N1 + iPad = Perfect Match

I'm on the road with my brothers, I'm Running wireless tether on my N1 and I am able to browse the Internet on this gorgeous big screen. I'm typing this up on it right now! My brother knows nothing about rooting or anything of that nature. So he is pretty amazed that my phone can do this that he now wants to get an Android phone. Possibly an N1 too.

thats soo cool dude. i want an iPad rather much. gonna wait for the version 2.0 though i believe.

I thought the iPad couldn't tether.
Maybe just not with an iPhone

ipad can connect wifi... n1 can provide connectivity for wifi devices =)

omg how???

The games on the ipad look like a lot of fun. I think in a few months we can expect Android to get some more of the big game development companies to start making games like NBA Live.

dahhh it says my kernel is bad or something

I have been wondering exactly who ipads appeal to as I know no one who wants one or is planning on buying one. I am old though so it is probably more an age thing than anything else. Glad you are digging it, a new toy is always good.

The iPad is a great device. I played with it at the Apple store this weekend.
However, it's not much more than an entertainment device. The lack of multitasking, and a real file system kills it for me. Productivity is possible, but without those two, it suffers greatly.
Add those two, and a camera, and now we're talking.
I'll wait for version 2.0, or the Chrome Tablet. Check out the pics / video:

Is the EVO battery that unique? Honestly I was hoping to see the whole phone with a bullet hole in it... but this will have to do.
And does warranty cover that? lol

Yes it is that unique, it stops bullets! Dont you watch the news? haha

The Evo is also mentioned by name at the end of the CBS Atlanta clip.
As a footnote, the bullet was traveling at a very shallow angle judging from the damage to the battery. Definitely not a straight on shot.

The Police are going to refund him to buy another phone, They kept his phone as evidence in the crime. So he won't have to use none of his insurance, if he has any.

It must have been a .22 that hit him.

What a great story! if you watch the video clip, the newscasters mention the "evo cellphone" three separate times. very nice!

That's nothing. My EVO saved my life by donating a kidney. I love you, EVO.

My Evo saves me when I get hungry. I have an app that turns on my stove, and the toaster and the Ravioli boils. Through WiFi.
Just kidding... this is an incredible story lol

It was stated in the report that it was a 40 cal round that hit the phone.

They should start issuing Evos to our troops in Afghanistan.

"Now Garber is waiting for endorsements, "Sprint can contact me whenever they would like or HTC.""
Wow..really? What a tool. I am glad the cell phone saved his life and all, but why would you get endorsements? You didn't do anything special, you just got shot and it just so happened the cell phone was there. Now, it would be different if he got shot at, he grabbed the phone and deflected the shot..ha.

was the phone rooted and what rom and kernel....that is what makes a phone tougher!!! i am sure the batt was stronger with the htc battery trick for full charge

new evo commercial
this is android
and this is a battery
and this is a user that uses a phone that is faster then a speeding bullet.

car crash me!

So I played with another phone today...

Guys, try not to convince yourself by convincing others our once state of the art phone is somehow better than phones that are coming out now.
Your phone is not your significant other.
If you like another phone on a different carrier, its ok! It's ok to like other sexy phones. It's only human nature. If think your phone will get jealous fret not. It is only a smartphone.

Same here, but im not rooting hers though.

I think it's important not to lose sight of the primary purpose of your cell phone. For some it's voice, for others it's data capabilities. Once these priorities have been sorted out, then you should choose a carrier based on coverage of area you're in most. Finally you can start deciding on the handheld itself. Choosing a carrier based on devices they offer makes little sense. Look at at&t... in most areas (esp rurual), their coverage is crap, and even in the metro area (ie, chicago), dropped calls are still common. Of course, budget supersedes any and all of this.

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a
pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

Pretty cool! Why can't they start making stuff like that more ofen for androids? I guess they change so much. Hopefully they stick with the design for the atrix for the next few years and there will be more of a market for our phones.

It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.
Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.
Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.

this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months

Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.

I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?
Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?

I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.

Well it's been two days and there is some bad news after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.

According to newkidd Sprint should be able to repair it for free without replacing it since the screen and the phone itself works perfectly and I have TEP.

That sucks man, but at least it's just cosmetic. Hopefully Sprint gets it fixed up for you nice and quick.

I do, but the app wasn't installed, so it doesn't work :'(
And I tried to install plan b, I read lifehackers post on it awhile ago, but these people were expert thieves, they changed the service to another phone, and tried to make a purchase with it almost immediatly. Luckily, the charge was canceled and I ended service for the phone, then they sent me the new phone I'm currently using.
I would have loved it to work, but alas, sad. My only concern now is if there is a way to deauthorize that phone from my google account. Other than that, as soon as I get around to rooting this thing, I'll be fine.

Ouch!! That looks painful.. Poor shift!

I broke my screen digitizer a few weeks ago. Luckily I was able to buy one off ebay and replace it myself. The only thing that I did wrong was I didn't really reglue it down to the frame, so dust and dirt has been getting underneath the screen (which you can see behind bright backgrounds). BTW, if anyone breaks theirs, here's a great video on how to take apart the whole phone.
