Who else is in?

Viva La Android

   It's official. I'm an Android-user.  So long, AT&T -- hello, Verizon!  I had been looking into switching carriers for several weeks, but a friend told me that the phone I had been looking at, the HTC Thunderbolt, was free with a new 2-year agreement until January 26th.  Since I'm within a month of my contract expiring with AT&T, they waived my early termination fee, and I ordered the Thunderbolt.

  Verdict: Amazing.

   I've had my iPhone for 2 years now, and it was great.  It was pretty user-friendly, had some cool features, and mostly just kept me occupied and entertained.  The Thunderbolt, however, has WAY more features and functionality.  The music is FREE  -  suck it, iTunes.  It's basically a mini-PC.  I have never been a fan of Apple or Mac, but the iPhone was the cool thing to have.  Now that I've switched, I don't know that I'll ever get another iPhone.  Some people thought I was crazy to go from iPhone to Android, including the Verizon salesmen.  But to each their own, and my own is Android.  

   As far as the cell service, I would like to point out that when I switched from Surewest to Cingular in 2006, it was advertised as "the network with the fewest dropped calls."  I would also like to point out that I never had a dropped call until I switched to Cingular/AT&T.  I have basically stopped using my phone because I can't get through an entire phone call without dropping it.  But with Verizon?  I have coverage EVERYWHERE.  I haven't had a dropped call yet, and the customer service is so much better.

   So AT&T, it's been real.  But there are many changes happening in my life and this is just another one on the list.  Isn't change amazing?  The answer is yes.  It is.
