Just curious. Just seeing if would be worth my while to work on creating this.

I'm on a Droid but also do IPod touch. What would the app do? Would like to see it Droid compatible.

[THE KID]

Sorry Rob, on Verizon.

XL, my Verizon contract is up and i've been looking to upgrade. Is the Droid worth 200 bones?

I was looking at the Blackberry Tour as well, but now i'm reading the Tour2 is supposed to come out in the next month or so.

This will be my first Smartphone and really, all i'm looking for is to check box scores at games, e-mail & a little Twitter action. Do i really need all the apps and such with the Droid or is it too good not to have?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thx!

[RobVol]

Well basically it could what you want it to. Actually I found out I can build droid as well. Around mid year though.

Basically I can set it up to get all your RSS feeds to the app for all topics you guys want and breaking news set up and maybe even main Vol forum topics read right through the app which is faster than browsing.

Kid, I never thought I wanted a smartphone until I got this thing. I had been with Verizon long enough that I got the upgrade for $99. You might check on that. Now that I have seen what it can do, I would have gladly paid $200.

It has a 5MP camera, runs GPS (making a separate GPS unit unnecessary), has Google maps built in (it's a Google based operating system), and the apps are amazing. I use the WiFi analyzer to find available networks. I used GPS to map a route in the mountains that I would never have been able to repeat otherwise - used a tracking app for that which maps my trail onto the Google map and saves it for future reference. I downloaded a flashlight app that comes in handy. I have weather forecasts, satellite weather radar, multiple e-mails, internet, compass, guitar tuner, and it will locate any type of business you want. I was in Atlanta and it showed me the cheapest gas prices around, location of all Italian restaurants, and then it will pull up phone numbers automatically and verbally guide you turn-by-turn using GPS to whichever business you select. I can get views from every traffic camera in every major city in the US, and the games are great too. I have several that my 6-year-old loves, and keeps him occupied when I need to. The power and versatility of this thing is amazing. I didn't need it before, but I can't function without it now. And so far I haven't paid a dime for a single application.

I post on VolTalk on it too. Whic of course, is the number one priority.

So yeah, I would recommend it. And one funny thing - my I-phone buddies are jealous.

Thank you XL

That about cinches it. I've been looking or some feedback on the Droid from someone who's owned one. All my more advanced IT/programmer type friends all jumped on the iPhone bandwagon right away. So while they'd said good things about it, i haven't conversed w/anybody that has one.

I'm just going to do a little more looking and/or keep my eyes open for a better deal on the Droid.

But one of my buddies nailed it. He said "You'd not think twice about ringing up a $120 bar/beer/wings tab on an all day bender, WTF are you doing worrying if something this good cost $150 or $200. You won't know how you lived before w/o mobile web access, so just get it and join the rest of us in 2006"

I hate it when my friends are right...

Prost XL

I only use my phone for talking (yeah call me an old timer).

[LakeVol]

As an avid Iphone user, I would love and help support a VolTalk Iphone app. Most of the time I am on the site, is through my Iphone. (The damn thing is attached permanently to my hand at this point)

[TecVol]

Same here, i-Phone all the way. When/if this ones goes out, I will buy another.

Hate ATT though.

Another reason I like the Droid.

And my red map is denser than your blue map.

[RobVol]

OK guys thanks.

I think I will create an Iphone app for members here

[ITVol]

We're hearing that there is the possibility the iPhone will be on Verizon in the summer. Look for some news next week. I have an iPhone, the Droid, the Eris, the Nexus One, and the HD Touch Pro (U.K. version), and all comes down to what you want in a phone. Gotta say, not real impressed, but that's strictly from a business/enterprise point of view. I'm testing all of these phones for work trying to find a happy business phone. Waaaaaay off topic, but yeah I'd like a Vol Talk iPhone app.

Yes, I have always found Red to be denser than Blue

[THE KID]

Yes, RED...Mother Russia...The Bear...Hammer & Sickle!!!....

And one of my favorite & underrated Eastwood movies...



Now this is off topic....

Love my Iphone

[auduaa]

I'm always on my iPhone searching for new football and recruiting news. I always find myself on the govolsxtra app. It would be sweet if the app had an alert system also.
