Motorola Droid

Surreal that anyone would think an evil Greek goddess would make a good name for a cell phone. I guess the HTC Droid Lucifer was already taken.

I named my cat Eris!

Fnord!

Strange... I just got a moto droid and was able to keep my fam plan setting, just needed to add in a 30 buck internet option

I may have misread the website - if I switch Ill go into a brick and mortar and see about it

If you switch go to wireless.amazon.com. You'll save a ton of money.

Better to go into store and see about any discounts he may get due to were he works. Discounts on phones, accessories and even the plan itself. If he is porting numbers over I have seen to many issues with people doing things at an online retailer or most 3rd party retailers. Also in a store he may get a good sales rep who will do the phone book transfer for free instead of the $10 but that will only happen if he buys from the sales rep. They can sometimes do pictures too.


Nine you can get a family plan and add in the $30 for the data on any pda phone. If you are looking to have more then one pda phone then yeah there is no family share plan for that and you will need to add $30 per phone with it. I asked about a family share data plan when I worked there and they about laughed in my face but they did say no family share text plans would happen when I asked about that and those eventually did happen.

I actually moved to a family plan just to get the Droid.

Did you want to do that or did the sales rep talk you into it? It's one of the things we were taught to do. When a person was not eligible to upgrade try and get them to add a line for the phone they want and then tell them to do an esn swap on the phones.

I am seriously having a blast with the Droid and I haven't even begun using its full potential just yet. Just screwing around with funny aps and what not at the moment.

Wish there were more 'instructional' guides would be my only complaint, but I'm slowing figuring it all out.

Yes that's what happened, but now I'm paying $20 less a month.

Droid has been rooted.

[Solesk]

what does rooting do for me? with the iphone there were lots of options because the os was so locked down. what does android not let me do that i should use this? not being sarcastic, i honestly dont know as so far the droid's done everything i want.

Well, immediately it lets you run a lot of apps with "all" of the features.

Hit the Market up for "Root" and it should show you a lot of the apps that you can download.

One of the apps you can download lets you take screenshots.

You can also install apps that aren't from the market, which lets you beta test apps (Google has a new Maps out).

Once people have had some time with root access, they'll be able to reskin the entire UI. It seems like they've also figured out how to sign updates, which should eventually let users flash other versions of Android, and customized versions.
