    Root 2 ?'s. Froyo Browser war and Flash 10.1

    I used mainly Skyfire on 2.1. Just felt faster and I like the menu across the top. Skyfire has known zoom and password issues on 2.2. I have used Dolphin but I'm not a huge fan. So I tried out the native browser after not using it in months. Whoa. My experience is it's really fast. What are...

    Initially loaded NFL Mobile June 9. Will astro backup allow free use

    I can't find the original thread but I remember seeing if you installed NFL Mobile for Verizon before the end of July you had full access without paying for a VCast package.

    Root Skyfire issue with Frankenrom. No problem with Dolphin HD

    Hopefully this is the right place to post. I like Skyfire on 2.1. Just upgraded radio and flashed to FrannkenROM. Yea! ZOOMING: When I pinch zoom a page, it expands, but the paragraphs don't reformat to fit page width unless I double tap the screen. So essentially zoom becomes a 2 step process...

    Hotmail in a few (semi-easy) steps

    I've had hotmail since before it was an MS product. Early 90's I guess. So no I can't just switch to something else. Hotmail Wave 4 exchange support still hasn't rolled out. I was using text alerts then had bookmarked Hotmail on my browser but was still annoyed. Especially coming from Windows...
