NEW PHONE HELP (OT)

Ok need a new phone, who has a android? What do you like about it, and how long does 2000 gb? last?
I was looking at the ATT version of the EVO.
They said mine got "wet" somehow and I have a slider phone. Any help please

I had an older version of the touch phones but this is what I learned about those androids:

The LCD screen does attract fingerprints
The newer versions require a certain amount of pressure to activate the screens (they don't start doing things on their own anymore)
Downloading the apps is a very easy process
They are expensive

2000 gb? You sure about that? That is a boat load. That is too large, I think, to be the correct amount.

I know it sounds obvious but when buying a phone, I would concentrate on its ability to carry out its intended purpose. I've been an AT&T customer going back to 1996 and lived through all the transitions. I had an iPhone up until 8 months ago. Frankly, for where I lived and traveled, the service sucked. Way too many dropped calls....a worst experience could only compare to the dawn of cellular service. After one too many dropped calls while I was sitting stationary at home, I had enough. I went out immediately and researched the Droid phones from Verizon and came up with the HTC Incredible.

The more I use this phone, the more I like it. Nonetheless, there are downsides compared to the iPhone; namely:

1. Battery life is poor. From a practical point of view, don't imagine going through a day of light to moderate phone/email use and not expect to be tethered to a charger of some sort before the day is out.

2. Apps- iPhone definitely has more apps but the Droid is catching up. It's noticeably improved over the last few months.

In hindsight, I think the iPhone under the Verizon network could be the best of both worlds but I'm a bit committed in the Droid direction to see if this is reality for at least another 1 1/2 years.

I have the HTC Incredible also battery life isn't great but that is my only complaint great phone and got a great deal through verizon.

I think it's 2GB. Here is their estimator:

Thanks for that link Snidely.

I know I'm a "heavy" user, but now I know I am. If I spend the day playing online, I calculated I use 5+ Gb. And that's not including a movie or two, something I do several times per week, plus a couple TV shows.

sheesh. Maybe I should pay for internet access and a much faster connection than my neighbors have. LOL

I have had android phones since they first came out and I will never use anything else...

if you turn your email sync rate down so it only checks for new emails every 20 minutes or something you will use less bandwidth... I have unlimited net so mine is instantly received.

Look into t-mobile, they have plans where if you go over your data, they won't charge you, just slow your connection a bit...

I use my phone constantly but hard to get over 2GB. I even control my desktop computers from my phone...

For a while I used the Nexus 1 and then the Nexus S, but decided I wanted a physical keyboard since I do a lot of business the physical keyboard is helpful on the G2.

HTC is the best android manufacturer... I don't like the samsung phones much...

I have the Incredible as well, since October. With proper killing of apps my battery life is now good. The phone does a great job of making and receiving calls and surfing the internet. As for dropped calls. I have Verizon service and don't have an issues and never have with my other phones I have owned as well. I have heard from my friends about their AT&T service and dropping calls. Some have iphones and some don't.

I have att. I had a Samsung droid and loved it but when I returned to Fl this winter no service ,many dropped or non connecting calls. They gave us a "booster" and still didn't help. Talked us into a windows 7 phone, it does have better phone service quality ( in FL) but I HATE THIS PHONE IT SUCKS. I am heading back to MI and they told me I just have to insert my sim card and my "old droid" will work. I can't wait for that.
