[Q] Before I buy..

I am going to Barnes & Noble today to get the Nook Color. I want to buy it so I can root it and use it as a tablet/ereader. Are the newest version of the NC's rootable or do I need to buy an older version off eBay or something. Thanks in advance!

No, you're fine. The current firmware, 1.01, is rootable. It'll probably come with 1.0 anyway.
If you want a great value on a quality android tablet, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Alright thanks man, I am actually buying this over the Galaxy Tab, lol. Hope it is as amazing as it sounds.

Buy two nooks, set them next to each other, and cross your eyes a lot. Now you hve a 3d tablet for $100 less than a galaxy tablet...

If you can live without GPS, cameras, 3G, etc., I see no reason to pay over twice as much for a Galaxy Tab. Mine has everything I would have wanted from a Galaxy Tab-- and this is without a custom ROM.

Yes, I bring my evo everywhere, so I can just easily tether to it, I don't need GPS or cameras because obviously the evo has them.

Yep - that's exactly what I do. Wireless Tether app (version pre-12 I think I'm using) works great.
While there's no GPS for navigation, it gets other location services from the network, so Google Maps and whatnot get my location to within 100 yards or so.

I’m using my DroidX to tether.
I don’t need camera and crap on the tablet.
I have NFS Shift running on mine flawlessly along with just about all the apps I’ve installed.
I think the new thread should be “what does not work”. Everything I’m using sems to work.

Cool, thanks for the feedback

You may want to buy somewhere that has a better return policy, but thats really up to you.
When I was at B&N today just to look, two people walked in within 5 minutes with defective units...One had no WIFI, the other had screen issues.
They sent the guy with no Wifi home, telling him he must have typed in his password wrong...They would not exchange for him.. They never even looked at it.
They sent the lady home because she did not have her charger.
I JUST bought mine at Best Buy...First one had a dead dark pixel right smack in the middle of the screen, also had some dust and the flicker everyone mentions..
I exchanged it, however they really gave it the 3rd degree and looked like they did not want to exchange it..They pulled all the packaging apart, turned it on, went through all the menues, etc....
Second one is in good shape, but does have a stuck pixel that only is seen on a full black screen..I can live with that I guess.
Examine yours closely, because I have a feeling there is quality issues.
I would assume they are getting a large amount of returns now and are probably going through them thoroughly..

Alright thanks, I might consider buying from Best Buy then instead.

Just got mine Christmas Eve. I had looked long and hard at a Galaxy Tab. But at the price, I just couldn't pass up the Nook. With rooting, it is everything that I wanted in a pad. As mentioned before, coupled with my rooted HD2, it is an awesome duo.
And as a stand-alone, the Nook does everything I could want. It came with 1.0, but updating was simple. Auto-nootering was just as simple. AWESOMENESS!

Another possibility for the return scrutiny is that that B&N/Best Buy are now well aware of what many are doing with these, and are happy to sell more units--as long as it isn't causing them to lose money.
. . . And one way they could lose money is if people screw things up rooting and want a replacement or refund. Dead pixels have nothing to do with rooting, but the retail world could easily over-generalize as "don't take NookColor returns lightly."

Whats funny is they were taking all kinds of stuff back like Xbox,PS3, even Ipads and never batted an eye, but the Nook got the magnifying glass lol...

Upgrading to htc evo 4g..?

... I might be upgrading today. It's just been a very difficult decision. Evo or evo shift? I watched many comparison videos. It seems like shift would be the way to go, because its 2nd generation snapdragon. But I love the big screen on the evo, its huge so you don't need a hardware keyboard. Games- I don't play much(besides Star Traders), just a couple. I'm all about fast browsing and watching videos like on YouTube etc. Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate your input

now that I'm running AOSP 2.3.3 along w/ Launcher Pro instead of ADW, I feel little need at the moment to move to a Evo. I mean, I still want to, but this thing is so much better than a stock hero, that I think I'll be good for a while.

