I was going to wait for the bionic but I saw that its going to have motoblur on it and I'm not a huge fan of that stuff. My droid with no extra interface was really nice but given the choice between sense and blur I like sense better. It does look like a solid phone though, we will see how the duo core does as it specs out at the same ghz as the thunderbolt. The other thing that got me was that the thunderbolt has more Ram than the bionic did (at least on paper) so I think in most situations its actually faster? Who knows though. I have always had great luck with Motorola stuff lasting longer than the others.

Anyway, I did get around a little bit this week and found that 4g works at my work in Wayzata, at home in Brooklyn Center, and surprisingly out in Blaine, Maple Plain and Waconia. So as far as coverage goes it has been pretty good since its advertised as being Minneapolis. We will see how it does out of town but I am happy with what it has done so far.

If you don't like Motoblur I would think you could flash with a custom sense ROM.

I just rooted my EVO for the first time and now experimenting with different ROMs. I'm sticking with Sense ROMS though.

Yeah I think I will give this phone 6 months and see about rooting it. I am supposed to be getting 2.3 pretty quick :rolling eyes: so we will see what changes with that. It would be nice to get rid of the bloatware since I don't use any of the facetube and Twitter stuff, but I will get on top of that if 2.3 isn't what its cracked up to be.

The only two things I can say I am not happy with so far is the virtual keyboard compared to the virtual keyboard on my droid 1.0 and the fact that I can't figure out how to keep my phone awake while its plugged in to a power source. But the speed and screen make up for it. I am still stunned by how much 4g coverage there is around here too.

Beware when you download keyboard apps is you are downloading software you are not very familiar with. It can be the app sends information at any keystroke to somebody out there.

There's a warning about this when you change your Android keyboard.

good info, you should also see what the app you download needs access to. it should not need your "network" connection.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
