Yeah, I had a rethink on that. Thought it was the already announce LTE HD model but on close inspection it would appear not. Are these due to launch straight away, then?gcubed said:

Ugh, I need to wait another month, my shitty BB is killing me.
Fatalah said:Well, I just factory reset my phone and the normal USB option menu still doesn't show when plugging into my computer. The phone's port must be broken.
Anyway, I forgot how to get Apple Touch bookmark shortcut icons working!
Example:
All I get are ugly red flag icons. Some help?
Anyone?! I'm getting really annoyed! I used to have beautiful bookmark icons, not these ugly flags!

I think, I'm not sure, but if you bookmark the page directly from the browser while viewing the site it'll used the favicon instead.
go to page > menu > bookmark > Homescreen (instead of bookmarks).
Otherwise, look for a custom icon app on the market, there's a couple.

If ICS is going to be good on a Nexus S, then the much beefier Optimus 2x should have no problems...
Stop being silly, LG.

Switch off your phone :-/
OR....
Switch off your internet when you're not using it (eg at work). Internet kills teh battery. Or rock it early 21st century style with 2g only.
Also
Don't download the Facebook app. No idea if that'll help the battery but it's a piece of crap that should go die in a fire. Push notifications my arse.

Isn't RAM the issue with the 2X/G2X? There's only 384MB left after 128MB is taken for the GPU.
Is anyone else annoyed by how when using multitask app-switcher...ok, let me see if I can explain this...so lets say you're browsing for a file using a file explorer app, now you open a document and it opens with QuickOffice. If you go to a different app then bring up the multitask switcher, QuickOffice isn't there, if you want to get back to where you were in that opened document, you click on the file explorer app.
Bugs the shit out of me.

This used to annoy me with Google Reader, but since the latest update, I haven't noticed this at all. This really was only an issue when I was on Reader, but for other programs, opening the program that opened the file I'm looking for usually reopens the doc anyway, so it didn't bug me as much.Husker86 said:

Try Desktop Visualizer, free on the Market. You can use it to change icons, I believe. Failing that, some launchers have it built to change icons of various things manually/individually.
Last resort is to google it and check out XDA, as I'm sure someone has written up an app to do what you want.

Seem like the gs2 skyrocket will be base on the Celox model....
http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/08/...s-for-the-camera-has-physical-button-removed/
which does have the Qualcomm chip =(
more proof that it is the "Celox" model
if you download the skyrocket manual, look what its called..

I don't now why not just release the LTE gs2 HD.....

I am a long time iPhone user but am considering switching to Android around Christmas. One big factor for me is that I listen to podcasts constantly. Is there some sort of iTunes store for android where I can easily find all the most popular podcasts? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I have never really messed around with an Android before.

No need for desktop software. I've heard good things about Doggcatcher (paid version is about $5). RssDemon looks good, too, but I've never tried it.

Pocketcasts. Free, looks and functions great. As someone who downloaded 30+ apps every week on itunes when I had an iphone, this was very important to me.minx88 said:

FUCK those prices in the ass, those are the in-store prices. Shop around and you'll find much better phones for <$100.
Just looking at Verizon phones available on amazon.com:
http://wireless.amazon.com/b/684177011/ref=topnv_tn_bc_vz?phones_categoryCarrier=carrierVerizon
Droid Charge: 1 cent
HTC Thunderbolt: 1 cent
LG Revolution
Droid 3: $60
Droid Bionic: $120
All of these are better than the phones on your list.
The Bionic is a little bit more but it has both 4G and a dual-core processor (it is highest end phone currently on Verizon). The Droid Charge, HTC Thunderbolt, and LG Revolution also have 4G but only single-core processors.
The Droid 3 doesn't have 4G data speeds but it has a dual-core processor and a slide out keyboard if you prefer that to a touchscreen.
Personally I would go with the Bionic as my first choice or if you absolutely have to stay below $100 bucks then I would go with the Droid 3. Honestly if you could wait a couple weeks, the Galaxy Nexus's upcoming release will probably drive the Bionic's price down below the $100 mark.
If you're main priority is the best battery life, then I would say the Droid 3 or the Droid Bionic are your best choices. Third place would be the Droid Charge. The HTC Thunderbolt was a bit infamous for being hard to get through a full day without charging.

Optimus 2X (and I assume G2X) are going to get ICS after all: http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...eceive-ice-cream-sandwich-update-lg-confirms/

Awesome. Can't we get a picture of you holding it like a phone? ICS is going to be bitchin' on that thing.
Sorry, I had to drive to work 
Anywhoo...this thing is...intimidating, to say the least.
But actually, it isn't that much bigger than a Sensation. I've only made one call on it, and it felt unwieldy as fuck. But to be fair, that was my first call on such a device. Given some more time with it, maybe I could use it like other phones. It's smaller than the Streak (but wider). Think of it as a faster, bigger GS II. It's a niche device, that's for sure.
I'll upload some drawings in a sec. The Walcom digitizer is accurate and smooth.

I was out do something or other last night and dropped in the Applestore. It was weird playing with an iPhone4S knowing I could own it right then and there. But It really just drove home even further what I don't like about iOS. It feels so boring.

Nah I haven't. The lumia 800 seems like a great piece of hardware though. IDK, I'm just gonna wait it out for the Nexus. I have GREAT interest in Windows8, though.
