Got it!! I can't do an all touchscreen device. The Bold Touch is the best of both worlds for me.

I'm happy with Android. Really the only thing I would like is the ability to have folders in the photo gallery. But I'm happy with the Android OS, especially now that we have the ability to store apps to memory card.

Btw, are you aware that I got myself a new smartphone? Samsung Droid Charge. I got it so impulsively because of all this talk about tiered data, I was afraid that even though I have unlimited 3G data that I might not be allowed to carry it over to a 4G smartphone, so I a 4G smartphone NOW with unlimited 4G so I will be set for the future.

The Super AMOLED display is awesome. And it is so, so nice to have a lot of internal memory, I can have more apps without getting low memory warnings constantly like I did with the LG Al...

My sister was looking into that phone. I was reaing some reviews but most of them werent that good. You can confirm its worth it. I so want the Thunderbolt but am not due for an upgrade til 2012. I was merely stating that the BB Monaco is the new Storm 3 per se' but am hearing good and bad things about it.

What are your thoughts?

I've had the Droid Charge since this past friday. Thus far no major complaints. But if your sister is a heavy user, the standard battery will not last more than 4hrs. So an extended battery is strongly advised.

Let me know if there is anything specific you want to know about the Droid Charge.

Oh yeah, Verizon does sell a case with a built in kick stand, so that's cool. And there is a real good amount of internal memory available for apps, and it comes pre-installed with a 32GB memory card.

My sister says she does allot of emails...So she wasn't sure if that was an issue or not seeing as thought it's an all touch screen phone....Shes coming from the BB Curve.

And she's interested in the Droid Charge?

Thus far, I have been typing in portrait mode, landscape mode takes up too much of the screen and I cant read what I'm typing, but portrait mode leaves more room to read what I'm typing as I'm typing it. but because it's a 4.3 inch screen the buttons are spaces well enough apart.

Yeah she's interested in the Charge. So portrait mode is better than the landscape...Got it. Got anything else that you wanted to tell me before I give her this information?

Umm,...she might want to consider getting the case with the kickstand, it's pretty cool, you can put it on a flat surface and with videos.

Personally the reason I chose the Charge over the Thunderbolt are 2 reasons, 1 the Super AMOLED display, super bright colors, and more easily readable in sunlight, and 2nd reeason, I prefer the physical buttons at the bottom of the phone rather than touch capacitive. So there is my reasoning as to why I chose the Charge over the Thunderbolt.

I just miss the BES 😢 😢

I would go back to BB in a heartbeat if they came out with something on PAR with some of the high end Droid devices...

I might have even went back for a storm 3...

My dream phone would be when BB gives up on operating systems, developes a device running Android with BES and BBM.. that would be my dream....

Just shrink the playbook down to a 4 inch screen with the android app support, I would buy it tomorrow

It's an eventuality. QNX on the Blackberry will happen. I just don't see Blackberry spending that much to buy out the OS just to keep it secluded to tablets. 🙂
