Trying the Droid for a month... I must say it ROCKS! :punk:
 
What a great phone.. It's damn fast! :)

I'm not so happy about the email push but I'm learning to live with it...

I also miss my Garmin app - but the Google map app is kinda close... I bet when Garmin releases their phone I can get a new Garmin app for the Droid - we will see... :)

I can honestly say that I am impressed!

The Android is a great phone! :notworthy:

I personally hate blackberrys having had the pearls starting with the first flat one and then second the pearl flip, ive gone through 3 phones on both of them and it one thing after another me and my fiancee are switching to verizon soon and were going to get the Driod Eris, but do it the cheap way buy them at walmart activate them through Verizon :D
 
OK, I am old, way old I guess, but in 2 months I can upgrade free to new phones, so WTF is current tech, like droid, I just figured out how a blackberry works
so I want something I can surf the net on and call people, School me.

I would go with a Droid, because it is just like a blackberry you have to pay monthly for the internet service but it as far as it seems doesnt have half the issues a black berry does and you dont have to worry about the track ball getting stuck or it being a hunk of :dung:

LOL - I use my BB because I can get real time updates on the Web sites I run, thankfully the Droid can do the same... :)
 
Another cool feature is the droid will also work on wifi, and when it does it uses less battery power

The BB Storm 2 uses Wifi... That is the phone I traded in... :)

Ok that sold me lol i hate BLACKBERRYS! they pieces of junk imho

BB are really meant for professional usage - that is where they excel! On the enterprise level - there is no phone that can compare! Nothing beats a BB using an exchange server - unfortunately many buy a BB thinking it will make a great 'home' phone and then they are disappointed... :(

Example - I was in Germany and was able to be up dated in real time with a meeting that was going on in the states via my BB, they do serve and have their purposes... :)







Android so far -

Good Things


1) Best graphics I have ever seen

2) Blazingly fast!

3) External apps galore! Many are free and the ones that are not are just a few $$. All apps are viewable from the phone and you can read customer reviews, :)

4) The touch screen just works, no BS and no funky clicking.

5) The WEB browser does what a browser should do! Every site I have visited renders perfectly.

6) The unlock code is cool - drag a symbol on the phone to unlock it! :)




Bad things

1) I hate the email app! If you have multiple accounts (as I do for my web sites), the email push sucks! This is where the BB stands out, BUT, by forwarding all my emails to my gmail account I was able to circumvent this problem...

2) NO VOICE DIALING WHEN CONNECTED TO MY BLUE TOOTH CAR DEVICE! WTF? :wtf: Crazy how this is not available! The Droid has voice recognition - but I can't use it in my truck???? :confused: (hoping an app is created to do this)

3) Google maps is OK, it's free and works - but - give me back my Garmin... Hell Garmin has an Android phone... I want my Garmin GPS back! :laugh:

4) Battery life sucks when the phone is running full tilt, turn off GPS and wifi when not in use and then is is decent. :) But, there is a free app that will do this for you (as long as you download and install it)... :)

5) Expensive - If I didn't have such a great plan through my employer, I would have never traded up??? The Droid cost me $30 on a one year plan... :) Retail cost was $269 with a $100 rebate - way too much money! (IMHO)
 
I hate phones, I'll take the jeep or truck over to your house if your home, we'll speak if not, catch ya later.
If it's an emergency leave a msg on the phone at home, LOL.
Stupid phones, yes I and the wife have cell phones but mainly for emergency use only, hell we text more than we call.

I Hate phones also - but I have no way to keep up with the outside world... I receive real time messages from the forums I run... Kinda like a IN YOUR FACE link....
 
After reading all the posts I guess that I live in the stone age.:) Mine dosnt even have a camera on, I can make calls and receive calls.
So what the HECK are you talking about Blackberry and Droids.

Blackberry something you eat and makes great jam.:)
Droid something out of Star Wars? R2D2 was cool!:D

I guess I have to get a little more geeky.:notworthy:
 
well I took the plunge, I went eith the andriod
wow is this thing nice
fast and stuff, I love it
 
i'm using a samsung omnia winmo smartphone with a custom rom you wouldn't believe what windows mobile can do when people start hacking it. pretty soon they (the techno geniuses) that hack and customize win. mo will have android running on an omnia. whats pretty cool about it is i'm running an operating sys. on a phone thats alomost 2 yrs old. but the software is newer than what is currently out. messin with cell phones is another little hobby i'm gettin into just to see what can be done with it. i.ve found out that my cell phone is just as customizable as my jeep lmao
