Alright, so I been facing this phone choice thing like it's getting married.
HTC Incredible, Droid X, Samsung fascinate.
It will be my first smart phone. I am leaning incredible, with its small size, and HTC reputation, even if it seems so June (google results not my opinion).
I should say I love a keyboard, but the Droid 2 dropped out of the running. It's KB isn't so hot. Amazing my feature phone, LG Voyager, still blows away physical smart phone keyboards including the epic, but I imagine the keyboard half is just filled with too much cpu ram etc to do it anymore. Keep it mind I guess, I never been on a touch screen only phone.
The Droid X seemed a little big to me. Maybe I need to ask them to let me put it in my pocket, without being chained to the table. Is it still hard to root? Because I hear it's easy on the incredible, and Sense is much nicer even if I chose not too. This is my biggest conundrum, since it seems to be the Verizon "it" phone.
I love the size of the incredible. So I hear the samsung fascinate is a nice middle ground with it's 4" screen, right in the middle of the 3.7 incredible and 4.3 X. The reviews don't quite stack up, and I hear it's loaded with verizon bloatware. Is it easy to root and fix this? I kept gravitating to it, mostly because it had swype preinstalled, and I wanted to check out how it worked considering I been a keyboard lover.
The incredible, I worry it's smaller screen may hinder swype and hunt and peck because of it's small size, but I can't really evaluate swype at the store. Skin wise It did seem easy to use, but apparently it rapes battery, maybe because of it's smaller size.
I dunno, I'm unsure of the behmoth, and am reluctant to go with a phone (SF), that some say is great and others moan about. Any thoughts? Is it time for me to just suck it up and go with my gut?
