    what i mean is to sit it and watch a dvd at a meeting or dinner..

  3. JohnPariahPWX says:

    you dont have to have the media stand to watch movies / videos on the Droid.

  4. vullrath says:

    what i dont like about the droid is the sit and watch dvd feature – u have to buy the media stand for 30 bucks. with the back flip u just flip it… for um free.. =/

  5. JohnPariahPWX says:

    my e button works fine…as does everyone else’s. i have NO idea where you heard that from.

    the battery door issue with the Droid was resolved within a shipment or two. most people never had an issue with it.

    Battery life will last you a solid 10-12 hour work day. Again, it varies on use. PDA / Smartphones are expected to only last a day at best. Expect to chare it nightly.

    get the Droid.

    I was like droid… or the backflip… well come to find out the motorola backflip will be with at&crap so I guess I will be getting the droid. Hope it doesn’t suck. read some reviews online and it has a sucky battery and the E button doesnt work.. the back that holds the battery falls off alot.. so who knows…

  7. JohnPariahPWX says:

    UStream has a Broadcaster application, that allows you to do just that good sir.

    I’ll be getting the Droid probably next week. It came down to the AT&T’s iPhone or the V’s Droid. Both phones seem to be pretty awesome. But then I had to find out what the deposit would be for somebody with no credit history. AT&T told me 500.00. Verizon told me 125.00. That pretty much settled it lol. I’ll be leaving AT&T for the V. Can’t wait to get my hands on that Droid! BTW, is there a live streaming app? Like an app that allows the person to stream a live video to the internet? Just askin

  11. joey20112 says:

    How do you get this?

  12. JohnPariahPWX says:

    you have to go into the individual program and set the notification color. the Default messaging app doesn’t allow this, so I would suggest downloading Handcent SMS. It’s a nicer, more feature rich messaging app, that does allow you to change the LED color in the settings menu.

  13. jfdyj says:

    thanks for all your help man but I downloaded an app thats called led scroller and I set the color to red but when I get text and alerts etc. the flashing color is still green like it is usually (i wanna change it to blink all colors if possible or red)

  14. JohnPariahPWX says:

    Motorola had said this week. But it might be getting puashed back. Doing a hard reset will wipe your phone down to stock os and factory settings

  15. JohnPariahPWX says:

    Color led: I use an app called handcent sms for my text messaging. In the settings u can change the led flash color.

    News widget: yeah I added the wrestling channel. Under settings hit add channel and u can add custom channels.

  16. jfdyj says:

    And I notice the light on your droid at the top(the one that blinks like if you get a text message or alert) is blue…mine is green how come?? And can I change mine to a different color? And with the news gene widget you explained I noticed there was a category for wrestling …did you make that like a shortcut or something or does that widget have like categories? please respond thanks

  17. jfdyj says:

    Hey do you know the release date for 2.1? and also when it comes out can I still switch beteen the old one and 2.1 or when I download 2.1 theres no going back?

  18. JohnPariahPWX says:

    In beautiful widgets? Yes. They’re smoother and it doesn’t bog yor phone down like some skins do.

  19. teamtwisted says:

    Nice video! I also have a question. Are the weather animations that much different on the “update” I am one of the last hold outs on the old HTC clock and skin. Thank you in advance.

  20. RANDOM1Z3R says:

    Like the poster below you write the moto droid is better in almost every way. It also runs a newer version of Android.

  21. josuearisty says:

    niceeeeeeeee, Droid best phone!!!

  22. GHostZSHadow says:

    “screw the nexus one, droid still the way to go”
    I’m right with ya there

  23. JohnPariahPWX says:

    yes boss. you will be able to upgrade to 2.1 when it is officially released. Odds are you will get a little pop up that says THERE IS A NEW SOFTWARE PATCH AVAILABLE. DO YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL?

    or something to that ilk,

    enjoy!

  24. mpaek25 says:

    Once the official update is released, do you know how I would be able to upgrade?

  25. JohnPariahPWX says:

    Yeah, the Droid should be getting the flash update first. can not wait.
