Have had my Droid (Samsung Galaxy S) for half a year now and still madly in love with it. No issues what so ever!

Ditto with my Motorola Droid (original).

Might consider taking it in, or trying a different charger. The connection might be bad.

It's been almost a month and I am still loving my iPhone. LOTS.
I'm definitely glad I didn't get a Droid based on side by side comparison/trying to use mom's Droid X.
It was a lot easier to use a system I was familiar with than to have to learn a new one.

My phone charges SUPER fast! I'd take it in.

Could someone please explain what this Droid Gingerbread program and and if/how should I upload it! The Droid Forums is too confusing because it sounds like people know what they are asking about, lol.

Drolefille · #99 04-03-2011, 12:38 AM

Gingerbread is just Android (not Droid) 2.3.3. Your phone will auto update to it, most likely and it's not something you need to worry about getting a pre-release or anything.

If your phone can't handle the update it shouldn't download it. I don't know when it's being released.

(That whole Android/Droid thing is getting trickier. It's just too easy to reduce to "droid" but gets confusing quickly.)

Thanks. Supposedly you have to be willing to pay$12 to get an answer from a IT person on their chatpage.

That's the sort of question it's not worth asking, although generally I go with 'if it's that complicated a question I probably don't need X anyway.' Their IT people are more for actual tech support, but I have no idea about cost since I haven't used them or looked into it.

Bought a Dummy book; let's hope it helps.

Bumping for new opinions. I can upgrade on Monday and I think it's time for me to say BUHBYE to Blackberry.

So, Iphone 4 or Android? (yeah, I know Iphone 5 is supposed to come out this fall, but my phone has been acting up and I'm too damn impatient)

For anyone who has an iphone, how does the internet work? I see on Verizon's website that it is wifi capable and 3g hotspot capable. Does this mean I can only get the internet in certain places? No mobile web like Blackberry?

Also, can anyone enlighten me on their typical data usage? I have unlimited currently with Verizon, but that plan no longer exists for renewal. Everyone seems to say 2 gb is plenty, but I have nooooo clue how much I'll use once I have a fancypants new phone. Right now it's not even close to that amount.

I have no clue about phones (obviously), so any help is appreciated.

The 3g hotspot thing just means that (for extra $$) you can turn your phone into its own wireless router so you could connect a friend/iPod touch/laptop as long as you don't mind 3G speeds. Mostly I've found it to be pretty useless when I had the feature, but some people like it.

Check with the people at the store. Last I was in they swore you'd get notified if you were close to your cap and then could adjust your plan. I bought unlimited so I dunno.

Also, Android do or die unless you're a big Apple fan (but since you had a BB you're probably not

)

As for my usage I download quite a bit, but don't tend to stream music and use wifi as much as possible and despite my unlimited data (rather keep it than ditch it in case netflix comes through!) I have used .366 GB in 13/31 days.

My two teenagers and I, together, use around 2GB a month with our smartphones. My daughter is, far and away, the highest user at around 800 MB. She uses Pandora, Facebook, surfs a lot, etc.

I'm looking at the Droid 3 when it's time for upgrades for us. The whole "touch screen only" with the iPhone is the main thing keeping me from going that route, still.
