The HP Zeen e-Reader just arrived here. It's a great device. Runs Android 2.1.

Did you receive my Vonage invitation?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Me? Don't think so.

BTW, I think I just bricked the Zeen when I tried to boot into recovery!

EDIT: Oh wait, it came on again.

 

[JCK]

Install Vinage then, it's really handy.

I know it's not about CDMA but if I get a GSM phone I can just get a sim card and use a phone without getting a contract with a provider where as if I keep getting CDMA phones I'll have to get on a contract to get a service.

edit: Which makes me think; Dru, I know you go through phones all the time...how do you do it? I assume you're not on a contract with anyone.

Nope, I'm month-to-month with T-Mo I am considering leaving but the best rates are with either Sprint or T-Mo. Its gonna be a tough decision come next month

Eat that Dru

Anything can be seen as an improvement when you start from zero

600% or 100000% -- Moto still blows and swallows all the while plaguing the consumer market with shitty phones

I have Vonage at home. What's so special about their phone app though?

Fuck Vonage

its all about Magic Jack

What's new with the Droid 2? I saw it on twitter and now I'm a bit curious. I wish we had Verizon here, Rogers carries shit all.

You don't want a phone the size of a toaster oven. Trust me, you're not missing out on anything

 

[Christina]

But still, the only other droid phone they carry is the Xperia...there is barely any selection! Telus has more, but I'm on a family plan with Rogers.

Try craigslist

you can trade plus cash for a newer phone

Calls via internet, is that anything special? I think it's practical, that's it.

Its got a new bumped up processor, Android 2.2 out of the box, plays flash, supports multi touch and has a better keypad (apparently) compared to the original Droid.

Don't listen to him Christina! He's just a Motorola hater
The Droid 2 is the same size as the Nexus One (its thicker of course because of the qwerty keypad). I think you are talking about the Droid X. I agree, thats a toaster oven.
I still love you Dru

 

[Christina]

Ah cool. My keypad sometimes freezes up for a few seconds and that can get pretty annoying. I don't know if anyone would want my phone though, since the back is half on and half off.

Anyone else here using Swype?

Pure magic, and one of the best ways to show off to envious iPhone users. It's so much fun to nonchalantly Swype a message and enjoy their reactions as they try to act like they're not jealous.

wow, that's pretty damn clever

It's still in beta, so hopefully it'll improve even more.

The only annoying thing is that it has a separate dictionary and you can only add and modify new words, but not the default ones. My biggest grievances are "thee" instead of "the" and "iud" instead of "is".

Still, a heck of a timesaver, and like I mentioned, it makes me feel like James Bond.
