I am a 4th generation iPhone user and was saddened to have soaked my iPhone 3Gs in gasoline at this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. I was waiting until the white iPhone 4 came out, but was forced (I believed at the time) to get a new iPhone 4. OMG is that a serious piece of ****!
I gave it to my wife (who was still on an old motorola flip phone) and switched to Verizon on the Droid X. I've had my Droid X now for about 24 hours and am digging it! However I have one seriously nagging issue; I have a problem with the text messaging.
Whenever I receive a text message, the phone plays the proper ringtone and vibrates a bit, then goes silent. When I pick it up and wake it up, I have no visual indication that I have received a text message. On the iPhone it always showed me a list of the recent received activity (missed calls, missed messages, etc...) but on the droid, it always shows me the same home screen whenever I wake it up. If I just so happened to hear the text message tone, then I can dig into the messaging app and read the message. If I leave my phone on my desk and go out to lunch, when I return I have no idea if I missed anything. There is no visual indicator on the home screen.
Another helpful - albeit annoying - feature of the iPhone is that it will periodically "badeep" you about text messages until you acknowledge them. Apparently on the Android you have to be paying attention in order to text.
Is there not a way to make the android OS show a list of recent missed activity on the home screen?
As a thank you for your thoughts, I offer a dancing banana :icon_ banana:
