Samsung Continuum was my first Android phone...yep. :'(
That almost pushed me to the iPhone, but I talked the VZW rep into
letting my wife and I swap* the Continuum for Samsung Fascinates without paying any fees or changing our contract dates, etc. I actually really like the Fascinate, and it is the phone that got me into rooting/romming, it was so easy. We still have one of them, it's running ICS, and there are JB ROMS for that phone that apparently run pretty well. Pretty cool device, I'd say, despite it's horrible radios.
Next was the Samsung Droid Charge, I got it on eBay for like $100, bc I wanted a 4G phone on the VZW 4G/LTE here in
Bodymore Baltimore. Not bad, screen was nice, just not a fan of the hardware. Got me hooked on 4G/LTE though, not sure I can give it up.
Which brought me to the Gnex. Got one on eBay back in May for around $250, got one for my wife as well a couple months later. Still love it, especially running a JB ROM. Picked up the N7 as well, after falling in love with Nexus devices.
Bought the N4 yesterday, cause I've been wanting to leave VZW at the end of our contract in about 2 weeks.
Not sure what happens next...
*soft toss for NJAP, or whoever gets to it first.
Edit: sorry, didn't get my post in quick enough for the changing chatter tide. Carry on.
