To all those thinking of jumping over the RIM...
I'll admit, I have thought of going Android. The only reason is I hate typing on my Storm2. I wish Verizon would carry the Torch, but that won't happen soon.
So the CEO at a company I service came to me and said he is dumping his BB Curve and getting a new phone. He came back from the Sprint store with a Samsung Epic.
After 5 days we learned:
Battery life sucked, not just a little, but after charging all night, he talked to an hour and it died.
Email sucked. Messages would be delivered to the phone, show up on the screen, then the next send/receive, dissapear. Gone from the phone, and gone from the server, never to be found. Sprint just scratched their head.
Reception sucked. This may just be Sprint, but he had better service with his old curve.
Audio sucked. It was scratchy, and he said half the time he could not hear.
So I all this phone the Epic Fail.
After 5 days, he went back to the store and picked up a new curve and has never been happier. Email is very important to him, as it is to me. As a consultant, my company survives on email.
So, even though I thought I wanted to leave RIM, this experience over the last week has cured me for quite some time. I was even thinking iPhone with Verizon, but I don't think I want to take a chance.
Just a little info for you if you care.:D
