As an Android user from day 1, I love my trusty G1. I use it to log my location in realtime, log the accelerometer data from when I go on thrill rides, I use it to navigate to places that I can't find, and have hacked it all to pieces with CM6, a 2600 mAh Seido battery, my life-saving InvisibleShield, my 16 GB Class 6 MicroSDHC with apps2sd partitions.
All this to say, my G1 as much as I love it is getting old. It can't run Google Navigate very well at all, and you can forget about multitasking while logging anything at all almost. I use my phone hard, and I'm reaching the limits of what my G1 can do. I'd love to get another phone, but the Epic is the only one that fits the bill of having a 5-row keyboard & front-facing camera! Unfortunately, I can't afford a new phone right now, so a switch to Sprint is out of the question. That is, unless I can get the phone for free! In-fact, Sprint minutes & data are a shade cheaper than my current T-Mobile plan, it's really the upfront cost that's preventing me from being able to switch carriers.
This prize would be wonderful in giving me an opportunity to move up a notch. As you can tell from my post count, I did register just to try to win, but I found out because I've been following your RSS feed in Google Reader and really enjoy the news you bring. AndroidCentral really is in the top tier of Android news outlets, and as an Android junky, I appreciate that! I might be a lurker, but I'm also an advocate!
