Trust me when I tell you don't go with Sprint, I had them for years and they were far and away the worst cell carrier I ever dealt with. Verizon is more expensive but 100% worth it. I am just waiting for them to come out with an iphone and I'll probably switch from ATT myself...

djroof · 01-04-2011, 11:15 AM

of course SAMSUNG GALAXY S ...

You're in NY - Get a Droid Pro on Verizon...it's like a blackberry but with touchscreen and the carrier actually doesn't drop calls. Fuck ATT they are the worst.

djroof · 01-04-2011, 11:40 AM

how cost galaxy there?

NetHorse · 01-04-2011, 11:41 AM

Galaxy S, although, right now might not be the best time to buy a new phone. Rumors are circulating about the next generation of phones with 4G capability to be released soon.

The DroidX feels too big and clunky, the screen looks dull in comparison to the super AMOLED in the Galaxy S and retina on the iphone and the software feels laggy, (Galaxy S runs the latest 2.3 gingerbread).

The HTC EVO is worse than all of them, especially in-terms of battery life.

Persius · 01-04-2011, 11:41 AM

Juicy, Htc evo is nice but it is huge!

Won't even fit in your pocket , one thing i don't like about most androids

candyflip · 01-04-2011, 11:43 AM

The Sprint version of the Galaxy has the slide out keyboard and isn't all that bulky. Maybe compared to the iPhone, but not at all compared to the other Android phones.

The Nexus S is the best phone on the market, but it's a variant of the Galaxy S. It will get all the most up to date software releases first and fastest. You can buy it unlocked and put it on TMobile or ATT if I'm not mistaken.

abshard · 01-04-2011, 12:16 PM

I just moved from verizon to T-mobile and got the MyTouch 4G its pretty nice. For 99/month you get unlimited talk,text,data

Jim_Gunn · 01-04-2011, 12:46 PM

I love my Evo 4G, it fits in my pants pockets just fine. It's hard to look at phones with puny 3.7" screens now like the iPhone! The battery life on the Evo isn't great, but it is manageable and I am almost always somewhere I can re-charge it if need be, either at home, my office, locations for filmimg etc.

I also like the HTC Sense UI. It is evolving and becoming an aspired to standard in the Android community. I do miss a hard keyboard, but there's the Epic for Sprint , a Samsung Galaxy S phone if you want one of those. There's also nothing wrong with moving over to Verizon for one of the Droid phones if Verizon service works better in your area. Contrary to what someone else said, Sprint service has been working great for me for years now here in South Florida and other places I go every year like Vegas & Tampa. I have unlimited data, 4G service now in South Florida and many other cities and almost never a dropped call and at the lowest price in the business.

The important thing is that once you are on the Android platform, you will have access to all of the mostly free apps, features and customizations that the Android community has made available.

96ukssob · 01-04-2011, 12:49 PM

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm getting sick of this shit network of dropping calls constantly, the phone is not really worth it.

IMO, id go with the 4g EVO or Droid X.

Verizon just announced their 4G network, I'm going to hold off and wait until it comes out in my area soon and pick up one of their phones

The EVO is with out a doubt the best droid out there, especially if you like a big screen.

When i moved from verizon to tmobile they said it would take about 24 hours,i was able to make outgoing calls on the new phone pretty much after i left the store but it took a few hours to recieve them on the new phone.

We just did one recently. Sprint said it could take a few days, but it took about 12 hours.

And at the moment, the EVO is NOT the best Android phone on the market. There's really no debating that.

NetHorse · 01-04-2011, 03:47 PM

I don't know how you guys prefer the EVO and DroidX. The screen is almost 30% bigger and it has a lower resolution than the iPhone. Unless you zoom in the clarity of the text on the iphone puts both of them to shame. Use both phones side by side browsing a site and you will see what I'm talking about. Screen size isn't everything.

The Galaxy S is a bit more crisp with a slightly smaller, (better pixel density) super AMOLED screen. So if you wanted an android coming from an iPhone 4 I would go in that direction.

fobert · 01-04-2011, 05:45 PM

i'd wait for CES and the release of phones like the lg optimus2x/star; 1-1.2ghz dual core, 1080 recording, 4g/lte, samoled...and thinner than the iphone 4: link to engadget article...

Zorgman · 01-04-2011, 05:48 PM

HTC Desire (white).

So does skype work with any of the droid phones? For face to face talking, etc?

Puremeds-J · 01-04-2011, 06:07 PM

I've been going back and forth between the Galaxy S and the Droid X. I have the old droid right now..

ExtremeBank_Adam · 01-04-2011, 08:28 PM

The new Evo Shift 4G for Sprint comes out on January 9. Thinking of dropping my iPhone, too... I hate my phone.

I still have an active Sprint account, so I'll probably add either that or the Evo 4G in the next week or so.

epitome · 01-04-2011, 08:54 PM

I love my HTC Incredible. Same size as iPhone and same feel.

Not the video chat, but you can have phone and text conversations through Skype the same as you would on the desktop.

Plus, if you want, you can use Google Voice to make all or some phone calls (can set it for all, or ask before each call) and handle voice mail, which I like. Your Google Voice number will piggyback on your phone and it will all be transparent.

bronco67 · 01-04-2011, 09:05 PM

I have a basic Droid, but I love my wife's HTC Incedible. Its an awesome phone.

xarizmendi · 01-04-2011, 11:33 PM

If you are coming from an Iphone4 I would get the Nexus S, that is the ONLY phone that has Gingerbread, I have the Droid2 just cuz I am used to the keyboard, and that has a pretty decent processor, although it does not compare to the AMOLED screen that the Nexus S has

Rique · 01-05-2011, 02:47 AM

I've got the Droid X, which on my big paws feels just right...

djroof · 01-05-2011, 02:49 AM

HTC has Windows ???

The Galaxy S is virtually identical to the Nexus S and the Gingerbread 2.3 Android software is compatible with it as well.

http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/s...ngerbread.html

I totally agree with the rest of your post though. If you're coming from an iPhone 4 get either of those two with the Super AMOLED screen and android 2.3.

The HTC EVO has android, the HTC HD7 has Windows 7. I'd stay away from the Windows 7 phones personally. It needs sometime to catch up to Android and Apple OS. Maybe in a year or two the Windows 7 phones will be something to consider.

nico-t · 01-05-2011, 03:34 AM

Get any Android that comes free with your plan and hook it up! None of them run to their full potential when you buy it.

2MuchMark · 01-05-2011, 06:12 AM

Why not just install Android on your iPhone instead?

Google search : http://www.google.ca/search?source=i...earch&aq=f&oq=

I haven't tried it yet but apparently you can have both operating systems on your iphone and boot up one or the other.
