Phone thread! Smart phone junkies!

Anyone familiar with the Droid X or Samsung Fascinate?

I have an iphone 4 and I love it! But I just can't stand AT&T! Dropping calls everytime i'm on the phone while driving. Or even if i'm walking around my house! Just some fyi... all of my iphones have done this. Not just my 4. But now there are finally some real options to look at.

Those are the only two phones I am considering to swap too since they are both Verizon! So all you Spring and T Mobile fanboi's can rest here!

Droid X looks sweet. But honestly, I love the iOS interface way more then the android.

I know... The iphone 4 is amazing. It's so solid in every aspect EXCEPT being a phone!

I have a Droid X, it's a pretty kewl phone. No Droid 2.2 on it yet(no idea why, the droid 2 has it).Verizon's service is decent where I live(middle of nowhere).

same with me. to be honest i don't EVER get dropped calls unless in a massively concrete building or in a concrete tunnel. other than that i don't ever have service issues (and i have been up north in the middle of nowhere too).

I currently have a Samsung Propel Pro running WM6.1 and I like it fair enough, but it's just becoming too slow for me these days. I never really wanted an iPhone cause everyone and their mother has one, but my father got an iPhone 4 and I love it! I'll see what can happen when I replace my phone under warranty. (It doesn't vibrate anymore and I've had it less than a year)

I love my N900, you should check it out.

Btw I know you said:

[ChrisUlrich]

Are there any new Verizon smartphones coming out soon?

i didnt even know my iphone 4 had a normal phone function

I love my HTC Legend running 2.2. Android also kicks the crap out of iOS. Booo-urns to a boring, static home page with only icons.

 

[voyagerfan99]

I was looking on Newegg at the unlocked phones they sell. They have the Motorola Droid that is compatible with AT&T! If I had the money I'd buy it, cause it's a very nice phone!

No, that is why you jailbreak it. With the jb, you can do pretty much anything.

Widgets? I didn't think so.

Jailbreaking is like Rooting's little sister

 

[ChrisUlrich]

What's rooting? Can you root the Fascinate? I decided that's what i'm getting.

I love my Samsung Intercept! Android 2.1 loaded and is comfirmed getting 2.2! Moment will not. I am personally not a fan of the droid. It is way too big for a packet esp with a case.

Neither.. I recommend a HTC Desire. I've never been a fan of Samsung's or Motorola's build quality. And the Droid X was basically made just to keep the Droid buzz going between the release of the Droid and the Droid 2.

I've had some experience with the Samsung Epic...really nice phone, and its 4G if your in a 4G service area, plus you can't beat Sprints prices for smartphone plans.

Rooting pretty much unlocks the root files on your phone, allowing you to install programs that access those files. It also allows you do install various custom or vanilla roms which is on par to installing an OS on a computer. For more information about rooting and the things you can do with the fascinate nothing really beats these forums. And yes, btw it's possible to root it.

I've linked you to the section on your phone.

HTC is the bomb. I love my Legend.

2nd that you cant beat them (prices)

We have 4 lines on a contract with Sprint

Includes:

1500min
Unlim nights & Weekends
Unlim mobile to mobile
Unlim text and web
Free roaming in U.S.

All of that on 4 smartphones for only $150 a month

1 single web plan on at&t or Verizon would be $80+ a month

Build quality isnt as much of factor with Cell phones IF you know how to properly take care of them!
