    Im up tomorrow with Verizon.

    I have a Droid 3. The battery life has been aaaaawful. Like I cant be away from a charger for more than a couple hours. I also seem to use up a shit load of data, when I really shouldnt. I think I have too many apps, and some probably work in the background. And they also update automatically. Phone also lags a bit trying to call, answer, navigate menus, etc...

    So I think Im going to strip all my files off the phone.... reset it to factory defaults and see what happens and if I can stretch more time into this phone.

    I really dont want to lose unlimited data.

    unlimited data rocks for sure....

    as for the battery, it could be an app running, or it could be a shit battery. we've got a couple of batteries that wroked good for a while, and then just started working like shit. if you keep the phone, might be worth picking up a new battery.

    it may be. Phone also gets pretty hot.

    The apps updating has caused "Three Stooges Syndrome" where they all (like 20+ at once) try to update at the same time and get stuck for a long time and perpetually try to download data. I turned off auto updates on a bunch which seems to have helped.

    Blackberry Bold

    It's good at email .... and that's about it. But my work pays for it, so I can't complain too much. I do prefer the physical keyboard versus a virtual one.

    I have an iPhone but I don't get the hate for it. Works amazing for me. yes, my post above says I would dabble in the GS4, but that's because I love new tech.

    the hate is for the whole Apple mantra..."you need this, and only this" (well for me)

    Apple won't let you customize or personalize. Some people just like to be able to switch stuff up, Hell, Droid even has different launchers-ones that make start-up faster. The ability to personalize clocks, notes, calendars, dialers etc.

    I don't want a company to tell me, 'this is what you get, and you're gonna like it' . Don't get me started on iTunes either, I HATE iTunes.

    i think the customization shit is over blown. :lol: i hear about all these fancy roms/interfaces/blah blah...

    just give and send my text messages quickly, give me hotspot for free (hello root) and give me the internet.

    oh yeah...and unlimited data. :lol:

    sure, I get it but just because they don't want you to customize, doesn't mean that you can't. Screen Shots of my phone below. There are a ton of developers that create amazing tweaks.

    I like customization because I would still prefer to write stuff down in a day planner. When I would actually write things down, I would remember it, now my phone just predicts everything, and then I forget about my appointments.

    Samsung is awesome. They are unveiling a new one soon - the Galaxy S4. I'd wait for that if I were you. That's what I'll be getting when my contract is up for renewal in October.
