YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!!!
But seriously. How'd you like it?? The reviews i've been reading say that even though it's got the horsepower, it's still a bit laggy and unresponsive. not nearly as smooth as the ipad. your thoughts?

question for you: can you tell who distributes the updates? They boast it's stock honeycomb, but do updates come from google or motorola?
Answer A: where can I buy one.
Answer B: I'll wait.

Price: $539.00

They said that's basically a mock up store so I doubt that will be the price although that would be awesome.

Has any other motorola phone run vanilla ui and been updated by google? From my past experiences with them, motorola being a company with a big, snobby ego and them acting like control freaks, I would guess they want to pull all the strings, despite what the customer wants.

The original Droid had mostly stock Android but Google didn't handle the updates. As far as I know, the N1 and Nexus S are the only commercial phones to get official updates from Google. Motorola did do an incredibly good job at keeping the original Droid up to date though.

Any chance on rooting that bad boy or is it booby trapped like the other Motorolas.

I liked it and so far I'm liking honeycomb! Although I'm suprised you can do a lot on the phone without leaving the homescreen, like....it its pretty heavy but feels really sturdy I don't like the wake/ sleep button. (on the back) as far as stock honeycomb...i think its stock but then again I've never used any other h honeycomb device.

Tablet, sorry I called the xoom a phone, another thing is use the xoom and then go over to the ipad, lol the xoom is bigger. I like it but its too expensive even at that hardware, my evo is a tablet minutes honeycomb
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Sorry I'm at the DMV so I can't just make one big post lol. But the ipad in my opinion is still more responsive and performs actions a bit smoother, honeycomb had hella eyecandy tho while ios is really playing and boring! Give the xoom an update or two and I could see it totally increasing its performance. Oh yeah and the menu/back buttons are built into the os and are tiny and smushed in the b bottom corner.

Just braggin'...

In the event that anyone else is in the same boat, I thought I'd share my experience with the Acer Iconia tablet in conjunction with my CM7 Evo. In a word: awesomefulness.
There's no wifi at work (don't judge), so I've pressed my Evo's wifi hotspot capability into action, and I really couldn't be happier. I'll probably die of some sort of radiation poisoning, but I'm good with that. Using Touchdown for Exchange and Docs to Go, I have an ideal manager's tool.
I took a road trip to Arkansas this weekend (from the DFW area), and used the same setup while in the car (I rode in the back seat). Couldn't have worked better or smoother, really.
I've also rooted the Acer, which makes life all that much better.
I share because I care. Props to the CM7 team for turning out such a great product.

How much does it run? I've heard great things about it so far! I want to get an android tablet but I can't decide which one I want. Right now I have an ipad 1 but I would be much happier with android.

I didn't start this thread to bash or praise any one particular ROM over the other. I'm using CM7 on my Evo with my Acer Iconia ($449 for the 16GB model). The Acer has a USB port, so you can actually charge the phone battery from the Acer battery while the phone provides the Wifi hotspot. I just thought it was cool. YMMV.

Wake me when Sprint gets the next real smartphone without some 3D gimmick and a keyboard that real smartphones sport.

I'm really tired of people saying that only smartphones that have keyboards are "real smartphones". It's an incredibly ridiculous argument, a lot like saying only arcade games are "real games" when in reality it's all a matter of preference. Don't put people down just because you aren't willing to step out of your comfort zone to adapt to something new.
By the way, typed entirely on a virtual keyboard without any problem.

It's not just comfort, its usability. I'm sure I'm in the minority by using my phone to log into network equipment (switches, routers, firewalls, etc...) but it's next to impossible to get anything done using the software keyboard. Try typing something like "sh run | beg int gi12/25" or "crypto key gen rsa usag label key" or "sh ip rou 172.16.2.0" on a software keyboard vs the Epic hardware keyboard and tell me how usable the software keyboard is. Also, I don't like losing the real estate of my output display for an input device.

Is that your answer for every situation where you disagree with someone?

Anybody else feel like the OG Epic was under-appreciated?

