Hey all.

Just want to say hi, my DX should arrive Thursday.

No more BB slowness.

Welcome! Good to have you with us. I hope the time passes quickly while waiting for your X. Get as much rest as you can now because when it arrives the addiction begins!

I've updated my Google contacts to make the BB to DX transfer smoother. I'm pretty much at a loss for any other preparation

That is good. Your Gmail contacts and any email will download to your phone without issue. If you text check out Handcent or Chomp. K9 is a very good email app. All three apps are available in the market for free.

Here are a few links for apps:

AndroidZoom - Download thousands of Android applications from the Android Market

Is Handcent prefferable to the DX's standard sms protocol? I suppose I'm not use to different aps just yet.

Thanks for the links.

I do not know. The beauty of Android, you can have both apps installed so you can try both. The only issue you would have is that unless you disable the notifications in one you would receive duplicate notifications. Each app has settings -- tap menu, tap settings, tap notification, tap silent.

Hope this is helpful.

Any suggestions on a full blown weather app with Doppler radar?

 

[mwhartman]

Try weather channel or Accu Weather. If you would like an animated weather on your home screen check Beautiful Widgets. It is a paid app ($2.99)
