Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I am officially a Android guy now....Just upgraded my Iphone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy S II for the low price of 9.99(with a 2 year agreement). Love the phone, but just getting used to the new UI and the way that Android works. Without searching this entire thread, would someone please do me a favor and give me a top 5 of apps that I must get for my phone.

I just picked up 2 of these for me and my wife and it's an impressive phone. We love it.

Love SwiftKey X and got it for free on the Amazon App store. Highly recommended checking their store out as they have good and pricey apps free daily.

Where did you get it for $10??
I'm thinking about getting it but I might wait for the S III.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Hey guys, I was pretty set on an iPhone but I am having second thoughts now. The fact the 4S isn't 4g and the screen size are nagging me. I am also worried about the iPhone 5 coming out in a few months and being screwed.

With that said, if I stick with Android (Have the Droid X now) can someone give me the 2 or 3 best phone choices that are out now? I have Verizon by the way.

I played around with the Droid Razr the other day and not sure if I like it. It reminds me too much of my X.

Thanks for any help guys.

I have my Galaxy Nexus and love it. I haven't rooted yet, which is amazing for me.

No problems whatsoever, and being built for ICS is just icing on the cake.

if you're not into Motorola, I'd go Galaxy Nexus or HTC Rezound. Best phones on verizon right now.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

GN on Verizon is the best choice, hands down right now.

Of course that can change in a few months but that's pretty much electronics in general.

Att online. Remember though, it is a refurb, but when I got mine it was in perfect condition and I have had no problems whatsoever.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Ended up getting the Galaxy Nexus today. Great phone except I am not getting a 4G signal and not even getting any bars on 3G. I'm not sure what the hell is going on.

I should add that my house is in a strong 4G area.

If I were you i'd stick it out with the Droid X and wait for the next iPhone and the new Android offerings ths spring/summer. No need to get a new dual core phone when Quad core phones will be out later this year. Damn shame that dual-core will only have been the standard for one year. I got my Galaxy S2 off contract in December. I had plan to go iPhone and was disappointed when the 4S was announced. I still have my upgrade so I'm waiting for the next iphone and android offerings this summer to see where i'll go. I will say i'm starting to get frustrated with Android the same as I did with Blackberry. As soon as you think you have the latest/greatest, just wait a month and that'll change lol.

Edit: I see you got the Nexus. Good choice.

I hear what you are saying, but there is always gonna be a bigger better phone. I guess you just have to pick one and stick with it.

As an addendum to my last post, I removed the sim card and put it back in and now I am getting some 4G inside and getting some strong 4G outside. So I guess I can live with that since I absolutely love the phone.

My buddy who works with Sprint said its normal for a phone to go in and out of 4G at this point.

The only thing that I find strange is that when its in 3G its not getting any bars. My X consistently got 3 bars in my house. Weird.
