How many of you are switching from a BB to the Droid

[nancyh1990]

I was a full-steam convert from my tour until I can't find an app to sync with outlook calendar, contacts, and notes. I live and die with my outlook and unfortunately Android folks consider outlook is outdated.

Allow me to clarify. I do NOT use MS exchange server. Just simple BT sync via Blackberry DM on my laptop.

Count me in. Switched from Storm to Droid in January and have no regrets. Don't miss having to reboot my phone 3-5 times a day, expensive apps, few apps, slooowwww response, and not having any fun with my phone! It was a hard decision because I loved Blackberry and never dreamed I would have any other kind of phone. But, I finally got so frustrated with the Storm that I decided if I was going to make a change I was going to go for broke.

I was afraid there would be a big learning curve with the Droid but found it easy and awesome to use. I love this phone. I do miss voice dial but ----that's it! The choice of apps is great. I found apps to replace everything I had on my Storm and the best thing is that most of them were free. There are so many free apps to choose from. The few apps I have paid for have been very inexpensive and they are updated regularly. I have to remind myself to reboot the phone every now and then. It has been trouble free.

Have I said that I love the Droid?

Just switched from Blackberry to Motorola Droid - I love it! Apart from the tiny font size. Phew, OK for browsing but everything else is tiny.

It was an easy choice to switch from my bb pearl to my droid! Just did on Saturday and am in love again!

Howdy,

I've used a Blackberry for 12 years, but am switching to Android as soon as the Droid Incredible arrives. My biggest dilemma to date is finding a good Windows/Android password keeper. I'm looking forward to all the other fun apps, too.

Best,
mike

I've been an avid bb user i had the pearl 8100, curve 8310, curve 8900 and then had the storm and then i saw the droid and played with it at best buy and within a few short min i was a proud owner of the moto droid.

Going from my beloved BB Curve (8330) to the Droid, I did have some serious withdrawl symptoms - FOR ABOUT A SECOND!! Having played with the store model since January and using them side by side (under the watchfull eye of the Verizon sales folk) I had a good idea what I was getting into. Of course it wasn't untill the UPS delivery on 4/19 that I trully got a feel for what an upgrade it was. Just starting to scratch the surface of what this thing can do, but I'll tell you one thing - the Curve is now gathering dust in the closet.

My biggest dilemma to date is finding a good Windows/Android password keeper.

Search Market for Keeper. It works similar to RIM's Password Keeper. Navigation is a little different but you can figure it out.

Anybody else miss their curve/tour keyboard and BBM? I do.

Anybody else miss their curve/tour keyboard and BBM? I do.

Sometimes, sure. I had really gotten accustomed to the Curve keyboard and could knock out texts and emails pretty quick. I also understand that there is going to be a learning curve associated with any technology shift/change. After 10 days I'm getting fairly good at the virtual and slideout keyboards.

As for BBM - meh. Wasn't really a fan.

I do occasionally, but after a while I only talked to maybe 2 ppl w/ BBM b/c everyone was switching, lol. My Tour's keyboard was a breeze, but I've become pretty quick on the Droid's keyboard. The only thing that has me missing Blackberry is battery life. Other than that, the Droid handles everything my Tour could, and better!!
