How does Transformer handle movies?[/QUOTE]

I've not had any issues with movies on mine, but I've only really watched Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Batman: The Dark Knight on it. If you're in sunlight, you have to bump up the brightness to max, but that's as per usual with a glossy screen. Also, sound quality isn't amazing, but it's basically the same as some of the other tablets I've used. (BB Playbook, iPad2) I definitely made a good decision getting the transformer over another tablet.

Still, if the Prime preorders are sold out, it might be a good idea to wait for it to be restocked. I definitely prefer the look of the standard transformer, but the prime's not that much dearer for a whole lot more power.

Am I setting my hopes too high when I'm wishing for PowerAMP to be part of the Android app sale?

[Protocol7]

bought me some fuckin' simcity

that game is annoying to use on my iPod, so why the fuck not use it on my tablet?

Huawei Honor got an official beta of ICS today. [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbPwtaHE714"]This sums up how I feel about it.[/URL]

I just hope the GS2 beta won't suck.

That's the only reason I haven't bought PowerAmp yet. Keep waiting...

Will my iPad and Android bonuses add up?

Should i trade my HTC HD2 for a Motorola Milestone 2? I'm looking for a similar Android to HD2 with a physical keyboard but i'm a bit skeptical about the Milestones lack of developers support or should i say custom roms (there's just around 6 on the whole XDA).

[SlashSpeed]

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;33677874]The HD2 has similar specs to the milestone, and the HD2 will have developer support until the end of times, Don't bother with the Milestone 2 even if you want a keyboard, Specially since it has virtually no developer support and Stock motorola roms are incredibly slow, It'll be a downgrade.[/QUOTE]
Do you have any android with a physical keyboard in mind that would be a good trade for the HD2? I was thinking about Desire Z, but the hinge mechanism is god awful.

[BrainDeath]

Have you tried it yourself? Just curious.

The Sony Ericsson(R) Xperia Mini Pro SK17a(TM) could be what you're looking for if the switch from the HD2's massiveness to one of the smallest screens android has to offer wouldn't be too awful.

[QUOTE=SlashSpeed;33677953]I was thinking about Desire Z, but the hinge mechanism is god awful.[/QUOTE]

It's not GodAwful, but could definitely be better.
Should've been a slide-out instead of a flip-out.
Also it was phased out a while ago, so good luck at finding a new one at a reasonable price.

You mean Desire Z? No, i haven't. But i read alot of reviews and saw numerous videos. If you hold your phone sideways, the keyboard just pops open, it doesn't look solid at all.

I bought X10 Mini Pro for my girlfriend a while ago, it's a solid phone and Xperia Mini Pro is most probably a hell of a lot better, but the screen size kinda kills it for me. I play alot of games and use alot of applications, so the screen size that small, might be a little annoying.

Van-Man, i'm not looking for a new one, just a used phone which i could trade my HD2 with no other things involved.

Whenever I try to download the additional content for an EA game (The Sims 3 or SimCity Deluxe) on my Nexus S, the progress bar just sits there and I eventually get a download failed message.

At this point, I may just revert back to the stock ROM somehow and root, Cyanogenmod 7 is being an unstable piece of shit recently.

Damn. The fire sale was quick. Not even 20 mins in the 16gb models were all gone. And thy are still hard to process.

[TehWhale]

yep..i couldn't get one because fucking ebay didn't have a phone number listed so it wouldn't accept it. i tried to change it and it kept timing out.

FUCK YOU EBAY

I just rooted my Galaxy S2. What ROM should I flash on it?

[PyroCF]

[QUOTE=Xylem;33684437]I just rooted my Galaxy S2. What ROM should I flash on it?[/QUOTE]
Have a look round through the stock based ones the top ones are probably CheckROM, Hyperdroid and ExynosROM was very good but the Dev lost his SGSII or something so it hasn't been updated for a while.

AOSP wise check out CM7 or GalnetMIUI.

Or dual boot like a boss

[Xylem]

Thanks. I'm deciding whether to go with CM7 or MIUI.

[長門有希]

cm7

YAY! I won a BIG box of goodies for my phone from Sony Ericsson!

[QUOTE=Xylem;33684526]Thanks. I'm deciding whether to go with CM7 or MIUI.[/QUOTE]

MIUI us pretty much based on CM7 with a UI overhaul, try GalnetMIUI stable ICS builds.
