It's definitely taking longer to charge. It's been plugged in for a couple of hours and only at 85%. It usually achieves 100% in about 30min, 1h max.

No, both USB 2.0.

Why don't you use another map source instead, such as MapLink?

They might steal the car itself. And leave behind the Bible and the scraper...

Tasker can do that, no problems:

Strictly talking about contact apps, I recommend DW Contacts. It has a hand full of tools to manage groups, ringtones, find contacts by name, company, etc, etc, and has a good dialer. And it has a call-blocking feature with white/black lists.

I still use my Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, Android 2.1, rooted. I would love something like a SAmsung Galaxy S II or a Motorola Razr, or a Samsung Galaxy Tab, or Note.
