    Re: Android Phones

    Yippee!
    After much browsing of the web, I saw a link to some android tips on an email newsletter today, not much use in themselves as they rely on the Nexus one trackball. But by then trying a different google search I came across a Samsung tips page that tells me I can bring up a cursor keyboard on my swype keypad.
    Press the swype key (the one with the i and a squiggle) and swipe to the SYM key next to it.
    Voila, a whole new keypad with all the buttons needed to select and move around text.

    That and the Dolphin HD browser with tabbed browsing and gesture input makes me a very happy chappy.
    Now I just draw an R on the screen in my browser and I see all the recent coffeesnobs posts. 8-)

    I also have a whole load more tips and user guide pages to read, no doubt Ill learn more about what Ive been missing over the last 6 months.
    Course the phone currently crashes or hangs once a day, but thats life with prerelease s/w.

      Damn I saw tonight that the UK release for the new Samsung has been put back to May from mid March. Itll take ages to get here...

        Mmmm, home cooked ROM, are there RomSnobs yet. Are you just doing modifications on vanilla android or is it more serious?
        Im not quite at that stage, though not sure Ill invest the time for home-cooked ROMs. Much more time-efficient to just jump around the ROMs that others have baked. CyanogenMod 7 is working quite nicely for me (and probably the one Ive been most satisfied with actually - very nice to use)

          Great deal on the Galaxy S at the moment - $0 on the $29 plan with Vodafone.

          If youre after an Android smartphone, this deal would be hard to beat.

            Great Deal - I think it needs more data though.
            200Mb is pretty paltry - especially if you are wanting to actually use the power of the phone/Android.
            Data add-on packs arent too much though.
            And you do all your downloading on wifi.

            Currently Im quite happy on my Milestone 1 - running Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread 2.3.3), overclocked to 1GHz plus some memory tweaks.

              Id like to throw in a vote for Tapatalk. I do most of my social stuff on the iPad or phone and CS is a little tough on smaller screens. Not terrible, but not great. Tapatalk works awesomely well.
