    finally pulled the trigger- upgrade to HD on Dish.

    We finally upgraded to a 722k about a month ago and the difference in PQ is amazing. I'm currently watching Texas- Rice in glorious HD. :D

    crt whine

    Yep, though how loud it is seems to depend on the Television. I have an older Mitsubishi television that doesn't really make a noise but I had a relatively new walmart piece of crap that was so "loud" that you could hear the whine outside of the room. I replaced it with a good Sharp HDTV and now...

    What TV Commercials Drive You Crazy?

    The Shaq and Ben Stein Comcast commercials are pretty funny. YouTube- New Comcast Shaq and Ben Stein Commercial Also I can't stand those new Esurance commercials. They drive me up the f-ing wall whenever they come on.

    Whats Dish going to charge me for a 722?

    So I chatted with Dish and they said there would be no receiver fee increase if I upgrade my 625 to a 722 and my 322 to a 222 with Top 200 and free HD for life. I find this hard to believe so is this really true?

    DISH Network June 3rd FAQ's

    I have been out of contract for about 6 months and was thinking about taking advantage of the free HD for life. I was expecting to pay to upgrade the box but if they are also charging for installation then it would be more worth it for me to drop Dish and sign up for Direct considering all the...

    AT&T isn't the only one with privacy issue - Droid incredbile does too.

    If my phone got lost or stolen they would have access to my saved passwords and emails anyway. I've looked through these screenshots and they are the same bookmark thumbnails that show up in my browser. So It's really a non issue. Sent from my HTC Incredible using Tapatalk

    Favorite mobile OS?

    Android without a doubt but I would gladly take Web OS on a more powerful device than what Palm currently offers. Sent from my HTC Incredible using Tapatalk

    Are all Android phones the same?

    As far as Sense, keep in mind you can substitute it with another launcher. Right now I am running Launcher Pro and it works great. I still have no idea where people are getting the idea that Sense bogs down the device. Maybe that's true with other devices but it is smooth as butter on the...

    Switching to Verizon

    Using the handy widget I usually keep GPS and Bluetooth off and Wfi on whenever I am near an open network to maximize battery life. Congrats on the switch, Verizon's network rocks.

    Can't pick a new phone

    I've owned both and while the Droid was not terribly slow there was a noticeable lagginess at times. It was most annoying when doing any type of scrolling such as app menus or web pages. The Incredible definitely doesn't have that laggy feel to it. Sense and Snapdragon have the fluid feel that I...

    Droid? Or Incredible/Desire

    I have had both the Droid and the Incredible. Without a doubt I would recommend the Incredible. The Droid is a great piece of hardware and definitely not obsolete, but I feel the Incredible is overall a better phone. The Droid had slight lag problems and the physical keyboard was practically...

    Verizon HTC Droid Incredible

    Received mine on Thursday and it truly is an Incredible phone. I never thought I would like HTC Sense as much as I do. It gives the phone more of a webOS feel which I like. The bigger processor completely eliminates the slight lag I would have with the Droid (not overclocked though). The only...
