Greetings, We're a mobile development company, and consequently we have one or more of everything: iPads, iPhones, Xooms, Transformers, Moto Atrix, HTC Sensation, MyTouchSlide 4G, Samsung Galaxy's...
Of the phones, the Galaxy has far and away the best screen, but you'll always find them laying around here because the staff doesn't grab them. Samsung NEVER updates, so bugs and such never seem to get resolved. (The GPS STILL doesn't work on the original Galaxy, after more than a year.) People who have all their music in iTunes trend toward the iPhone here, but no one is crazy about the 4 the way they were when the 3G came out. The phone that disappears if you put it down is the Sensation. The screen isn't as good as the Galaxy IIs in terms of color depth, but it is HUGE-4.3"-while the phone itself seems incredibly small even next to an iPhone or Galaxy. You really have to think about it as a small tablet, actually, with that screen. I use it as my Kindle, do most of my surfing on it; I gave up both my Xoom and iPad because I'd simply stopped using them. That said, it doesn't have a tablet's battery. I get less than half the battery life I did on the Galaxy or HTC G2; but then, I didn't read books on either. So we all carry a battery pack that recharges USB stuff. It's fast -- dual core processor -- its small, GPS and call quality are great, and the screen is huge. Recommended. cjf ________________________________ From: friam-boun...@redfish.com [friam-boun...@redfish.com] on behalf of Mike Orshan [mors...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 12:39 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: [SUSPICIOUS EMAIL] Re: [FRIAM] Android Choice I use the HTC sensation and love it. The battery life is short and I need to recharge at least once a day. My pet peeve is that these need to slip into a sports coat jacket or back pocket. It is really too large for a holster. Anyone have any solutions for holding the larger cellphones? I use TMobile, the price is right and have great reception almost everywhere including overseas.

It's got a beefy feel, which makes typing on the slide out keyboard pretty smooth and fast. I can manage my cloud sims nicely from it. Battery life in CDMA mode is 1-2 days, depending on how you use it. There's a handy app called "Spare Parts" that helps identify what's draining the battery. The only advice I have is to get one with a 1GHz or higher processor. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095<tel:971-222-9095>, http://tempusdictum.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
