New Smart phone

[nchvac]

I just got a Droid Razor Maxx last night. I did get the otter box, and i can see where the card reader fitting is going to be an issue. I imagine I will have to do some whittling to make it work, and the little flap that covers the headset plug in will have to go, as it will require the device to sit about a quarter inch above the actual phone. Heck of it is that they don't seem to offer too many case options on these, and the otterbox is hard to take off the phone each time you just want to swipe a card. in fact, I think they make it that way to discourage it being taken off.

Anyone with the Otterbox and this phone or like kind have any suggestions as to what will work will be appreciated. Someone mentioned an extension, which would be nice if I knew where to get one.

What is this Tapatalk app that is being discussed?

There is a website called cables to go that sells the extension cable. Let me know if you want the link.

Tapatalk is the best money I ever spent on an app. Hands down! I would not bother with the forum if I didn't have that app.

So is it just a different format on the screen or something? I was thinking maybe you spoke to the phone and it typed it up. That could get a little messy though probably. 1 little screw up and we would have a 20 page post.

[jdblack]

Yeah its a different interface. If I could post screenshots I would. Maybe someone else will.

I may need to get that... however I spend too much time as it is on H-talk...

Taking H-talk with me might e destructive to productivity...

OTOH... it would be a great tool for information gathering... may need to get it.

I don't remove the sd card so im not much help.

I did try out the hdmi cable on a 40" 720p tv and quality on Netflix streamed was very good even on 5mb dsl. Didn't notice much difference on 4G @ 15mb.
