My girlfriend got the backflip yesterday and it has pretty much sold me.

The huge amount of applications is very fun to play with.

The police scanner is kinda cool although I don't seem to have a local stations.

Has anyone else just played with a phone for a few minutes and gotten addicted? I feel bad because, anytime she isn't using it I'm exploring.

I gotta get some tutorials on programming.
 
Seriously? We're on a community forums discussing a cell phone--yes, i'd say we're all well versed in what it's like to be addicted!

ROFL
Best post I've seen today! +1 for you sir!


Personally I just got my android phone (moment) for my B-day at the beginning of the week, and I can't stop playing/exploring the endless apps/games/widgets...

LOL in fact the only time I put it down is to check this website, for news about my phone!

IOWA, you are addicted man. You're the person I see whenever I'm on here. In fact, I feel like you should be in my friends list--since I have no one.

Lol well when you read at 700/800 WPM and can type at 80 wpm confortably, well, you tend to rack up alot of posts. Lol. Plus, one of my computers generally always has this page loaded, not to mention my 1 hour commute on the train each day, I'm generally browsing on my phone.

Yeah its really affecting me.

I used to be a pretty productive employee and was able to study hard after.

Now all I am doing is playing around on my phone or reading up on news on my phone (cool themes, apps, icons, etc).

It is almost 4 AM and I got work in 5 hours. Damn it. I would probably be better off had I stuck to WinMo. But damn it, Android is sickk.

Top 10 Signs of Cell Phone Addiction it only goes down to 6, but number 7 would be me, lol.

There's a next button at the bottom of the article, fyi.

I match up perfectly with 7, 6, 5, 4, partially 3, 2, 1.

7. I bought the Tapatalk app specifically for these forums. Need I say more?

6. I will most likely do this when I go to college. I will literally skimp out on buying food to save some $.

5. This used to happen, but I bought an extended battery. No I have no problems making it to the end of the day.

4. My Eris' trackball broke and kept scrolling left making it unusable. It really sucked not able to use the phone proper.

3. Only half true. I do notice when someone has an Eris and I say, hey, they have an Eris. That's cool.

2. I always panic when I can't feel my phone in my pocket initially. I thought I lost it, but it was just in the wrong pocket.

1. Guilty as charged. I always read these forums or others while on the pot. So just remember, when I'm posting on here, I might just be poopin'.
