Talking How do YOU demo (Show-off) your phone?

"WOAH! What phone is that??"

You: "This is the Nexus One. Check THIS out..."


(What do you do when showing off your phone? And have you converted any iPhone/BBers out there? Let's hear some stories!)

I show them the live wallpapers, especially the live earth rotation one.

I also show off how well google syncs up.

As well, I show off the youtube app, then that I have about 50 youtube videos downloaded.

I also show off the camera, damn good for a phone!

The keyboard, and how fast I can type on it(I can fly with this! Better than any hardware keyboard I have every used, although can't do it blind.)

Most of all, I show them how fast I can move from app to app, screen to screen, and what not... I usually do about a 2 minute demo that shows off almost the entire phone, and not once does it ever sit there waiting to load. That is the most impressive aspect of all!
Current:
Me: LG Thrill, rooted, et al
Wife: Infuse, slaps my hand away before I can root it...

I throw there phone to the ground crunch it with my boot then demand they kiss my phone as I pinch and zoom the pic of me crapping in a urinal.

OR

Do the "navigate to ___" to show them the turn by turn GPS nav.

Are you using the stock keyboard and portrait or landscape orientation? Thanks!

Stock keyboard in landscape, portrait is a little small. One of the first things I do with any phone is type as fast as my thumbs can move, and I found that I could go way faster than I thought I could or would be able to...

I find myself typing really slow at times trying to make sure I hit the key, then remember that I can just start flaring away, and it will keep up. About the only thing I really do I can think of some might not is that I make sure I pull my thumb all the way up, partially and likely mostly easy and quick for me because I am a drummer and tap a lot, so am used to it. As well, I type with no fear!

Interesting, I've never tried typing fast. I get frustrated with on screen keyboards, I miss my G1 keyboard

Do you use the vibrate on keypress or leave it off? (If this has an effect on typing speed)

Personally I use haptic (vibrate)...we should start a keyboard tips and tricks thread
