Droid X2
 
Just picked up a DROID from Verizon yesterday. Tired of my At&t iphone. Keeping the iphone for now and taking Verizon on a test drive. So far I think they are pretty sweet. Im worried about the reception at my deer camp in st francisville and my duck lease in PI. After I try these areas, think im gonna drop iphone for good. What cool apps are there for these droids? And anyone used Verizon in these areas lately?

I am thinking about doing the same,but I am worried about the service at the deer lease in quitman,la. With AT&T I have good service in the woods.

Rainy Days is a good weather app.
It only shows a map. Nothing else.
But it is quick to pull up the maps.

specktator 08-25-2011 04:04 PM

Yeh that's what I am worried about. With AT&T, I have full reception in the woods as well as the duck blind. But the dropped calls are getting out of hand.

Yeh got that one already. Very cool.

Boat US app. is another good one.
You can input a phone number you call in case of an emergency.
If you click on the app. and click the emergency button, it will send the Lat. and Long. of where you are to that emergency phone.
It's pretty cool too.

I got rid of my iPhone and have the HTC Droid phone that AT&T has which is the Inspire and it is great with all the apps and more mentioned above an the service that goes deep in the woods.

GPSessentials is pretty cool. Lets you record a drift, mark weigh points, and has a camera that shows the horizon level and a point you have marked so youll know youre headed to the spot. Worth taking a look at. Last time I used it, i had 12 satellites on the south end of big lake.

mcjaredsandwich 08-25-2011 10:34 PM

And yes that rainy days is very nice. Thanks for the info Ray.

Good deal, they are great phones. I never heard you got it worked out. I thought you were going to switch over to the dark side. Did you figure out your laptop problem? If not, bring it by tomorrow or this weekend.

I have 2 or 3 different Dell chargers at the house if you want to try them first.

I would think RadioShack would have a charger that would work. In the past I have just replaced it with another one from Dell. Dell makes 2 many different chargers for someone to stock them all. It only takes 2 days to get them. They ship from Roundrock, Texas.

Boat Ramps is a cool app.

Didn't have very good reception on my DROID at Mae's Beach yesterday. Had full service on my iphone. Looks like I might have to keep em both. We will see.

My evo I get service from Johnson By to spots on biglake where at&t doesn't. But in the sticks I have 0 service

Dink 08-27-2011 12:11 PM

That's my biggest problem with Verizon.......north of I-10 here around Lafayette, the service sucks!! And yes J.B. is spotty. I thought when they took over centennial that id get the kinda coverage I had with centennial.......not the case at all!!
