I'm not sure which Droid phones AT&T has but the HTC technology is by far and away the best.
My FI had a Droid incredible with Verizon and the phone is very cool. I'm waiting for the new Droid thunderbolt to come out and then I will switch from AT&T to Verizon.
BUT, if you are using your phone for more business related items (i.e. lots of e-mail writing) the blackberry might be *slightly* better for that, although much less fun.
Neither of us is on AT&T, but my husband has an expensive blackberry and I have a cheap android - and he is constantly jealous of my phone. We find that the android market has a much better selection of useful apps, and can't really figure out why anyone would want a blackberry....... he'll be switching soon. :)
ETA: Look for an android with a slide out keyboard. I didn't think I would love mine, but I totally do!
@daydreamwanderer- When I got my bb there were no androids so it was a good phone at the time for email/internet etc but now that androids are out I see how awesome they are and I'm craving one! lol I just keep hearing good things about Verizon droids so I needed input on some good AT&T droids...hopefully there are some that aren't too expensive!
@Kitzy- I'm not anti-iphone lol but I have a itouch and I don't exactly love it enough for a phone I think but if you have one please tell me what you like & dislike about it. I'll adjust my poll for iphone votes!
AT&T has the HTC Inspire 4G. That might be good. Just look for a Droid phone by HTC. They had fantastic touch screen phone technology before the iPhone arrived.
@kitzy: I thnk her problem with iphones are their lack of tactile keyboard.
I think a lot of the Android phones are superb, but because AT&T has had exclusive rights to the iPhone for so long they didn't develop any top of the line Android phones because that would compete with their iphone market which has been a major deal for them for the last few years. Now that other carriers are able to carry iphones, its likely that the quality of AT&Ts Android phones will go up, but thusfar Verizon and other carriers have outstripped AT&T in the Android market.
Sorry if that's that's not especially helpful.
@Soon2beeMrsM: Yep, that's MrDDW's deal too. He bought his BB just before androids really made it in the market, and now he's stuck with it!
AT&T just released a new Android phone yesterday, the Motorola Atrix 4G. I wish I could get one! It's got a dual-core processor! I use a Samsung Captivate, which was their other Android option before yesterday.
I love my iPhone! I was super close to getting an android but the sales rep informed me that they can get viruses like a computer because anyone can just dream up and app and put it out there...whereas apple tests all of theirs. Now, I'm not really sure if that true...but I bought it! :)
DH has an HTC and LOVES it. Its a really cool phone.... he has Sprint though. Not sure if AT&T carries them.
I’ve been a diehard iPhone user since the first generation was launched so that obviously gets my vote. I love that I have everything that I could possibly need in one handy devise. There’s an app for just about everything and the developers really care about the product they’re selling (I should know, I’m marrying one).
I had a blackberry years ago and I didn’t love it. I’ve never had an android but I have friends that do and they seem to like them. In my opinion, the iPhone is the best phone on the market so I’ve never seen a reason to switch.
I personally have an iPhone and love it. But you should go into a store and play around with some of them. Also, it depends on where you live. In DC, we don't have a huge dropped call problem, but in NYC, it was terrible for me.
I have a droid 2. Its amazing & has a slide out keyboard:
Sorry this photo is so big! I found it online & can't get it smaller.
@soontobmrsc: The downside of Apple testing all their apps is that they require approval for all of their content, and their are a lot of really good apps for Android that Apple doesn't have because they couldn't get it approved. Similarly, there are a lot of apps that Apple makes you pay for that Android has for free
of note: I have an iPhone4 for personal use, but use an Android phone for work.
ETA: If you use a mac as your personal computer; however, an iphone interfaces seamlessly.
@NauticalBride2011: That's why I'm dropping my plan with AT&T and moving back to Verizon. Service here SUCKS. I can have 5 bars and 3G service according to my phone and not be able to make a call, send a text, or get e-mail because the network is too busy.
@KatNYC2011: Iphones are really good at a lot of things. Surprisingly, making calls is not one of them.
I have an iphone and have had one for 3 years. I love it.
My FH has a Droid and he really likes it. But we both agree the iphone is better, and easier to use than the droid. But that's just us! I have several friends who prefer the Droid.
@als87: I looked into this phone seriously for a while, but I have a friend who works for AT&T and said that motorola has their own operating system that they put over the Android, so some of the popular features of Android are missing and it is harder to operate.
@sdrury89: Awww boo! That's a shame...thanks for telling me though. That's definitely a good thing to know.
@KatNYC2011: I couldn't believe how many dropped calls I had in the city! I don't blame you one bit from switching. I was on Verizon, but actually, AT&T had better service in my home....which was bizarre.
@sdrury89- Thanks that is helpful!
I'm loving this feedback, keep it coming!
I know I already chimed in, PLUS I'm not an ATT user, but when I bought my phone a few months ago, I found cnet reviews to be very helpful - they have reviews on TONS of phones, pros, cons, realistic advice - and because they're all from the same site, you at least know it's an objective standard across the board, even if they do rip most things to shreds, hahahaha
I'm not an AT&T user, but I am a BlackBerry addict, and I really like the Torch! It's keyboards are pretty standard as to what the BlackBerry models today have, and the OS6 software runs very well (since it was made for the touch screen devices). It's nice because you can use the touch screen or slide it out for the keyboard!
@DDW- Thanks I'll check out Cnet!
@Melissary- Yeah it will be hard for me to part with bb if I do change to iPhone or Android. I'm just a bb addict.
I currently have a BB Bold and since I haven't had any issues with it, I have no plans to upgrade. I like the fact that is has the full qwerty keyboard and that I can talk, e-mail/websurf at the same time.
I bought my daughter the Motorola Flipout, which is a droid phone, for Christmas. She LOVES it. It's too small for my tastes but it has a lot of cool apps.
DH and I both have iPhones - he has the iPhone 4, and I have the iPhone 3GS. We are both more than happy with them, although his seems to be a lot faster than mine.
I am eligible for upgrade here in June, and plan on researching my options before deciding. I love my iPhone, but I am interested in the Droid phones too.
I LOVE my Blackberry, but since everyone has jumped to iphone or Android, the coolest feature of it (Blackberry Messenger!) is not as cool anymore, more like useless. I voted iphone, even though I haven't completely decided what phone to go with after this one.
I just looked into the new Motorola android, and I LOVE it, at least online. If it is as impressive once the reviews start coming out, I may be switching from my iphone.
@MissHobbit- I've been looking a lot at HTC Inspire. I like how I can add memory if needed up to 32 gb for less than iPhone 4. Downside if I get an iPhone 4 is that I cannot afford the 32gb and that is the size I would like.
Decisions decisions!

So AT&T Bees (if you are w/another company please don't tell me to switch b/c it's not an option) I'm due for an upgrade. I currently have the old blackberry 8310. I'm wondering what a good AT&T phone is? I wanted the bb torch but wasn't sure if I should try an android and if so which one? I do really like having a full keyboard vs no keyboard and only touchscreen, but if one is much better I'd be willing to try it out! Help!
