Droid is a child’s toy… Blackberry is for grownups… iPhone is for losers trying to look cool…

I tried the samsung moment and hated it like a passion. I went back my trusty blackberry. Actually upgraded from 8530 to 8330. (has wi-fi). Touch screens suck... for me...

great phones. love them both. i actually like everything about the droid the best but i don't like the feel. I know that's a silly reason not to like the phone, usually for people it's the processor and all the inside junk, but for me the droid is just too big and clunky, and uhh kinda ugly? I don't know. but besides that i like both of them. I rate storm2 7 out of 10, and droid 8 out of 10. i got them both at gsmauthority.com and i love them. wife loves the BB more but that's a given ;)

I have the Storm 2 and wish I would have kept my old POS generic phone. As a phone, the Storm sounds crappy, is difficult to use- simply answering a call is difficult, and dialing can be downright maddening- and is generally frustrating. As a "smart" device, it has glitches galore. It is extremely sensitive to shock, but not to intentional user input, email synching is unreliable at best, the usefulness of apps do not justify the cost, the G3 connectivity is horrid, it is still difficult to type on... I could go on forever. Suffice to say, wish I bought the droid.

Donut–Agreed on demographics, won’t dispute their validity in making a decision. However–their value depends on what you’re evaluating. Age–relevant. Occupation/industry–relevant. Race–not so much. Simply stating “I’m a 31 year old male business analyst for one of the largest investment firms…” would have been sufficient. Why would race be an important factor? Does the functionality differ from black analysts to white analysts?

I’m truly not trying to work you up or start a fight, you obviously do what you do because you’re intelligent and talented enough to work as a sys. analyst. I just get torqued when I see race pop up where it really has no relevance. Black, white, purple, whatever–people are people, brains are all grey. A statement like sends a message that you wall yourself off (even if it wasn’t your intent). All I’m saying is be careful where you insert race, you’ll wind up inadvertantly sending the wrong message…and possibly throw up some red flags.

This isn’t the venue for this, so I’m done…good luck to you.

@BetterOnTwo — It’s called demographics not an attempt of self praise or “feelin’ myself”. To help gain perspective when making a purchase it’s a more helpful to know the demographics of persons giving a review then to just rely on opinion of facts that are important to the particular reviewer.
Oh, and this week i’m a system analyst and not a business analyst.

From duhdonutman--"I’m a 31 year old black male Business Analyst for one of the largest investment firms (we probably manage your 401K)."

Just curious--how the hell is any of that relevant? Don't want to burst your bubble...you're not the only black business analyst in the world. But hey--at least when you pull a muscle patting yourself on the back you'll have a good phone for calling the doctor.

Sorry, don't mean to drag things off topic...but that one just really, really twisted me up.

Just purchased the BB Storm II running on Verizon. I it awesome, I previously had a BlackJack II on AT&t. I could not stand the dropped calls from my house all of the time.. The Storm performs great, I downloaded a bunch of free apps, and I got it for a great price at Wal-mart.. The Droid looked dorky and felt flimsy.. Get a real smart phone get a BlackBerry. If you want a toy, then get a Droid.

I would like to know what will be released in the next 6-8 months from all of the carriers. At&t is horrible in my location and we are very pleased with Verizon. However, I have gone threw 3 Storms in the past 6 months because they all have malfunctioned. Suggestions?

All android phones do have “work email” to sync with Microsoft exchange servers for push email. While this option unfortunately does not sync contacts and outlook calendar, there is the paid version of “touchdown”, which does everything. Syncs your exchange contacts, calendars, tasks etc etc..(and it uses activesync and is compatible with exchange 2003 and 2007). Overall, with a google based phone, you are surrendering your location, but then it is not as if all of us are into clandestine activities. Plus, there is always the option of not sharing your location with google.
