So, I just got a couple new Android phones and they are pretty good. However, they are not nearly as intuitive as the Iphone. They do however allow you to do more with them so once I get it figured out I think they will be good. I have two weeks to decide if I like them. I can return them for a ten dollar re-stocking fee within two weeks if I don't like them.
Any tips from you Android users out there?

When you're in a function and can't understand why you can't do something, push that little button.

Don't know what's up with yours...
Is Palm still in business?
Dude palm threw the hail marry and hired a bunch of apple employees and developed the OS. The bad part is they hired the wrong ones!!!
Do yourself a favor and go buy an iPhone!
They didn't copy pinch to zoom, and have a huge war over iTunes?
Problems with iPhones these days? Really? What problems are there? Don't be lame either and say antenna gate. My 3GS did the same thing. Apple even showed other phones doing the same thing.
By the way, Apple did some hiring of their own
The Pal-Pre went up against the comparable iphone and pretty much took the cake. You'd need the new iphone to compare to my older palm pre just to beat it.
Pit Row
The palm pre was never close to the iPhone.
Hell, the 1st iPhone was better than the palm pre!! LOL
If the pre was so much better, why did apple sell more iPhones on day one than palm sold total?
Against the comparable iphone, the pre beat it on many levels, including speed, multi-tasking (older iphones did not do that) and better camera and video (better resolution and megapixels with palm-pre). You would need the new iphone to beat the older palm-pre.
I played with it for 15 minutes and knew it wasn't for me. It was very lagy with a weak display and the camera pictures didn't look at good as the iPhone. It isn't about megapixels...
For the record how many years has apple won Jd powers award for cell phones?
How many for palm?
With BB, Droids and Iphones, and the coverage, the rest are obsolete.
Happy customer here
I have a friend that develops iphone apps and we were talking about android and he was saying that the android just feels unfinished and unpolished compared to ios.
There both good but I think you would really like the iphone. I am an apple fanboy though but I freakin love google overall.
I have a Verizon Droid (Moto Droid 1). In general, with the newer versions of Android (2.0 and up) and running on the newer/stronger phones with more memory, there is no need for a task manager as Android handles tasks very well by itself, and task managers can actually screw things up more. The big things are turn down the screen brightness and turn off things when you aren't using them (ie BlueTooth, wi-fi). I can usually get through a full day (24 hours) and sometimes more without having to recharge, depending on how much I'm on my phone. As somebody else mentioned, when you first get the phone, you are playing with it a lot, and the screen being on will drain the battery. GPS drains the battery fast, so don't have Maps running in the background (the GPS will only be running when apps that use it are running, so you don't need to turn off the GPS when you aren't using it).
As for finding things on the phone, the menu button is your friend... tap it to get additional options in apps and on your home screen. Check out the Settings icon and look through all the menus. Hold down on the home screen to bring up options. Hold down on icons in the launcher to make a short cut on the home screen. Hold down on icons on the home screen to drag them and move them and also to bring up a trash can at the bottom of the screen to delete (will not get rid of the app, just the short cut). Look through the market to check out the tons of apps available (and yes, they even allow "adult" type apps in the market LOL).
Improvements have been made with each OS version, which are free and pushed to the phones (when the phone manufacturer and carrier are okay with the version and ensure it runs properly on the phone).
