My First Android Phone – MyTouch 3G Slide
I don't really have too much in the way of a "review" to report just yet, as the phones have literally only been out of the boxes for a couple of hours. But so far, we are only mildly frustrated (which is less than I expected), and have each uttered a couple of "oh that's cool"s.
Figuring out exactly how to set up the contacts may take a few days. I do have one bit of advice though, if you have a lot of facebook and/or gmail contacts, consider whether you really want every single one of them on your new phone, BEFORE you hit the button to sync your accounts. :-)
I've only downloaded a couple of apps so far ... wordpress, photoshop, IMDB, and Calvin & Hobbes. But my "favorite" so far, is one that I found for my wife that has about 200,000 free ringtones. That right there is going to save me $5 or $10 a month because she won't be buying them from t-mobile any more. :-)
Anyway, I'll come back to this post and update it as I learn more about the phone.
In the mean time, if anyone has any advice or stories (especially about Apps I might want to try), please feel free to share in the comments.
Thanks ...
Wish all phones had that slide keyboard.

ReplyDeleteHaha, I know the feeling having bought a slight less advanced phone recently too. What I have been hearing is that the android phones are actually superior to the iphones, only they are less popular, less well marketed. Will be looking forward to your experiences/thoughts on that.
Usually, any first generation of a newly arrived phone is a skeptical buy. But reliability on the phones browser as well as the added advantage of variety of apps make this a nice pick. People need to break inhibitions and experiment with such arrivals in the market.
