Hey guys! I'm a Blackberry Tour and I would like to hop on this Android bandwagon. .. but! I have one problem... Droid or N1.... I know this question has been answered a lot but I just need general questions to be answered. Not something complex or anything. I've read the whole forums to try to learn my best bout both the Droid and N1.
What type of user am I?--- Social Bug, always SMS'ing, AIM/Live Messenger, everything! Always on the web, viewing news, gadgets, forums everything. I treat my smartphone as my mini-mini-mini laptop! Tethers my phone to my Macbook occasionally. Apps? Somewhat, but wants the phone not to lag too much by multi-tasking with just a few applications. (IE: SMSing, Aim, Internet Browser) If I can get those three going all at once with no lag. Then I'm good to go.
Other minor questions:
----How bad is the physical keyboard on the droid? I had the LG Versa before and even though the keyboard was quite flat but more spaced. It was hard to use as first but at the end, I consider it to be my favorite keyboard of any phone. (out of BB Curve, Samsung Rogue, and BB Tour).. So I'm thinking I would get used to typing on the Droid and maybeee one day type without looking at the keyboard as I did with my Versa.
----Would you say the onscreen keyboard for both N1 and Droid are similar in speed and function?
----I like the AMOLED screen for the N1 because I have a zuneHD and know how awesome it is. But is the Droid not that far off from the N1 in screen brightness and contrast?
----I like a solid phone and I'm guessing the Droid wins that round. But I love to keep my phone looking like I JUST bought it.... all the time. Would it be easy to replace the housing for the Droid? Has anyone tried it? Are there good cases for the phone that is slim but will not fall of if we drop the phone? Something like Epik Case, hard rubber case.
----Speed. I heard the Droid was really fast from all the reviews and I've played with it in store a couple of times. But I was wondering if it's still fast under real world conditions. Installing apps, running multiple programs, browsing, etc... is the phone flawless as people say? Or would the N1 outpace this baby like nothing?
----Let's say you had the choice to pick right now which phone to get. Even if you have a droid already. Which would it be?
Haha, Thanks for bearing through my long post! ANY help would be appreciated!!!
edit: Added few more questions.
