    Sprint nba mobile really poor quality?

    Anyone know if theres a setting to get it looking better? It just looks terrible over wifi or 4g with very high quality connections (12Mbit+) on my epic 4g touch (800x480 resolution). Its free until Jan 8 so I can't complain really, but I'd really consider buying it ($32) for the rest of the...

    TV spot during NFL Colts/Texan game!

    Anyone just catch that? I'm impressed that this phone is finally getting some traction. My sprint store only had 3 preorders for this phone in front of my order when I ordered mine on thursday last week.

    So i've been using Fresh 3.x for a LONG TIME. I've been on 3.3.5 for maybe 4 or 5 months now. Everything works VERY well.. just no wireless N and 4g speeds and battery life are poor.. and of course, no 2.3 goodies and benchmarks are 20 to 30% slower. So, I tried Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. Bluetooth...

    Root really crappy bluetooth voice quality on fresh 3.5.0.1?

    I know this is an "old" rom that very few people are running these days... but I just got a Jawbone Icon Hero headset and I get *TONS* of static on voicecalls. Ironically, the quality of music/podcasts streamed to it is static free. Is this caused by Fresh rom? Anyone experience this when they...

    Has anyone done this? I am considering getting one for my girlfriend as her 7 year old, winxp laptop is dying fast. A 10" screen is the same as a netbook and with the handy dandy USB port, she could plug in a keyboard for class or when writing emails, etc. My real question is, the primary uses...

    I have an evo, why a nook?

    Hey guys, I'm interested in a tablet, I suppose mostly for an e-reader. I often fall asleep reading using my rooted evo's kindle app. For $249+tax I think the Nook Color would be a cool replacement, but is it really better than my evo? Will I be paying $249 for 2.7" (diag) and thats it? From...

    I'm kinda pissed about this, if its true. I tried to do a search but it came up FAIL. So i'm SORRY if this has been covered a million times. $10 isn't a crazy extra amount - especially considering I can now do voice AND data the same time.. but still.. sucks.. if true. Is it true? I'm on...
