I'm on my 3rd case. The first two were soft rubbery glove things. Now I've got a hot pink hard case.

Don also took my phone to the service center with my list of issues. They too one look at it and ordered me a new phone, it'll be here Tuesday at the latest. Oh joy I get to start Angry Birds again. I should be getting good at it.
I think I need to get a plastic cover and/or case. I feel so unprotected. I guess I need to check out Angry Birds.
I have a nice silicon one I really like. It's purple and I like it.

My first one was purple and I guess it's silicon. Second one was pink, but not a pretty pink I love my 3rd one.

I can keep my phone on the battery while it's on my dash mount so I Pandora and drive at the same time with no battery drain.

Live wallpaper is the real sucker for me. I have a solid color wallpaper app that I really like.

I'll re-install Pandora when I get my new phone. And there was another app but I can't remember the name because I never re-installed it after I lost all my aps when phone was re-set right after Thanksgiving. You could hear a song and the app would tell you the name of the song. My son will be able to tell me what it was. :lol:

I installed Lookout (http://www.simplydroid.com/reviews/prot ... eview.html). I'm not sure if I need the backup part (most of what I need is in google) but it might not be bad to have. The antivirus stuff is key.

I'm thinking about moving on up from my basic phone to a droid, looking at the LG Optimus S, any opinions? Seems to be rated highly.

LG phones SU<K. I had a LG that had to be replaced twice within a year. The service tech told me that the majority of their "problem" phones were LG.

If you want a Droid go with Motorola or HTC.

On a side note SeattleParrotHead ....
shouldn't your signature read "Dyslexics of the world, unTIE!" (?)

Or is this an ironic *double twist* on the joke? If so, veeeeeery clever indeed.

Hmmm, thanks. Sprint doesn't seem to have Motorola, the HTC EVO is nice, just didn't want to spend 200 for it.

How about the Sanyo Zio? Thoughts on that droid?

I've got an EVO and I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! Our whole family has EVO's. I did have problems with mine and had to get a new one but it was really no big deal, except I've started the game I was playing for a 3rd time now. :lol: :lol:

I can't remember what his first smart phone was, but what he didn't like about it was the screen size - way too small.

I bought a new basic phone at the Sprint store Tuesday and it's crap. I saw the EVO and I was very tempted. I need to return this cheap phone, maybe the EVO would be a nice Christmas present for myself.

One of the downsides to EVO is battery life. Be sure to get a car charger. If you get an EVO go to the market and get Lookout antivirus and Advanced Task Killer and change the setting on ATK to kill applications once an hour. It helps TREMENDOUSLY!!
