About LinkBacksMy OG Droid got busted, i can turn on the phone and all n i can receive calls but the display is all black it doesn't turn on...I went to verizon, they said my manufacture warranty has expired but i do have the warranty i pay 6 bucks a month..but to replace my Droid i will have to pay 100 bucks and i just dont want to pay money to replace it. If im going to spend money I want a new phone...but I REALLY want the motorola xoom, with this method of sipdroid and google voice, can i somehow just replace my phone in a way? I mean it is kind of silly that i will have to carry the thing around but of course i wont b able to carry it when im at a club, amusement part ect ect...what do you guys think? Because the thunderbolt isnt catching my attention.

03-20-2011 04:07 PMas a media device, it is far superior, as a phone....well it's got no calling capabilities to my knowledge.
the Xoom is a Tablet, not a smartphone. -

03-20-2011 04:32 PMI don't think anyone has got that working on the Xoom yet, have they? You can do texts, but I don't know that anyone has done voice calls using it yet. Originally Posted by luv2increase

03-20-2011 08:47 PMwell, i went to vzw and got the xoom! it is a sexy looking thing and works great. but i still ended up getting some cheap phone the samsung intensity II its like eh! but for texting and calling its good enough, since like someone said the xoom is too big to make calls in tho I probably still use google voice and sipdroid for free calls. But im finding using that samsung phone kinda annoying haha kinda do miss having an android phone but the xoom is just too good haha.

03-21-2011 04:37 PMdidn't know the Xoom supports google voice, that's cool. However, would find it quite silly to see someone with a 10" tablet up to their face LOL
I'm still waiting for my wifi xoom, preordered and waiting -__- -
