New to Android

[daveb74]

So I just got this phone too. Coming from an iPhone 3g.........I'm not impressed. It is a beautiful phone and the display is great but the on screen keyboard is horrible and to me the whole operating system seems thrown together. I really want to like it because of the customization abilities that you can't get on the iPhone.....any suggestions?

Hi, daveb74.
Welcome.
I don't necessary suggest rooting your new device, but in your case this seems like a good choice for you. Im using a HTC EVO phone and I love everything about it. You'll be able to customize the phone to how you want it.

Search the forums on how to root your device.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Good luck.

Unfortunatly, Sony hasn't had the best support for Android.

I'd suggesting rooting and installing Android 2.2. Why debrand if you can do more than that?

As for keyboard typing, I've never had a problem since I bought Swift Key Keyboard. It learns your typing style by "reading" your SMS' and emails and therefore comes up with an excellent prediction system!
