As we all sit here in our offices, cubicles and school desks thinking about our dream device..I started making a list of the things I will do as soon as I get my EVO. Call it OCD call it being a loser, but I have actually spent some time making a schedule for my EVO's arrival. I think I will start it off as follows:
6:00 am- Pick up my EVO at the Shack
6:30 am- Unbox EVO (giggle with excitment like a little girl)
6:32 am- Install screen/body protector! (very important)Zaggs most likely
7:00 am- Arrive at work, show off to all the iphonies(and I mean rub it in their face real good!!)
7:30 am - 10:00 pm- This is the time where I will be setting up my EVO, downloading apps, texting my brains out, looking for updated Xda chefs to cook something up etc.
10:30 pm - 7:00 am- Snuggle the heckoutta my new life partner(EVO )...
What will you be doing with your new best friend?

My gut reaction was to belittle you, or poke fun. But honestly, I'm as giddy as a school girl also. I can't wait!
Root it, if the guys have put it out there. If not, skys the limit.
The first thing you will say when you unbox it is "wow, it really is a lot bigger than I thought"

There goes my answer.
Honestly though, the first thing I will do is make a phone call to see how it sounds from the other end. The original Touch Pro sucks a bunch of ass at call quality. I will so glad if I don't have to hear people say "what is all that noise?" every damn time I make a phone call.

Call quality has been far superior to my Hero. But I think I had a bum hero. The clarity and volume have been top notch both standard and through gvoice.

Hello All,
I feel like I hit the Lotto, My Nexus one is schedule to be here friday by 3pm. I got the confirmation phone call from Fedex today. Im coming from a G1. I feel so excited to finally have the N1 in my hands. I have so many Q's for you all but Ill start by reading the do's and dont's. But give me some love everyone...
You wont regret it, thats for sure.
I hope not the $576 was pretty brutal.
Great device - certainly worth the money with all of its capabilities.
Congratz! Once you get it in your hands, your whole life will change for the better!
You'll love it man... You'll notice you'll grow more beard too once you get it, lol... Well maybe its just me. hahaha! Enjoy!
I also ordered it yesterday, should be here today =D cant wait.
Using it in the Netherlands, hope i wont have problems :O
By the way I paid 580$ for mine... I think I got ripped off! lol...
To get you guys even more excited, Compared browser speed and I just saw my nexus one owned my coworker's iPhone 3Gs first hand, and he asked for a rematch this morning. He got owned again. Specially after using dolphin browser. thought I'd share.
It's an awesome phone. I was nervous about finally moving away from a physical keyboard, but I'm so glad i did. It also makes my iPhone friends jealous. Mostly because of the live wallpapers, lol.
Thanks Everyone, I just woke up and all im thinking about is when the Fedex courier will be here. I cannot wait.
mine got delivered on trash day and when i herd that truck at 9am I was soooo excited just to see my damn trash man :-(. do yourself a favor and dont looke window everytime you think you hear a truck.

Gingerman is a cool bar. I'd say I would meet you there but by the time I get downtown it's going to be close to 7:00. There may be a line to get in (in typical SXSW fashion). Doors open at 7 and the first people in get some pretty cool swag from what I've read. Race you to the HTC booth!
Ooo! Didn't think about the lines! I was planning on being downtown around 5. Maybe I'll just go grab my spot then....

Come on now! With a little bit of exactosurgery and some ducktape, that Iphone case would fit your Hero like a glove! All you need is a little initiative. Well that, and the exactoknife and ducktape.....

Lol! I just think it's funny that every event I go to in Austin (FunFunFunFest comes to mind) has someone handing out crappy iphone cases. Maybe I should stock up and sell them on ebay to unsuspecting Jobs-heads.
If i make it
fury1217(at)gmail dot com I probably wont make it to the bar. I have to leave work from 4 points and run downtown during rush hour I just need to remember to turn it(latitude) on.
Meh on the iWhat cases.... really I didnt even see APPLE on the list or AT&T.

