[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Ah - well, CM9 will get here when it gets here, and they're doing what they can so when it does hit it'll be pretty awesome given the cyanogenmod track record.

I know people sarcastically say 'you can't rush greatness' but in this case it really applies.

CM7 on my Nook color is what brought me into the whole Android experience in the first place - without it, i'd still be trying my hardest to not own a cell phone.

I hate talking on the phone, but what's going on with this stuff and with development for Android is way beyond talk. Calling a device like this, or really any of the high end smart phones a cell phone is kind of an insult I think. You say cell phone and the first thing that pops into my mind is those old Nokia phones that were the standard for a while way back when, or some simple flip phone.

This is a pocket computer with an anywhere data connection that happens to be able to make phone calls too is the way I look at it.

As far as trading or switching to another cellular device - not likely for me anytime soon. I need a hardware keyboard, and after discovering the keyboard shortcuts you can't use without a hardware keyboard I could never own one without. I get aggravated using my Nook Color a lot now because it doesn't have a hardware keyboard and I can't use the shortcuts i've grown so accustomed to.

If you want a hardware keyboard, it's the doubleshot or something inferior that'll make you wish you had the doubleshot, so that's an easy one. :D

Whatever nifty gadgets or features, memory or what have you they put on any of the new release devices are wasted on me, no hardware keyboard, no interest.

Even if a new device came out with a hardware keyboard, unless it has a series 4 Snapdragon processor, what's the point in upgrading? This thing is plenty fast, and getting slicker by the day. We haven't truly brought it to it's full potential yet, but we're working on it, and the closer we get the less attractive anything else seems.

Besides, what's the likelihood of getting something with tv-out like what we got, so we don't have to drag around that bulky MHL box - more likely to not have it the way we have it now.

The doubleshot really is the perfect device from where I sit - and the smaller screen size is just another advantage in that it takes less processing power to draw the same image. Less pixels means less calculations, and if it's too small you can plug into any tv you come across to change that.

Nah, I can't see moving to another device for a while, honestly i'm not even looking. My poor Nook Color is fast turning back into the book reader it was designed to be, and gets less and less use as the days go by. (I think it's jealous of the doubleshot)

My next Android device will most likely be something in the 10" range anyway, so I can see how things work on all 3 screen sizes. I got the tiny, and the mid, but not the large. Even then, I can't see it getting much more play then the Nook Color does now once I get over it being a new toy.

The doubleshot is just my go to device if I need to do something that can be done on Android, and the manufacturers don't seem to like people who have interests like me/us - it seems like the doubleshot ended up being a niche device, which I don't understand...everyone I know who has a cell phone has a keyboard - either Android or a not-smart phone with a keyboard.

Does everyone I know represent the minority market? Hard to believe - but no keyboard love seems to be the future. Sad. Typing on those on-screen keyboards sucks, it's all smooth and I hit the wrong keys all the time.
