I knew about bedside mode but dismissed it as meh. My profiles were "much" better.(right Jim
) I tried it only 3 or 4 months ago and wondered where it had been all my life. Did just what I needed and so easy. The real wonder is how our very own "ramblin" Queen missed it for a whole year.
(on the bold anyway)
Currently on a road trip and had to go for fresher air and blue skys, so I motored out of New Mexico and on up to Durango. Beautiful and NO SMOKE! is the best part. I was getting choked out in NM. Terrible fire. For anyone familiar with AZ towns. Several have been evacuated and Springerville is next on the list if need be.
Elizabeth, big huge kuddos and thanks to your son for risking himself for the forest and public safety. I pray he and the thousands of others will stay safe and if mother nature would only throw in a smidgeon of cooperation we might see the high winds die down. Not much progress can be made till that happens. I can't say enough about those folks doing the real work as this job is enormous to the enthh degree. I'll also be praying for an early start to the summer "monsoon" here. It's a little early yet but gifts from above can happen.
As some of you know I'm on hiatas from my bold till 9930 causes me to make a decision. Well the phone I'm testing out is ruggedized to military specs yet it is still very comfortable, quick and easy to use. I only wonder why they don't reguire all phones to have these rugged specifications. Waterproof, dustproof,shockproof, gorilla glass scratch proof, drop proof, etc. Works fantastic and still quite stylish.I mean it's a no brainer.
So any news on the 9930? Or does it just showup one fine day?

It seems the scuttlebutt on the 9930 release is trending toward Sept or even later. I don't know what to make of the posters who say a friend of a friend saw a guy in a bar with one. Needless to say I put no stock in those posts and no one really knows. So thats one reason that made me want to try something different altogether. You hear so much about different platforms and one really needs to see for one's self whether it would work for them personally. I'm really enjoying myself right now on a new device and even trialing VZ navigator which I had never used before. There is a small learning curve to it, but it's coming in handy on this road trip really sweet with the bigger screen. The hotspot feature is awesome also. I was wondering if the 9930 would have it. Tethering is just a bit more hassle, but get this: I think verizon has put the kibosh to the "tether" app on android. Unless your rooted. They even removed it from the "market place". I cannot get it to recognize the drivers I loaded for it. I do believe verizon is being pro-active about the tethering issue. If android is having this then BB can't be far behind. I may check into rooting just for fun when I'm a little more comfortable with the idea.06-08-11 07:27 PM - You'd better! You don't want me to go ballistic!!!!

True that. You have learned from a pro.Jim, if I didn't do that, you'd wonder what was wrong with me!!!!
Besides all in good fun! You see Paul taught me well.
If I recall I was bestowed with a dukedom in snarkyness back in the recent past. Thought I was heading for for a time out.Last edited by cbreze; 06-09-11 at 10:19 AM.
06-09-11 10:13 AM - Hi Runkle,Thanks for the info about the King hybrid midd. PM me when you think it is safe for me to use. Glad to read your folks are safe. Jim, keep safe. My sunsets in Nebraska have been brighter the last couple nights, meaning smoke is in the air. I expect Mother Nature to keep things in line when fires strike from her hand. It is really frustrating when a camper fails to follow procedure. As for the 9650 thread; it has really dropped off from what it was. The best and brightest have now moved to Rehab. Here's hoping none of you get well enough to leave.
If you're still in the market for a hybrid check out this one. I haven't run it yet but will be loading it soon. From what I'm hearing it is really good. Smooth and super great battery life.06-09-11 08:07 PM
