what brand? how much? expensive?

Blinder is the company. I also put Veil stealth coating on front license plate and headlights. The blinder cost around 480 but I had 2 tickets on court supervision and 1 more and could have lost my license. Plus my insurance would have gone more than 500 for me. This was a fair price for me. Also, this device is not legal in my state but speeding isn't either. lol

Look on youtube videos for the Blinder in action.

Thanks man! haha

So someone educate me, how does this underclocking thing work... If the processor is rated for 1 Ghz does that mean that the remaining "potential" could be recaptured via rooting/custom ROM? In a sense i'm asking if you got the processor back to 1 Ghz would that even be considered "overclocking" or just getting it back to "stock"?

Well, let's get this back on topic, shall we? :cool:

Why are people thinking this post and saying baller status? Is there a pic of the actual phone im not seeing? I know there is a ton of information belowe that im really excited to read, just wondering why this got people excited pre information....i.e. picture

On the link I posted it said "maxium operating efficency" or something like that was 1ghz

so I figure they underclock it for power consumption and to get more life out of it. I mean you car might have a max speed of 120mph, but you don't drive it at that speed all the time (or ever) lol. Know what I mean?

Not sure if you're having the same issue as me but i can't see it at work for some reason. I logged on through my Droid and whoila, the pics are there.

I get all that...i should have perhaps been clearer...let me try again.

Is there a 1 Ghz processor inside and it's been dumbed down to 768? (meaning any "unlock" would restore full speed)

OR

Is there a 768 Mhz processor inside and running at 1 Ghz would require some sort of overclock (voltage, timing, etc...)

Not a bad example, Kappy, but better to look at it as putting a regulator or governor on a car engine that's capable of running at 120 mph, but actually gets better wear and life if it doesn't exceed 100mph.

MY BAD, I think 1 GHZ inside, with it underpowered, so if you unclocked it you could reach 1GHZ.

It's a 1000 Mhz capable chip underclocked to 768 Mhz.

You are not gonna notice much of a difference between 768 and 1ghz anyway. I would rather have the better battery life.

While i agree with you generally i'm on a Droid now and run it at several different clock speeds (600, 800, 1000, 1200, even 1300) and see a definite difference in general use (screen switch, app open, browsing, in particular scrolling, etc...overall snappiness). It's possible that being a different OS version (2.1 vs. 2.0.1), different processor (Snap vs. OMAP), more memory (320 vs. 256), etc... will make a huge difference, but from my experience with my Droid the overclock makes a big difference and is noticeable at each stage.
