[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1345396, member: 229"] Dolphin does a lot more native flash stuff than either the default browser or Opera (I've honestly not been too impressed with Opera for Android - I use it exclusively at home, but its hoaky on my Galaxy S) and it was quite a bit more versatile than the native Android browser before they updated it (the dolphin browser that is, I've not updated my phone's OS). I suspect a new update will come along soon and fix the sluggishness of how it launches and handles a few things so I'll be back to using it again. The paid version of ATK doesn't do too much more than the free one, but it gives you just a few more options if you want to really get into the specifics of what you want killed all the time - and no ads (I broke a lot of stuff before backing it off to just allow what I wanted). Its not a perfect solution, but I wanted to use the phone without rooting it for a bit to see how good/bad it was. Its manageable and not too shabby right now, so when I root it, I'm expecting to be even more impressed. I'll say this - a lot of the apps out there can be replaced with lighter, better apps that do the same thing without the need for a task killer - not all of them, but quite a few. My phone is actually quite stable, but a lot of the apps I've seen want way too much control over the phone so I just go without - be aware that a lot of this stuff is basically spyware and collecting info about you in order to use the free app. My mom's DroidX actually had a few apps out there that forced her to hard-reset/restore-to-factory the phone to undo what they did (the face-down auto-quiet app or whatever its called is famous for this). Sloppy app makers who don't test everything are just a part of the Android world I guess - they seem to be getting better, but there are so many platforms out there that you've got to be careful and read reviews before installing. Still - I love mine and wouldn't trade it for an iPhone (it is very remnant of the Nokia Symbian phones I used to own - very customizable, but you've got to be careful about certain things). [/QUOTE]
