Not going to happen. Ever. They would have to sacrifice all of Google's built in services like Market, Gmail etc.

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.

r2doesinc got the new Honeycomb SDK working on the Dinc. Data working, properly scaled and everything.
There still is hope for a viable honeycomb port for our phones.

Agreed. Honeycomb is not meant for phones, period.... Will people stop wasting their time on something that is pretty much pointless? This is like shoe horning an elephant into a stroller... Why bother?

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 know this is kind of unrelated to the Evo threads but. ;)

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.

It's nice to be positive but this is just another step that has been taken lately that brings the likely end to support for "openness"
that's ok google, i'll just stream my dish network service to my phone for a one time fee and be able to watch the same channels i have at home for no additional cost.
I have netflix and hulu i'll be fine. I'm not that much of a movie watcher
Oh puhlease. Like this won't be hacked-in within a week. Hell, Vegas probably has odds on when.
I think you guys are missing the point.
Yeah, there many be alternatives to this specific service, but if this stands up it says that Google is no longer interested in openness.
People have been saying it's the movie companies pressuring Google. My question is why, since rooting alone doesn't mean you can bypass the payment service with Android Market. They'd still get their money.

Yeah that to! I could care less about overclocking with a dual core phone. I really just want this OS to take off man its been way too long and I think google needs to get in gear; if they don't windows will catch up and grab a huge chunk of the market shares. Im not asking for much but most the features that android is lacking need to be standard, one shouldn't have to root to achieve all these things (the list is long lol). For some strange reason I really feel like when all these wp7 nokia phones come out it will give them a huge jump! Everyone knows Nokia always had ****ty software but hardware is unsurpassed. Honestly, I think google needs to hit android with some more design that uses hardware acceleration or something different from the plain aosp look. Im not talking sense, or other flavors I hate fragmentation, they need to overhaul the design for aosp.

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.

BEFORE YOU BUY THE PHOTON (Nexus Slider)...

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.

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.
