Finally getting with the times and getting a smartphone...

[ajskillz13]

I have the original Incredible as well. Out of curiosity, what issue were you having? I really haven't encountered any problems.

I had an error saying I was low on space. Wouldn't let me download apps and wouldn't sync anything. Thing is, I wasn't low on space! Every stat on my phone said I had plenty in every spot possible! I tried clearing cache etc. Etc... Finally found the only fix was to root. Haven't had the problem once I got off HTC's Sense. I liked their interface, but it just had this one issue.

I'm on MIUI now. Pretty slick, but I think the support is going away. Will probably stay stock next time... At least for a week

I looked at the HTC Trophy but I wouldnt use it for what it is intended for. I have no need for a windows phone with office, outlook, etc. Plus it is Zune or something? Seems Android has lots more support/apps.

Zune is the media sync software. WP7 is superior to Android. Haven't seen the iPhone 5 yet, but prefer WP7 to iPhone 4. And I'm not asying that because MS is paying me pretty penny. Check it out for yourself: Windows Phone Mango Update | Custom Ringtones, Visual Voicemail, and More | Windows Phone 7.

Have the OG Droid 1 (Motorola Droid) , love it , waiting on the Nexus Prime for VZW .
iPhone 4s is all that came out , has lots of things that Android already has .
Can't go wrong with a HTC device , good equipment (wife has a older Eris) .
Rooting and hacking is the main reason I went with Android , that and I am a Linux freak , so any Android device I get has to have unlocked bootloader , period .
Rooted right off and custom ROMs and UI (Pete , CyanogenMod , Droid Concepts , Slayer , P3Droid kernels) , tried MIUI (loved it when it was FroYo but Gingerbread is quirky) makes the Droid look and function just like a iPhone , yuck , why ?
All the apps mentioned are great apps to have .
It is nice to be able to search for anything at any time , products , forums , trivia , general knowledge , Twitter , Face Book , the world in your pocket .

To the guy with Win7 soon to be 8 , you are in a class by yourself , for right now it is IOS5 or Android soon to be ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) , you are definitely a trendsetter , maybe . :surrender:

Forgot to add , "Tazer Free" is a fun app , great if you have young ones you like to tease , serves no other purpose .

Ok, first of all calm down.

This is a typical reaction to having the information of the world at your finger tips.

Now when your network is down or your out of the 3G or 4G network and have to deal with Edge or less, you will feel withdrawl symptoms and possibly become upset. This is natural and should be taken lightly. No need for cussing or hyperventilating. Patience is all that is required.

In the mean time you should get the Google "Sky Map" app. Its a real time planetarium in the palm of your hand. You just hold the phone up to the sky and the accelerometers tell it where it is and you get a real time view of the heavens. It's a good app if you have an open sky where you live or close by where you can see the stars. Not much good in a city. Your daughter will love it.

I rock an iPhone 4 (soon to be 4S) and run the "Star Walk" app which is frikk'in awsome. On the iPad its even better.

Small steps for now though.

Enjoy your new addiction. :iconbeer:

Well, I have had the same phone Droid Inc 2 for just right about 2 years now...

Love the phone still but time to move on. Started acting up on me and just randomly shutting itself off. Late to work a couple times because of it since I use it for my alarm. Now it wont stay on for more than a couple minutes if that. Even when plugged into the wall. Battery shows full charge, but after restarting a few times shows dead. Plug it into the wall and it says full charge and wont show charging symbol. Then dies when I try using it.

I am eligible for upgrade so instead of wasting money on a battery for the Dinc and hoping it fixes my problem, I figured I'd just as well get a newer phone.

Again, i'm not all about the latest greatest thing so I looked at what was available and reviews/price first. Ended up going with a Samsung Galaxy S 3. I know the S4 is already out but no biggy to me. Got this one for $49. Super happy with that and I really love the phone so far. Quite a bit bigger than the Dinc 2. Think its a little skinnier though. Great phone. And I'm finally 4G now! Can really tell a difference for sure. Much faster browsing/video loading.

I LOVE my Galaxy S3!!! almost 10 months in on ownership now. Got it last year at Sams Club Black Friday Plus Member sale for only $0.99 each for my wife and I.

Love smart phones but HATE the monthly bill... $150/month for us is crazy stupid. We might try that Walmart Smart Talk in a year when our contract is up.

For anybody looking to get out of the contract world: If you are OK with having sprint's network, TING (ting.com) is a very affordable way to pay for your phone bill - NO CONTRACT. You have to have a Sprint phone, but they have lots available, new or used. Or you can buy one off of Amazon for cheap... if needed. My husband has a Samsung Galaxy Victory, I have an HTC EVO Design 4G, and depending on our data usage our TOTAL bill for the month is ~$35. If you want the newest phone you'll have to pay the full price, though. There was an HTC one available for over six hundred dollars.... Not my cup of tea
The only issue I have had so far is that I can't make calls from inside my work - the steel/concrete building totally destroys the signal... So pretty big issue... Seems to be a sprint problem, so if interested, be aware of that.
Ting has the best customer service ever.

I think I might get one now, my old phone keeps saying its 10am, every hour now.

I had privacy concerns about Batman's butler previously, billionaires are trustworthy right ?

Most useful apps i use inconjunction with moto is GoogleMaps and for Track days RaceChrono

Otherwise general smart phone stuff like music player, camera, compass, converter tools, dictaphone, weather etc plus games for boredom busting are all good.
