Loving CM7. This shit is quick! No overclocking really necessary.

This might sound odd but, I think I like the HTC G2 better than my Nexus S

growing fond of HTC Sense UI?

[Mike]

I'm running launcher pro so I don't know how much of it I actually see. It just seems like a faster device. I have to say that I've been very impressed with every HTC product I've owned.

It seems like HTC has been putting out some really good stuff.  Everybody I have talked to loves their phones.  I just wish I liked the Android format more.  I would have gone with a HTC if I did't get my current phone.

I like the build quality of the HTC products. very sturdy in the hand.  but I'm not running stock software, and I really didn't like the version of Sense that came on it stock.. howver, the Sense 3.5 launcher I was a fan of.  The only big gripe I have about it is the useless dock.  I like customizing that dock and having shortcuts instead of a basically useless "personalize" button and a giant phone button.

I noticed there was an Android speaker dock near all the iPod speaker docks yesterday when I was working in one of my stores.  Kinda interesting.

any one running extended batteries ? i think the stock roms are crap when it comes to power management

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

I'm using an extended battery on my Droid X. However, the ROM I am using gets bad battery life because of the way CM7 has to be loaded on our phones. I get around 12-14 hours a day. If I was running one of the stock customized roms, I would get over 24 hours of use lol.

extended battery, no.. second battery, yes.. and i'm still on the OG Droid.  I can't wait to see how bad battery management will be with LTE on the Galaxy Nexus.. might be purchasing a second battery for that as well, lol..

4G is battery murder.

[b_beau_09]

I don't have an extended battery.. but I've been off the plug since about 7:30am.  it's now 4:30pm, and I'm only down to 80%.  I'm running a custom MIUI rom with the tiamat kernel (overclocked and undervolted).  I'm not using a cpu controller, just what's built into the tiamat kernel and MIUI.  I could go about 45 hours at this rate..

vlingo is where its at.

So I think I finally hit a point where I need to request a phone from work..

but I'm not sure what to go with..

I can go with either iOS, Android, or Blackberry.  I'm leaning towards a blackberry since there's a timesheet app for blackberry.  Also, my personal phone is Android, so I think I might want something different.

I've narrowed it down to the Blackberry 9930, Blackberry 9800, or Blackberry 9780.  For Android, it'll be between the Atrix or Droid 3 Global.  The iPhone 4S is in the device catalog as well..

Anyone have any reviews on any of those phones?
