Got Verizon. Want to get the unlimited data before July 7th or whatever. I want something legit - had my last phone for 3+ years and have waited long enough. Looking at IPhone or Droid. I have an IPod Touch and figure it'll be pretty similar, so I was thinking of going with a Droid. What's the best/newest one? Thanks for any help!

don't get a Windows phone. I wish I got a Droid, guy I work with has a Droid, Samsung something or other. Bad ass apps, kind of techy but very slick.
Fuck Apple

i refuse to upgrade. dumb phone ftw.

I just picked up an HTC Thunderbolt and love it. I think it's the best option out of all the 4G Android phones on Verizon right now.

I love my android phone, but I love my iPad so much I just bought an iPad 2. Personally, I need a physical keyboard on a phone. Droid has a huge leg up on a lot of things over the iPhone for phone since there are home screens instead of just a collection of apps.

Out of the phones on Verizon, the Driod 2 global is the one that i would go with since it has a physical kb. Forgetting that, the Samsungs have the best looking screens, but the galaxy s 2 isn't out until after the 7th. Really I use my phone a hell of a lot and I use under 2gb per month. Usually around 1.1gb.

I'm a data junkie. I used over 3gb last month. I watch a lot of Netflix and hbogo on my phone.

I was comparing the Samsung Charge to the HTC Thunderbolt before buying. People were RAVING about how great the screen was compared to the Thunderbolt so much so that I assumed the TB's screen was garbage. I checked myself and it seems fine. I've had the phone for a few weeks now and the screen is flat out awesome. I don't know wtf everybody was talking about.

At any rate, I liked HTC's UI software way more than Samsung's. Personal preference, really, but it's a huge part of any Android phone. I'd look at some YouTube reviews of phones you're interested in (and maybe even look for side-to-side comparison reviews of a couple phones you're curious about) and then play with them in the stores before buying.

Also, fuck Motorola. I had a Droid X before. I almost didn't buy another android phone when shopping recently. I basically found out that every annoyance and gripe I had with my Android phone was all due to Motorola's motoblur GUI. HTC's Sense is waaaaaay fucking better. This phone is so much more useable than the Droid.

I like my Crackberry. It's shitty and boring and matches my misery.

i'll stick with my Fartphone.

that's interesting because I have an original Droid and love it

the Samsung super amoled screen is just the best out there now. HTC Sene UI is so much better than sansung's touchwiz because it's a whole package. I hated sense UI cause on win6.x it was terrible. But I bought a $1.99 app called Beautiful Widget and it does all the weather stuff. Plus agenda app does the calendar. So basically, I added 2 widgets to my sammy phone and got sense ui.

Things I can remember that pissed me off about Motorola:
- on screen keyboard constantly not allowing me to type
- calendar app = junk
- handling of Exchange mail = junk
- double audible notifications for messages / mail
- slowness / temporary freezing of widgets after unlocking phone (unrelated to Android "5 second rule")

Sense also just does a lot of things I didn't MIND about Motoblur better.

Maybe these were just issues motoblur had on Droid x, but they were all existent even after wiping the phone.
