Cricket to Launch Android Phone btw, Phonescoop.com says the Ascend has a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7625 but Phonearena.com says it has a 600 mhz processor lol wtf. The Touch PRO 2 is running a Qualcomm? MSM7200A™, 528 MHz ppocessor mhmmm so about the same as the Ascend. I wonder if running Android 2.1 vs the 6.2 Windows Mobile, which is faster.
Cricket to Launch Android Phone Yea, Im going to get a case for it and use it mainly for web browsing. The 30 minutes thing really has me irrked. I returned my Boost phone within 30 days to best buy no questions asked cause I didnt like it. I wont have the money for a new phone for 2 weeks, and its almost the end of the month so It would suck if I get the Ascend and then Cricket gets the update for the Zio right after. The Zio may be faster with the update, it seems a little slow now. But Ive read that the touchscreen isnt that responsive.. maybe thats also due to the older Android?
Cricket to Launch Android Phone How do you chaose which keyboard to use for diff things? Can you set a certian keyboard just for the TXT messages, and another for the browser you use, ect?
Cricket to Launch Android Phone I have the HTC Hero keyboard on my Zio. There are instructions on how to install it and the file to install online. I use both Shapewriter and the Hero keyboard (and a Korean keyboard) for different things. Shapewriter is better for writing text messages or other complete sentences and paragraphs. The Hero keyboard is better for search boxes or typing urls in the browser.
Cricket to Launch Android Phone Yea I tried out both at the store last night, Im not sure how much I like the Ascend. Typing on it seems really weird. It doesn't seem to have any preemptive text like the Hero does. I made a lot of spelling errors when trying to type on it. I really liked the Hero when I had it with Sprint. I wonder if I should just buy one of those on Ebay and use it. Do you know how difficult it is to activate a Hero on Cricket?
Cricket to Launch Android Phone I checked out the Zio at a Sprint store and they have it running Android 2.1. Android 2.1 isn't on the Zio on Cricket yet. I read that the Zio has a better processor. If you compare them on PhoneScoop you might find the difference. The phone does come with a warranty. If it stops working over the 30 minutes and 30 days that's all I can recommend. You might want to be careful with it at first to be sure you want to keep it.
Cricket to Launch Android Phone I've got a guy I can call. I've recently decided I'm going to be getting the Zio instead of a flashed HTC so I just called him up and asked if I can get any info on him. Regrettably, most of my contacts are in the sports world, not cellular technology. :[
Cricket to Launch Android Phone I've had the Zio for three days now. I walked right into a corporate Cricket store here in Cincinnati and they had some in stock - the rep told me they initially got four, and then got eight earlier in the day. So supplies right now are limited. Overall I like the phone, but do have a couple of minor quibbles: The screen isn't as touch-responsive as I'd like it to be, compared to an iPod Touch. Battery life isn't that great. I don't like how the keyboard pops up when you go to read a text. Haven't found a way to turn that off. Speaking of the keyboard, it's way too crammed in portrait mode. If you've got wide fingers (I don't...), it'll be a nightmare typing. This is the first time I have owned a "smartphone", and overall it's not a bad phone, given its limitations.
Cricket to Launch Android Phone So, by your rational: If you are developing a device and the current version is 1.6 and by chance into your development cycle, 2.1 comes out you should just axe everything at that point and start again with 2.1?
