I have a Motorola phone (so it has Motoblur), how can I tell which version I have?

Somewhere in your settings. You definitely don't have 2.2 since it's not officially released yet.

CNBC is interviewing people from Verizon, Adobe, Google, and Motorola before the Droid X announcement and the interviewer has said the words Apple and iPhone more in 30 seconds than Apple does in their own press conferences. I'm sure their just LOVING having Apple and iPhone said over and over again right before they are trying to launch a competing product.

went home during lunch to pick up my iPhone 4, activation went smooth, loving the screen on this, so freaking clear and sharp!

Glass is very sharp, phone is fast as s***

Videos are really clear and really fast to email...

Posting from the iphone. My first smartphone and I have no clue how I lived without it.

Not sure why Motorola keeps talking about Flash support, thats not necessarily a good thing with all the glitches and viruses it opens you up to. It's gonna make that thing SLOOOWWW

Oh I dunno....maybe because people like things like hulu?

Got my HTC Droid Incredible last night. Playing with it today to get it set up. Usual frustrations with dealing with a new OS (new to me I mean), learning it, but I think I'm going to like it.

It's got so many flaws to be used on a smart phone though. It has it advantages, but I can see the frustration that will come.

How could you know that? It's not even available for smart phones yet? The mobile build just got finalized the other day.

I am saying based on experience in PC's. It seems like it would be better as a separate app.

For those of you that have the EVO, how is your battery life?

 

I'm trying to decide between the EVO and iPhone 4. I'd like the EVO, but I am hearing horrible stories about the battery only lasting 6-8hours, 12 at max. I usually go atleast a day if not 2 without charging my phone, so I am worried about this.

Isn't Iphone battery life supposed to be pretty short too?

They are all pretty s***ty compared to my old blackberry. The problem is leaving Wi-fi on, or bluetooth, or loading video. They all eat so much bat.

It just depends how much you use them, as Rock said.

 

If you are a constant web surfer or email checker, your battery is basically going to last one work day. 8-10 hours. If you're more of a casual user like me, and you just text, make a few phone calls, maybe check the weather, google a few things, check a sports score, check soxtalk.com, it will last for 1-2 full days.

 

Just depends on what you do with it.

Oh, I will add this though.

 

The battery life of the iPhone4, with what little time I've had with it, does seem to last a little longer.

So far, except for one thing, I like the phone, and the Droid OS.

 

Problem is the battery. I turned the phone on at about 5:30am after charging fully overnight... and now I am getting a warning (at 1pm) saying the battery is at 14%. WTF? Seriously? If this is the way the battery is going to be, I am going to have to return the phone.

 

I am hoping that over a few nights of charging the battery will improve. If not, I'm returning it. Running out of batter mid-afternoon is not acceptable. Needs to make it through a long single day, at LEAST.

How hard are you on the phone, in terms of usage?

 

Maybe you could adjust some settings to prolong the life a bit...lower the brightness, make it turn off more quickly once it becomes idle, etc.

 

If you are indeed correct, and the battery is dying by lunchtime, a lot of customers are going to be upset. Say what you want about usage, but these smartphones are indeed made for the business person...

Reading some forums, people are seemingly upset about battery life. I'm also trying a number of tips they provided in the forums, and we'll see where we're at in a few days of making those changes.

 

One cool feature on this phone is, it actually shows you what is eating the battery life. Oddly, the screen is only 8% of my total power consumption. 30%, highest number, is Android and its associated services.

That's pretty neat, actually.

Just upgraded to the iphone 4 from iphone 3g. Sweetness all over.

 

For those of you who are asking whether they should get an iphone or a droid phone, consider this: The line at every apple store and everywhere else that sells the iphone is a mile long today. How many lines have you seen for ANY other phone before?

Oh boy, you're opening a pandora's box with this one, my friend...

The Droid X looks like a great phone. However, I hope Google finds a max point on screen size very soon and sticks with it. I don't want to carry around a Zack Morris size cell phone.
