When will Droid 3 come out?

any news??

and will moto unlock bootloader, if we all send email requesting to moto
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
1. no one knows

2. no news

3. no, moto wont unlock the bootloader just because we send email request, although i wish they would

if i were to make a guess at when they would release a droid 3, if they choose to, it would be Q3 or Q4 this year.
[Droid 2 Global General] thomaslau:
will we sue moto for locking the bootloader~~ just like this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912480

that would be cool:D:D
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
I doubt it, as far as I know, companies are allowed to develop whatever software they want for their products, even if its meant to limit access to the device
[Droid 2 Global General] thejoker-2008:
what do you reckon the specs would be for the droid 3 or even hopefully the milestone 3
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
I would think it would be standard for next year: dual core TI processor with great 3D graphics, 1gb of ram, a higher res, probably 960x640, 3.7 inch screen, and your usual cell phone specs. I also expect it to have 4g, and I hope they don't change the industrial design too much, makes it look really rugged and durable
[Droid 2 Global General] Backdraft11:
From what I've read Motorola are just skirting the lines of legality by locking their bootloader, but it's still technically legal. Besides, 90% of the ppl wouldn't be as pissed off at them if:

(1) They kept relatively up-to-date with the rest of their market with their Android releases.

(2) They didn't simply just abandon certain phones off the upgrade line when clearly the hardware specs point to them being able to handle the latest Android.

(3) They didn't delay their releases by weeks/months (usually the latter) just to have their engineers put their effort into putting crapware/Blur.

IMO Motorola makes some great hardware, but their software practices are draconian and primitive.
[Droid 2 Global General] thomaslau:
but they wont always update the phone, will they?

if they unlock the bootloader which is good for both of us

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Where on the system are music playlists and browser bookmarks stored? I'm surprised the playlists are not stored along with the music files. Every time I flash a new ROM or restore a previous - I lose my playlists and bookmarks. I'd like to know where they're stored on the system so I can copy them to the sdcard for safe keeping.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Surely someone must know the answer to this!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Thought I would nail this playlist problem, but I'm still mystified. I created a "test.m3u" playlist file in my sdcard/Music/Playlists directory. In that file, I put the name of a single mp3 file from the sdcard. Saved the file, and checked its contents. I then opened the Music app and expected to find a playlist called "test" containing one song. But no such playlist appears.

What to do? How does one maintain music playlists through ROM flashes....?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
Way back when I had my old hero I managed to find the bookmarks. It was an XML file if I remember right. I don't know about the playlists though. I found the info for the bookmarks on http://source.android.com under customization I believe.

I like to keep my homescreen pretty clean also. I didn't use to use live wallpapers, because I thought the battery drain would be too much, but I have been using this for a couple of weeks now and have never had less than 40% battery at the end of a long day (5 AM - 10 PM usually is the amount of time it is unplugged) The Live wallpaper is Blue Romance and I like it. I use Clockr for the clock and Battstat for the battery widget. I need to find some blueish icons for the dock, but that is what I have for now. Good luck

The smoke argyle TPU case you may have seen on amazon, but is unavailable, is for sale on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Nexus-S-Case-Smoke-Argyle-FlexiSkin-TPU-Cover-/250753752797?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a62169edd#ht_1144wt_1139

I think the seller account belongs to tpu-cases.com. According to the ebay item page, they will have new colors on Jan. 24. Red Argyle, High Gloss Black, Matte Black.

I was about to pick up this tpu case, but since I already have the Amzer black silicon, I'll wait till some of these come out and see which one I like better. Or I might just pick up one of those 4 for $12 deals from Hong Kong.

Anyone have this argyle case yet and willing to tell us how it is?
[Nexus S Accessories] robstunner:
I got one. Fits great and looks good. Got it from tpu-cases.com. very cool guy and ships quick.
[Nexus S Accessories] unknown.soul:
Ugh, I bought a black TPU case from HK 3 days ago. Hoping it's not crap...

[Nexus S Accessories] psyclobe:
I have it, the fit is amazing. There is one problem though, the power button is very hard to press and detect by touch. I catch myself trying to press the wrong end of the phone, which creaks a bit now. I am reminded now of how bad a design it is to have the power button directly opposite the volume buttons. With this case I end up changing the volume while trying to press the power button.
[Nexus S Accessories] Android Touch:
What do you mean by creaking?
[Nexus S Accessories] Teddy Bruckshut:
Ordered from TPU's official website yesterday.

