I have 4G in my area and still don't use it... If I use 4G my batt dies in min. not hrs... yet I've been paying it since I got my EVO... I'm thinking of going to either Metro PCS or Virgin. I figure it will be BAD, but I'll pay less to get raped in the arse.

X2 didn't have 4G. Bionic does.

Weird...they should have gone LTE with it.

Tegra 2 and LTE chips don't play well with each other. There's a reason the Bionic got delayed/cancelled.

The DX2 also removed the POS camera button. It's non-responsive on my DX, and pictures come out better using the button on the touchscreen -- which is backwards from what I expected.

Froyo for the Fascinate officially hits tomorrow:

I wonder if I should get rid of my leaked one and get the "official" update.

Here are the specs of the upgrade for anyone that needs them:

I was about to post that. Getting kinda worried, figured the sun would go supernova before we'd see this.

Are you going to get it Clak or are you still running your custom stuff?

I'll probably wait for someone to take it and remove all the crap. I just outright refuse to use Bing especially. Not even that it's awful, just the principal of having it forced on me.

How much have you customized your phone, as far as rooting is concerned? I been taking a look here and there on the XDA forums for new Kernals and Roms, but that shit still seems too complicated for me. Also most of the stuff they post is always beta and they post stuff like "Warning: No MMS, Video...etc." that I just straight up avoid it.

I've got SC 2.9.2 running right now and really like it. Might install a new theme sometime soon. I've been more into customizing my Nook lately as Fascinate development seems to have slowed a little, but I'm sure this will speed things back up.

OP .. how about updating the thread starter with an wiki-edit option so the thread can updated and added any popular Android apps

Downloading Froyo OTA update for my Fascinate; finally!

Transformer is out in the US April 26, see all of those delays wre in the UK.

Its funny, Froyo barely hits the Galaxy S here, and on the other side of the world they are getting Gingerbread (and pulled shortly after...but still):

Back to an older point about saying task killers suck on froyo; I disagree. I've used the program monitor to try and close stuff but it does not kill certain apps that mysteriously start themselves.

BTW, Samsung Droid Charge comes out on the 28th. LTE, Super AMOLED Plus, free 4G mobile hotspot, Adobe Flash and Swype are preinstalled. If the battery life is decent, this could be an amazing device.

Yeah it sounds good, but I hate that Samsung/Verizon doesn't update their damn devices. Though since this one is branded as 'Droid' it might have a better response rate to updates.

Lol doubt it, considering it's only coming with 2.2.
