I am still in the era of messaging phone, nothing smart about the one I own. So peoples opinions on this would definitely help me as I'm up for an upgrade and debating between the Droid Incredible, iPhone and Blackberry Bold :wave:

I have an Android now and I like it a lot. I know someone who has had the Blackberry Bold and it was good too. But I personally like the Iphone when I had it and wish I would have stuck with it. I have ran into quite a few issues with the Android and I know someone who has ran into issues with the Blackberry as well. But never have I had any problems with the Iphone. My husband has actually had his for a year or so and has never had any problems with his either.... But as far as the apps go Android is starting to out sell Apple.

The problem with the iPhone is that you can't change out the battery on your own you have to take it in to get it changed out which costs $$$. Ain't cheap. Also the iPhone doesn't have flash so you can't play some youtube videos. The front screen is super easy to break cause it's made of glass.

my daughter just got an Android.  She says it has apps for everthing.  She just told me the more she finds out about it the more she likes it.

I have the HTC evo 3D, I think it's way better then the iPhone, yes Apple may have a bigger selection of apparently, but android will get them if they don't already have what you want. Most of the apparently work great, I suggest following apps that are well rated and only download one at a time use it for a few days to make sure it doesn't mess up your phone then download another one and so on. I don't ever pay for apps I get the free ones. Good luck.

I downloaded a stop watch  and pedometer. They seem to work ok.  Have the crap that the company put on there is worthless and costly. I wish a company would ask want a person wants on a phone and lower the price.

I have an android smart phone. I have had it for about 3 months and I love it. It is very convenient and saves me a lot of time. I stay organized and it helps me find anything that I need. I stay in close touch with places I am members of, it tracks my packages that I order, free music and videos, driving directions, and so much more. I didn't really think I needed it, but now that I have it, I love it!

Question to Android users: my boyfriend has a android powered via ATT and if he tries to make a call or just continue a call while near certain lamps (they must be on) his signal goes low or non-existant.  My Pantech with ATT does just fine.  But we know it's the lamp that is messing with his phone.  Does anyone else have problems with their android and signal?

I don't have problems around lamps, however, I barely get any bars at all when in my house.  I have sprint though.  I've called for them to update the towers, but it did not do anything.  I rooted my phone, updated my phone...pretty much have done everything I can think of and the signal blows.  Not sure if it has something to do with the Nexus S 4G or my provider.  I've just been dealing with it.  It's kind of a pain especially when it says text messages aren't sent and my friends tell me it's sending them like 5 times.  Did he try to get a replacement...maybe his phone is defective?  I went to the sprint store, but they didn't really do anything.

Do you have wi-fi in your home? Try turning on the wifi on ur phone and connecting to your home wifi... I have poor signal in my house also and since I keep my wifi on all the time my phone goes so fast. However I have to turn it off while completing offers and doing the daily emails and stuff cuz it just closes out or won't show the "redeem" button. But I love my android phone its awesome.

I have an Android powered phone (Pantec Crossover) and I love it. It's better than my Blackberry Pearl was and I like the apps better than what I liked on my Ipod touch (which is pretty much the same as the Iphone IMO). The apps are great and there is a wide selection.

I have had an Android now for a few months and I love it.  I can talk to the phone and it types my text for me, lots of Apps,,and it's easy to use.  Only thing I have found is that some area's I don't get very good service...mostly rural area's though...it's so cheap..only $48 a month for unlimited everything so I guess I shouldn't complain really...but would be nice if the coverage area would get a little broader.  But until then, I will keep using it, the apps and loving the money I'm saving with it compared to others I have had.

I've had an HTC Incredible for almost 2 years now and I'm very happy with it.  There are some apps out there that'll cause reboots and drain your battery, but overall I haven't had much of a problem.

I have an HTC as well and it's worth every penny. Most of the apps I use are social networking based, though I do have the occasional addicting game like Alchemy and Frogger.

The only thing I really can't find is a good app for Google Docs. It doesn't open easily on my web browser AT ALL and the app I had for it crashed every 30 seconds. Do anyone know any decent apps to open and arrange Google Docs on an Android?

After long denying I needed this much technology in a phone, I bought my Android a few months ago and simply love it.  I think it has everything on there except the long answer to pie.  :notworthy: :peace:

Go with android, lg optimus v has the cheapest smartphone service in the world, just $35 a month everything unlimited except calls(600 minutes) and your not in a contract. Has youtube and you can download apps that let you make money off your cellphone similar to what fusion does!!!!!

I finally invested in an Android back in June as I am looking for a new job. It does most of what I want it to. It is nice that I can check emails when I am on the road. I too am really only caught up to texting from my previous phone. I do like the keyboard and the smart words so I can write faster but as  man with big fingers sometimes they get in the way. I am not so big on apps as I do not rely on that instrument for everything. I check in on my FB once in a while but I don't trust banking and other things that I feel should be secure. I don't play games online or on the phone, I think I have better things to do with my time. But so far I am happy. Unfortunately for me, where I live is close to the Gulf of Mexico and no matter what service I have I don't get the best reception at my home. I do much better when I move inland where there are more towers and satellites, etc. I went with a package from Boost mobile as they were offering a declining monthly payment. 6 months at $50, then six months at $45 and after that I will remain at $35 and all is unlimited. I set it up for auto withdrawal and have had all the payments on time which was another condition. I think I will remain happy with it. I just wish I got better reception closer to home.

I would think so because,  the android offers more free apps that are actually good. Whereas other only have corny stuff that they offer for free

I just got an Android phone - 1 week ago. I am still trying to find and figure out the 'apps'.
It seems so far there are a lot out there, but I am still 'fiddling around' with it