This was my first case for the Nexus One back when it launched. The fit was a bit off, but I still liked it a lot.
[Nexus S Accessories] Smokexz:
Buying one, its only about 16 bucks at Amazon... so I will just get this and see why everyone is falling in love with TPU.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I ordered one but from a different ebay seller.

it was less than $2 shipped but coming from China, so it's a bit of a wait.

[Nexus S Accessories] roshga:
I received the second one that you ordered few days ago, really good fit, the only problem is the volume buttons are a bit hard to press...

actually i also ordered the first one you mentioned and waiting for it :) will post an opinion when it arrives.
[Nexus S Accessories] Smokexz:
Well I now ordered from Ebay because I am not waiting for Amazon, plus the shipping is essentially the same, but I don't have to wait for Amazon to restock....
[Nexus S Accessories] Jayrod1980:
Got mine from tpu cases site and its got great build quality. Beware that its a tight fit and will not fit properly if you have a vinyl skin on the body of the phone like zagg or ghost armor (full body, not screen protector). I might throw mine up for sale because of this. Does look nice on the phone though and doesn't look like it will scratch the phone like the platinum/seidio case will.
[Nexus S Accessories] Lakewell:
Appreciate the info and the update.
[Nexus S Accessories] sl8125:
How does this look where the screen is curved? Is there a lift on the lip or is it flush on the edge of the screen? I like the gel or tpu case much better then any other hard plastic case.
[Nexus S Accessories] dhp:
there is a lip on the front. it is kind of useful because it allows your screen to be placed facedown on a table without any contact with the screen itself. adds a slight bulk to it though
[Nexus S Accessories] Teddy Bruckshut:
Mine shipped on the 16th and still hasn't arrived....
[Nexus S Accessories] fchipm:
Anyone get the high gloss solid black yet?? Mine's on the way but probably won't come til tomorrow. Never had a TPU case before so I'm pretty psyched to check it out.

I'm not crazy about the argyle/charlie brown design though, that's why I opted for the jet black. Hope it's nice...
[Nexus S Accessories] ichan444:
Clay from TPU is sending me the Smoke, Red, and Jetblack TPU cases sometime this week. I'm going to have a photoshoot with them so you guys can have a better look at them.
[Nexus S Accessories] Teddy Bruckshut:
Got mine (Smoke). Great fit though it seems like the left side isn't as snug as the right side. Not noticeable unless you're picky, and it doesn't make a difference protection wise. It just looks a tad bit off.

I think I want the red one....
[Nexus S Accessories] fchipm:
My jet black one came from TPU-Cases today. I am so so SO pleased with the appearance. You really wouldn't even know there's a case on it - looks that slick to me.

I am however extremely sad with the power button performance. Coming from amzer's jelly, the buttons worked IMO better than if naked. It's very tough to use the power button with this case on.

I wonder if putting a tiny something in between the case and the button would improve this?
[Nexus S Accessories] DJTaurus:
Can you post a link with the case you purchased...?
[Nexus S Accessories] fchipm:
Sure here's the link. They call it high gloss - sorry for confusion since I called it jet black.

Forgot to mention I have a full body BSE applied and it fits just fine.

[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
LOL ^ beat me to it.
[Nexus S Accessories] Smokexz:
I have it, slick... very slick, doesn't make the device too heavy and the feel of it is great! Problems? The lock button is rather difficult to push. The volume buttons are softer to the to use. Overall these problems will go away after wear and tear. Very solid case... really the best of any as of now. Better than the one at Best Buy... plus it is much cheaper.

[Nexus S Accessories] fchipm:
I also find the volume buttons are much easier to press. After some adjusting the power buttons not all that bad. Just takes some getting used to.

The good definately outweighs the bad with this case.

[Nexus S Accessories] princeasi:
I just received my smokey argyle tpu case, and it's by far the best. Nice form factor, it fits very snug, doesn't add much bulk at all, and feels like good quality material. I also have the amzer. It was nice, but after slapping on the tpu case, the amzer suddenly looked too bulky, so I stayed with the tpu. Tpu-cases.com has my vote!
