please please please tell me if the Screen is dim or not

 

so jealous dewalist

and i am glad to hear that about the memory! I figured as much that some people were blowing it out of proportion

 

Thanks for the update Dewalist! I'm also relieved to hear about the memory issue, I have no problem running apps from the SD but was nervous when some people said not all apps could do that. I'd still be tempted to try and remove some Verizon apps without rooting if possible. I'd rather have my updates come through official channels then risk not having the latest version running properly. I will admit this will be my first Android device though so I'm new to all of this. You should have just called in sick today

 

Thanks for posting about it. It's a matter of time before Rushmore comes in here to counter the storage argument. I even saw him commenting several times about it on Phandroids/Chris Chavez's review .

It's still more than my Droid has and I haven't had any storage issues with it since 2.2+ has been out (when app SD installation was officially introduced). I plan on rooting it ASAP anyways when I get it to remove any bloatware that's on it, so that's even more available to me.

I should prolly go ahead and order it myself, but I want to go to an actual store to get it just go verify I'll like the hardware and form factor. With the Droid X2, Revolution and Trophy coming out this Thursday, it'll be fun to try out all the new phones at the store too and maybe one will sway my decision at the last second, but I doubt it. If the Samsung Function (Galaxy S 2) was due out in the next couple weeks, I would wait for it, but I can't stand my Droid any longer. Running 2.3+ ROMs on it is just too much for it as far as RAM is concerned. It doesn't allow anything to be running in the background for long before its measly 256 MB wall is hit.

 

My screen is great. I went from the iPhone to the play and I'm loving it more and more every day.
I keep learning new things.

 

I want one! Amazon is still backordered though.

 

"I figured as much that some people were blowing it out of proportion"
How so? The memory sucks ass on this phone. I have hundreds of apps on my iPhone and there is no way I hell I could get close to that on this thing.
You have to go in and move some apps to the sd card and not every app will let you. And even if it does it leaves a part on the phone. I have maybe 20 games/apps on now and have 103MB free and 277MB used. I'm very disappointed considering this phone is meant for games.

 

Also most of the games I have are small shitty free trials or small casual games. I plan to buy bigger games as they come out. I have 6 big games from game loft because the bastards ripped me off.

 

Good stuff dewalist. This is my first Droid phone, after having LG phones followed by a BB Tour I can't wait to give this thing a go! I'm so tired of not having as many apps on the BB and no flash was a bummer. I'm also psyched as a PSP owner. I feel lucky this came to Verizon. I hope you're enjoying it, I'll get mine tomorrow hopefully someone is here to sign for it

 

Just an opinion that i have. I felt it was blown out of proportion is all.
As long as apps2sd is there and the apps i currently use are able to use
that feature, then i'm cool with the limited space.

i'd love more...but it what it is

 

"I'm also psyched as a PSP owner"
Sorry to be the barrier of bad news. This is not a PSP. At least to yet. It will be cool if they release PSP games for it but as of now it is not. It plays PS ones games Though.

 

"i'd love more...but it what it is"
Not trying to argue i just think it's stupid and if I had of known I probably would have passed and I have almost all consoles.

 

140 apps installed here, (74 android games, 9 emulators with 180 roms for emulation, 56 android apps), and 89 meg free, no memory problems, nuff said.

 

I'll probably end up getting one, but I really don't understand why they didn't work in some sort of PSN integration.

 

Either they are small phone games/apps or you are doing something non standard.

 

lol

 

I promised DeadlyD I would shut up about storage space, so am powerless to retort. I am retortless now, but Chris agreed completely and even updated his review.

As far as the display, it looks okay on its own, but looks dim and washed out compared to other devices. It looked real rough compared to the Charge and DX2, when side by side.

Added: Seems so unSony to be dim like that, but your eyes do adjust to it. I'm now shutting up about the display, too.

Oh yeah, carmendiva, your icon destracts me....... there, happened again!

 

I just paid for apps to sd pro or something and so far it only filters the movable apps which was worth the price to me. Other than that you can move these apps without it. I install a bunch of games at a time then have to check all apps again to see which ones I can move. This saves me time but not space. It will build up.

 

Be careful, since you may get to a point where swapping cards makes the device unstable. If you will never remove the card, no problem. Some apps are not stable when moved.

 

I'm not going to remove it. I picked up a 16GB because Rogers would not replace my broken one.

 

LOL i will change it soon I actually don't even pay much attention to it haha

and i love that movie(it was Toy story 1 or 2 i think?
