Best Phone I've Ever Used

Yesterday Anonymous

10 out of 10

 OK... So apparently some people (people that gave ratings of 1) lack the intelligence to properly understand and operate this device.  I'm thinking that some of them don't even own a Droid... scared iPhone fanboys?



Anyway, back to the phone. 



As the title says, this is the best phone I've ever used.  It has great call quality.  It handles multi-tasking well.   I am able to connect to the SSH server setup at home and tunnel an RDP connection through it.  It handles this flawlessly.



Images on the display are crisp and clear.  This phone does everything I want it to.   Except for some reason, Google Wave says that its browser isn't supported... at least not yet.



One other great thing is the voice search.  After telling the phone what you want it will find local matches for your search and you give you the options of calling, navigating to, or showing the location on the google maps.



The camera did initially have issues focusing, however it seems to have corrected itself for now.  Both the picture and video quality are very good.



Although the phone setup isn't as straight forward as say the iPhone, it didn't take very long to get use to the UI and be able to easily find what you're looking for.



The thing that most people complain about is the keyboard.  It definitely takes some getting use to, but after using it for nearly two weeks it has become increasingly easy to tell where your fingers are and the number of unintentional key presses has gone down quite a bit.



Oh, the browser is awesome.  I'm able to view full web pages and easily.  It renders the pages quickly and accurately.  The scrolling is also very quick.



The phone is very responsive.  Only seen lag a couple of times....even that only lasted maybe a second.



The OS does have it's imperfections.  I have gotten a force close a few times.  This isn't really a big deal since I can open the app again in seconds.



Google will also be releasing an update for this phone either toward the end of this year or the beginning of 2010.   Google seems to be very quick about getting patches and fixes out.  Which is reassuring, and since this is a "Google Experience" phone (meaning it doesn't have tons of extra software) there isn't anything for the manufacturers to have to change/redesign.  This in turn means that the updates will be pushed out to this phone much quicker than others.  For example: The Hero and others are having to wait for Android 2.0 because HTC is having to redesign the Sense UI to be compatible with the newer OS.



I could go on for a while but I'll stop here.  This phone is a great phone, full of features and the ability to do nearly anything.  



I highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for an upgrade.

Pros

Large, Vibrant, and Clear Display
Hardware Keyboard
Call Quality
Loud speaker is very loud
Google Maps Navigation (with street view!!!)
Very Nice Browser (Full flash support coming in 2010)

Cons

No native pinch to zoom (it is supported in some applications and on the European version...so maybe some day)

9.7 out of 10

1st PROBLEM is that the phone is TOO GLITCHY because it's new, so it will take about a year to fix all problems I think.

2nd PROBLEM is that the phone DOESN'T SUPPORT TETHERING

3rd PROBLEM that the Copy & Past DOES NOT WORK as it suppose to work (ex. in EMAIL you CAN NOT COPY YOUR PASSWORD AND PAST INTO THE WEB SITE OR ICQ Messenger)

4th PROBLEM is that the phone doesn't have ZOOM feature into E-MAIL, SO YOU CAN NOT SEE YOUR E-MAIL AS FIT TO PAGE FORMAT

5th PROBLEM - YOU CANNOT SYNC THIS PHONE WITH APPLE Computers

6th PROBLEM - THE PHONE DOESN'T HAVE WORLD Capability, SO YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUTSIDE THE US

7th PROBLEM - THE BACK COVER is ALWAYS FELL OUT (VERY ANNOYING)

8th PROBLEM - BiG Auto-focus problem (but sometimes)

9th PROBLEM - Phone provider does not accept international SMS??!!!

10th PROBLEM - BATTERY LIFE - NOT EVEN A DAY!??!

11th PROBLEM -  NO MULTI TOUCH SUPPORT

12TH PROBLEM - very simple and basic MUSIC/VIDEO/PHOTO interface 

13TH PROBLEM - STILL NO ADOBE FLASH SUPPORT







oh god i hate people let me demolish you on all of these ridiculous points you brought up.

1. the phone is not glitchy at all. i never had one hang up or major bug yet with my blackberry every hour reset.

2. THE PHONE WILL SUPPORT TETHERING YOU IDIOT

3. The phone does properly copy and paste you just paste into the passsword box, it is security reasoning,

4. yeah um you double tap to zoom unless your using the built in email then you can just get some glasses retard,

5. Yeah actually that is false you CAN sync with apple computers idiot.

6.Who cares not that many people are going to want to pay that much for it it is almost easier to get a prepaid phone over there.

7. Mine has never fallen out so your probably might be the biggest idiot ever.

8. motorola and google listened and fixed the auto focus

9. yeah who even cares about that? and actually i can get texts from people in mexico so yup wrong again sorta.

10. yeah battery might be the only thing true in here but just turn the backlight down? and close apps your idiot.

11. there is multitouch wow you need to research its built into the OS just doesnt have any part of it that uses it other than a few apps like Pic Say

12. why does this even matter the overall quality of the phone and everything just makes everyone over look that and the sound quality is so amazing that i dont care.

13. yeah research again buddy there is flash coming sometime in the start of 2010.

Pros

Screen
keyboard options
camera (sometimes iffy but)
light by the charger port just shows the detail in this phone
thin
the all black with goldish accents
apps are good getting to be better
WEB BROWSER IS AWESOME

Cons

keyboard is a little hard to use but youll get use to it trust me
volume button on side is loose it doesnt fit with the rest of the phone build quality.
vibrates a little to loud sometimes
