Smartphones

The three phones I referenced, while they're slightly bigger than my first generation Droid Incredible, are pretty much the same size as my current phone inside its polycarbonate case. Once I replace it, I'm going to have a decision to make about putting it in a case or not... I really think having the case to absorb impact and fly apart saved the phone from a couple of drops...


nybiker, if I asked you before I don't remember - how easy was the switch from the HTC skin to Motorola? I tried to help my neighbor with her Motorola Android phone last year - not sure the model - and couldn't make heads or tails of it, it was so counterintuitive. But I've read that Motorola is using a lighter touch with its Android skin these days. What do you think?

I didn't really have any problems getting used to the Razr Maxx. There were a few things that were not intuitive, like how to send a photo from the gallery in a text message. But overall it was okay. Then I had to get used to the ice cream sandwich update, which involved several hours of forum searching to figure out the changes, but I settled into it pretty quickly after that.
