Today Zimly became the proud parent of a Nexus One and Motorola Droid (will put up the pictures tomorrow).
Both of our babies look beautiful! We love ‘em both equally, but if I had to pick a favorite I would say that the Nexus One is by far a much sexier device than the Droid (imho).
The Nexus One was ready to go as soon as we powered it up. The Droid gave us a little bit of a scare though because when we first turned on the phone we were presented with an activation screen that looks like this:
Convenient if you want to easily activate your phone I guess… but scary for us because we were hoping to be able to use the phone without activating it. All we needed to use was the WIFI to test out our application. So for a second we thought we had just thrown 400 dollars down the drain.
Luckily, though, the internet came to the rescue. We found a very easy workaround. Just tap the four corners of the screen, starting with the top left corner and rotating clockwise (
picture and detailed instructions here), and the phone jumps past the activation screen and begins working flawlessly (minus the phone features of course).
And so with that obstacle handled, we welcome both the Nexus One and Droid to our Zimly family.
