Droid X for my personal line, Blackberry Bold 9650 for my employee line
I work for Verizon Wireless, so yea, I think I belong in this thread :word:
 
I've been debating getting another droid phone. I have the original motorola droid with qwerty keyboard but now they have the Droid incredible, Droid X and Droid 2. I was tempted to by the Droid X which has the faster processor,hdmi port and larger screen but I like my flipup keyboard. I was wondering if anyone could weight in on this. Anyone into these Droid phones?
 
I'm still using the Motorola RAZR. :csad:
 
I have the HTC EVO & I love it. But I wish phones would let you use MP3 as Voice Mail Greetings. The recordings on phones are all terrible
 
Hahaha Marx, get with the times brotha! Lol
 
I know. I am in desperate need of a new phone. :csad:

Don't feel to bad Marx. I have had a Motorola for years while the rest of the world went & got Iphones & Androids. It was not until this Summer I got my first Android Phone with the EVO. Everyone's time will come eventually

I had the original Droid and went to the Droid X, as much as I loved my original, the X add's a lot of features I really love. The news/social networking/contact widgets are fantastic, and the touch keyboard works really well because of the screen size the buttons are large and it comes preloaded with swype, another very cool keyboard. Personally I use the keyboard "swiftkey" which you download from the market (free). It has the best word prediction I have ever seen.

they are really good, the one I have isnt bad. I usually have it as a mp3 player more than anything else and my model has wifi so I can look at the internet for free.

I've always heard good things about them and I like the look of them. I'm not really an iphone kind of guy. (Not that there's anything wrong with people who own iphones.)

I also have the HTC Hero from Sprint. It's not the best Droid phone out there, but I like it alot esp. after I discovered how to upload MP3 files and create my own ringtones. :hrt:

But the smartphone that I really coveted is the Apple iPhone 4:

Maybe you can get the new Blackberry Torch. It has the smartphone capabilities but it is still a Blackberry.

The Torch looks pretty cool. Do you know if it's the size of a normal Blackberry, or is it more like the BlackBerry Pearl?
