verizon devour or i phone

I bought the Motorola Droid and love it! It even has this cool speech to text thing now so I can "speak" my text messages instead of typing them. Now if I could just teach the thing to understand my #### accent! It gets my speech about 95% of the time.

 

No i don't own laptop. My phone is as good a computer as i need.

 

I have a Blackberry Curve with Verizon, and use it tethered to my laptop. I have never been charged for going over 5 gig, and I usually am around 1 1/2 times that per month. I can receive phone calls while it is tethered, but it does disconnect me from the internet, temporarily. The same if I need to make a call. But one of my company's App's does not work while I am tethered.

 

I use the Verizon access manager program.

 

A steaming pile of crap if ever there was one. I hate that thing.

 

Well, I went and traded in my samsung for a devour. There just wasn't anything else interesting in the store. Only phone I know of with an aluminum case. The droid just looked cheaply made. I guess I'll be testing the unlimited data usage myself.

 

Hmm. The Devour will not tether by itself. I've been poking around and apparently tethering it is specifically forbidden in the ToS. Discussion of tethering is forbidden on the verizon forums and the unlimited data plan only applies to using the phone by itself. That's pretty interesting considering the salespeople in the store and the lady that called me from verizon all claimed that I could tether it and use as much bandwidth as I wanted. Someone is lying.

And pdanet just failed to install. This is starting to piss me off.

Hah, I got it. Now using the phone instead of the aircard. Now I'll just plug the aircard into the other laptop, network them and share the connection for twice the bandwidth.

 

The droid takes a ton of abuse. It's heavy BUT, it's durable. I have had mine for 5 months now and it takes one hell of a beating.
