Hello,
I have an HTC EVO 4G. I absolutely love the People app and the Dialer. (I think...)
I really like that I can "link" contacts with facebook contacts and linkedin contacts. So if I link everything and I go into my People app (replaces android contacts) I see anyone in 1) gmail contacts 2)facebook 3)linkedin AND if anyone put their contact information in facebook or linkedin, I call the straight from people (or dialer) as they show up as regular contacts. Also, I can set each contact to display their 1)google picture 2) facebook picture or 3)linkedin picture (or one from my phone.
Also, i love the dialer. if I want to call Joseph, I start dialing (or the numpad) J-O-S-E and it narrows down to who I could be calling.
Here's my question: When I upgrade to a new phone, I may not stay with an HTC Device and I"m not big on rooting and new roms. Are these features available on say, Samsung devices, or stock Android? I'm liking what I'm hearing about Galaxy S II (and III) and I'm leaning that way for my next phone but I really want to maintain this functionality.
I've looked at a bunch of friends android devices and the EVO is the only I've seen that does this. My mom has a thunderbolt and I think hers does it as well.
I'm interested in any and all feedback.
Thanks.
