Ok, ROM manager helpfully informed me there is an update available to MIUI. Great! Now, I have it downloaded, but when I tell ROM manager to reboot into recovery, it just reboots. Right back into the current build of MIUI that's on my phone. So, what am I missing? Should I be doing something...

OK. I seem to be having some duplication of icons. In the manage application list, there's only one copy of an app, but I have 2 icons on my phone?

I'm hoping to find a relatively inexpensive model since I would need three. I saw that Toys R Us has a...

VZW is tempting me. They sent me an email with an extra $50 off of smartphones plus allowing me to get my $30 NE2 now instead of waiting until Oct. So....will the Samsung Fascinate be significantly better than the X? Will there be something releasing in early fall that will trump them both? Any...
