I once wrote that I would never leave my Blackberry $RIMM. You would have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
Never say never.
On Friday I ditched the Blackberry for The HTC Incredible and Droid operating system $goog. I have been weaning myself off the Blackberry for a while and it’s not as hard as you would think.
It was pretty easy having all my data ported and the HTC is an awesome phone for phone call navigation. I hear from everyone that the battery sucks, but I won’t use it much for the internet as the iPhone 4 $aapl is phenomenal for that.
The HTC is super, super light and small and the talking Google Maps and car features are finally a GPS product that even an idiot like I can appreciate. This is just gynormous.
Other than BBM, there is no reason for an entrepreneur to carry a Blackberry. You do need to carry a Droid and iPhone though.
“You do need to carry a Droid and iPhone though.” — is that because the iPhone is a terrible phone?
Really cuts through the “which one?” debate.
I also have an Incredible – great phone. Battery life is improved somewhat by turning off WiFi and Bluetooth when not needed, but don't expect miracles.
Google Nav is a killer app – total replacement for a dedicated GPS. I also can't live without Swype. To me, it is actually better than a physical keyboard, even BB. I also highly recommend Twitter for Android, Dropbox+Sprite Backup and Google Voice Search.
I'm still confused
Thx. Awesome tips

IF IT IS NOT AN IPHONE, WHY WOULD YOU WANT IT?
Yeah. And meanwhile the voice quality of mobile calls still sucks like a black hole. Fuck these phone makers and their carriers, and the FCC they rode in on.
Now we just need StockTwits on Android!!
Counting the days until I get my iPhone4 on Verizon. $AAPL to 400.
I refuse to carry more than one phone. I want it in my breast pocket and I want to know that I have everything I need in that one unit. Love my Blackberry.
there is no longer a which…it's how many can cleanly fit on me. I need a holster.
just get a bunch of battery's and a battery charger. I never have my phone on the charger, just swap out batteries. this is why I will never get an iphone. dead battery=tethered phone=useless.
I don't understand why more people dont use there phones this way.
buying a bunch of batteries for sure
