Re: OT Doid 3 and Droid Bionic question
I have the HTC EVO ( Sprint ) and for virtual keyboards I really like Swype. But to be honest, I like even more the speech to text capability, where I can literally dictate a message into the SMS text app, or the email apps. Accuracy is very good, doesn't usually require any more correction than the spelling and autocorrect mistakes from the keyboard. Hopefully your version of Android has this feature too ???

Re: OT Doid 3 and Droid Bionic question
I use the Droid Incredible. I found an App called 'Hacker's Keyboard' and it gives you more keys, like arrow/directional keys. I have it installed on both my phone and tablet. I tried Swype and really didn't like it. But, that's just me.

RE: OT Doid 3 and Droid Bionic question
Check out the extended battery. It doesn't add much bulk or weight and it fits most of the cases. I am going to bed at night with about a 40 percent charge still remaining.

RE: OT Doid 3 and Droid Bionic question
I definitely recommend the Bionic over the 3 - check the ROM Developers'
comments at http://www.rootzwiki.com. Battery life is incredible for a
3g phone, much less a 4g phone. The developers have root (attained
before it hit the streets), are working on ClockworkMod Recovery, and
custom ROM's are already being developed.

My boss has offered me the choice of a Droid 3 or a Droid Bionic phone.
The Droid 3 I have seen, for just a few minutes, and I really like the
full keyboard. The Droid Bionic I have not seen. The Droid Bionic has
the 4G advantage. However, I really don't use my phone for surfing, but
do text and email often from my phone. On the Droid 3 keyboard, I could

Can anyone who has used these phones please comment on how they liked
