any mini from 2007 or later.

@Isetta: that.

@JMKarstetter: i've owned 2 hybrid CDMA devices. a blackberry 8830WE and a blackberry tour, both on sprint. i still use the tour when i leave the US, actually, and i put my cousin's t-mobile card in the phone once just to see what would happen. it worked fine.

because sprint needs to put itself another few billion in debt, and merge with another company that uses an entirely different network technology to further complicate things.

@wolfshades:

if you have a task manager, you'd see how a lot of factory apps randomly go on and off on the phone. i'm an extremist when it comes to not letting bloatware kill my battery life, i mean i bought an extended battery for my evo and a nokia booklet, justifying both purchases because the devices i was using at the time…

my limited edition ken block DC pro spec shoes slip off and back on just as quickly, and cost $40 less. not to mention how much better they look.

only if it doesn't force me to install other amazon apps.

@Shane MacPhee: i'd assume amazon would set similar policy, maybe even take slightly less of a cut. developers aren't even gonna bother with 2 android app markets if the more ubiquitous one also has less margins than the amazon version.

QR only needs a camera and an internet connection. i have a year and a half left on my phone contract, you're not gonna get me to buy a new phone at full price just to use some fancy RFID-based tech. being easy to implement and, thanks to QRDroid, easy to make tags yourself is a very practical feature.

if you're not at a really noisy dive bar, sure.

i left one of the extra batteries for my evo in my pocket one day, and it went into the wash that way.

everything on this list is either counter-productive, easier with a QR code, or related to foursquare. therefore, i don't think i want NFC in any of my phones, ever.

i've heard rumbler sirens at work before, i actually considered rigging one to the horn in my mini cooper as a lifeprank...erm, way of making sure people know my car is there so they don't hit it, they're pretty cool stuff.

flash performance on firefox is still gimped by apple's incomplete support of flash. i forget exactly how they managed, but it was some API issue bullshit if i remember correctly. chrome wouldn't make a difference.

irony: this flash video won't play properly on my apple computer due to imcomplete flash support by apple.

end-all solution to anyone with voicemail issues: youmail. it's free, it has a UI just like the regular android visual voicemail's, and it has just as many features as google voice. granted, the free version has ads and doesn't transcribe your voicemail into text, but i only check my voicemail once in a while, so i…

oh, if your screen is cracked, then there's not much advice i can give you for that. sorry to hear that. but as long as cyanogen's team is working on HTC phones, your hero still stands a chance of getting new features when possible. hopefully that will hold you over to december, and by then there will be either a…

@sirrix: i hated hipsters before hating hipsters was cool.

my buddy ordered a snow leopard upgrade disc a few weeks after it first hit shelves. amazon sent him 2 copies by accident, and he gave me the second copy. i've never paid for an OS X update, and i'll probably wait to upgrade to lion until amazon makes another shipping error in one of my friends' favors.
