    That made me laugh, Sam.

    Well, I don't think I'd recommend overclocking to 1-1.2ghz even though some people believe it's safe.

    But sounds like the risk was of bricking, which before people got their hands on the VZW restoration app meant you were at the mercy of the store with a voided warranty. Since it's virtually impossible to actually destroy your software beyond recovery I guess that means no downside, within reason.

    Yea, when i bring up my droid, she brings up twilight. 28 year old woman...twilight....yea I know....

    I tried explaining it to her, she tried to explain to me vampire romance... i just bring up how cool it would be if Blade showed up in twilight. That usually ends our discussion

    Glad to see I'm not the only one Sam.

    Yes this droid thing is addicting. I wasnt this glued about an electronic device since I was a kid with the snes. I think the cure will be for us to get rid of the droid and for us all to get simple iphones.......... that way we go back to our lives and wont have a device that we can customize.

    But you first lol.