Dim, I think we should. I'm sick of the hero. Only reason I got it was because I didn't have the cash for a good phone. Now I do, so screw it, I'm tired of trying rom after rom just to tolerate my phone. I'm getting the Evo for sure.

I love my evo to death! I took a cruise through the hero forums today to see if there's any new and cool to do to my moms hero(still a good phone), I noticed a lot of you guys are on the fence trying to decide between the shift and the big one!
A couple things I want to point out. Shift may have slightly better specs but regardless I have never seen a slow down on anything, life is fast and large.
Also on the keyboard side, the on screen keyboard on the evo is much better than the hero due to a improved touch sensor and just having the buttons be larger. Also after you get it you can remove the stupid arrows(they take up too much space).
Go down to a Sprint store and play around with them till you find something that really makes you say yes this is sweet. For me, I have large hands and the evo is a lot easier for me to use because of the big screen(also I use the kick stand at least twice a day.). And they just got hdmi out working too!
Also in no way am I trying to put down the Shift, just pointing out even though papa evo is older its still in no way a slouch.

I'm glad sprint is sticking with the EVO brand for its flagship android devices. Don't get me wrong, I like choices, but I mean the EVO is almost a year old, and it hasn't been until recently that anything else worth buying has come out (atrix, nexus s, etc.). Now that they're refreshing it, I'm sure the new EVO will be the best thing on the market for a long time.

I'm waiting on the EVO 3D

Here's what I did... may help someone...
I knew my upgrade was going away come this Friday. So, I used my upgrade to get my new Evo (upgraded from old beloved Hero). Got it at Best Buy. Forked over $149 (had a $50 coupon) and paid them the extra $40 for their BuyBack program & BlackTie. Original retail cost of the Evo is listed at $599.
Then, I upgraded my plan to Shared to include my mom (porting her away from TMobile... so, that's an extra $150 service credit promotional from Sprint right there). BestBuy is currently running a new activation promotion and gave her a free LG Optimus S, retailing at $399. I spent an extra $40 for their BuyBack program on this phone also. Then, I gave my mom my old Hero and had Sprint do a free handset swap. So, now I've got this free LG Optimus sitting around in a box, never gonna be used. And I'm canceling the mandatory BlackTie $10/month on the 31st day from purchase.
Still with me here? So... when the new Evo 3D comes out, all I gotta do is take my current Evo back into Best Buy within the next 6months and they give me a $299 gift card for my Evo on BuyBack, and $199 for the never been opened Optimus S.
I failed ethics in high school. And college.

And your mom gets your ****ty old Hero. LMAO. JK, Sounds as if you worked the system for sure. Question though, Lets say the 3D retail is 599, 699, 799 without the upgrade price. Will they roll back your eligibility to get the phone at the upgrade price? I guess it's better than spending the full retail.
You are getting back 498 for sure but you come up short and then if your.. "Mom's" hero breaks... then you have to get here a new Optimus S on Ebay.
I do hope it works out for you. Sounds like some of the finagling I do.

Help me pick out android phones for parents

Trying to get used android phones for my parents.
Going to change their verizon service to page plus 1200 plan.
They will save almost 100 bucks per month changing to page plus with more minutes.
Need help picking out good used android phones for parents.
My top choice is Droid X right now
big screen, lightweight, on craigslist for 100-130.
Right now they are using old LG touchphone(resistive screen)
that automatically calls and txt in their pocket.

Are you sure android is the best way to go? I know that even my parents get confused over something more complicated than a flip phone....
If you do want android, The droid x is my personal phone, but its pretty bulky and takes getting used to. If you are going used, I would get the Samsung Fascinate. They are easier on the eyes, and the TouchWiz UI will be easier to use for them than MotoBlur. They are seeling in my area for around $100 on craigslist.
You may want to look into a cheaper LG with a keyboard too.

I agree with you my parents get confused using a flip phone. But yea the samsung fascinate is an easy to use phone

If you can find one cheap WP7 may be the way to go

Forgot about facinate.
Cost around 130-150 on craigslist.
Thank you.

