the Sprint Nav app is really just the TeleNav app renames Sprint navigation. I have that same app installed on my tmo touchpro2 which would in turn work for any att winmo smartphone. Also I have Garmin Mobile XT installed on my TP2 which is pretty much the same great Garmin GPS with Google Search integrated.

So...ATT Tilt II plus Garmin Mobile XT app = Windows Phone with turn by turn voice navigation. Also the maps are stored on your SD card so no 3g connection is needed. So even in rural areas on on road trips you can still load maps without a data connection.

But i still recommend the Tmo TP2 since it is only $50 w/ 2 year commit.
oh ya and if you plug connect your broadband internet to your hd-dvr you can get up to 1080p on demand. its pretty cool.
Right now I'm on "the Best Package Ever." It's with DirectTV and has i think over 130 channels and include the now exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket which broadcasts all 14 games every sunday in monday in hd. It also has their premier package bundled in which includes pretty much evey channel they have including all 3 premiums like hbo, starz, showtime, and skinemax. its only $59.99+$10 for hd. so pretty much 69.99 for every channel dtv has except for of cour ppv's. well also 5 bucks for every additional box. pretty pretty pretty good deal.
It will be out very soon! No need for any additional equipment as it will work by adding more streams to the member. You will only be able to access the DVR from nonDVR boxes, you will not be able to record or delete from these boxes. Only DVRs with firmware version 1.6 and up will receive full Total Home DVR streams.
awesome but 500 no way. my xbox streams to my tv over my network. so does Orb (www.orb.com) and its free. and i have my slingbox for less than 80 and it does pretty much the opposite. so not till that price drops
target - console
mininova - pc
i have time warner right now in san antonio and have whats called the Watch and Surf Package for only $84 and it includes Roadrunner Turbo (which has 10 MBPS) and as always HD is free with Time Warner. the reason i speculate they are so nice to us SA residents is cause San Antonio is home of AT&T (U-verse). I see commercials daily where Time Warner is pointing out something that their service has better than AT&T's. But the sad truth is that most people in this town are stuck with TW even though they don't want to cause they are the only carrier besides dtv and dish. I'm happy with TW, but they do have horrible customer service compared to U-verse. Expect an hour wait for a national (international) call center located in India who then transfers you to a local call center when they can't troubleshoot it themselves. my experiuence is always just to lie to them and tell them you already have a trouble ticket but didnt write the number down and got disconnected from Tier 2. And if you dont need a digital phone dont forget to inquire about that NON-advertised watch in surf package. One last thing is dont forget to ask for your free wireless router and wireless adapters (i think up to 4) that are included with Roadrunner Turbo. and free HD Box with free component or HDMI cable. Most techs forget to give them to you. Sorry for randomness. just small shit i think people should know. on an ending note, if U--verse is available in your area and you sign up online they giver you first month free service and $150 cashback w/o a contract. great deal in my my eyes if you can deal with VDSL. and remember 2HD/SD is rolling out today in our great city (just reset your box). ahh another reason they might have added the great disney to hd today.

Just some Speed Tests for RR Turbo:

just like rendezvous said...as soon as they get FTTP (Fiber to the Premise) and replace that copper, who knows what else we'll recieve. Whole Home DVR is not far out though.
Whole room dvd should should be rolled out q3. and if you were already a member when the 2hd/2sd rolled out just reset your residential gateway or call billing to see if its available in your area yet and they should be able to set you up. to soft reset just hold on to the oblong power button for a few secs til 3 lights come on then release. Just keep checking.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
