[lug] Phone Recommendations

[stimits at comcast.net]

I definitely love my Motorola Droid X. I very highly
recommend it, but get unlimited data...you'll need
it because of all it can do. It's funny, I see commercials
for 4G phones, and all they are doing for the most
part is matching the Droid X. Although X can only
do 720P high def, and 4G can do 1080P.

 Looking for phone recommendations.


I'm enough of a techie to want Open Source - maybe some day I would write a couple Apps for it - more for fun than need.

Not enough of a techie that "really cool features for if you are writing mobile apps for a living" is needed.


I've got fat fingers, so I'm sure I need the larger virtual keyboard.

I don't mind a larger heavier phone - maybe the larger the better - longer battery life?  better screen?


I'm more of a project guy, so I hope not to be living on this phone doing support (like my previous employers have tried to force), but things like light remote systems admin is good.


I live at the bottom of the ridge 1 block south of NIST - has anybody had experience with bad/good reception around there?

It's scary how many stories I've heard about people who got a phone - the company knew their address was in a dead zone but didn't tell them.


Am talking to some Google Apps people about maybe being able to do some work with them;

probably for my usage, the difference between Symbion and Android wouldn't matter, but don't want to shoot myself in the foot -

Want to hear thoughts and of other decision criteria that anyone might deem important.


Thanks,

Gordon Golding
