Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I have truly enjoyed browsing your weblog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!

I am a a person who will not use AT&T or Apple due to a lost iPhone and them actally telling me they could not (not would not) help find a lost device. As if AT&T doesn’t tract IMEI numbers upon each call and as if Apple doesn’t identify a device (serial number, etc.) with an iTunes account…

Anyway…

I am looking to get a new smartphone, and I am looking at Android. When the call is sent to the notification bar, is it still on speaker? Or is the call “on hold” for all intents and purposes?

I OFTEN give directions that I have to look up on a mapping site in order to get people places (don’t ask why…). To do so, I have placed them oh speaker and browsed the net to get the data.

Anyone mind answering that since I haven’t read all xxx replies :p

Thanks!

never mind, you can do what the iPhone can and manage whatever on a phone call. hmmm. Im a newbie and a girl, lol

I am confused, I just read a comment from a Droid user stating they read an email after receiving a phone call. Huh? I do understand the chached part in a sense. Making it readable…

But I am a Droid user (who is trying to find out the best apps to use and ways of utilizing my phone, #1 reason why I am on the boards :) but I can not even get into my contact list, read a text/email or broswe the web during any phone call and i have tried to open up stuff in notifucation bar and it does not allow me. I have also tried to go to my home screen and it does not allow me.

I thought I understood correctly that Verizon doesn’t have this capability.

But let me tell you, my last phone the LG Scoop (ha) I could do all of that and more. Seems odd and is a feature I really could use.

I am no professor with my Droid yet and half of the time I don’t understand some of the computer language referenced.

Im still trying to find out where the location of the internal memory (? no clue what is it called) is verses the sd card and how I can see what is saved or used up in both spaces…any help would be great.

I did this the other day with my HTC Hero on sprint. I was incredibly confused. I was in a call and backed out, went to to my browser and was viewing CNN all while still talking.

I’ve been doing that with my Droid forever, so I don’t know what ATT is talking about.

My mytouch 3g is great especially now that it is rooted with Cyanogen 4.2.5xxxxxxx. My only complaint with the mytouch is that i can be on the phone and use 3g for a few minutes but it will drop out while im on my way home. Home is OC and work is The Valley. I like to check google maps for the 50,000 freeway options i have to get home but after about 5 minutes on the phone my 3g drops out. As soon as i get off the phone the 3g comes back. It seems the phone drops the 3g when u leave a 3g area but wont pick it back up when u come back to 3g. So i can SOMETIMES do voice and data. Never a problem on wifi tho. Its not a perfect world but leaving verizons expensive plan and the clunky voyager for a sleek rooted mytouch and a savings of $40 a month is well worth it. Android will only get better, OH YEAH

I just called my Verizon Droid from my house phone, answered the call then hit the Home button and opened my eBay app and looked at auctions while the call was still active. I don’t know if it works with all apps but I did surf the net while on a call.

Apple is a piece of shit company. They always throw ads about features that are usually standard in most other devices or have been around for a long time. How can a supposed “smartphone” launch without MMS????

T-Mobile 3G coverage is a joke!
