Ask Engadget: Which Android phone should I get?

Oct 31st 2009 7:19AM on Engadget

Switching back and forth between two CDMA carriers is pointless if you want better cellular coverage. Sprint and Verizon have roaming agreements between them. Neither company wants you to know this, of course.

It'd be great if they made one of these for SCSI drives so I could check my old ones for long lost data before tossing them.

I hate this thing. Battery life is dreadful. It freezes, has errors, and it's just impossible to find things quickly. WM is beyond-convoluted, far worse than the PocketPC I'm familiar with. This OS was designed by a committee on drugs.

I'll be calling Sprint for an RMA in the morning.

Motorcycle rider here. Etymotic ER-6i. Sounds great. Cuts traffic noise significantly. Small size. Fits under helmet. If you have small ear canals like I do, pretty much every other option is too damn big.

Warning: Don't GPS and drive!

Feb 21st 2006 6:01PM on Engadget

Delorme had a Road Warrior version of Street Atlas that used voice recognition software running on a laptop. It didn't have a huge number of commands, but it definitely made management of GPS easier. It even responded to: Where am I? and Are we there yet?

Warning: Don't GPS and drive!

This is just another variation on: Can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

I've been using GPS in the car for ten years, first on laptops and now with self contained units. I use it on the motorcycle too. Whether it is safe or not depends on dozens of factors. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
