Just upgraded to a samsung prevail, runs on droid 2.2 wifi tethering and its 3g on boost for 50 a month, I love it but I have big fingers and im constantly mistyping things, could type 5 times as fast with my old crappy phone that just had buttons but its worth it

GTFO WITH THAT TALK!



Why? Buttons are for old people, and people that cannot adapt due to mental issues, or girls due to nails.
If you have a phone with buttons, tie it to some fishing line and use it as a weight.
I have big hands, and big fingers. I can see small phones like iPhone and older Droids, but on the new generation 4.3/4.5 inch phones, my hands fit fine, and because my phone is a smart phone, it can change and pick up misspellings and mistakes for me. when you type, word suggestions fly across the top of the keyboard.

My gf was scared about typing on a touch screen, but within 24hrs, she was fine and had no complaints.

Buying a phone with buttons is like owning an LT1. Yeah, they can be fast, but why do you want something that is old and busted?

Good choice. Since this sounds like your first Android phone, be aware there is a little bit of a learning curve. It's certainly not difficult to use out of the box but you will be amazed how you can set everything up and what tricks you will learn to make things super fast and convenient. The ability to customize just about anything is very useful.

You do realize that over the last year, android powered phones outsold iOS and BB? Droid does, iOS doesn't. BB isn't even trying.

Brian phone does not have buttons, so therefor he is winning. His car has a 2nd ac compressor which makes it go woo-woo which overrides LT1 lameness. Add cherries, and its like a supercharged sunday.
