Verizon getting an Android phone (with WiFi tethering!) via Open Development program?

Oct 13th 2009 12:29PM on Engadget Mobile

Well said,

The worst part about this is its ridiculous to charge $15. I pay for up to 5gb of data on my phone, what it matter if its on a Phone or a tethered laptop?

I feel you on the trusting MS updates, they keep trying toupdate my LAN driver in my server. Each time that happens it becomes inoperable. Nonethe less every couple of months a new driver comes out that does the same thing.

IS anyone having trouble with the msmpeng.exe service? I decided to give this a try, but the a formentioned service is hovering around 80-99% usage intermittently.

The problem happens on a copy on Vista business and on an install of Vista ultimate. I guess this is how MS plans on stopping viruses on your ocmputer- you cant use it!

seriously, the entire system comes to a halt to wait for this exe do finish doing whatever its doing. sometimes its 5 minutes, sometimes if 5 hours. Ridiculous.

New WinMo 6.5 build shows fingers even more love

In their defense they are trying to gradually move away from stylus driven navigation. I agree though, as it stand there is a great deal of need to switch from finger (convenience) to stylus (precision).

New WinMo 6.5 build shows fingers even more love

As godawfully ugly as it is, its about time MS realized that these devices are used more and more often with your finger. Welcome to 2009 MS.

I cant wait to try these buttons out, now if MS could just eliminate the random lag/ freezing I'd be happy.

LG releases first official shots of BL40 "New Chocolate"

Jul 30th 2009 10:30AM on Engadget Mobile

I'm more worried about breaking this phone when its in my pocket. Its definitely long.

I'm also worried about the horrible things Verizon will do with the UI when it gets a hold of this phone.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
