Google Mobile Maps

2 thumbs up for Google Mobile Maps

Just like Google Maps you can search by address or landmark.
It shows you traffic using colored lines (red = traffic, green = none, yellow = slowness).

From your phone go to www.google.com/gmm from your phone's browser.

I will definitely give this a shot. I'm totally loving my new smartphone!

Google also has a mobile gmail client that doesn't involve setting up POP3 or your phones mail client as well as a mobile g-talk application (that I am having trouble finding the link for again).

I use this all the time on my phone. Robb makes fun of me and my phone and connectivity until it finds him what he wants...

We're using Octrotalk which has the advantage of being able to access not only gmail but yahoo, aim, msn as well at the same time.

Which phone did you finally decide on?

I hear that is a good app. If I didn't already have YIM, AIM on my phone I'd be all over it.

I have been exploring Handango.com of the recommendation of a friend. They have free apps and pay apps.

Got the Moto Q. Other than battery life and some weird power bugs (the first being solved by the extended battery I ordered and the second happening rarely enough that I'm not going to worry about it), it's a perfect phone for us.

Sorry for the

I'm not exactly sure how it got there. I must have been channeling NA. I'm thinking about a new phone too.

Yeah, battery life can be an issue. I forget what I did but someone here on LoT gave advice on something you can shut off to burn less power on the phone.

My other issue is that if I set the phone down exactly flat or bump it too hard it randomly shuts itself off.

That being said, otherwise I think it's a terrific phone and I still recommend it to people.

(the Motorola Q, that is)
