My wife has an old Blackberry Curve I think? It's a pink 8000 series phone. She's not into high tech stuff, and HATES my touchscreen thunderbolt. I told her she'd get used to it in time. But I thought that since they do make Andriod phones with actual keyboards still... that it's between the Droid Pro or the Droid X2 Global. Global isn't a feature she'd ever use. It's all about which phone is faster and more reliable. She isn't nearly as patient as I am. So random reboots and data connectivity will throw her into a blind rage. She also doesn't need 4G right now. Personally, I think she should get the Incredible 2 and deal with the virtual keyboard. It's not that bad. The Incredible 2 has Swype, where as my Tbolt doesn't. I hear that's a great way to text. I use ThumbKeyboard and really like it. I first tried SwiftKey but I didn't care for it, especially after trying ThumbKeyboard.
My wife is old school, and she does a LOT of talking on the phone. She's in sales. So it's all about talk and text. She doesn't use the enterprise server feature though. I think she'd love some of the Android app's though. She has an iPod, but she'd probl like to be able to have some music on her phone too for backup. So I'd likely have to purchase her a larger card.
First thing I'm going to do regardless, is dial in her Gmail addy book to have ALL of her contacts in it. It will make the switch much easier. My Gmail addy book is now my "Master" with ALL my contacts. I was using Backup Assistance (she does too), but I just exported all of mine online into my gmail account and went thru them all and cleaned them up. I then exported my Gmail addy book into Backup assistant... but I'm not sure if I even need to use BA?
Anyway...any advise on a phone?
Thanks!
