w00t.
