Exactly, I'm extremely interested in seeing how this works out. They are really sticking their nuts out and going for it.

While I agree, keep in mind that an update for those phones would still have been 3-4 months away. I'm sure that they know how many people typically upgrade at the 2 year mark and then looked at how time consuming it would be to get their bloated skin working within the phones limits and decided that it wasn't worth…

Yep. That example was for people that use no WiFi. From what I understand, the service allowed you more cellular use if you used more WiFi. So, if you spend a lot of your time on WiFi, then your cellular usage limits will increase.

I'm pretty sure that Verizon/Motorola were never sued by Lucas over the name.

"Neither of which have any advantage for Google."

You probably saw the Upload Music at the top right of the page. You have to go down to the song level and click next to the song title. You can only download one song at a time that way.

Except the audio quality on Pandora is pretty terrible.

There are two ways. If you have Google's Music Manager, you can set it to download to your computer automatically. Otherwise, you can download it from the Google Music player at music.google.com. Click on the little arrow to the right of the song title and select Save to Computer.

There's other services that do the same thing. I'm using Rhapsody at the moment since they bought out Napster. I tried Spotify but their App is F'ing terrible. Most of the time it thinks that I'm offline. Both of those Apps are on multiple platforms though.

Look at the battery stats to see what is using it.

There's a difference between running constantly and just being in memory. Android loads apps into memory automatically which is probably why it came right back. It's not going to just sit there with a bunch of available RAM.

The settings button is now in the notification bar. For older apps not updated to ICS, three little dots appear to the right of the "recent apps" button at the bottom. That's the options button. Compatible ICS apps or apps made for Honeycomb should display the menu at the top right.

Because they're too busy chatting instead of just getting on the damn elevator quickly =)

It's not a comparable phone, it's 16GB. For some reason companies think they can charge $100 for the extra 16GB.

And the HTC Rezound and the Droid Bionic when it came out. It seems like it's Verizon's 4G pricing plan.
