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.

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.

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.

Some people enjoy having an extremely large resolution, like me for instance. I would love to see this fully functional, as I usually change my density to a rather large resolution so as to make things smaller and have more screen space.
I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it
If you read my threads and ask the devs, you will find that I set up bounties, and donate unlike most freeloaders on these forums. And I help some devs test their roms/kernels. My opinion is based on a desire to have our phone be a really cool dev platform but not go in directions where devs try their best to please 4 or 5 ill informed people and then give up. That would just lead to disenchanted devs. I don't think most of us want that...
By the way, I have an iphone, and will be getting a webOs tablet too. You know why? Because its pointless to be faithful to one thing when you can learn from many... Monogamy is meant to be practiced with a spouse, not a gadget... I'm not a fan of any. Just a shameless user of all.

Adjusting the DPI is a personal preference and doesn't change the overall resolution. In my opinion our screens don't really benefit it because the overall size and resolution is small.
A device like the Tab which is scaled like a cellphone screen benefits from the DPI adjustment since it has a much greater screen resolution.
Dell Streak is a fine example of why DPI adjustment isn't needed. Things just aren't right because of the 480x800 screen.

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.

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.

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.

If you've been following on Google+ you will know this already, but a while back the CM team asked for user submissions for a new mascot to replace the generic (i.e. Google-designed) skateboarding robot.

It looks weird... and that's putting it nicely. Of course, I'm not really a fan of our trashcan "South Park" Canadians looking robot mascot anyways. He's a robot and not a freaking android for god's sake lol! It's not like we can go back and change everything. Oh well... Interesting story anyways!
One last thing though.... why change it to something that's almost completely unrecognizable? This reminds me of Google changing the name of the "market" to "play store". There is no point and might hurt your image/recognition after being so well established.
Any new mascot is bound to be unrecognizable at first though, surely ? I've posted before about the fact I find it bizarre that the standard Google mascot is a robot, and not an android at all, so I appreciate the effort to come up with something more android-like. There were a lot of submissions from others, but I don't think the CM team have released pics of those.
I say give it time, and I'm sure the new guy (called "Cid") will grow on us

Of course we all connect Andy to CM but I think it's a great idea to evolve and show that the CM community is, unlike Google, able to distinguish a robot from an android
And Cid is a nice approach to giving CM a face for its own.
BUT he looks like a god damn teletubby rofl
This was my contribution to the list of jokes on him and I think that this is just a step on the way to the acceptance of the new mascot. One day every CM user will for sure be able to identify with Cid. A dynamic and revolting android in its prime, willing to improve the world - or at least its device

Really!?
I know this is a late reply but honestly the new mascot is wrong for CM. I understand Google's need to have an (arguably) android mascot but CM doesn't necessarily need that. Ubuntu didn't try to mimic Debian's logo and Debian's logo certainly doesn't look anything like a penguin.
Please, please, please rethink this logo and come up with something that better represents the awesomeness of CyanogenMod, not just a revision of Andy.
Like posters before, I don't want you to take my comment as offence, so writing this before I begin
I don't like it too much, Andy was good and this new guy looks like con man :f
I think CM makes happy lot of users and this don't fit to it But yeah, the third guy on second picture is looking happy, so It's good, and should stay happy!
Your decision, CMTeam, not bad at all, but everything can be better than it is.
Not good.
Back to the drawing board..deleted boot animation asap!
It's better than Andy (what isn't?) but why do we even need a mascot anyway? Why not just some classy new logo?
So, here we all are. Looking for the next big slider phone to move to. The Photon comes along and while some specs are great, overall most people hate the fact that the SIM is locked and that the battery is not removable. Some of us, maybe all, would probably settle for it, because the idea is that another slider will not come for a long period of time. HOWEVER, I just unearthed this article and honestly, I would recommend giving it a month before we all jump ship and buy into the Photon, if that is your plan at least.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/05/01/google-patent-application-hints-at-nexus-slider/
Although this is NOT a confirmation, it is still in the realm of possibility. It is worth waiting for, before we lock ourselves onto the Photon for 2 years.
Any thoughts/comments/info?
There is some truth to Google bringing out a Nexus slider soon. Google hired the G1 designer duo, they also came up with the design for the Xbox360.
NICE!!!!!! I just sprouted a tremendous woody!!!!
Highly doubtful. I wouldn't hold my breathe. The only logical choice right now for keyboard lovers is the photon. Especially since Motorola released something similar to HTCdev to unlock the boot loader.

My thinking on the Q, is will there be development, more to the point, will it get picked up by CM
A Nexus device will get dev support almost by default.
But the Epic taught me to be careful about my choice in phones, as lack of great development can drop a phone from awesome, to dam, wish I could get that mod.
Those who got the Epic on release day, waited for CM acceptance on the Epic, will understand why I'm a bit gun shy about one-off devices

This is a tease. I bet a Nexus Slider is at least 18 months away from being on the market.... Just saying.....

I hope not. I'd hope it wouldn't be A9 at the very least. Krait or A15 are the high end.
That's it. I'm waiting. The PhotonQ is appealing to me, but I will wait to see if this pans out before I jump.
Now, should we start a pool on how long it will take Kenny to close this thread?

Yeah it'll probably get folded into my devices thread.

Just by looking at the keyboard I can tell that this isnt a Nexus Slider. Or at least not one that intends on being a phone.
To Heck With That Darn Photon ( seriously ? I'd rather hang on to my EPIC ... :good: ) THIS >>> http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/21/iphone-5-features-what-expect-this-fall/ <<< is the REAL winner on that page ...
P.S. = I am NOT about to lay down any bets on that NFNM ( he turns from Good Spidy to Bad Spidy really fast sometimes ... :laugh: LOL = I Kid , I Kid !!! :laugh: )

Holy shi* that's gonna blow android outta the water. 4g lte, better camera, better gpu, larger screen, that is soooooo revolutionary.

Its all about they keyboard layout. It doesn't match up with something that would create ease of use. This looks like a prototype for a Phablet and or Tablet.
