mutinyzine Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Which one would you guys recommend? A friend's got a Samsung i9000 Galaxy S. Would that be a good choice? And is android the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicole Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 i have no experience with android, so i cant really judge that but i've had both iphones and blackberrys- currently have a blackberry curve 8520 and love it. pretty sure its free at this point too.

Guest Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 i love my blackberry. my only issue with it is internet browsing, which is better on iphone and android. but really, blackberry has the best OS. its simple, it makes sense, its not overly animated, and it doesnt rely on thousands and thousands of useless apps.

chaz725 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 HTC Thunderbolt or iPhone 4. If you wait a few weeks VZW is launching HTC Incredible 2, Samsung Charge which is 4G. Both will be amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have a Samsung Galaxy S. Great phone. Few hiccups with apps when I got the update but nothing too big. Uninstall and reinstall fixed most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 honestly, i love my iphone 4, but my grandmother covers the bill so i never see it. i've heard if i payed my own bill i wouldn't love it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 bbm really is the best feature on blackberry. 95% because of group chats. its baffling that chat rooms arent a standard feature on all smart phones at this point... and it will be amazing once chat rooms are available across different networks.

user456 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 My Blackberry passed away a while ago :(but I suggest Blackberry if you are into e-mail etc. It's a great work phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 android 4 life haha....what service provider do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyzine Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 BlackBerry isn't at all as big in Sweden as in the US. I don'ät know anyone who uses it over here. I think I'll be going with that Samsung after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankmurphy Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I got a Motorola Atrix about 2 months ago. Its my first smartphone, and I love it. I have NES, SNES, GBA, and N64 emulators, a sweet animated Cave Story background, Legend of Zelda ringtones. I use Google Translate all the time , there are lots of great jazz stations on TuneIn, and Google Sky is one of the coolest apps ever! The camera is ok, but it shoots great HD video and I took some sweet contraband footage of a thermite reaction at work. iPhone and Blackberry are cool too I guess.

hankmurphy Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 And also it has an alarm clock that plays Night Birds until I can solve a math problem and go back to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 speaking of alarm clocks... the blackberrys default alarm is perfect. its just annoying enough to get your ass up- but not bad enough to make you change the sound. 4 of my friends and i havent bothered changing it, because its literally the perfect alarm.

themullet89 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I love my blackberry. I don't even mind the internet browser on it. Had it for about a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 it really boils down to personal preference. blackberry is good for heavy text usage on phones, composing emails and the like, particularly for people who like tangible keys. i had one, but didn't care for it. i got a droid 1 almost a year ago, and it is the best phone i've ever had. it's as simple or as customizable are you want it to be. i rooted mine and enjoy flashing new roms... it kind of makes my phone feel unique, like no one else has theirs set up exactly like mine. plus the android community is a pretty tightly knit group of developers, testers, and nerds that are pretty good at making things understandable to the layperson. i would wait until the droid bionic comes out. that is going to be a monster of a phone. i think they speculate a may/june release. the only other contender, i think, would be an iphone 5, when (if) that drops, and only if the new iOS allows widgets and an android-level feel of user customizability. sorry that was long, but i hope it helped!

kgry Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 it really boils down to personal preference. Well this and what carrier you're on. They all have different phones. And if you're talking about Android, they all have different flavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 go android. i love the htc interface. that is all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harby Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I can't believe there are that many recommendations for Blackberry/RIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've had the bigger ones. iPhone = perfect sync with no technology knowledge needed Blackberry = Bland and sucks. OS is garbage and sync is a pain in the ass for everything other than email. Android = Awesome and syncs perfectly. Fun for electronic tweakers and "1337 h4x0r5."

mutinyzine Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've been thinking about this and I might hold off for another couple of month. I'm gonna spend my money on vinyl for a few more months first. Thanks for all the advice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the advice though. good call. there will be some really big contenders coming about in the beginning of summer i think. you'll be able to pick from the litter of the big ones. i'm in a similar boat, and i think my choice is between the Droid Bionic and the iPhone 5 (given it releases soon).

mcm1610 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Droid X, my first smartphone, and I love it. No complaints except maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks it decides to be painfully slow until I restart it. Maybe I should turn it off once in a while.
