Which should I get? I have an allowance from my job to upgrade my phone and plan...I'm a Mac person so I'm leaning Iphone, but the Droid is cheaper and seems to offer similar features. What are some opinions? I mainly want it for accessing the internet and my email while I'm out and about, etc

It comes down to the keyboard for me. I don't know if I can own a phone where the touchscreen is the ONLY option. I'm sure I'd get used to it and may even like it more, but having a keyboard is sort of a crutch for me.

And I use a BlackBerry but recognize they're losing a lot of ground to Android phones and the iPhone

I would choose the iPhone. I'm getting one soon. I have personally had bad experiences with both Droid phones I have had. The operating system has always been prone to error on my phones. Half the screen disappears, text messaging threads freeze up, touch screen doesn't function, and a lot of delays.

Now, I seem to be the only person that has really had consistent problems like these that I know of. I'm just worn out on Droid.

I'm switching soon from an iphone to a droid mostly because I want to write apps for it and you have to have a mac to code for an iphone(I also don't want to learn a new programming language to do it).

Overall, comparing my phone to my co-workers droid, his is much faster and better in almost everyway.

I'm old fashioned .. I just bought this earlier today to replace my Altell LG Scoop thats screen was dead from years of use.

Samsung-Intensity-2-cell-phone-Verizon.jpg

Called the Intensity 2 .. got it for 85 bucks with a 50 dollar rebate I can mail in

Camera , Video camera , Slide out keyboard with Relatively Big keys not like the pooty blackberry , No touch whatsoever .. can convert any sound to a ringtone .. That's enough for me.

I went from Blackberry to a Droid X and initially had the same reservations about an on screen keyboard but the screen is big enough on this phone that it's not an issue.

If you do go iPhone definitely stay away from AT&T and go Verizon.

There are some seriously cool droid phones coming out and if you live in a 4G area it is worth it to get a 4G phone.

Funny enough, I was having this same conversation with a friend today. So I got home and checked my Verizon account and turns out I'm eligible for an upgrade. Do you use Swype to type on your Droid X? What phones should I keep an eye out for?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
