Greetings everyone. This is my first post and would like to introduce myself. I'm a guy who's Deaf and speaks in American Sign Language (ASL). I was once a hardcore Sidekick user and was converted to being a hardcore BlackBerry user since 2006. My interests in BlackBerry products are wearing off and I'm getting tired of RIM not keeping up with the technology that most phones -- such as android phone and iPhone -- have to offer nowadays. I'm determined to make the switch when I become eligible for an upgrade via Verizon in September 2010 and my next phone will be an android phone. I can't wait to kiss my BlackBerry Storm 9530 GOODBYE!

As for the features on my next phone, I would prefer the one that comes with a full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, strong and solid vibrations for email, IM and alarm notifications and a high quality built-in-camera for taking pictures and video recording. I'm also interested in top-of-the-line brands.

I'm so looking forward to making the switch and to be part of the android community this coming fall! :)

Another one kicking the crackberry addiction! Welcome!
Now that I think about it, it would be nice to have a sign language app! Would love to learn sign language!

You're not alone... I myself called verizon two days ago actually, and sweet talked the technician, and she pushed my upgrade date up 5 months...lol, pays to be nice. So I am also ditching my 9530 and am waiting for the either Incredible or the N1... hello ANDROID!!!

I just ditched a Storm 2 for a Droid. The Droid should be here shortly and I cant wait. Hopefully their arent as many bugs in a android OS.
