I told you people don't want people with shorts taking pictures of them... **BRENT**

Awesome, Nate. Shall I recommend "ThanksKilling" as your inaugural viewing? **BRENT**

Czech it: http://lifehacker.com/5801720/how-to-install-netflix-on-almost-any-android-device **BRENT**

Scott got it working. Is yours still rooted? I think it wasn't working on rooted, but someone found a workaround. Let us know. **BRENT**

Uhmmm.... maybe? I tried to download earlier today, it said "1-5 downloads". Now it's 10,000-50,000. Oh well, I tried. I'm pretty sure you can get a full 2 hour movie on a charge, but I don't know how much battery you'd have left. **BRENT**

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient Doesn't work for all Android phones yet, but some HTC work and the Nexus S works. **BRENT**

Call up the store and see if they have the phone still. If they do, just social engineer your way into you seeing it again to wipe. I'm sure it happens quite a bit. Did you have a passcode or unlock "drawing" set up? If so, I'm sure they will wipe it without the possibility of even seeing anything of yours. I'd recommend setting up an unlock pattern for your phones. I can't stand the thought of someone getting into mine. **BRENT**

Hey... look at that. There was another page. Peter Rojas from gdgt (co-founder of Gizmodo and Engadget) has installed it on his Nexus S. Said it took a couple of tries, but it works. So... what kind of Quadrant scores are you gettin' with that puppy? **BRENT**

No guarantees, but I never used mine. It MAY be associated with the e-mail address. If so, just sign up and wait, but I'll see if I can dig around to invite someone, but haven't seen it so far. Shelly, check your PM in a minute. **BRENT**

Catching up with this thread, I guess I better throw some stuff out that I've picked up over the past month and change... Heady Nuggs - Flaming Lips - vinyl Medium Rare - Foo Fighters - vinyl T-Mobile G2x 4 - Head-Case Glencairns 1 - Head-Case Geneapalooza shirt (Blue) 1 - Head-Case Travel Team Small Aviator Elijah Craig 18 - (which, after those two glasses were poured, it was stolen from buddy's place ) Black Swan Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Download (now 77$ on Amazon... really? Really?) Oh, and the Stax Audio - The Warsaw Baroque Soloists - Concerto Avenna **BRENT**

Very nice phone. It's also stock Android, and the "flagship" right now for Google. Good choice. Go do this tomorrow. Some people like the customizations. I weep for those people. I picked up a G2x recently. Mmmmmm... dual core goodness. It's not perfect, but it's the first smartphone I've ever had that is good enough to be my only phone... and I'm RIDICULOUSLY picky about my phones. **BRENT**

Supposedly really good, but not necessarily pretty, wine app. I figured you kids should know about it. http://cor.kz/ **BRENT**

Hey Shelly, Glad you finally got something, and are digging Android. I just went from a Blackberry as my main device to a G2x (all touchscreen, 4" 800x480 screen, same as yours, running stock Android.) I love it. I'm not even using Swype right now, but they keyboard is rather fast. At 4", touchscreen keyboards aren't bad at all. I'd give your phone til near the return period, see after a week or two how it works for you. If you're still torn, take it back and wait for the Nexus S. It will be thinner/more pocketable, and having all the updates first would be rather nice. If you put the Nexus S top down in your pocket, the "bulge" at the bottom would be at the entrance of the pocket, making most of the phone feel even skinnier than it is. Just some thoughts. **BRENT**

Oh, LTE is fantastic, and you have an ACTUAL unlimited plan, IIRC. That's fantastic. I don't think you're going to really notice THAT much of a different over new phones for the next 4-6 months... in a year, though, it'll be noticeable. Then again, in a year, my dual core tegra 2 1ghz with 512MB ram isn't going to be uber snappy either. I think LTE is a decent trade off. Make sure you get the "app" that is an LTE switch. There was nothing to cut it off in the stock build (which is ridiculous), but it could quite possibly help you out on battery life, especially if you aren't in a place with really strong LTE signal. **BRENT**

Nice Nate! @Shelly... You should look into getting slightly inebriated and stumbling down to the Sprint store and czech out the Kyrocera Echo. I thought it was a joke at first, but it seems to actually be getting reviewed fairly well. G2x wise. The thing is 98% vanilla Froyo, dual core Tegra 2, 4" WVGA, and just BLAZING fast. I need to place an order for a mini-HDMI cable now. Oh... I also have sometimes access to a G-Slate now. I know two people with one. The one I got to play with had a live wallpaper on it, and it was distracting enough to where I couldn't really get into the whole Honeycomb experience without being distracted. Tried doing a video call from G2x to G-Slate, but the slate's app kept force closing. Did a CR-48 to G-Slate GChat call, though... worked great! **BRENT**

Just got my T-Mobile G2x with Google by LG It's stupid fast. First Android phone I've had in a while. Oh happy day. **BRENT**

Head(-Case)Fest NYC? **BRENT**

You didn't happen to do it on Saturday, did you? Verizon stopped doing 1 year contracts on Sunday, which is a shame. The Thunderbolt is a solid machine (played with a co-worker's the other day), but it's the age of dual core right now, and in another year, it will be be Tegra2 and dual core Snapdragon (and A5/whatever Samsung calls their chip) from here on out. Once software catches up and utilizes it (6-10 months for majority adaptation), the single cores (even 2nd gen Snapdragon) is going to feel a little sluggish. By the 16-18 month mark, when quad-core tablets are all the rage, and quad core phones are trickling out... the single core phones are going to be nigh upon painful. **BRENT**

So I just started reading this thread (have a day to kill). I just wanted to say "I hate you both." That's all for now. **BRENT**

Does anyone else see a demonic looking skull with horns in this table, or is it just me? **BRENT**

Alright, thanks guys. Wasn't sure how many of the regular ones there would be, now I'm kinda bummed I didn't get the colored box. Glad you guys did, though. I hit four shops today, though, with three of them I've never been to before. Met some probably good people, so I'll head back at some point. There is shop I found, and independent CD store, who said he had first shot at RSD releases, but he passed on most everything... he just started carrying vinyl, and it seems to be kinda big with people the past few weeks, so I think he's going to expand. He is going to put in an order for the FLips box, Foo Fighters cover album, Gorillaz (I think), and a Nirvana EP reissue "Hormoaning". I'm pissed I didn't pick up the last copy of Green Day's "39/Smooth". I was too focused on hitting the only other shop supposedly participating (turns out they were on the big site, but in-store had NO idea of the "event".) I did wind up picking up SOME stuff while there, though. Criterion Collection LaserDiscs: Akira Spinal Tap Samurai I Samurai II Samurai III Now I'm going to need to get a LaserDisc player (or, you know, sell these). **BRENT** Edit: @JP, did you want a regular FLips box set too? The guy is pretty sure he can get them, and even asked if I wanted multiples (some other stores were only selling one of each item, it seems).

Hey DP, you DO know that the colored ones are only 120 gram, and the in-store is 140 gram, so you have to get both, right? (I'm trying to see if one of the two local shops here will have it in-store). **BRENT**

Vibram FiveFingers are great. Fitz has horrible fashion sense and is quite possibly a monkey... but not in a good way. I'm seriously tempted to pick up this pair as my 3rd... **BRENT**

And to end it, for Matt... It's Friday, Friday! **BRENT**
