I agree, that's why I hopped on the Droid 3 bandwagon. Plus I love the physical keyboard.

This apparently showed up on TV last night as well.

The video isn't new, but the date at the end is.

The Vigor has to be 4.5" if it's going to be a 720p resolution, right?

Updated PRL available

Over at the moto forums someone discovered that a new PRL (52363) is available and signal strength seems improved. Those of us experiencing signal induced battery degradation will likely feel the love. I ended the day yesterday at 83% (13 hours, extended batt). In case you are unaware, *228 send and option 2 gets you the update.

Droid 3s orly I think

No, everything (including the actual handset photos) indicate 4.3''

Anyone have a place they buy adhesive strips from for their phones? getting sick of using glue took me an hour to clean up a screen I was fixing lol. I put a little to much on

Ill take a $5.00 hit to any money I make if it makes it a tad more easy.

Is att getting the new Galaxy S II? That might be worth looking at, I've heard good things about the specs, but some people seem to hate "Touch Wiz?"

Hey avelle.....engadget is reporting Verizon stores have the bionic in.

Probably not selling til the 8th, buy go haggle!

**Salodin** · 2011-09-03 09:44

Is it worth rooting my D3? It can already do so much, but other then removing bloatware (which as far as I can tell is only taking up a few megs of storage) I don't see the point. My only other android device was the original Droid, and I never got around to rooting it so I don't really understand the appeal. I could overclock it I know, but the D3 is already speedy enough for my tastes, and I don't want it getting any hotter then it already does when I start putting it under load...

**dejet** · 2011-09-03 09:57

Moto blur is all thats needed to root any phone if you ask me. Thats just me though. Custom roms, OCing(you can UC) and depending on the kernel you can UV it as well, better battery life may very well run at a lower temp too if you dont OC it like nuts. Debloat(also helps with speed on some phones dont no about d3) and such. Many apps use root as well.

The list goes on and on, if you are happy now and dont think you need it then do not do it. I use tethering once in a blue moon; like today im using it for a fantasy draft when I will be at work, no net. Im not going to pay tethering fees for something I use once a month if that.

Time to start calling some stores.

**Salodin** · 2011-09-03 13:16

What is Motoblur exactly?

**Kurokikaze** · 2011-09-03 13:57

Thats Motorola's UI layer on top of Android. It's really the worst one of all the manufacturer UIs.

WAS the worst of the manuf. UI's. Obviously I think most people would agree sense is the best. The new moto blur is a lot shinier and nicer, but I prefer launcher pro and a more stock looking android.
