I put the weather app on the home page.. I noticed that when it's predicting rain or rain/snow mix a windshield wiper goes across the screen like it's wiping off my Eris screen.

I just thought that was cool. Post cool stuff that surprised you about the Eris. :cool: :D

[edit] By the way, by "weather app on the home page" I mean that I have only the weather app there, nothing else; it covers the whole screen, which surprised me when I first tried it out.. I thought it'd be only a temporary experiment, but I think I'll leave it there.. it has a little "update" bar at the bottom of the widget.
 
My friend just got a Moto Droid and she texted me last night with a smiley and I didn't realize that they are all customized android robots. Now when I use them, my friends will know I'm not using a crappy BB like they are.

But the Droid smilies only come up on other Droids, don't they? My wife has a Samsung non-droid and all she sees is the text ":)" etc..

On the HD2 the rain actually falls on the screen and rolls down over the icons when you just have the clock/weather widget on. It also frosts the screen when it is cold and has leaves blowing by on windy days. It is really cool to see. I hope they add this in to 2.0.

Take a look

12" + coming to Maryland tomorrow & Saturday.

Don't brag. :p

I think that only works on Android phones, so your BB buddies won't see it.

How do you make multiple quotes in your posts, OTD?

you can use the multiquote button too
multiquote_off.gif
click that on each posts then on the last quoted post hit the big quote button.

Not that I go for that sort of stuff, but I have a feeling he would be pretty lonely with that thing. None of the girls I know would touch it. And I'm not talking about the ones on my team either. :p

sissies

I wish we could get some snow. We hardly ever get any and when we do it either doesn't stick or just turns to ice.

we have been getting hammered this season :p

Northern Virginia is looking at 16-24". Should be fun! But to go along with the thread, i just picked up Weatherbug elite $1.99 in the market. It is fantastic! I especially like the animated radar screen. It is by far the best I have found for weather and it updates every 15 minutes. Who knows, they may make it with shorter update times in later releases. There is a free version as well with Ads. (I hate ads... JMO. lol!)
