Nice! I'm looking forward to the speed improvments of Froyo. Hopefully battery life will be positively impacted, although my Droid runs just fine for me as far as battery life. But knowing Motorola, they'll lollygag around forever before it's released for the Droid.  |

Quoted:
I could seriously consider giving up my iPhone for a nexus one. I am waiting on the 4g to come out before I decide though. I would really consider switching to a nexus one, but I don't know if I can live without the keyboard of the G1. I've tried using the android on-screen keyboard for "practice", but I just can't get used to it. |

I've tried using the android on-screen keyboard for "practice", but I just can't get used to it. I am just the opposite now. Previous phones where blackberrys and moto Qs. So i got used to the keyboard. Switched to iPhone and love the touchscreen. Fiancee has a moto droid. I wont used the keyboard, just the touchscreen. It responds very well for me, and i have bear paws for hands. |

For those interested in all of the features Froyo has to offer, you can catch the official unveiling and demos at this last week's Google I/O conference.
My understanding is that 2.2 will roll out for the Droid sometime in June. |

Quoted: I just started using the voice input. He's right it's pretty good. and I think it's adaptive too. seems to get better with use.Quoted: Quoted: I could seriously consider giving up my iPhone for a nexus one.

What are the differences between the Nexus One and the Incredible?
Only thing I can find is that they are for different carriers.... I am in the market for a droid type phone and I am currently a verizon customer. I am not much of a texter, but I want to have good browsing capability. What do I need to get.....? |
|
So supposedly I can get this an the AT&T network now... for $529. I am in the market for a new phone... but I think I'll wait for the end of summer and hope the price comes down a bit. I want a google phone and I want it on AT&T... this limits my options somewhat. |

A phone w/ "voice input".......how ironic that we get excited about such things...

You can use it for almost any text-entry space on the phone. |

Manually update it here: http://phandroid.com/2010/05/22/manually-update-your-nexus-one-to-android-2-2-froyo/ |
|
Quoted:
I'm just here to see how many iPhone owners call Android owners fags, like the Android owners seem to like to do when it comes to an iPhone thread. I own both. The iphone is provided through work, and I purchased an HTC Incredible for my personal phone. The Droid wins...hands down. Sorry to go off-topic...had to throw my preemptive strike in there. |
|
Quoted: I pick up my HTC EVO 4G on the 4th. I wonder how long until they go from 2.1 to 2.2. The biggest change that I like in the 2.2 release is a native Exchange support for corp. email. Ditto. Later this year. “This includes popular models like the Desire and Droid Incredible as well as hotly anticipated phones like the Evo 4G, MyTouch slide and upcoming models. We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades. We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo. We expect to release all updates in the second half of this year but can’t be more specific yet.” |

Expect full 3G/3GS and PC/MAC support within a month. |

I got both, so I have to call myself a faggot when I wake up in the morning.. Between the Hero and the iPhone, the iPhone stomp a mudhole in the android. This is the problem with android. THere are a zillion phones out there that all need their own updates and it takes frikken forever to get them all updated. It looks like I.ll be going 2.1 when everyone else goes 2.2. 25% of android users are still on 1.6 or 1.5 respectively. |

Quoted:
Still stuck on 1.6 because the HTC G1 sucks... 2.2 will be out in a week or so. Not on the G1, it won't. Unfortunately, the G1 doesn't have the hardware capability to run 2.1 or 2.2, which is why they haven't been upgraded. There are unofficial ROMs out there that incorporate some of the features of 2.1 for the G1, though. |
