this thing is a beast!

still getting an iPod lol

What a beast lol I'd be scared to get a phone like that because im just so clumsy, I drop them all the time.

the battery life is not so good

is it running gingerbread? can you root it?

gingerbread should be the op system, click settings scroll to bottom of page "about phone"
root is gaining access to the root system which allow you for run faster programs.
have a look here Al

here ya go Al

that looks a bit over my head at the moment but will keep an eye on that site for when i get into it a bit more.

That what i was like when i first got my galaxy s but now its so easy to flash a custom firmware or flash hacked games ect.

all android phones run googles op system , i think yours is still on froyo 2.2 gingerbread is 2.3 which allows flash player to work and better batt life. keep an eye on it mate some good stuff on that site if you are in to hacking phones ect
