Need a new game. Angry Birds all 3 starts but one.

Oh yeah, and I like TANGO better than Qik. Works with iPhone users on the other side. Quick and very easy to use.

I found it - Wordfeud

It's scrabble that you can play with multi-player. You can enter e-mail addresses to find friends and play with them. It's one of those games you can start and play over multiple days, and there's a chat option. Download and post up your e-mail address!

Totally stoked right now! Just got a text message from T-mobile saying that within the next week, I will be receiving an OTA (over the air) update to software version 2.2 FroYo.

Been waiting for this update for about 6 months now! Really happy to see that its finally coming!

Samsung Epic 4G

Sprint





LOVE this phone.. super AMOLED screen FTW... and gorilla glass FTWX2!!!! slideout full QWERTY keyboard also.



still haven't got a ton of apps yet, but slowly finding useful ones.



Apps:

Astrid (AWESOME task manager)

Google Navigation

Mp3 Music downloader

RingDroid (Ringtone creator, really cool)

google earth

adobe photoshop

Adobe Reader

Advanced Taskkiller

Android System info (awesome for killing apps and seeing usage)

Amazon

ASTRO (file manager)

AIM

Facebook

Dolphin Browser with red skin (really nice browser

Convertpad (awesome unit convertor)

FCC test (speed test for internet

PDAnet

Easy Tether (free version, will be purchasing the https version) got .90MBs when connected at home.. my cable internet is 1.0MBs

google goggles

Fox news

Lookout (virus protection and backup)

Kindle

Remote Droid (have yet to use it)

Paypal

Pandora

Scan life (barcode scanner)

rockplayer (to watch Divx,Xvid files from Orb)

Tesla LED (flashlight)

TransDroid (to search and download torrents remotely to my computer at home)

Photobucket





Also, have an Orb account setup, so I can stream all of my music from my 'server' at home as long as the computer is on.. works real good.. Also can stream movies (divx, xvid, .avi) from my 'server' to my phone.. still working out the kinks..







Anrgy birds is the only game that I have been addicted to.



waiting for the froyo release for my phone to get more use out of it.. and excited about the 3.0 in the future..



So far, I love this phone. Missy got the HTC EVO and I like my phone better. Maybe its just personal preference,

but The colors/contrast/brightness are MUCH better on the super AMOLED screen. I also got a seidio innocase active X case for the phone to protect it.



Thinking about rooting my phone also in the future if i am feeling risky. haha



Another selling point of this phone for me was the gorilla glass on the front.. if you have never seen it, look it up!!

^ Tell me about the MP3 downloader ^

^ Do you prefer EasyTether or PDAnet? ^



I'm going to test out Photobucket.



I also use Lookout. I like it because it doesn't seem to drain resources and scans everything I download, but I can't testify to the effectiveness since it hasn't caught anything.



I'm currently addicted to the game Air Attack (Ad) and I play Wordfeud (scrabble) with my wife.



What frustrates me about the Evo is that I can't upload to Photobucket. I take a lot of pics/video with my phone that I want to upload to forums and neither Picasa or Flickr are as easy as Photobucket.

o another super fun game i play with missy.. sketch online!!! so much fun.. there is like a room of ten people, and you guess what eachother is trying to sketch.. there are 5 rounds per game.



I have played air attack also, kinda fun, but doesn't hold my interest.



the mp3 downloader is a little iffy. I cant always find all the music I want, but after some searching, I usually come up with something. You just type in a song, artist or whatever, and some results come up with:



Artist : Tom Petty

Song: Free Fallin'

Album : XXXXXXX



or whatever information is available, along with the file size.. you can preview and download it. I usually preview first to see if its the right song and high quality. Then they just go into your music.. This works awesome with RingDroid.. In Ringdroid, you can clip pieces of the song, down to .01 seconds to make ringers, notifications and alarms..



have you setup the backup with lookout? I played around with it, but I dont really have anything to backup, but it backs up call logs (if i recall) contacts, media, etc.



Photobucket is great and really easy to use. You can also turn on 'automatic uploads' to upload every picture you take on your phone. (I have it turned off, as I dont want every picture online and I delete some, edit some, etc.) You can choose default albums for your uploads to go to and it keeps you logged in (if you want)



I also really like how the Youtube app works with uploading videos, just sucks that it wants a WIFI connection for big videos.



I usually keep all of my apps closed to have as much free memory as possible and keep the battery going using the AUTO kill on ATK..
