Just bring it over. The first install is primitive and requires electric hammer installation. I’ll do it for you. LOL

You hit the nail on the head when you said that they’ll do everything to get your business but not much to retain it. That’s how Sprint got me - they offered the best Android phone (at the time) and AT&T was late to the game.

AT&T had become iPhone-centric, and all their other offerings were low to medium end phones. Combined with the service quality, it wasn’t hard to leave at all.

Now that there’s so much competition, it’s gotten very interesting, and very rewarding for the end user.

I had a Samsung Moment with Android, I absolutely hated it.
Not sure whether I had a bad phone or Android OS was not quite right. In either event that phone never worked right, slow to boot up, programs slow, etc..
Finally decided to try a Blackberry Style and I love it, easy to use, great programs and best of all connects to the computer for easy downloads.
I would not sell RIM short just yet.

Thanks for the heads up.

By the way, I’ve heard great things about the Droid X, including it’s toughness. I have dropped my EVO once, but it was okay.

I could never go smaller than a 4.3” screen now. I love FReeping from my phone!

Sounds good just as long as there is someone available to hold my beer during installation!

I own an old sony-erickson. Terrible phone, but good enough for now. How many conservatives are willing to give up cable and televison? The dollars that flow to the left through them are enormous....but we say we have to have our sports, etc.

I don’t miss either one. Broadband and netflix suffice.

[surfer]

I’m with you.

is there a way to ensure “big google” does not track your activity on your smartphone?

windows phone 7 seems a marketshare dud.

iphone is just apple. (but the stock keeps climbing)
