I have read a lot of threads on problems and complaints. I also have noticed people really wanting the ever illusive 2.1, 2.0 update. So I decided to write about the things that I currently like about my new phone.
I had a envy 2 before this phone. I am that guy that has been doing the new every 2 for 80 years it seams. This is the first "smart-phone" that I ever had.
So after 31 days of owning it...I blew the speakerphone speaker. I have never seen a person do that yet....I am special. Went back to the store...replaced it with a brand new one....back in business. After reloading 300 apps it seemed I learned my first valuable lesson...back up apps weekly.
So onto why it works for me...and the apps that make me smile.
Eris by itslef-Its a fun toy for the kid in me. Look I work 60 hours a week and have 3 kids....daddy needs a toy.
Pandora Music-I use the shit out of this...I have it hooked up to my audio out into my radio at work streaming endless hours of music into the shop...I will never buy music again...I also said goodbye to my Mp3 Player.
Handcent-Texting...easy......lots more fun with this app then with the standard one.
Bloo- Check on Facebook updates and drop my own updates easy...
Sports Tap-Finally able to keep up with my sports with SportsTap
Waze- GPS I hear people complain a lot about GPS but I have no probs using Waze to get around everywhere.
Assistance Free-Finances app finally lets me check all my credit cards and bank balance in the comfort of wherever..
Car Mode- Automatically forces my phone into speakerphone so I don't crash while driving.
Screebl- Finally a app to keep my screen from shutting of while I am reading
NewsRoom My daily news streams (NewsRoom)
My Tracks- I walk every day and love to compare my speed and distance to previous...works great!
Advance Task Manager- Well...5 million things running at once cant be good so there you go...my answer.
PKT Auction- My eBay auction tool...5 secs to drop a bid on a auction cant be wrong.
Weather Bug- I hate this damn thing on my computer but on my Eris its Golden...
Movies- Going to a movie...easy as 1,2,3 lookup for show times and locations.
Quickunistall- Just in case I change my mind on one of these I can easily take it off with out going thru 3 menus.
Trapster-Going on a trip...nice to know where lots of police traps are.
Car Finder-Well...sometimes I lose my car...its small..
Astro- File manager and backup all my apps to card...sooooo important.
Beautiful Widgets- Just great....looks awsome and love the small home.
Ahh...Long Winded but these are the current must haves for daily use. Now dont get me wrong...I have a bunch of dumbass games on her too. The list was just of the stuff I love and need. I always wondered why people were so addicted to these phones...and now I know why!
