Its easier / faster to just speak a quick message then call someone .. there is another app out called Hey Tell for sending voice messages it works real well.

other fav's of mine in no set order

Touchdown - for my work emails
Dolphin Browser - web surfing
Astro - think windows explorer
audiogalaxy - share your music from your home pc to your phone
aCar - a must have for car maintenance
Andriod Overclock - because im a nerd
Drop Box - easily share files from computer to phone
Chrome to Phone - share web pages from computer to phone
Shoot Me - Take screen shots of your phone
TeslaLED - nice flashlight app
Watchdog - a good system monitor
WiFi Scanner - scan for wifi
WiFi Tether - turn phone into access point
Jorte - Best calendar app out


My phone is rooted .. so some of these apps will not work for everyone.

Heytell is by far one of the best apps out there. Trust me on this one. Good call LAFTER.

And COCHE i know the droid3 and droid bionic have hdmi outputs due to the fact that i own one and my friend owns the other. And yes you can watch movies on your hdmi tv from your phone with the correct cable.

It means hacking your phone and getting admin rights .. and you should not try and do it.

Its really only for Nerdy people who enjoy that sort of thing.

don't do it after you said you're doing it? Lol. And nerys you're right about the voice text. not having a physical keyboard doesn't suck anymore

I've rooted / hacked every cell phone I ever had .. I am very Nerdy like that.

I don't recommend non Nerdy people hack there phone .. the main reason is no matter how easy / fast they make it to hack your phone .. and how cool it sounds .. a few months down the road when you start having problems you cant figure out you will regret messing with it. And there are always problems / bugs / glitches .. I don't mind fixing them.

Its like a hot rod car compared to a stock car. You are always working on the hot rod .. unless of course your stock car is a metro .. then your always working on it to :)

agreed. if you dont know what youre doing dont do it. my X has been rooted half a dozen times or so with every update. i always waited until i had an SBF file available though.

I'd like you to explain what you meant when you said, "Just when I forget your a little kid that lives at home with his daddy delivering pizza .. you make sure to remind everyone."
