Making the Switch

My eyes have been officially opened.

I have now been a Droid owner for about one week.  I must say that it is a HUGE change from the iPhone 3G.  Actually, HUGE is not emphatic enough.  The iPhone was working just fine and actually still works just fine.  But after a while, I stopped receiving the updates for the phone.  The updates were applied to the iPhone 3GS and newer phones.  Slowly, the performance dwindled a little but still did fine.  And then it happened…

It came time to get my wife a new phone.  So I went to the store and started checking on some options for her.  Simple taste.  Nothing fancy.  Just a phone.  She previously had a Blackberry Bold 9000.  She loved it until it completely crashed.  So I was just going to go and get a replacement for her.  I did a little research online and there were some pretty good deals, so I went on to the store.

The next thing I know, I got Lovely a new Blackberry Curve 9300 and I walked out of there with a Motorola Atrix 4G.  Now, Lovely’s phone is quite nice.  I like it a lot.  But the Atrix 4G is a force to be reckoned with.  Dual Core processor, finger-print recognition technology doing away with passwords and PINs.  qHD screen produces an amazing display. 

I must confess that this is my first real interaction with a Droid phone.  I am still getting used to it because it is completely different than my iPhone.  But it is worth the time to get to know something new. 

If you are considering a new phone and you are nearly at the end of your contract, go with the Motorola Atrix 4G.  I have never seen anything like this.  I am one happy customer.  I just have to learn how to make the Droid jive with my MacBook Pro.  Ahhhh….I love the smell of technology in the morning.  (well, pretty much any time.)
