Hi guys, I've been lurking these forums for a little while monitoring the CM7 progress. Now I need some advice. I work at RadioShack, and I bought a demo Touchpad (32gb), used the demo hack successfully, and now am patiently waiting for the wonderful CM7 team to do their magic. The store I bought it from called about a week ago and said they had a new retail unit being shipped to the store, and that I could come in and swap it out when it got there. They just called again and said that they couldn't get the retail unit (not surprising), but I could swap it out for a Toshiba Thrive instead. (In case anyone is wondering, idk if any other stores would honor this. I think it's a pretty unique situation.) So here's my list of pros and cons so far for the Thrive:
Pros:
GPS built in (this is a big one!)
full-sized HDMI and USB ports
rear-facing camera (have an actual camera. don't care.)
slightly bigger screen
replaceable battery
Cons:
heavy and ugly (but not too much worse than the Touchpad)
giant non-USB charger
no awesomely fast-paced dev community (but there is root and a couple ROMs elsewhere.)
What should I do? Thanks in advance. (Oh, and sorry about my first post being needy. Didn't plan for this.)
