Get an iPhone!

Okay really though, how far off is your upgrade? And the Droid is only available on Verizon. Is there a form factor* you prefer? Are there features that are absolutely necessary?






*Form factor = candybar, flip, slider, qwerty slider, etc.

Verizon's HTC Incredible looks nice. Apparently, Google is recommending people buy HTC Incredible instead of their supposed release on Verizon. I'm still waiting for Sprint's HTC EVO. Problem is my current phone, Blackberry, has a hole where the trackball use to be. Not sure how much longer I can continue using it.

Evo will be out quite soon.

The CDMA Nexus One is dead.

Well, this June I have 1 year with this phone, so NEXT June I'll be able to have my upgrade.
I have at&t so I suppose the Droid is ruled out
I usually don't like flip phones, or phones that are only touch screen bc I'm scared of breaking it or not being able to text as fast (i like buttons) but maybe I could get accostmed to it. Definately needs qwerty preferably buttons, if not touch screen is okay..
Absolutely needs a camera but I don't care about the pixels, and I'm sure most phones now have cameras, that's it!

HP Buying Palm for $1.2 Billion HP to Acquire Palm for $1.2 Billion Combination will Accelerate HP's Growth within the More Than $100 Billion Connected Mobile Device Market PALO ALTO, Calif. & SUNNYVALE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—HP (NYSE: HPQ) and Palm, Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which HP will purchase Palm, a provider of smartphones powered by the Palm webOS mobile operating system, at a price of $5.70 per share of Palm common stock in cash or an enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion. The transaction has been approved by the HP and Palm boards of directors. "We're thrilled by HP's vote of confidence in Palm's technological leadership, which delivered Palm webOS and iconic products such as the Palm Pre. HP's longstanding culture of innovation, scale and global operating resources make it the perfect partner to rapidly accelerate the growth of webOS" The combination of HP's global scale and financial strength with Palm's unparalleled webOS platform will enhance HP's ability to participate more aggressively in the fast-growing, highly profitable smartphone and connected mobile device markets. Palm's unique webOS will allow HP to take advantage of features such as true multitasking and always up-to-date information sharing across applications. "Palm's innovative operating system provides an ideal platform to expand HP's mobility strategy and create a unique HP experience spanning multiple mobile connected devices," said Todd Bradley, executive vice president, Personal Systems Group, HP. "And, Palm possesses significant IP assets and has a highly skilled team. The smartphone market is large, profitable and rapidly growing, and companies that can provide an integrated device and experience command a higher share. Advances in mobility are offering significant opportunities, and HP intends to be a leader in this market." "We're thrilled by HP's vote of confidence in Palm's technological leadership, which delivered Palm webOS and iconic products such as the Palm Pre. HP's longstanding culture of innovation, scale and global operating resources make it the perfect partner to rapidly accelerate the growth of webOS," said Jon Rubinstein, chairman and chief executive officer, Palm. "We look forward to working with HP to continue to deliver industry-leading mobile experiences to our customers and business partners." Under the terms of the merger agreement, Palm stockholders will receive $5.70 in cash for each share of Palm common stock that they hold at the closing of the merger. The merger consideration takes into account the updated guidance and other financial information being released by Palm this afternoon. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of domestic and foreign regulatory approvals and the approval of Palm's stockholders. The transaction is expected to close during HP's third fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2010. Palm's current chairman and CEO, Jon Rubinstein, is expected to remain with the company.

I am somewhat surprised by this. Palm has been a rudderless ship for years. WebOS was no different.

So I was under the impression that when one roots an android phone they can no longer receive OTA updates for the android OS, yet I keep getting prompted to install android 2.1. Should I do it or u think it will mess with my current configuration?

The act of rooting does NOT remove the ability to update, but it will no longer be rooted if you do apply the update.

I tried and she denied me. I think it was cuz the root files are also "update.zip" so it couldn't replace it? or something

Since the failed install it hasn't prompted me again so
