I saw this, it's very cool. Pretty taxing on your system, though, totally rips through batteries.

I have to wait for Samsung to decide if they want to do a Froyo update for my phone or not. And Lord knows when HTC is gonna do the Sense UI for Froyo too. If they did I'd be all over the EVO. Sprint took forever to hook that shit up for 2.1 with the Hero.

Is this stuff legal? I'd think it infringes on some copyrights.

Man, for once your nerd truly (me) has no idea what everyone in this thread is talking about.

Cell phones are the last technological frontier for me. I still have my original, "free-with-the-plan", flip-open, -3G cell phone from mid-2005. It's still kickin', and I refuse to get another phone until it dies. It's the one thing with technology, when people ask me how to do something on their phone, I can honestly say, "I have no idea."

Froyo = android firmware 2.2 the new update.

providers and manufacturers don't really stay on the cutting edge of these updates. i know most android phones in canada are running 1.5 and 1.6.

But Googles Nexus one is their own phone. It can be purchased unlocked to any provider, and thus gets the benefits of updates strait from google.

Just trying out some cool features on 2.2

Flash works like a charm, and its what you expect from flash. The cloud to phone push is really neat and allows me to send a link form my computer strait to my phone with the push of a button. Turning my phone into a wifi hotspot is a really cool function too. Overall everything runs really smooth. Now i have to wait for 3.0 aka "Gingerbread"
