Well... unfortunately they sound fucked up on my Galaxy S, which has been my experience with most other headphones other than the ones that came with the phone.
I dont get why.. the plugs look the same.. its weird.
Sorry. Not sure if the Nexus S would have the same issues.

Ahhhh ffffuuuuck. Why is something so seemingly simple so complicated.

Galaxy S has some proprietary switch or some shit, only the stock ones work. If you root it, I think there is a work around.

Ah. I thought you meant no 'in ear canal.' See the difference between the UB5 and the others on that site. The UB5 are similar to the iPod ones in the way they fit, if you ask me.-Pyromaniac- said:

I just hate that feeling where sound is drowned out, that's my big beef. Shoving things in my ear is kind of annoying too but I hate the not being able to hear shit even when not playing music sound.
edit: hmm I wonder how it would work with the nexus S

I can hear outside sounds sort of...but when I talk it sounds like I'm in a bubble you know, and it kind of sounds like people on the outside of it are faint. I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE that.
Because we know you haven't had enough yet... looks like the Thunderbolt might actually be worth a @#!*% . *NOTE* BGR says this is listed as the EU GSM version
Rumored Specs:
Here's a couple things why this is more exciting.
1) Actual Qualcomm Dual-Core CPU (Version MSM8960, read about it over @ Anandtech) This would bring about power reduction and faster GPU performance.
2) Gingerbread 2.3 baked in with Sense UI 2.3 as well. (A big plus if you ask me)
3) The US version of this phone hopefully will have the same specs.
Anyways, actually looks promising now.

Really looking forward to this moto tablet

I'm thinking about doing it for my incredible too.
Ugh, I've got some bad news today...I have access through work to a 25% discount on my monthly fees with Bell...but I learned that it only works if I buy it at work, where the selection is rather limited, so I'm left with four equally unappealing options:
1. Get my Desire Z without contract, benefit from the discount ($500 + $52/month)
2. Get my Desire Z elsewhere with a 3-year contract (Free phone + $70/month)
3. Settle with another phone (either the inferior Desire or Samsung Galaxy)
4. Wait a few months until work gets new phone selection, cross my fingers hoping there's something good coming
5. Wait a few months until the new local carrier comes here and get a Nexus One
At or better makes no difference. He clearly meant that the iPhone 4 remains the highest resolution smartphone on the market, and one would expect at least one Android device to catch up at some point.

Well yeah, theoretically the human eye can not distinguish pixels on a screen with 320 ppi (at the typical distance smartphones are held away from the face when used). Anything improvements after that would nott be noticed by a human eye. It doesn't need to be a 3.5" screen with 960x640 pixel resolution. It could just a well be a 3" screen with a fewer number of pixels. But all the Android manufacturers (apart from that lone Chinese one?) seem maxed out at 800x400 pixel resolution on much larger screens that 3.5" and, like that Sony phone above, reduce the resolution for smaller screens. Is this Google's fault or the hardware folks?Totakeke said:
Nice avatar by the way.
Sharp's IS03 Android phone packs retina display, minus the branding pretenseCharred Greyface said:
It's not that it doesn't make a technical difference, but for argument's sake, the current benchmark is the Retina display's 960x640 resolution, still unmatched by Android device manufacturers (except one, it appears?). What's the point in arguing about currently theoretical resolutions (for the screen size, that is) if it has yet to catch up with the current best? We have to compare with what's on the market, not with what's in some obscure engineer's basement.Totakeke said:
But sure, if that makes you happy, of course they should shoot for better, Captain Obvious.
Meizu M9 also has a display resolution of 960 x 640.
Acer has a 4.8" smartphone coming out april 2011 with a 1024 x 480 resolution.
Although this doesn't match the retina display's pixel resolution, it comes closer than the current high-end standard of 800/854 x 480.
it'll be interesting to see if any manufacturers up the pixel resolution for their upcoming high-end phones at CES.

Just root it & flash to a 2.2 ROM, that's what I had to do with my vibrant. Its faster than the stock with Touchwiz ever wasWeenerz said:

I finally have my Desire HD. I don't really care about this dual core business when I know I'd never make use of the extra power. However I don't like how the menu pages seem to stutter on certain widgets. I didn't expect any slow down on this phone but that's exactly what I get in certain situations.
What is the procedure for rooting the phone and how can I tailor the phone to my needs?

Napoleonthechimp said:
Try a launcher from the market rather than one that comes with the desire hd, if that is the only place you are noticing slow down.. i recommend adwlauncher, launcherpro, or zeamlauncher.
If you want to go ahead with rooting and the works, your best bet would be to check out the Desire HD Android Development subforum on xda-developers and follow any guides they have for that
To be fair, that Sharp phone would technically work on CDMA networks here in the US, but I think you'd have to get around a whitelist on Verizon (not sure on Sprint either).RevoDS said:
The Meizu M9 is the better bet. That's pentaband GSM and would work in the US. It should also be much easier to get a hold of than the Sharp.

Oh, I can just replace the launcher without problems? I knew I got an Android phone for a reason.tabsina said:

The MSM8960 being in the Thunderbolt doesn't make sense because that isn't due out until 2012. The 1.5 GHz QSD makes more sense.

ADW is weird on my Droid, for example the launcher animation is very ugly and slow.

Are there any good Picross clones for Android?
I downloaded the Christmas version of Picranium and it seems decent, but it's not quite as smooth as Picross DS or some of the ones I've played on PC.
