How Time Flies

[xx_bishop_xx]

I wonder if the "next phone" will be a cosmetic change, or just guts....or both perhaps?

 

[JAS_21]

I installed leak 1 two days before root was achieved. I am watching the update threads but not like I was last year.

I definitely learned my lesson about installing leaks, but I'm in the same boat again. I have an Incredible 2, and it came from Verizon with 2.3.3 preloaded. Currently there isn't a software root method unless the phone has 2.2.1. There is a hardware option (XTC clip). I'm working on getting one now. I never thought getting the Eris last year would have this effect. I'm even running linux instead of Windows now

Frisco with real-live genuine forum/banning power....can you imagine if he had that a couple years ago. I think I would probably been on xx_bishop_xx(4) as a screen name by now.

Moi? ..

 

[Podivin]

I think there was a point when Frisco would have had to ban himself

Not ban, just scold. A great thing to do to yourself now and then.

The Presidink in front of his mirror ^^^^

 

[Caddyman]

you guys still posting in this thread? cool!

running MIUI on the droid x now, holy cow this is a badass rom (more like a os replacemtent, but a rom nonetheless)

Good point, and a fine distinction to make, my message was poorly worded.

There's another who was chocked to the fingertips with Android/ROM/etc knowledge for us all.

I've got to see what became of him.

I think I have seen him over in the incredible forums...
being here brings back memories of law suites and onions

it really doesn't seem like that long ago that I was waiting for root for the leak because I wasn't patient :/

now I have an incredible running miui and it is sick!
I gave my Eris to my mom and she promptly dropped it on the ground and shattered the screen... it was a sad day.

Dang I miss your daily participation, Caddyman.

Get a Droid 3 so we can hang out (no way I'm getting an X).

 

[Caddyman]

idk what's next for me, i do have an upgrade available, but that samsung charge looks cheesy to me.

 

[Frisco]

Do you like physical keyboards?

I didn't back when I tried the original Droid ages ago. Stayed with on-screen keyboards (Eris, Fascinate).

But I fell for the Droid 3 right away in the store, and it surprised me... now I like having the whole screen when in a text field, etc, especially when posting here, as opposed to most of the screen obscured by the keyboard.

Plus this thing is fast!

 

[Caddyman]

Do not like real kb's. Swype is the bees knees

 

[Frisco]

Ybl8$ neeb roo67% shap.

^Typed with Swipe^

I ain't no good at Swipe.. gave up!!

 

[cableguynoe]

Ybl8$ neeb roo67% shap.

Absolutely

 

[doogald]

You either love Swype, or hate it. I hate it.

I still like Swiftkey best. The thing practically types for me.

 

[Frisco]

Swiftkey.. hmm.. well, it's all academic now that I've grown to love my Droid 3 slide out keyboard so much. Man is it solid. I remember the Mattel Toy Company feel of the original Droid's keyboard when I messed with it in the store a long time ago.

They've responded to complaints about that, it appears.

 

[Toolanddiemaker]

So cool to see all the big hitters on here again. All the guys that walked me thru leaks and rooting and roms. Still have my Eris, once in a while i get it out just to flash the latest rom. Thanks again for everything you guys did, for everyone.

 

[carmendiva]

Heyyy, I used to be a Eris Owner

I used to hate this phone, love this phone and any other emotion.
It was my first official android phone and I adored it's cosmetic
design, I just hated the lag.

I think in the 8 months I owned a total of 6 eris devices.
LOL i'd always switch for an OG droid and then i'd miss my eris
and then switch back to it. LOL

 

[cableguynoe]

Hey carmen... didn't you go windows?
Geesh... you switch phones faster than Frisco changes avatars...

 

[carmendiva]

Hey Cable<3

Yeah I did go to Windows.

and I Love Windows. BEST....OS...EVER!

But I am back with Android, temporarily just because i do miss having a Front Facing Camera so I am a mostly content owner of a Droid Charge and Xperia Play.

Once Mango hits Windows Phone 7 and Nokia releases their hardware with a FFC(or even Samsung and LG), I'll be dropping Android for good lolol.

And I just discovered Frisco was a Moderator now lol.
Do you still have an Eris?

 

[Frisco]

Great to see you here, Carmendiva. How nostalgic.

 

[carmendiva]

LOL. I know it's like a reunion.
All I need is Smacky and this will be
complete haha

 

[Frisco]

Don't wish Smacky on yourself!

No, j/k... I miss his antics too, I guess.

 

[carmendiva]

Don't wish Smacky on yourself!

No, j/k... I miss his antics too, I guess.

Is he even on the site anymore? LOL I troll the Eris forums from time to time.
I haven't seen Ofthedamned in awhile either!

 

[Frisco]

OTD has been awol for months on end.

No solid info about why, she never said anything publicly here about leaving, but her Premium membership has not expired. I miss her.

Smacky? Oh, he's probably got three or four other accounts here now.
