What was your first MetroPCS android?

I've had two blackberries for my work phones. The first was an 8800. I didn't like it very much. The 2nd is a 9000. I like that one even less. The keyboard really sinks on it. I get multiple punches of the letter, and I'm not even hitting them very hard. I love the virtual keyboard on Android; and Swype in particular. I love Swype.


Interesting . Considering most BB people thinks BBs physical keyboard are close to realistic :)

The 9900 Keyboard is the best one Ive ever used. I only switched to an Android because I couldn't bring my phone.

I am constantly retyping on all keyboards Ive tried for the Motion..I have big fingers. When new BB hits Im torn as to which one Ill go with..full touch or Qwerty

I hate swype :)

That's one of the things I like about Swype; I don't have to worry about the fat fingers. I do have to make sure of the auto correct 'cause sometimes it'll auto corrects to something else entirely. :D

IBM gave me the BB Bold 9000. We use it with a proprietary app that we get our service calls on. Its not activated for web or sending texts. I guess that's one of things that we (almost) all love about Android, we have so many choices for keyboards (and other things).

i think the indulge after the custom rom and a few tweaks was a great phone. it got better battery life than my current connect and had a few things with the bluetooth capabilities that worked unlike the esteem or the connect. after the rom it never crashed or lagged. however the screen resolution was horrific and the design was so ugly reminded me of cheap chinese phones with 8 speakers 4 sim cards a fat screen tv antenna and such haha.

Optimus M -> Optimus M+ -> Motion 4G.
I've stayed with the LG phones because I've been very happy with them. I know there were a lot of issues with the M but that was the later firmware versions, I had the first one that came out (got the phone the first week it was available) and it never had the rebooting/crashing problems that the later ones had.
I had the M for over a year and a half before upgrading to the M+, then got the Motion just a couple of months later because I couldn't pass up the $55 unlimited deal.
