Anyone have a Google phone?

Which one? do you like it?  I am eyeing the Samsung Moment and DH is trying to get me to wait for the latest one this summer.  I really don't want a touch screen phone, though.  I have a hard enough time typing with my ipod touch, but I don't want a teeny tiny little keyboard either.  I email a lot on my phone.  I just don't want to get a phone I hate and have him tell me he told me so.  LOL!

Re: Anyone have a Google phone?

  • I had the Samsung Moment. I wanted to love it, but I didn't..and wound up taking it back. The slide-out keyboard was a huge pain in the butt to use. I use my phone mostly for email, text and internet. I did like the touchscreen for internet a lot...but email was just a HUGE pain. You had to push a ton of buttons to get to your inbox, it didn't sync with my computer's email so I had to keep deleting the same emails over and over, and more. It had a lot of apps, which were cool, but I was less into the apps than I was into WANTING a phone that was easy to type on. Oh, I also thought the keyboard was too wide to type fast (it's actually not teeny tiny at all).

    I wound up getting the Palm Pre and I'm in love with it. The keyboard is small, but I can type super fast on it. It has a touchscreen for internet, which I love, yet a real keyboard, too. It also can combine all my emails (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc) into ONE inbox, which is nice.

    Anyway, I am sure some people might love the Google phone, but I found it to have too many quirks and too much of a pain to use for the things I wanted most (text, email, internet).

  • Loading the player...
  • Get the Droid. Seriously. You.will.love.it.

     

  • I looked at the Pre and Pixi and they just seemed so small!  Maybe I should give them a 2nd chance.  =)

    I don't think Sprint has the Droid. My friend has one though (Verizon) and it seemed to be the same thing as the Moment...just a diff carrier....very few differences (that I noticed, at least).

    ....oh and the Pre is a bit smaller than the iphone, but to me that is good...and at least the screen is decent sized. I don't want a super bulky phone. I found the Moment to be too bulky for me, too.

    Motorola makes the Droid. 

    I love mine so much I sleep with it at night. No joke.

    I really wanted to love mine....I just didn't. I think lots of phones could go either way depending on the user.....like I don't even like iphones and most people love theirs (mostly bc i HATE typing on a touchscreen).

    LOL! I hate typing on a touchscreen too. HATE it. That is why I think I love my Droid, I have the option.

    This is also why I love my Palm Pre. It reminds me of an iPhone, but WITH a full keyboard ;)

  • I have a Motorola Cliq w/motoblur. Love it. It has a touch screen and slide out keyboard. It's a Tmobile phone though. I don't know if Sprint has a similar one.
