remember he had spent 25+ days with driod eris. Wasn't happy. what was the VERIZON alternate (no palm, no iphone remember).
not sure what she purchased if anything. she spent ~30 min with the samsung wm65 (at $100 more) then moved over to imagio while my friend was talking to customer service. I'd take the Imagio over the Samsung.
whatever she wound up with is a compromise from common sense and what the customer really expects
any carrier
any phone
any system
each phone ecosystem has a major hole that the carriers, phone companies and ms/apple/google are in no hurry to fix.
if you want a SMARTPHONE i can easily recommend WM, especially verizon or if cost/coverage is an issue. Everyone i know (not corporate) with a blackberry has no clue what they're doing, can barely browse the web and have email in 2 boxes (home and phone) out of sync. bought a blackberry due to price & name.
driod is so new you'll get no help from anyone. including google. i couldn't even pull up a non-mobile version of espn.com on the Eris phone (checking football scores). it's a clusterfark in many ways and will continue. Plus the Eris had the Sense UI on Driod making a total lack of cohesion.
young people sort of realize this and have no delusions of sticking with a system for ever. MS knows this and is why WM7 can really become very popular quickly (if it checks each "i need this" box and does what's expected obviously)
