[wplug] Android Phones

[Kevin Dunn]

I have droid incredible, very hackable , running cyanogen mod 7 with
gingerbread.
I love it , you might want to get a 4g phone to be more current .
I needed a full day of battery with heavy usage. I can get it most days .
GPS kills battery so if
I am in the car using it I have it charging.
I have nothing negative to say about the incredible .
