It has a full qwerty keyboard and full touch screen. I ve had no problems and the people Ive talked to with the touch screen only love it as well. Props to samsung I gotta say go with them. And I sure I would still feel this way If I had had to pay for it, ( I won mine at WCG 2010 playing asphalt 5 woot!!) | ||

The fact that phones are progressing SOO fast, and mentions of like dual-core processor phones in the next few months, the new Galaxy phone soon, etc.. Just imagine how out of date the Galaxy S will be in a year or two, then you're still stuck with it! So what I did, was bought the first used decent android phone I could find on kijiji/craigslist.. for like $100, and went on a pay-as-you-go plan which has no contract. This way, I get a lower monthly rate, and a decent android phone for now.. until the new phones come out, then ill consider going on a contract but even then I may just buy the phone outright if I like it a lot.. I got the LG Eve, which its processor is kinda junky and can only get 1.6 but its fine for now, does what I want and no contract! Im sure I saw some Droid 1's on ebay/etc for like $150, so if you find one of those it'd be cheaper than getting a 3 year contract, and you'll get the phone you want. | ||

samsung sucks with the android updates. at first i thought i thought it didn't matter, but after froyo rolled out, i noticed my battery life nearly doubled... makes a HUGE difference. i don't know if the droid updates more often. i'm still not a fan of touch screen keyboards, i've tried swype and now i'm on the gingerbread keyboard. i hate correcting words and would rather have the accuracy and control of a real keyboard. the camera is nice and it shoots HD video as well. i was considering getting a smaller digital camera beforehand to go along with a DSLR, but i feel like the cellphone camera works well. downside is no flash, looks like the droid has one. (generally i have issues with pictures taken with flash on non DSLR cameras though). the screen is great. good color, very clear, great resolution. GPS is slow, but i think they've fixed it. | ||

So I needed more opinions. xP i have a samsung phone thats completely touch screen, its not bad, and this model is vastly inferior to the galaxy S. You get used to it after a pretty short period of time. I would never want a phone that uses swipe to text though, i'd much rather type out my words. I've been thinking of getting a new phone as well not sure what i want either. | ||

It all depends on whether or not you can live without a physical keyboard. I don't mind at all because I got use to it from using an ipod touch for a long time. You should probably go to a store and see if you can try out the touch keyboards. | ||

Something I've been thinking about for a while. I like Wind, but I've heard they don't work outside of Lower Mainland(where I live).. And Mobilicity is absolutely horrid! =( It sucks, I work at NCIX and we're partnered with it, but my friends phone doesn't work indoors, and he rarely receives his texts. Not to mention he's still being charged for everything he can't use. =[ On February 02 2011 01:14 Skyze wrote: I was making a similiar decision in Dec, I really wanted the Galaxy S because it looks so awesome but the 3 year contract bugs me..

I've come to accept that I get half way through a contract and I need a new phone. /faccepalm I personally won't buy a phone unless one of my friends have owned it. x_x But it's definitely something I considered. But getting the Droid on Ebay for 150$+shipping is still more than paying the cancellation fee, getting a new contract, plus the new phone. xP! x_x! Thanks though!

I'd take it like it is. /shrug I've had that thought process before. "Once I get the new phone.. what happens if another new phone comes out right after?" I think it's why I've held off buying a really nice new phone for so long. =P | ||

I may go with that idea. Hmm, that's kinda cool. I kinda wish the iPhone was.. more.. just.. Not an iPhone, haha. But that's really awesome. Wish I could get deals like that from my friends. xD On February 02 2011 05:46 Haemonculus wrote: The droid is a very egotistical phone. I've never heard a phone say its own name so often in my life.

when i first saw the demo videos they released last earlier i was pretty iffy about it until i got my legend a while ago and couldn't stand using the regular touch keyboard so i switched into swype beta and its amazing o_o takes a little practice but wow, the developpers behind it are genius to have thought of this. | ||

It seems so odd. I'm the type of person that enjoys the click. Kinda like.. satisfaction. I don't know, haha. Touch screen phones.. I'll see if I can make a good analogy. Talking on the phone with someone is much more personal than texting, right? Texting feels impersonal compared to talking on the phone. Clicking the keys of a keyboard or on a phone texting feels more personal than a touch screen phone. Touch screen feels impersonal compared to a Qwerty keyboard. XD!! XD | ||

Reason I'm ok with using an iphone is for one, so many people use it anyways, whats good about apple is they don't settle for what they have and they always do take a step to develop their product. You look at blackberry, they're supposed to be the hot topic but quite frankly they just don't DO any shit whihc is why they are significantly falling behind the iphone and android OS phones http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/apple-leads-smartphone-race-while-android-attracts-most-recent-customers/ If you're the type of person who wants to end your phones contract before the 3 years is up you might as well spend 600 dollars and change in 1 year than cancel your plan, pay that fee, do all the fees for switching over, all while voiding a 2000 dollar 3 year contract. | ||
