Yes, we are older than dirt.

I remember back in the day,our computing was done with a pencil and paper,and dial telephone was for the rich.

OK, next question for the mooters on leaks:

What browser do you prefer, and if you want please say why it kicks butt more than anything else??? Thank you for your input!

I was using Dolphin..but it's getting rather bloated and sluggish so I'm using Chrome. I still use FF on my computers but.....somewhere down the line it is getting very bloated and resource heavy especially with images...so I may start using Chrome there too....but I really like all the plugins and customization on FF

FireFox on pc and standard(the one that come with the phone) browser on phone.

So hate to ask something that's been asked hundreds of times already, but I've followed this thread since literally post #1. 4500+ posts in, I have to ask again - what is the consensus view right now on the ETA of an actual release? 246 and 247 seem to be the best things out of the Moto factory since the StarTAC (how about THAT for kicking it old school?) and I'm just wondering what is going on behind the scenes at Moto and VZW to get this release into all our phones for real. It really feels like it has to be soon. I've been living vicariously through all your collective experiences with 246 and 247 leaks, and am eagerly waiting to upgrade my 905 rooted Bionic through that magical "software update available" notification on the phone. I don't know why, but I am indeed among the last people on this site waiting.

Dolphin. The bookmarks swipe in and out so quick that I just love it. I use the internet on my phone for checking out the same old sites, so having my bookmarks handy is a big plus. Not too familiar with Chrome but the bookmarks just feel too buried.

StarTac was awesome but the 2900 was even better on Cellular One

I'm a big fan of Chrome. I usually have about 20+ tabs open in Chrome on my desktop PC all the time, and with Chrome I can have them auto-synch and access those tabs from Chrome on my Bionic from anywhere at any time. Basically eliminates the need for apps like Chrome-to-Phone or Read It Later (now called Pocket) or emailing yourself links, etc. Bookmarks (PC and mobile) are also synched and backed up in the cloud. I also like the way Chrome implements tab-switching on the Android version. And it virtually never crashes.

Can you imagine if gas was $4 / gal back then. Everyone would have been walking.

I remember when gas was 25 cents during the great gasoline shortage in the 70's.