It just occurs to me on such a regular basis, that when I pick my phone up, it's a perfect example of engineered quality. I wouldn't change anything about this phone. It's seriously perfect.
My only problem now is that I just get bored with things and probably am getting thirsty for a new, sleeker model. But seriously, does anybody feel like the SPH-D700 didn't get the glory it deserved?

I find the hardware to be quite good (although by the standards of today, I wouldn't mind a faster processor), but I find the software to be buggy and incomplete at best (EVEN EL30), which is sad considering how many chances that they had to make this a good device. Stuff like the GPS and other assorted issues makes me really shake my head in disappointment with Samsung.

Ive been saying that since I bought it.

Everywhere I go people still compliment and ask what phone is that. I don't know how much longer I will have this phone but I'm also not countig the days down unlike when I had my POS moment.
Just the fact that this phone was released q3 of 2010 and is not EOL yet despite the Epic touch release says a lot.

Considering it was supposed to be a Bada device, I think the devs had to get to the Android party late. I'd expect that translating the software to the hardware was the original issue but it seems to be more under control and may have lead to extended life for the device.

It was much faster than the evo. I loved my Epic. Perhaps the lack of froyo and gb is what made the Epic so much fun. Literally the only thing I would've changed is the responsiveness of the captivate buttons.

I'm turned off by the size, and TouchWiz. So much so that I didn't regret springing for the One S after seeing it. But not having a removable battery is really bugging me, so I'm considering it for the first time. Not to mention HTC pulled a fast one about unlocking the bootloader. Sure, they'll unlock it, but you still have S-on, and they won't change that. That's a huge advantage to the Samsungs. They don't lock anything. Might give the HOS to the wife if I can bring myself to get the GS3...but the size really bugs me. I need to see it in person to decide.

The size really won't get less. I honestly hope it does not get bigger than this, because after this it should just be classified as something along the lines of the Galaxy Note, which is huge for a phone.
Touchwiz, I don't get why people hate it so much, is it just that they hate the manufacturer modifying the look, or is it just touchwiz?
I have loved Touchwiz since the first day. Their music app is superior and has more eye candy than any other music player I've seen (not too many options like poweramp etc. though) I do agree they theme it too much, but after all it is all eyecandy and don't tell me that once your on XDA that you won't flash a custom rom on your phone.
Samsung phones are where all the developers flock. You can call me a Samsung fanboy
Just curious, how big is the Htc One S?
Mind taking a pic of the phone with your hand next to it or something like that? I thought GS3 and the one series were all the same size.

The One X is close to the GS3, the S is just a little longer/taller than the Vibrant, 1/4" maybe, and damn near almost identical in width. And just a c-hair thinner. I'll post some photos tomorrow (technically today, I guess ).
Btw, your cwm flashable that's on the dl worked perfectly, thanks . 48gb never felt so free.
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Personally I think this phone is great looks amazing will most likely perform great. I'd go with the white one I think the color blue they picked gives it that prepaid phone look

Oh yeah, what I don't like about TouchWiz is the candy-like backgrounds on the icons, and it tries too hard to be iOS. There's some advantages, but for the most part I feel its mostly fluff wasting valuable resources. ICS Holo theme is gorgeous, no need to play with it, unless you improve upon it with tweaks like Team Kang did with AOKP.

I agree, for some it may be a bit "cartoon" type of look, but its just hurtful to say it looks anything like iOS

Showing them together with the GS's app drawer open would be more representative of what I'm taking about. Obviously iOS on the iPhone doesn't have a "desk top" home; that would be to handy and admitting Android is better. Wait, they admitted that when they put a status bar in that could be pulled down for notifications.
I don't like the dock layout in TouchWiz, or that it can't be modified (maybe changed this time?), and the app drawer looks like a clown puked up a bunch of candy, just like the iPhone. But like you said, stock ROM doesn't have much chance of staying on the thing anyway. So it boils down to whether I can fit it in my pocket, and don't look like an idiot holding a VCR to my face when making calls (sorry Note users, I'm looking at you). And the cherry on top would be if app devs started seriously optimizing for quad core CPUs before the GS4 drops in 6 months.
