As a self proclaimed electronic techie, I have owned and operated all the Droid phones, the Blackberry Storm and an IPhone. The IPhone itself is awesome, but the phone calling quality really blew chunks. The Storm froze up and was inoperable more than operable. I have heard that they have fixed most of the bugs, but the Droid op system is way better. The HTC Droid Eris was my first Droid. It did everything I wanted and the only drawback was it's speed of processing. They have since upgraded the software and it is better. Next was the regular Motorola Droid, which was larger than the HTC Eris and a little too bulky for me. I am not a big texter so I never really used the sliding keyboard. I felt the phone was too big, so I went to the Droid Incredible. The Incredible is my favorite, the right size and fast speed. Now the review on Droid X, I love everything except it's size, which I knew from the get go. I wanted a larger screen for my failing eyes, and it fits the bill. Overall. I would recommend this for people who want video features or browse the web alot, otherwise, get the Incredible. It's size and funtion ability is great.Read full review
I have Cricket for my cellular provider and have used a few mobile phones so I believe I can make an educated Overall Rating. I replaced an HTC 6800 because its browser really sucked. Granted since it was like 3 years old and since I flashed the phone I do not know if I could have updated the software. It could not link to the Sprint Network.!!! Now to pick this phone apart calling Balls and Strikes: Con: The Microsoft Word on it sucks beyond belief in my opinion. You can cut, copy, and paste with both but the Droid makes it all or nothing. The HTC 6800 could select a single word, sentence, or paragraphs. Being an analytical thinker I loved that on the 6800. Awesome #1: It is very easy to use and has tons of gadgets. The 6800 was easy to use and had some but nothing like this. Awesome #2: I love the Google Mapquest that is uses. It gives verbal driving directions so no need to look phone while driving. Set the locations, turn down the radio, and forget it. Now if you make a wrong rurn or want to use a different highway it will redirect you. Think using back roads to bypass traffic. The HTC 6800 did not. Awesome #3: It has a way better Camera and Video Camera because it even gives you the option to use a wide screen in the picture settings. Awesome #4: It has 7 separate desktops you can use and get to by sliding your finger left or right and on any one of them. The center one is your home desktop you see all the time or when booting up the phone like a pc. I use the pc analogy because it is one without a cd-rom. Awesome #5: Another awesome thing sliding you fingers apart on the screen almost always enlarges every page or picture you want to. Only once in like 3 months it did not zoom the page. Awesome #6: It let me download a New Update for the Mapquest Application. Think an update it like Windows does for its software & safety. Roads get changed & added all the time. Awesome #7: If you have a wireless router at home you will understand this. The phone has one built in. On your second desktop to the right of your home desktop page it has your on an off switch. P.s. Do not get pist when it sucks your battery dead like a vampire does a body. If you leave it on when you do not need it, it is your own fault. I hope these Pros and Cons can help you out a little.Read full review
I am a (former) Iphone user, but my company recently gave us company BlackBerry Curve's. I bought this Storm 2 to replace the company phone, and and am impressed. It's amazing how you forget what a grown up phone can do. The storm has lightning fast app launching, easily switches between apps, great camera and video camera, built in ability to operate all Office documents, and the ability to theme your phone. (without hacking or "jailbreaking") The clicking touch screen takes a little while to get used to, but it offers a wider selection option, such as hovering without selecting. It merges email, sms, facebook, twitter, etc, by contact and on a desktop function that is easy to navigate, and you can see everything for the contact in a timeline. The swift handling of email (especially MS exchange) is unmatched in any other phone, The design of the operating software is extremely intuitive, making composing, editing, attaching files to, and sending messages much easier and faster than other touch screen phones. There are also built in magnet sensors that recognize when you put the phone in it's holster, and adjust the sound and vibrate notification settings appropriately, while also putting the phone to sleep. It will also recognize when it's snapped into a navigation holder in a car, and automatically launch the nav software. The web browser on this phone is annoying and small, and apps like pandora and iheartradio do not stream well. The phone will never compete with the iphone in interface or range of applications, but I don't need that. I have a laptop with a wireless card and several computers at home and work. I can surf on those. The phone far surpasses the iphone in functionality when it comes to running multiple processes, intuitiveness, instant notification of email (not push every 5 min) and so on. If you need a great touch screen phone and you use your phone for business, this is the one, hands down. If you need your phone to surf the web and listen to the radio, it is not. As a side note, the phone will easily tether to a computer and operate as a modem, including thru Bluetooth.Read full review
Amazing phone with only a few shortcomings. First, the screen is amazing. It's a perfect size and resolution. Movies look amazing and pictures look very nice. The responsiveness of the phone is also very good. The 1ghz processor seems to do a very good job. The fact that it can use microsd cards is a huge plus. Apple is just plain dump for not allowing this. There are only 2 things I can really complain about. the first of course is the battery life. Everyone wants their battery to last forever but it's just not possible with this much processing power and screen size. I can get through most of a day and still have battery life left but still, having the plug it in every day is sometimes inconvenient. The second is no forward facing camera for face chat. I understand it would only work on a 4g network but still, to be able to face chat on wifi would be cool. Overall, I am very happy with the phone and would definitely buy ti again if given the opportunity.Read full review
My first foray into the android world after Blackberry. Main reason for purchase was overseas ability with the phone's quad band ability. Cannot yet rate on that feature although unlocking the phone was simple enough with a 5 minute call to Verizon. I do miss some of the intuitive features of BB such as auto capitalization when holding a letter key. The qwerty keyboard on the A956 is not as user friendly with its wide stance and position under the screen. Touch typing on the screen is an option but also presents problems mostly with accuracy. That said, I AM in love with the larger screen, zoom ability, and android apps. Wish I could learn how to program an auto-off and on like with my Curve 2, though. Overall I recommend it.
