it may also be that the phone can't tell the orientation of the picture?
(thanks for deleting the extra blank one - could you fix the Ethiopian honey wine user issue? ;-)

Some of your pics are sideways. This makes me think your phone suffers the same issue as the droid that (e:chris) has, where instead of actually rotating the image, it embeds the rotation in the EXIF data. If I switch the mobile app to send the original size images to the server, I can read that and fix. Unfortunately, I am using androids built in image resizing routines to make the files smaller before sending as sending mulitple 8MP images of 3g is way to slow.

The lentil samosa-type things were awesome. I really liked the spicy chickpea stuff.
(e:Matthew): the washcloth-like bread has little gluten in it, according to this article :::link::: Not sure how that would sit with you. The rest of the food has a range of spicy from bland to less spicy than (e:Terry) & I get at India Gate.

Well, I'm going to be really adventurous and *not* take my DSLR to NYC this weekend, so I should have it down pat for Infringement. :-)

I look forward to seeing mobile posts on here and facebook (Just an idea try it out over there and get it worked out and down pat so you can do mobile from the infringement festival)

Yeah, I do. It's speedy!!! I've been so envious of google chat on the phone - that's an important communication method for me and the bffs - and now i've got it! and so much more. My Palm Centro is only about three years old (the model, not my specific phone) but it's so dated and limited now.
I was so focused on my phone that I locked my keys in the truck when I got to my apartment, and then the phone battery went dead. Luckily someone let me in my building and there's an outlet in the first floor hallway, so I charged while I talked to the geico roadside assistance. All better now.

Phone advice requested!Category: stuff
I'm on the waiting list for the Droid Incredible, which won't ship until 7/27 :-p
The Droid X is out today. Should I go to the store and get the X and kill the Incredible order?
These are very important questions.

(e:enknot) - I'm going thru battery like mad. I took the bus to NYC yesterday and the ads/website promised outlets & wifi, neither of which was true. Nine-hr bus ride, new phone, couldn't play with it all I wanted :-p I figured out pandora and google listen and wanted to enjoy them but noooooo. At least I conserved enough to meet Lisa's gf at the Port Authority terminal and didn't get lost.

I don't think I want to talk about whether I've touched (e:KeithT)'s big one.
The new phone is humongous compared to my Centro. It feels like I need a big protective pillow for it.

I'm glad I have a droid for now and can wait till the perfect storm hits before buying a new one. None of these are going to do it for me (since I'm on sprint to begin with), but if I had to pick one it'd be the one with a longer battery life. Everything else on these devices is so much better than what you have if you have no smart phone I don't think it'll matter, and if you do have one it's such a huge speed improvement you'll be giddy with techy wonder too, but battery life is the little death destroys every good time. Still you can go paul style and get a 2nd battery and charge stand, which you should regardless since it's an ability your phone will have over those eye devices no matter which one you pick.

I would definitely go for the droidX. Alone, the better battery life sounds good. If you have handled (e:ekeithT)'s big one, you would know how awesome the large size is. Compared to his mine is so average size.

The Droid X is bigger, personally I prefer phones that fit nicely in my pocket, but the bigger screen may be appealing. Droid X and Droid Incredible have very similar screen resolutions, though.
Droid X is supposed to have a better battery.
Droid Incredible also ships with a slightly non-standard version of Android (with HTC's Sense theming), so I *believe* but may be wrong, that the Droid X will tend to get Android OS updates quicker since it's easier to release an update without HTC's issue of needing to update all the custom stuff.
