rudgr,
No surprise there as there were huge changes between v2.1 and v3.0. I've started the work but haven't completed it yet, when I do I'll post an update.

Hi, Sorry for posting in this thread, but the original thread seems closed. I'm trying to convert your Facebook starter kit template to use the 3.x version of the Facebook Developer Toolkit instead of the 2.0 version... I renamed all package names and I'm able to rebuild, but it isn't working as expexted....

Hey Bary,
You're right though in this case if File.Exists() it isn't going anywhere though I have another case where that could occur.

Of course, this introduces a race - a file may exist for File.Exists, but be deleted when you get its modification time. How likely that is to be a concern depends on your situation.

The keyboard on the Droid is too small and after using the EVO for a month I'm disappointed to have to return to it once the Sprint service expires. The keyboard on the EVO is great and much larger than the iPhone. I recently installed swype which seems to work really well though the Droid keyboard is so narrow you can see the keys you're swyping.

Great, thank you for your opinon.
As I would be using this for social media as well as calling, how difficult is the keyboard to get used to vs. a good Qwerty with numbers separate on top row? A lot of fat fingering or typing the wrong letter due to spacing issues, etc? I'd be doing a lot of Twitter updates, etc.

Thank you,
Alex

Oh, and I almost forgot. Google Voice ROCKS and is completely integrated into the phone so calls can be made in to/from the phone using your GV number and texting is free.

Hi Alex,
I personally like the HTC EVO the best at this point. It's a much better device than the Motorola Droid (which I really like) because of the big screen szie and if you're a Google fan then it's got a lot of integration features over the iPhone 3G. Also, the fact you don't have to use iTunes or connect your phone to your PC for any reason if you don't want to is a HUGE benefit in my book.

Admittedly, Google has a ways to go before the experience is going to be as smooth as Apple (if they ever get there) but they iterate so quickly that things seems to constantly be improving.

So which phone do you guys think is best, and why?

Best,
