Hi all,
I'm waiting to see how this current round of "battle of the latest and greatest" plays out before upgrading. I've been on a DroidX for over 2 years and hate much about it - but I'll admit that I've thought about but have never been able to invest the time or energy in rooting. Now, I've recently come into possession of a gently used Samsung Galaxy S (i-500).
Questions: IYHO, what are the pros and cons of switching to the Galaxy S (Facinate?) for the next few months? If I were to switch, can/should I take the time to root the Galaxy S *before* I contact Verizon to switch the number? Undoubtedly, more questions to come, but that is a good starting point!
FWIW:
1) I know that the Facinate has far less internal storage than DroidX, but I don't think that will pose a problem based on what I currently have on the DroidX (I'm using < 2gb internal storage)
2) I don't need/use HDMI out of the DroidX
3) I'll be sticking with BigRed on a shared plan, so I'm not looking to switch carriers or for a permanent off-contract situation, only long enough to make the jump to current tech! I was sad to lose my unlimited data, but my sister tanked that for all of us when she leapt on the new iPhone (which she now regrets!)
In advance, thanks for your help and advice!
