Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

What is everyone's favourite keyboard application? I use Swype, and I think it is pretty good.

Stock Android keyboard in 2.3+ rules in my opinion.

So right now it's just IceCreamSandwich. I'm hoping it's 4.0.

So Verizon is sopposed to be getting the galaxy s 2 between the 12th and the 14th. At least, one news source says that. Here's a guy with his fingers crossed.

Is there something like the ZTE Blade for people in the US? :(

[QUOTE=pdp;31683763]Is there something like the ZTE Blade for people in the US? :([/QUOTE] Why not pick up something like the Inc?

I decided to try Quadrant on my phone, even though most of the time it's a pretty useless indicator: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/snap20110812_162441.png[/img] Interesting.

Goddamn, is the US always this far behind in cell phones? I'm going to be in college by the time it releases, a situation I was hoping to avoid.

[QUOTE=pdp;31684464]so expensive[/QUOTE] If you could still get it with a contract it'd be dirt cheap, unfortunately. What's your price range? Free to free? [QUOTE=ManningQB18;31690511]Hey Americans!

Anyone have a recommendation for a free media/mp3 player for a Captivate?

[QUOTE=Dacheet;31692901]Anyone have a recommendation for a free media/mp3 player for a Captivate?[/QUOTE] Doubletwist is my favorite because I can access videos and music through it. The UI is also very nice. [editline]12th August 2011[/editline] Enjoying my free copy of wifi explorer PRO. Hope you guys who aren't in the US have fun not having it for free.

[QUOTE=garrynohome;31692978] Enjoying my free copy of wifi explorer PRO. Hope you guys who aren't in the US have fun not having it for free.[/QUOTE] If someone wants if bad enough I'm sure they can use google. EDIT: Just made myself a US account with a US CC number... free apps!

didn't realize canada was part of the US weird that makes it the 51st state? [editline]12th August 2011[/editline] and yeah lol it's not really that hard to get a hold of an apk off of just google so you're basically gloating about nothing

[QUOTE=M_B;31693884]didn't realize canada was part of the US weird that makes it the 51st state?[/QUOTE] So Canada actually IS the hat of USA? Huh, there we have it :v:
