So $149?

I was in Lincoln Nebraska last week with a guy who had the Maxx and he charged his phone like once. He wasn't using it much but I charged my Voyager 3 times.

I dread the virtual keyboard and thats what is holding me back at this point.

My wife and I BOTH upgraded to it this week. Love them, and a great deal going on. So much faster than my old Droid X. I was in Downtown MPLS last night and logged into a facilities wifi - which ended up being slower than the 4g!

Businesses have open wifi, especially big ones, where they are shooting the connection right through the windows. Very high speeds, like T3.

I was in Edina and hit 15mb down.

Manual says one charge per day on regular use and 16 days standby.

How do you make the touch screen less sensitive? Barely touch it and it reacts, often hitting the letter next to the intended one?

This is why I keep getting phones with the slide out keyboard. I went ahead and got the Droid 4 last night. So far I am really liking it. Much better than my Droid 2.

Download one of the custom keyboard apps and adjust the key size to your liking. I really like Thumb Keyboard, it has so many options and configurations to build a keypad that works for you

Here's my custom keypad that works great and I rarely fatfinger the keys anymore.

Verizon Wireless $199 - $30 - $50 + 30 (upgrade fee)

what is the upgrade fee? I have been thinking about getting ride of my blackberry and getting that phone, I have verizon, and did not see anything about a upgrade fee.

how is your reception? I have had problems with my blackberry dropping calls when I am up north, never a problem when I had T-

250.00

seemed a little high, but best buy had them for 300.00

I still need to get used to how the apps run, there is no way to shut them off like my blackberry did. using the back key on the blackberry would still let the app run, and its the only key I have to get off the app on the razr, so I am not sure if the app is closing correctly.

any help on this would be appreciated, thanks.

Just a little FYI ~ on MAXX. Played 18 holes of golf using a Golf GPS app. The phone was fully charged at the beginning and after 4 hours of constant GPS use it was only down to 70% from 100%. Not too shabby!!!! Really happy with this phone.

I still love my Maxx. Still despise when I have to use the wife's X2.

I tried upgrading to a Samsung S3 about a week ago, but when I found put V's new share everything plan would actually increase my monthly bill $60/month, I decided I will stay grandfathered in with the unlimited data instead.

I was going to pass my Maxx onto my wife, and if I hated the S3, give that to her and go back to my Maxx.

That is all for naught, now anyways.

Love the MAXX. Battery life is insane. I'm a field consultant and my phone stays charged all day while working and then even all night while out in the boat.

This is the first android I have had that doesnt need an additional charge throughout the day if I plan on going out in the boat later.

      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.
