I went with an HTC Thunderbolt, and am quite happy.
As I see it.

this is my first time seeing this thread so i gotta ask; why do people hate on the blackberry so hard? ive had the bold for like 7 months now and i will probably be faithful to blackberry for the rest of my life just because how simple everything is to use. maybe its because i like business phones too and droids remind me of a handheld game system but has phone capabilities added on to it.
We don’t have all the fancy games, and our touch screen phones are weak. Our apps are also weak sauce compared to the Iphone and other Android devices. The default browser is crap. However the BB is so simple and efficient. I’m like you I love the BB, and probably will use BB for a very long time unless they completely drop the ball.
Well for a few years now I have been usin’ Boost Mobile. Its cheap, but now I’m tired of da ridiculously slow service (especially on text messages!) I just bought a BlackBerry phone on EBay & am switchin’ to Verizon. I have used da same number for a few years & heard it might be possible to transfer da number to Verizon instead of getting a whole new phone number. Is this true?

havent posted in this thread in a min gettin ready to get a Windows Phone 7 on verizon its lookin promising its just as smooth as the iphone should be coming out in a week or 2
I’m really enjoy my W7 phone. I would enjoy it even more if I was in the US and had access to the US Marketplace (Canada gets about 30% of the total Apps marketplace and no access to music section).
Yeah, htc makes great phones. I got the incredible almost a year ago, and I still love it. I just didn’t care for htc sense. So I rooted my phone and went with cyanogenmod. That said android is a great OS, and I have had no problems besides some buggy roms.
For anyone on AT&T who loves Android, the Samsung Galaxy SII is on sale now for $750 from a bunch of online retailers. I was able to get the phone for $725 from expansys-usa with a coupon+3% cash back from ebates, making the phone come out to a hair less then $700 when all is said and done. The initial price is steep however you only have to pay $10 for UNLIMITED data($15 if you don’t have unlimited texting)+the phone will get updates faster then the inevitable AT&T version+you’ll have the best Android phone on the market before anyone else.

so i’m leaving at&t and going to verizon. should i go with an iphone4, droid x or droid x 2? i have a currently have a iphone 3g. i’ve been doing the jailbreak thing for as long as i’ve have a iphone which is about 3-4 years now. how’s the android OS? is there anything like the jailbreak scene for droids?
i know there’s a lot of black people on SRK, what’s the best pre paid plan?
i don’t use my phone anymore except to text and i can make a wifi network with my tablet and achieve same results, so i just want a cheap pre-paid plan just in case an emergency happens and i can’t skype with my tablet or ipod
I wouldn’t get any of those honestly. If you’re going with Verizon you might want to consider the thunderbolt (if you’re in a metro area of near one with 4g) and waiting for cyanogen to be released for it. Slap an extended battery on it so it won’t die in 4 hours (I got a batter for my original evo 4gt and it lasted for over 48 hours+ although it added bulk) and you’ll have the Verizon EVO 4G! (oops did I say that?)
iPhone 4 is good for the easiest user interface. I currently use it as my work phone with no qualms, but it’s not all that amazing either. You could wait out for the rumored iPhone 5 (or iPhone 4GS or whatever it’s going to be) within the next coming months.
If android is your fancy you can do a whole lot more of course than vs. the iPhone as far as tweaks (at least technical ones).
There is no reason to buy an iphone4 now as the iphone5 is just around the corner. IMHO, and for most, the best google phones are better than the iphone. You’ll want to look into rooting your phone though.
we’re supposed to be getting 4g coverage june 16th. thunderbolt sounds nice. does the battery really die out that fast?
rooting?
Basically it’s the same thing as jailbreaking, you can full access to your phone and what you want to do with it/edit it up. (A root account is basically an admin account/access in the linux world) Only you can put an entirely different homebrew android OS on your device as well as various small tweaks. For example cyanogen like I mentioned before
enjoy
I still haven’t rooted my Droid 2. I don’t know how e-lame that makes me. All I know is I have bad luck with expensive phones just crapping out, and I don’t want to risk losing my warranty, even though certain rooted features make it tempting to do so.
I may root it when I move to Korea (if they can activate phones that are compatible with their networks yet don’t have SIM cards), but that’s if I keep the phone.
Oh man the Desire Z is so awesome.
Fuck AT&T.
I have an iPhone 4 (jailbroken, tether often with MyWi, grandfathered into unlimited data plan).
This all started a month or so ago, a random text from AT&T came in that basically said “Did you know that to tether you need a tethering plan? Please contact AT&T for more info on such plans”. I didn’t think anything of it and moved on.
Now come today, I get a text saying that I’m being switched to a 4 GB Tethering plan and to call if I have any questions. So I called and turns out that earlier text message from last month was supposedly a warning told me to stop tethering or I’d have my plans switched. Definitely not the case, pulled up the text message and read it to the customer service rep. Also checked my emails for last month (they said that they sent an email warning too), nothing along those lines.
So after some arguing the only thing I could settle on was keeping the Unlimited Data plan if I stopped tethering.
At the end of my contract I’m switching to Verizon, only reason I kept AT&T was for Unlimited Data tethering.
