The Droid You Are Looking For

Nexus One Ten Minute Video

Oh, woe is me! My G1 quit working last weekend and I am at a loss with out my device. My poor device will not power on and it is far beyond the warranty. I don’t have insurance so I am currently stuck using an old, unlocked Nokia 3120 so the situation is akin to having your 2008 Scion XB totaled and having to switch to a ’79 Datsun instead. Very hard to transition to. This phone doesn’t even have EDGE and even if it did, I can’t get the T-Mobile WAP settings right to go online. So when it comes to Google, I’m stuck with using SMS Google.

I’m literally going through withdrawal…but there is hope…

According to many blogs & web sites, Google has scheduled an Android press release on January 5th and a leaked screenshot of a T-Mobile memo states that Google will be releasing a new Android device in “early January.”

So I’m taking this loss with a grain of salt as we all know that this has to be the release of the Nexus 1 and I have to say, if my G1 had to break at some point, it couldn’t have happened at a better time. So while I wallow in my misery of SMS search and no MMS, here is a full 10 minute video of the Nexus 1 in the wild.

T-Mobile Hangs Up On myFaves

via Phone Scoop
Today T-Mobile confirmed that it is phasing out its myFaves set of calling plans. The company said in an email to Phone Scoop, “T-Mobile’s new Even More plans, which feature options for unlimited calling, text and data service, have taken the place of myFaves unlimited calling feature. T-Mobile continues to offer the myFaves home screen, at no additional charge, across our broad portfolio of phones as a way for customers to easily connect with their Fave Five through voice, text and e-mail. Also, customers currently subscribing to the myFaves unlimited calling feature can choose to continue to benefit from that plan.” Alltel was first to offer such a calling plan, and called it MyCircle. T-Mobile began offering myFaves in 2006. MyCircle and myFaves were eventually followed by similar offerings from both AT&T (A-List) and Verizon Wireless (re-packaged MyCircle after Alltel acquisition).
