I'll incorporate it here for good measure:

Those Android phones have a lot of potential!
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

Thanks. I tried to use the 'youtube' tag but it wouldn't work in preview. I see in 'quote' your post, the url is shortened. I just used the one at the mdvforum, also on the youtube page where I watched the video, which, iirc, worked before. Also, I hadn't wrapped with 'spoiler'. :f
What's happening, dude?

Back on topic, yes, mouth-watering potential. I was just as jazzed a few years ago when I got my Treo 755p. Sadly, it is outdated: no multitask, the hamster running in the cpu wheel seems to be really tired, and Palm/HP have certainly abandoned this old, in e-years, device.
However, I got this phone when I signed on for a really inexpensive Sprint SERO plan: all the minutes I need, unlimited text and data, for about $30/mo. + bureaucracy fees. I pay another $7 for an insurance plan that has replaced my phone twice. If I want to upgrade to a more capable phone, I have to buy a more expensive plan, so here I am! Image

Rolf, when you post a youtube vid here in the youtube tags, go to the video in youtube, click as if you are going to post it to Facebook, twitter, and the like. A url will pop up that you can insert here. Just copy/paste that. The system here doesn't allot for posting youtube urls with extra "stuff" on it.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
