I have a Droid. It is awesome. It was just rooted earlier this week, so you can literally do anything that a linux based computer, a 5mp camera, a 3.7" display, a led light, and a cell phone are capable of.

From the sound of your post, you probably won't have any need to root your device. But there is still tons of useful poo to do with it.

A couple apps I suggest downloading:

Locale: Changes your phone settings depending on where you are located, time of day, day of week, remaining battery life. For example, you can make your phone automatically go to vibrate at 10pm everynight, or when you are at the movie theater. Or you could have it reduce the screen brightness when the battery drops below 25%. Possiblities are endless.

ES file explorer: file manager, very useful for locating and managing files. Pretty much a must if you load music and movies on to your phone.

Shazam: Hold the phone up to a music source and it will identify the song.

Pandora: internet radio

Droid Light: uses the camera's LED flash as a flash light

I could go on forever, but this is a good start.

I use Astro for file management. It lets you export your apps to your SD card for backup.

I will also recommend:

Google Places Directory: Find stuff like restaurants, shopping, banks, etc around you with user ratings.

PDaNet: Lets you tether your Android phone to your computer so you can use it as an internet connection

Ringdroid: Cut and mix your own ringtones from your music on the phone.

Gmote: Use your Android phone as a media remote for your computer. You can also use it as a touch pad/keyboard if you've got a HTPC.

I had no idea what this was at first after just hearing the name. I wondered if it was some kind of R2D2 toy that adults liked. Finally saw a commercial two weeks ago and figured it out (I watch very little TV).

OK gotta go, I think my dentures have finished soaking.

I came over here to make a topic about it. I haven't used mine yet as it's charging. My phone got destroyed right before my 21st birthday.

Orignally I wanted an $80 blackberry, but Verizon made the $30 data fee mandatory so it didn't make any sense to buy a phone that couldn't take advantage. So I suggested the Droid: Eris for $100, but my parents didn't want me getting the "baby" Droid as they felt like it wasn't worth it.

I've never felt so spoiled in my life, they MADE me get the more expensive one. They let me pay for the accessories at least so I don't feel like a total bum.

What kind of cases does everyone have? I don't have time to get one tonight.

If you buy the first party snap on gel droid case then make sure to try it on in the store. They don't fit the phone very well and I had to take mine back to get a better one. The reinforcing around the camera eye of the case doesn't allow it to stretch very well so you have to find a perfect one for it to fit securely.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc.

      Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
