Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
go moto! looks great
@skyblaze
damnit, i preordered an iphone 4 today. my original droid i bought in november got stolen in march. guess i shouldnt have been so eager.
@thes1ckness Not like you made a bad choice. The iPhone 4 is a great device, as are Android devices. If I were on ATT and wasn't a big fan of Android, I would have considered the iPhone 4.
@thes1ckness Yeah the iPhone isn't a bad choice.... but I would have still waited instead of pre-ordering right away!
@skyblaze
Indeed!!!
@skyblaze
wow that's big!!! I take it this doesn't go in the pocket?
@elijahblake That's what she said
@skyblaze
hump, do not like, i'll keep my evo.
@skyblaze
Yeah... but it's freakin' huge!
@skyblaze Looks like a stunner!
@skyblaze
It does look good.
Verizon to Motorola: "Don't forget the glue!"
@elijahblake
oh it does fit in the pocket, just "with a slight buldge". lol that's signature worthy there..
@thes1ckness haha yeah I have the droid original too but honestly compared to the iPhone 4 this phone is GREAT but I'm still getting the iPhone 4 cause well I just LOVE the iPhone like in my opinion no phone beats it no matter how hard it tries
Engadget for the MotherF*ckin Exclusive!!!!!!!!!
@thes1ckness Dont worry about it. Just like with the evo, the iPhone is better in just about every way except screen size. Faster processor (in performance, not specs on paper), better display, cleaner/smoother operating system, way better battery life (don't know about moto x yet, but it will probably be comparable to the evo), better music utility. You made the right choice.
@ComboBreaker
Seriously, this is a great scoop! Great going Engadget!
That aside, this phone honestly looks very big. Other than that I love the how slim they made it.
@skyblaze thats the Android Help widget on that first picture... which was new in Froyo i thought? Is this our first Froyo phone (especially with Adobe there?)
@skyblaze
Looks great but does it come with the murse you need to carry it? :)
It's humongous!
No front facing camera? Maybe I can live with that. But the size of that thing doesn't really fit well to my taste (galaxy s already looked big enough for me). I'd go for an android tablet if I want bigger screens but for a phone, uh well, I'll wait for some user feedback. Hope it goes gsm too just so I have more choices for my next phone.
@skyblaze
Big...
@skyblaze HOLY COW THAT'S HUGE!!! haha, a Droid tablet.
@skyblaze
It looks fucking ridiculous. Like some KIRF star trek tricorder made of cheap plastic.
@skyblaze
ENGADGET! What version of Android is it running?!
@skyblaze
I MUST KNOW! IS IT AMOLED SCREEN?
That phone looks sick, not something I could carry but still awesome looking. The the DROID 2, Verizon knows what's up.
So is this what it's come down to in the Android market for competitive hardware differentiation? Who can make the biggest freaking phone?
Yikes.
@MarkAnderson
That's what she said!
@skyblaze : wait, so when the heck did Engadget get one of these? and wait, no slider? Isn't that the whole point of the Motorola DROID? I prefered Evo till I saw this with the thought 'Evo with hardware AND virtual keyboard? sold'. If it doesn't have one, I'm back to Evo.
@skyblaze
DID YOU SAY DIVX. My mind is blown!
@skyblaze I'm not hating but dang this phone is just too big for my liking. I prefer quality over quantity :/
@skyblaze Too small, I want my phone BIGGER!!!! And you call that smooth!? OMG you really are ignorant.
@blenderman345 There's a Droid 2 in the works with a slide-out keyboard, but it isn't gonna compete with the EVO like the X will.
@skyblaze lol hahah
you are joking? How big is this 'Phone'? lol
I thought these massive phones died out in the 90's..
This is a joke, will never be a mass market product, I'm guessing the Engadget readership might be about the real market size for these.
@MysticMaven
Yeah, I want my phone as big as the one I had in 1995. >.
@Stepup
It's a mans phone.
@skyblaze Its a bit on the bezel-y side for me TBH. It looks way bigger than the Evo, yet the screen is just .1in bigger than the Evo's. But the design isn't too bad.
@skyblaze Front-facing camera?!
@thes1ckness You're an idiot to preorder a phone.
@elijahblake Zach Morris would so sport this phone!
@skyblaze
Damn, I prefer Sense UI, but the hardware looks damn good.
@N900
This is on the too damn big side of the spectrum.
I'd love me a large screen with great resolution so I can web browse and read manga etc with ease but gosh man. The device looks hard to hold and that bulge is gonna suprise more than a few people LOL.
@MarkAnderson
I don't get this latest trend of Android phones getting larger and larger. For God's sakes, it has to feel and work like a phone too - how weird is it to hold a 4.4" slab to your ear. It will be as comfortable as holding an N810 to your head. Now will be start selling shirts and pants with extra large pockets like what the Sony transistor radio salesmen used to have in the 60s? lol
I think for a phone 3.7" is the sweet spot - what N1 has. 4"+ is tablet territory and for that you have your Dell Streaks and other tablets.
@elijahblake
At some point screen size will hit a wall, I would say somewhere around 5".
@thes1ckness *NEVER* *BUY* *SIGHT* *UNSEEN* - ***EVER***. Even if it's a magic carpet for $5 DON'T BUY SIGHT UNSEEN!
You'll hate the small size of the iphone screen after playing with/using smartphones with 4.x " screens
@thes1ckness
So cancel it
@elijahblake Now every guy who read about the bulge part is going to cancel their petite iphone 4 and get the new droid.
@Chuckinator0
hmm, i find that to be more your opinion than fact
i for one dislike iphones/ipods as music players, theyre actually pretty bad quality
i like my sound the best it can be so i use cowon, things a beauty
once youve used it youll never be abe to stand idevices music quality
@skyblaze
Anyone know if this is coming to Canada?
@skyblaze
Here is where I draw the line. That is too big. It's a effing tablet now.
@thes1ckness
This is mine bitches! :) from droid to incredible to x!
