monday i get switched to verizon. im with centennial. i currently have a droid and i feel i can do what ever a iphone can do and most of my music and apps are free. plus with the switch over a new droid is free iphone is 200

So why is a iphone any better?

iPhone's are not better. People that have them are followers. Getting the EVO next week, super stoked about it.

i have the htc inspire and i can't complain about it at all. Just as quick as an iphone. The iphone 4s screen is brighter though.

My favorite thing about the droids is that you don't need itunes or any fancy program to put songs on/off. Just open up the phone and drag whatever music/pics/videos right onto it

x2, I don't have any songs on mine but I take alot of pics with it of my lil boy so it's nice to just be able to mount the phone to my computer as a hard drive and pull the pics off.

I like my Droid phone, but I am not liking Sprint. I went to Sprint after Rita to get better reception in lower Cameron Parish.
For some reason, their phone service started going down the tubes this past winter.
When I use the phone, it sometimes sounds like the person I am talking to is in a tin
can and it cuts out real bad. They said they don't see problems on their end, but my
dad, wife and sisters all have Sprint and have the same issue. So does some friends
who work not far from my house.
If they don't fix it soon, I am leaving Sprint.

I called a bunch of times to Sprint about the issue with the scratchy and echoing phone calls and they told me they know they know they have a problem and are trying to fix it but dont know whats wrong or how to fix it. I just renewed my contract in January and it has gotten so bad that the last time I called the lady told me that it was not known how much longer it would be before the problem would get fixed but that I can get out of my new contract at no cost. My mom has Verizon and loves it but is moving out of the country for a job and I am gonna take her contract till January 2012 and if I don't like it i will do something else but this seems like a good deal for me.

If it ain't fixed by the time our contract is up with Sprint, we going somewhere else.
I think all the other companies towers are working down in the parish now anyway.

I have the HTC evo (android) and have it tweaked so service and usuability is unlike no other phone/service. I can honestly say this is the longest I ever had the same one phone for over a year...and although. I don't mind upgrading, I don't really see the need to, as of now. And that's something serious to say if you're a techy...for a dude in colloege...its the ultimate tool. Just for my major(electrician) there's countless apps related to electrician work and apps that help in my other classes.3g at home is faster ,at tomes, than my home DSL. I can do anything and everything on my phone that I can do on my laptop. Everything except burn CDs....but I can turn my computer on to burn a CD without touching the computer.....


Also..k have no use for my data cable now...only use to charge it

You have the ElectroDroid app? I downloaded it a few weeks back, it's pretty cool. It gives you all kinds of calculators for resistors, batteries, voltage, Ohm's Law and pin out diagrams for a bunch of cables which is what I mostly use it for being a computer tech.
I also use AndFTP, 2X Client, AndroWin, Dropbox and The Total Equipment Protection Plan app daily. I really like the TEP app because I have it set to back up all of my contacts every morning at 2 AM that way if ever I lose my phone all I have to do is download the app onto the new phone, sign in and it will download all of my contacts back onto the phone for me.

I saw the ohms law and resistor chart one. Going try the electodroid. Also doesn't gmail automatically back up contacts,email,and such? Astro is my favorite all around file manager and dropbox is the bomb diggity.also hacked the prl to run Verizon and unlocked the native hoptspot function.

Use jefit in the gymand 2 or 3 other internet radio

Runtasric to time, map,and keep run stats


Also sign up for Google music. Its still beta but it will elimnate the need for mp3s in your SD....cloud servers rock

Use NAVIONICS and marine weather on the boat.

Did I mention make most of my posts and pics/videos on saltycajun via phone

Navigation is spot on

Unlimited everything for 79 plus tax