My sentiments exactly.
Quoted from the Facebook message I received:
"Just a reminder that our event is tonight, look forward to seeing everyone! The event is all-ages and open to everyone, so please feel free to bring your friends.
We're also giving away a couple of hundred gdgt iPhone cases and t-shirts, but you'll have to get there early to get one!"
T-shirt could be OK if it's black.
Nah. They're prolly iShirts. Which means pink. Or didn't you know that pink is the new black?
someone ask htc if their gonna fix the dust under the screen defect on the hero's!
heres a good one to prove how tough our little hero is. i was walking home (after being hit by a car ) and i was on the phone with my girl friend and i dropped my hero in the street, my case flew off, and my battery door too. then my hero must have felt left out and got ran over and it scrapped the ground. so i picked it up and still during call no dropped call still on like nothing happened. this phone is a god i swear
if we ever meet in public , remind me not to stand too close to you......
Lol ok I just got up I didn't get hurt
Sent from my HERO200
so in other words... the hero is tough but can also get you killed lolol
you don't have a hero.. you have a villan.

Yeah. The lesson I learned from this is the HeroC attracts vehicular manslaughter.
mine got ran over by a bus and still worked. i was very drunk that night i had to choose me and the phone or just the phone.
lol, GEEEEEEEZ, you remind me of my buddies dog. He had 3 legs, blind in one eye, had just one ear and was castrated. They called him LUCKY!!
So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]
Evo >>>>>>> Blackberry. There should be more >>>, but we get the point.

Well I don't think I've committed anything worthy of forum greatness personally, but perhaps. They could have found, it but of course being me, my gps was off. Had a bad esn placed on it and temporarily deactivated it though.
Yeah that is a bummer! As far as all the 'find my -' apps go, are there any that can have GPS ENABLED by instruction / a message?
Again, total bummer.

Depending on the rom you use, some of the sense roms that are sense 2.0 based have a phone finder built in. Blackberry isn't bad, it's a business phone. It's not made to be flashy, it's just made to work. I don't like it since it doesn't fit my wants in a smartphone, but hey it does what it's made to do.

I completely agree, and that's exactly why I hate it; it doesn't fit what I need it to do in a smartphone. And I'm still kinda ticked that I can only have 1 alarm...and I have 2 different class times on m/w and t/th so changing it daily is a pain.
Yeah have found one that says it can remotely enable GPS and one stating that if off it can use network location. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough. That or it has been so long thought it wasn't likely. Damn, posts like these always get me thinking about having my phone stolen. Bummer.

I hear you man. i have one for work and am not a fan. it works perfectly with a corporate server and all that, but it's damn near worthless as a civilian phone.
I can relate. I have a curve that work gave me. A lot of my friends have BBM, so I end up typing on that and I HATE it. i don't bother correcting typos b/c there are way to many with my fingers hitting like 50 keys at once. Good to know about the new alarm thing. That was bugging me too.

Throw a hybrid OS on it. Just download any BB OS, then go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion (RIM)...then extract the folder named "Java" and play around with the .cod modules.

Sucks you got your evo stolen I returned my evo I got from sprint by using my upgrade the other day, waiting for the one I bought from Ebay now But in the meantime I am using a Blackberry curve, I hate this thing! For one its boring, the keypad is tiny, no angry birds, lol. I tried to make my wife take it, that only lasted on day though, lol. She calls it a blueberry and has been walking around the house saying "no evo no evo", now my kids have joined her! grrrrrr Hurry up mailman! I feel your pain
I have a 13 year old daughter, I offered to buy her the shift for an upgrade, she said shes just fine with her BB curve

Battery is really the only reason I wouldn't switch. A few smaller points is that personally, it's a tad bigger than what I'd want to carry one me. Also there is less development, but it's obvious a bunch of people are working on it and I'm sure it'll have a good size team over there working on Thunderbolt goodies.
**** man, press charges against him. Guess he wants his daughter all to himself...

Rofl, please tell me you have fornicated with said daughter!
I'm curious how you got a Thunderbolt if they ran out of Incredibles instead of like a Droid X. Did you have to pay even more than the deductible or something?
