vajerzy Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I bought this yesterday and it's amazing! I had just a basic cell phone for 3 years and been resisting another phone. After getting this- it's simply amazing what it can do with all the apps.....a bit overwhelming. Anyone else have one- and what apps are you using?

Free For All Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I recently got a Blackberry Storm 2. The first generation Storm I had was pretty lame- bad sound, bad controls. I traded it in after a week and got the Storm 2, which is a MUCH better product. I've been curious about the Droid- I'm wondering what it has over the Storm 2. I agree, vaj, these high tech phones are pretty cool! I really don't even need to take my notebook anymore when I travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Congratulations, and welcome to the confusing world of apps. I would suggest that you take it slow in adding apps, because so many sound cool, but once you add them, you never use them. I must admit though, I love these high tech phones. I have a Blackberry Curve 8900, and it does the techie stuff so well, that like FFA, I no longer have to take my laptop with me when I travel.

Brad Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have an Edge through work and it's very handy. You can look at documents on it, although those can be a bit hard to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have the HTC Fuze, which is a pretty amazing device, but now seems a little outdated even though it came out just a year ago. It has Windows Mobile 6.1, which, unfortunately, is slow and buggy. I intend to try an Android next. I couldn't imagine not having one of these little minicomputers (the phone part seems almost an afterthought) with me everywhere now. It's great being able to email and check anything on the internet wherever I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I held out for a long time, but I caved. My wife has a Storm and she loves it- I slowly warmed up to having a lot of features on the phone. We want to lose the landline and use google voice so this is the first step. The apps are overwhelming- I downloaded Pandora, Google night sky, USA Today and a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I got rid of my land line about three years ago and haven't missed it one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I got rid of my land line about three years ago and haven't missed it one bit. It's a major leap for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was a little apprehensive at first, but once I did it I haven't had any regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) The only reason I can see for having a landline anymore might be for a home security system to be able to dial out in the event of an emergency. I don't see a need for one otherwise, at least in my case. Edited November 22, 2009 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'd dump my landline but my office is in the basement and reception is worse than spotty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 My reception is not good as well- I'm going to buy one of the signal enhancers which plug into the DSL which gives me a lot better signal strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I will buy the droid, i-phone or storm 2 soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Garrett Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I may very well have chugged an entire pitcher of the Kool-Aid, but after replacing my 9-year-old Nokia with an iPhone 3GS several months ago, I am convinced that the iPhone is probably the most significant development in personal technology since the PC and the Internet both entered the mainstream. There are the obvious limitations that go with a pocket-sized screen, but the tradeoff is that it is a truly portable computer. No doubt other phones/mobile OSes will catch up eventually, but right now the iPhone is at the top of the heap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 My brother has the iPhone- it's awesome- but I'm locked in with Verizon for the foreseeable future. I used the turn-by-turn navigation today and it worked great. And I actually made some phone calls with it as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
