I am thinking about switching from my iPhone 3GS to the htc vivid. I am worried that this phone is not what I am expecting. I know I have heard a lot of people say that androids are terrible phones but I want to give them a try. Would it be worth it to get the vivid? I really like everything about it, I am just worried it will not perform to the standards I have set for it.

I went from an iPhone4, to the Vivid, and i'm not sorry at all. In my opinion, it's superior to the iPhone in every way.
Can you give me some of the features that it has. I am just really curios about this phone. I want to know a lot before I make the decision of purchasing the phone.
Click on to the "devices" tab, at the top of this page, and it will give you all the info that you require to make your choice. In my case, it's the customizations that you can use, without having to jailbreak or root this phone. It's also much faster than your iPhone. Please check, and you'll see for yourself. Good luck.
Is there a reason your choosing a vivid over a newer phone. Its not a bad phone but art has some better options. What's your budjet and I'd be sure to help you out.

Also, I use my iPhone for music. I know that there are some apps that you can download for free music sent to your phones library. Does anyone know any of these apps?
I use zedge for ringtones and use Pandora or iheartradio for music. There is one, I think its called gtunes. It is called gtunes. Like being able to preview in iTunes but you can download them too. You've gotta search for it because google took it out of the play store.

If your talking about illegal music, we do not condone such behavior here. What you are looking for exists but it would be against rules to give you sugestions.

My budget is $100 but I would like to keep it under that if it is at all possible. Thanks so much for your help!

With apps such as doubletwist, it is now possible to transfer your DRM protected music, in example, Itunes music and go from there, which is play them without restrictions on your phone. You no longer need any other Apple device or an Apple device to enjoy Itunes now, technically.

Stay with your 3gs and wait for the 5, I guarantee you that you will be sorry to go with the vivid
I would hold off on buying. The new phones like the galaxy s3 and one x will probally come down in price or you could just save up some more money.

That's your opinion. I, personally, wouldn't trade my Vivid for anything out there now.

I'll cosign on this, I was a heavy Apple user and came from the iPhone 4 to the Vivid and haven't regretted it at all, that was about 2ish months ago. I always tried different phones and would last less than a couple weeks before wanting to go back to the iPhone. Last year I even tried the Samsung Infuse 4G, which was my first Android phone and it only lasted a month before I returned it. I was really leery about trying Android again, but I knew HTC made quality phones (in my opinion, better quality than more Android phones out there). Decided to give it a try, got a white one since I had a white iPhone 4, and I honestly love it.
Reasons being: I can do everything I did on my iPhone with this Vivid - FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, MLB.tv, Netflix, DropBox, SportsCenter, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, etc .. these are the apps I use the most. Sure, Apple has a larger app selection, but what good is a large app selection when 90% of the apps they offer I'll never download because they're useless to me. I can do everything from the iPhone on my Vivid, the only difference is it looks a lot better on the Vivid's 4.6 inch widescreen versus the iPhone's 3.5 inch retina display. Watching a Red Sox game on MLB.tv looks great, a lot better than it did on my iPhone. On top of that, the added Beats Audio enhancement (though subtle) in my opinion makes the music (through headphones) sound so much better than it did through my iPhone.
What it does that the iPhone couldn't: One word - Widgets. Enough said. There are other things, like better battery life, expandable memory, interchangeable batteries, faster processors, smoother interface and better web browsing - but meh, who's counting?
The Vivid may not be for everyone, but it sure was for me. It turned this Apple Fanboy into an Android fan. After the Infuse I didn't think I'd use Android again, but I'm glad I gave it another try. All of us will have biased opinions, but only you'll know if it is worth the switch for you, and you'll only know if you try it out. Trust me, it's worth the risk.
