My wife and I both have smartphones but we are certainly not techies or power users. We don't even reach 1gb data/month between the both of us so the unlimited data being taken away by VZW doesn't bother me. We use ours for email/text/pictures/web surfing and maybe a dozen free apps.
Upgraded my wife's old Droid 2 Global on Saturday with a LG Lucid 2....this is one of VZW's free offerings (though they tack on a $30 upgrade charge of course) and I have to say I'm impressed. Even the phones they 'give away' now are pretty impressive for most users needs.

I have an iPhone 4 but my upgrade is available this month so I'm looking to switch to some sort of droid. The iPhone has been good but its time for a change.

The Droid is great got mind last year and I almost never have to go on my computer or lab top anymore.

With all due respect, your endorsement of droid could kill their sales for good :D

I'm typing this on a droid too. The spell check and autocorrect are pretty impressive... But you still have to proof read your text!

To those with Android phones; consider trying one of the alternative on-screen keyboards, like Swype. It takes just a little bit to get used to, but once you do it makes typing so much easier and quicker, IMHO.

I'm anxious for my Galaxy s4 to arrive. Stupid verizon takes so much longer than other carriers.

I'm really excited to see if Air View / Air Touch (hovering over the screen) will work with ski gloves. That would be a huge boon ... taking pictures / etc. without having to take off your gloves.

How many words per minute can you type with the Swype keyboard vs the one the Droid came with?
