What’s the difference? Both phones seem to have very similar features. Glyde is the new hotness with a better camera and larger screen but is over $100 more expensive. I’ve had great luck with Samsung phones but haven’t heard a whole lot about the glyde. Is it a cheap POS or is the Dare just overpriced right now because it’s new?

i’ve read that the touch screen on the glyde is very unresponsive at times…sometimes it will light up like you touched it, but nothing will actually happen

For the last 3 or so months I’ve been very patiently waiting for the Xperia X1 and the HTC Touch Pro to come out so I could decide which I would get. Then this bombshell drops: and now I don’t know what to do

When it comes to a local store I’m guna go play with it. I’ve actually built a few apps for android already (RSS reader stuff mostly) and I stopped because of sdk issues and I didn’t particularly like the first edition they released but the new videos of it are looking /good/

*not sure if this is the best forum… but I figure electronic projects would fit here okay though*

Okay, so I’m working on a project and I’ve got a battery that looks like this

it’s essentially a 3.6 volt lithium ion AA style battery with a few leads ran off. Problem is I can’t find a good charger/socket combo that I can build into the device to recharge the battery. I’m preferably looking for one that has an LED on the charger to indicate charging/charged.

I’m stuck. I really like both the Iphone and the Curve. I have an opportunity to get a used curve from my roommate for 100$ (less than 6 mos old) On one hand I have had the pearl and I was absolutely in love with it..now I have the option to upgrade..better screen, wifi ect. One the other hand I live in somewhat of a rural area and the AT&T service is still probably not where it should be. I heard rumors that a 3g tower was going up in November so..I dunno I just love the stabillity of the BB. I have had mixed feelings about the iphone. I’m just a little afarid to take the chance I guess..

i need a new plan/phone .. att has these phones, but i like tmobile’s 600min/39.99 …

so i figured signing up for tmobile, then getting an unlocked version of these phones online.

what you think?

tmobile is crap.

Sure it’s cheap, and their CSRs are nice… but what good is that when you can’t make a call because the coverage SUCKS or you are waiting for days to get a page to load or a picture to send because their data network was out-dated in the 1700′s?

I live in an area that doesn’t get very good coverage. I can get one bar outside my home, but nothing inside…other than the occasional bar in certain areas if i hold my tongue right.

So, if i’m stuck with AT&T for now, and live in the area i do…what phone would be my best bet for getting signal inside the house?

change address to an area that gets NO coverage according to their coverage maps…. Port number to a decent carrier and get your etf waived. DONE.

I got a new phone/contract from verizon earlier this year and I’m looking to upgrade the phone (primary thing I want is a keyboard). I am under the contract of my parents (18 in college and never had a job ) so I was wondering how the fuck would I go about getting a new phone? There’s a VZW store about 3 miles from my school, and I’m planning to go there tomorrow to look at phones. My parents don’t really care about me getting a new phone, but I’m not sure how contract and all that stuff works? What is VZW’s upgrade policy and can I just go and get the new phone myself or would I have to have to account owner with me to sign me over or something?

Okay, before I ask…

I have the newest divx codec, and the newest xvid codec.

now…

why would some divx files play with video and sound, and others with video and NO sound?

it’s driving me nuts

well, i believe divx is just a video codec and most have their audio encoded as MP3. maybe these files are using something different for the audio.

i like to use Any Video Converter (for PC) to tell how a particular video file is encoded. you don’t have to do the conversion if you don’t want, but it’ll give you info on the file format.

I just picked up this wonderful little toy, but have come to a bit of an impasse. It seems reluctant to allow me to use standard mp3 tracks as ringtones, though it’ll allow me to select them for an alarm ringer, or message alert. Is there some kind of limitation in regards to file length/size for mp3 use as standard ringtones?

according to:

you basically have to flash the phone to get rid of the att firmware.
