Try ( angry birds )....

I thought angry birds was only on iPhone?

I would highly recommend that game to anyone. If it's on the droid platform now then that's awesome!

Another good one is Plants Vs Zombies.

It was recently released for WebOS and now there is a beta version for Android. No word on when the full version will be released.

And, yeah, Angry Birds is the ____.

 

[BadMoon]

One more I would highly recommend would be a game by Gameloft called Zombie Infection.

It's like a Resident Evil game (albeit without the name and characters). It pretty much is a clone and plays very well on the phone.

My wife just bought a new 2011 Ford Edge with Ford's new My Touch system and it's like it was made for the Droid. I seriously may move into her car. I opened up the touch brochure and there was even an app barcode to scan that brings up a dvd and instructional videos on the car. Pretty damn amazing.

I hope there is some way we can get those on other phones...

McHavyck just got a new Fiesta with the touch system and he loves it as well. Pretty damn cool! Although me and Fords will never cross paths again.

The Fascinate is BOGO on Verizon's web site. Not a bad deal if you're in the market for 2 phones/plans.

edit: Read this first: https://thedroidguy.com/20100908/exclusive-verizon-dropping-google-from-all-future-androids/

The Fascinate ends up being pretty crap if you can't use any Google apps.

Get your Star Wars live backgrounds here: https://www.androidpolice.com/2010/...ive-wallpapers-leaked-available-for-download/

And your R2-D2 boot animation here: https://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/...eed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life)

Wasn't too thrilled with the live backgrounds since (with the exception of the asteroid one) they need to be activated with a shake of the phone. I'll be sticking with my aquarium background for now. Not really impressed with any of these.

Still looking for the static SW wallpaper...

This is about the dumbest thing I can think of:

Not only does the Fascinate *not* have Google search, maps, or nav installed, it's actually blocked those apps from the Android Market.

I would steer very clear of the Fascinate if I were buying a new phone.

HERE you go.

HERE you go.

I love you, man.

But won't it have Bing and Bing maps then?

 

[Kabukiman]

But won't it have Bing and Bing maps then?

Yeah, but that's all you can have. On any other Android device, you can pick and choose your services. It's one of the main appeals of Android. With the Fascinate, you're stuck with Bing.

With Windows Phone 7 on the horizon, I can't imagine Microsoft will be investing much time in updating it's Android apps. I dunno though, that's just speculation on my part.

My wife's Fascinate has access to google maps, but the google search says it's only available for 2.2.

I can't sleep without the lighting bug app running while it's on the dock. I use the two rain noises and lighting with the bugs flying around.

If you want some good games, look at anything by Gameloft, they've got real games

My wife's Fascinate has access to google maps, but the google search says it's only available for 2.2.

Yeah, Verizon came out last night and said the Google stuff will be available as an option after 2.2 hits, whenever that might be.

No matter how you look at it, shipping an Android phone without the key Google apps that people look for on Android and then actively blocking the ability to download those apps from the market is about the dumbest thing I think of.

And people think Apple is bad with the "walled garden" app store...
