Talk me down from a ledge

I got a Droid X yesterday and I am not super impressed with it. I am thinking about returning it and waiting until iPhone comes out for Verizon. The things that annoy me the most about the droid at this point is the lack of a netflix app and I am unable to watch porn on *****.com. I have access to both an an old iPod so I am guessing they will be available on the iPhone. The reason I went with droid is I don't like that Apple censors the app store in the way it does.

Help convince me to keep this thing... If a netflix app is coming out like it is supposed and is not available for the X I will be extraordinarily pissed off.

I don't care about the whole social media/networking thing... I just want to be able to be entertained while sitting at an airport.

Please help me out.

Well Netflix simply didn't make the same app for Android that they did for the iPhone, so I don't think there's a way around that part. It doesn't have anything to do with the phone, it's all Netflix's decision. But as far as watching porn, I'm going to take a wild leap and assume most porn websites are flash based videos which the Droid X SHOULD support (I'm guessing you have Android 2.2 Froyo) because it has flash (if not then search the market for it I think)............. I admire your honesty :D
 
Got it to work... so now I just need to wait out the netflix app I guess. I frequent forums that do not censor their members so I typically act accordingly. I guess I need to realize some moderators have certain guidelines they follow and as such I need to follow them as well.

Thanks for the help so far.
 
I would argue that porn has helped speed the development of technology on a level that no other media has. And we all enjoy it.

LOL
Will it have his ugly mug on the box with one of his 'hoochie coochie' girls?
But since Android is the porn mobile OS, our honest OP is probably in the right place, according to Steve Jobs.

And now a word from our sponsors - ;)

We try to walk a decent line between being family friendly without being the thought police - and in our family, a few expletives are ok (per the rules in the links in my sig).

We mods all groupthink at our etherial snow lodge every {secret time} and try to keep things consistent and easy for you, the users.

That said - I think you have been doing a great job to keep this thread on the up and up and not at all sophomoric, the way these threads often get.

So - on that, good job, gang!

Now - here's some tips to further keep this thread out of our gunsights:

  1. Id the url in question as ****.com and identify it via PM when it matters (as in some sites you cannot browse) - I've edited that for you.
  2. Don't flood the thread with more urls - this is a how to make it work thread, not which sites are best
  3. If something is even slightly possible as NSFW, put a note on it. I liked lunatic59's youtube, and it was questionable if it even needed that warning, but when in doubt, do that - so I added it as an example.
  4. Finally - we have thing in the advanced editing tools, to the upper right, that looks like a big H - it wraps hide/show tags around your NSFW content. I'm going to use it below so you can see it working; you can reply by quote to this (you can always back out) just to see the tag itself.
  5. Don't use HIDE tags as an excuse to break the rules. - Thanks in advance for that.

Here's a sample, on-topic use of hide/show - it's NSFW because you might laugh too loud!

Now - the problem with a lot of flash content is that it won't work if it knows you have a mobile browser. Start with going into your browser settings and turning off Mobile.

If that's not working - next step is usually the UA - the way the browser identifies itself.

Try this, it works on the Evo, no promises for yours - http://androidforums.com/android-applications/235443-explorer-android.html#post1991038

After that - try 3rd party browsers.

And no, we have different interests. I changed my browser UA so I can watch VEVO music vids on YouTube.

Thank you for the guidance. I will try to adhere to the policies. I guess I forget the phones are for all ages.

No worries - you've been cool about this the whole way thru, so aside from a teeny fine tuning, we're all square.

Hope the browser UA suggestions can help you.

I honestly am really just disappointed about the netflix thing, but then when I couldn't get my 'stories' on the device I was thinking that I had made a big mistake with my device choice. Thankfully you guys helped out.
