After playing with both of them, i went with the Dream...once you go qwerty, you don't go back.

I do a lot of emailing and texting with my phone, so qwerty is better for me.

And honestly, I thought there isn't enough of a size/weight difference between the two to warrant losing a qwerty keyboard.

Have you noticed whether your timestamps for incoming texts are in Eastern time?

It's like that for me, and apparently a lot of people are having the same issue.

The messages I send are in pacific time, and the messages I receive are in Eastern time (+3hrs)....so it messes up the threaded SMS...

^^ that pic is a G1...yours?

bobo6833:
some videos have the option for "high quality" mode
When the video is loaded, press menu -> more -> High quality. (if there is no HQ option, that means the video doesn't support it)

I figured out how to watch high quality videos on youtube. Apparently for some reason when you youtube on the 3g network it downgrades the video. But if you youtube on wifi its quality is so crisp and clear as in hq and hd!

weird...

It probably has a network speed detection...and since Rogers 3G is slow, it downgrades the quality so it can keep up.

But like i mentioned a few posts above...sometimes the "HQ" option is avail. in the settings menu while viewing a video.
