Since I live in Canada, and it looks like we aren't going to get the Droid X,
I'm looking for other options. I've read that the HTC Desire is good. Anyone
have any suggestions (other than the iPhone, which I think I'll take a pass
on?) :)
I really like the Droid by Motorola. Has a slide up screen for an actual
keyboard and for what I do that is required. Battery life is acceptable,
although nothing to write home about, I would keep a charger at work, in
car and at home and top it off whenever you can.
I saw the Droid X, and it looks good, but I also noticed a lot of junk
installed. Doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but still
annoying.
I do things like ssh into our linux servers and use that to tunnel to our
terminal servers or workstations and the keyboard is a must have feature
for me.
Make sure whichever phone you end up getting has the features you want.
GPS isn't on every phone, etc.
