Hi,
I lost my Iphone, and wasn't totally in love with it. I'm thinking of getting an Android phone. I'm with Vorizon. Does anyone have a Vorizon Droid phone that they'd recommend and why. The Vorizon website offers several models, but I can't decide which one to choose. Since there isn't a tactile touch screen protector for Android phones, I'd like one with easy screen navigation, like a trackpad, or arrows. In your oppinion, are qwerty keyboards becoming obsolete? I kinda like mine, but could adjust.
I keep hearing about using MA in and out of its shell. What does that mean? Is it helpfull to have more than one screen reader installed on an Android phone? How have your experiences with the internet been, specifically on Vorizon? I don't wanna spend a ton of money for a new phone, I may even try the Amazon route. I searched for an Android Ice Cream Sandwich, but couldn't find it. Has anyone used an LG or Samsung Android phone with Vorizon? I don't want a model that's much more than a year old. Any suggestions would be great. I'm pretty overwhelmed.

let me help you, do you want a 4G phone, do you not care if its 3g? Second, with android you need either these following things, if touch screen, a trackpad, directional 3d pad or if a slider phone a keyhboard with arrow keys. I liked the droid 3 but the soft buttons take time to get used to where they are at the bottom of your screen. Keep in mind I would not get a phone less then a gig processor and a gig ofr enternal memory or more.

I don't really care if it's a 3 G, I'd just like one that's about a year or so old, if not newer. I'd like a more recent version of the Android software, but it doesn't have to be the absolute newest. Also, a moderately-priced phone would be okay. I did see a link for the Android 3. Are you still an Android user?

I use Android and love it. Several Motorola phones have keyboards along with trackpads or trackballs, both of which will make navigating Android easier. Google the phones that Verizon offers, seeing which ones have these, and go from there. When in doubt, go to a Verizon dealer and try feeling the phones, seeing what they feel like when you hold them, dial them, etc. If that's not possiblee, contact Verizon by phone and see if they can recommend a phone with a qwerty keyboard and a trackball/trackpad/navigation keys.
