Former Behold 2 Users Uniting Under HTC Banner...This is Great!

How did you guys get yours already? From the retail stores? Im guessing you guys have black/white. My local store had no Red so I had to order through phone =( . Patiently waiting. Ex behold user also btw.

Oh by the way, How is the battery holding up for you guys? What type of charger does it take?

My battery's doing pretty good... I had it fully charged this morning at about 7am. It's almost 10 here and I still have half left. I've actually used WiFi quite a bit to download apps, used GPS earlier for a while, and played music while driving for a couple of hours.

i haven't had a lot of time to play with it due to being regional truck driver...

FTE!!

My only complaints so far are the check marks in settings should have been red or something that contrasts better than baby blue on white. And I really liked how the BH2 could drop icons anywhere, and not snap to grid. But 7 screens over 3 makes up for that.

I do wish I could set ringtones for SMS & email accounts, so I might install Handcent to handle the SMS, and just try to use gmail more (I have all 3 synced now!)

we have a white and a black (atleast until I pass a corporate store that has red) and yeah we got'em in retail store. battery is doing pretty good considering I use the net a lot on mine, the usb cable for plugging into coputer plugs into the supplied wall mount charger just like an iPod which was great for me because I already had a 12v to twin usb charger for my truck so I didn't have to shell out more money on yet another "car" charger that was only good for the one phone

Hey fellow Beholders, it's good to see that most of you have moved on to a stable device.

One question though, do you have the option to disable sense UI and how is the GPU's performance?. Do any of the new gameloft games work flawlessly without lag?

As far as I know, there isn't a way to disable the sense UI, and according to Small displays produce big results in GPU benchmarks – Android and Me , the Slide outperforms the top Android phones in regards to GPU performance. I have not tried any games yet. If they're free, I'd be happy to do some testing for ya!

Same here. I was pretty skeptical about having to buy it, but the discount helped and if I may be blunt, I really like the phone.

The UI is quite snappy even with the Espresso-flavored Sense. I'm getting much better battery life and GPS location than the BH 2. More importantly, the phone does swype much better and of course the keyboard. (which I will admit is the not the greatest, but it's a keyboard!) Even the onscreen keyboards pwn typing on the bh2.

I say this not to further poo on the BH2, just that I have been quite surprised at much like I this phone.

I have one gripe though and i think it's semi-reasonable - I got better reception on the BH2 but even if the net is a little slower, it's bearable with the overall performance of the phone.

I'm still digging my way through it and 2.1, can't wait to find out some fun stuff.

I have the slide, just got it on Tuesday and I am SO in love with it. However... I am also sooo lost. There is a lot of stuff I still dont know. If anyone can provide me with tips, I would so appreciate it!

I did not have a Behold II myself, BUT my BF has one, so I hope that qualifies me to be in the club! :eek:)

How do I move icons off the home screen?

How do I clear failed picture uploads to facebook that are across the top of the screen, near the time?

I uninstalled an app called "Twlight Clock" *dont laugh, I just wanted to see what it was LOL * and it is showing an error on my home screen saying "problem loading gadget". I would like that to go away. How? :O)

Thank you in advance for all of your help!

Lol. TWILIGHT! Just delete the widget that says problem loading widget. It won't work no more since it's not installed no more. Move/delete the icons by selecting it and hold the icon for a while and then moving them to the place where you tap for the menu to pop up.
