Who has one? Just got an Android Incredible 2. Always been a blackberry guy. Whats the word on this? You like it?
I have a droid incredible (that I have for myself) and it is SO FRICKEN MUCH BETTER than any blackberry (that I have for work) that the two shouldn't be in the same sentence. Well, actually, I should back up on that. If all you want to do is send email, then blackberry is probably the better option. If you want to do anything else that a smart phone can do, then dump that bb like the bitch that it is.
I hear you. I got the droid incredible maybe a year ago and it's ridculously more useful than the storm it replaced as well as the other work bb's I've had. Ugh. I just noticed that you're a Cards fan. Scratch that -- stick with the blackberry. lol
If you already use Google products (gmail, maps, contacts, calendar, picasa, etc, etc) the integration of all of these with Android is what sets it apart, IMO.
Why didn't you wait to see what the new Droid Bionic is going to look like? Why did you pick the Incredible over the Droid X2?
I have a Nexus One. It's a little long in the tooth at this point (I've had it since last February) but I still don't really need anything else from a phone. 2012 might be time to upgrade, but it should be fine until then. Android rocks. Ed O.
RIM is going down the toilet. Still has the best security. But when individuals buy for themselves they don't think about security, and don't care even when you tell them. Apple, Microsoft and Motorola (more so) are adding security features to their phones so corporations are starting to allow their use. Still handles corporate (Exchange) e-mail the best. But, the gap isn't huge like it used to be. For many companies now the e-mail is just good enough on iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7 that they are willing to support it. Blackberry instant message app was a big advantage for them, but with Google Talk and Apple's new app, they have caught up. The keyboards are fantastic, but some users don't care, others love iPhone and Swipe on the touchscreens. Plus, there are several decent Android phones with good enough physical keyboards to choose from now. For most everything else that people want in a new smartphone BlackBerry is way behind. Big touch screens, that support tons of media and have great Web browsers and powerful processors to support that use. Good game play and large app markets. Good cameras. etc. RIM has got to come out with some great phones, and soon, or it may be too late for them to pull out of the spin. And the word from analysts is that their new software - which is looking good - is 2 years away from being great. That is an eternity in phone development. Microsoft is way behind - but they have a better shot than RIM. The software is excellent right now. And Nokia, who makes some of the finest phone hardware in the world, have bet their company on switching from Symbian to Windows Phone. If they can produce a hit phone right off the bat and get their app market rolling, they have a chance build momentum to compete.
Basic people don't have high end smartphones like the Incredible. Did you sign a new 2 year contract to get this phone? If so, and you are allowed to return it, you might consider doing so and getting a 4G capable model, or waiting for a new 4G model, as several are due in the next month or two. Verizon charges the same price for data that is 4G as they do for 3G. They are firing up 4G in a lot of cities this year. So, since you are paying for the 4G whether you use it or not, you might as well get the benefit of it for the next 2 years. Besides being faster, with 4G, you can be on a call and use data at the same time.
iPhone only does voice/data at same time on AT&T. On Verizon, you can't. Verizon set up their 3G to function with the fewest problems. So they didn't allow that feature. It is too sketchy over 3G. AT&T let er rip. And they have a lot more problems with dropped calls.
dunno why i'd use voice and data at the same time. i guess its better than not having it...just not totally sold on it.
Basic people get free phones from wirefly when their previous contract was up. All my needs with a phone are unlimited texting, camera and internet. I saw the Incredible 2 was the best that Verizon had to choose from so that was it. Tired of keyboard, too.
Bluetooth headset, on call with family/bore/boss/etc going on and on and on. Meanwhile, you are surfing / checking e-mail / playing game. Don't knock it until you try it. Tastes good.
