I wish there was a support group for ex-BB users and those on the fence trying to beat the addiction.
I'm torturously waiting for the next gen Droid, every day I have to talk myself out of just going down and buying the Incredible like some crack fiend! I really like the size and design of the Droid. I would like a full size keyboard again. The keyboard on the Droid SUCKS! I only tried it for a day but the keys are really small and hard for a guy like me with large hands to type on. The SureType setup on my Storm 2 works really well for me.
Here are my concerns about switching. If someone can produce an answer to these please do so.
1. Outlook.. I HAVE TO have the ability to sync Tasks, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts. Directly and daily. I DO NOT want to risk my data on some cloud based system. i.e. I don?t really want to rely on Google sync. Laptop or PC to Mobile device via hardware cable. Another reason for this is I don?t always have a signal when I need to back up my data.
2. Browser we are currently using a pair of Storm 2's and the browser sucks. No flash, glitchy as hell, just crap. I tried the non-proprietary apps offered for blackberry devices and they suck too. I am just tired of it, my XV6700 was almost better.
3. Device radio strength. First and for most I need a phone that works. My Storm 2 has never dropped a call due to hardware issues. How are the new devices working? I will keep my storm 2 for international travel. The multiband radio was convenient as I never know from month to month where I might be.
4. It sounds as though android devices have email and mms/sms delivery issues. Is this something that can be worked around through settings? Apps? Or are these issues user errors?
5. I don?t want another touch screen that randomly does what it wants including calling people when it is in my pocket. My XV6700 and Treo were Terrible at this.
Well not sure if this is the right forum to ask these questions but you all seem to be in the right stage of the transition to answer them. Thanks