My mom went from a flip phone, to the evo3d. So far she likes it. But I think she likes my evo shift better lol
She really enjoys having such quick access for her emails. And occasionally reads her fbook from the friendstream widget.
Not bad for a 62 yr old!

Fully agree. The simpler, the better. And WP7 would give them a super simple and very elegant and nice phone. It's what I would get for mine, hands down, no question. You can get a Samsung Focus for as little as $150 on eBay or around $200 elsewhere online.

Droid charge for Droid bionic, Should I?

I have been offered a Droid bionic for my droid charge. Straight up trade. I was hoping you guys could provide some insight.
How do you like the bionic? Also, if any former Charge owners are lurking I would really be interested in you're opinion. I am really just biding my time til the galaxy nexus is released, so I figured the bionic would fetch a little more than my charge on the open market as well. Thanks for you're input!

The Bionic is very fast and it works great with tethering as the Charge sucks at it.
So i say... get the Bionic is less than a heartbeat!
PS: I rooted mine, kept the stock ROM and tether it without any problems using the factory Hot Spot app. I had to make a single registry change using a $3 app. Well worth it. I use about 10-13GB data a month and VZN hasn't said squat to me.

agreed on the screen, however when it lacks the primary function, to make and receive calls it becomes quite useless you need a super amoled paper weight

Coming from a Charge I can tell you that it will take a while to get used to the screen on the Bionic. The screen, while better than the one on the Atrix and Droid X2, is no competition for samled+. However, once you get past the screen, the smoothness and speed of the Bionic will win you over. Plus the Gig of ram is a huge upgrade over the paltry amount that you gad to struggle through with the Charge. The entire Android experience is more enjoyable on the Bionic.

My Bionic was a substitute for what would have been my 4th Charge, if that tells you anything.
And honestly, the screen doesn't look bad except next to a Charge. It's quite bright and the text clarity is incredible- it's easier on my eyes for Kindle reading than any of the other phones I've used. And the difference is less noticeable over time; my girlfriend kept her Charge (for now) and I'm not bothered when picking up my Bionic after using it.

Any thoughts on moving from a Thunderbolt to a Bionic? Is that a step up or a step down? Getting kind of bored with the TB and like the Bionic when I played around with it at the Verizon store.

The screen is the main issue with the phone, and tu do get use to it but the text clarity is very bad at times. Black text is fine but a lot of colored text is impossible to read and white text is a nightmare if its small like text in the browser.

Argued with VZW until they gave me an Iphone lol

I just got a topic reply from XDA and lol'd as I've been an Iphone owner now for about 3 months. All I have to say is I'm a happy camper again when it comes to having a cell phone. I had countless issues with multiple Revo's stock and rom'd out. ***** at VZW enough you can get lucky and get out of such a terrible phone. Yeah I lost my 4G (which i had turned off on my Revo to attempt to get 7hrs of battery) but not being a heavy data user it doesnt bother me especially because I get almost 2 days out of my 4s. Not trying to get on an Apple rant but if you simply use your phone as a phone and want it to be reliable it may be worth looking into!

Sorry, but no I'll never purchase iCrap. I have an iPod touch 2nd generation because that was what was cool back in the day and now iPhones are cool and I prefer my Android over iCrap any day. I may lose out on ton of the new games that are out on iOS months sometimes years before Android but that's fine with me since I'd rather have my better performing OS that has new features and aren't behind on features.

They upgraded me to a bionic from the revolution then to the rezound all for free lolv

Definitely not turning this into a debate, I'm just saying if you are having fits with your Revo you can get out of it if you really complain and I'm pretty happy with my iPhone. It never needs rebooted, camera couldnt get much better, battery life is insanely good (charges very fast too), and plugs into my car to play music lol.

Sure but with a Revo....no.. like I said not an android bash thread just saying you can get out of it and I happen to like the choice I made to go to the Iphone.

Too bad the Revo soured you on Android. While the iphone is a well made device I could never put up with the limitations like the tiny screen, no widgets, and no Google navigation.. Just for more battery life. Glad it worked for you though.

Got mine switched out because I had 4 different replacements and they gave me the choice on phones.
