I still miss blackberry and even Nokia for the keyboards. The Droid Pro might be worth a try if it’s at least on 2.2?

Nothing integrates like a blackberry so that will take some getting used to. I still don’t have my facebook calendar integrated into my phone calendar. But there’s so much freaking dev support on these phones compared to blackberry that you can get a custom solution for just about everything.[COLOR=“Silver”] sigh, you know me so well \<3 ---

Droid X, about 9 months old…has begun to randomly shut down recently, usually at times when I need to make a phone call, go figure. Sometimes it will freeze up, so I’ll pull the battery and fire her back up…but usually this takes 2-3 attempts to get it back up and running. Other times it will straight up power itself off, with a 50/50 chance of powering back up and acting normal. Anyone experience this? ---

Sounds like something’s scrambled in the OS. I’d just back up everything and reset it. ---

He said they couldn’t even diagnose it any further because it was rooted. I understand that they can’t be liable for stuff that I do to the phone, but if i sold my customers a computer without administrative access, and told them if they get admin access their warranty is void I would be out of business. ---

Yeah I don’t think anyone actually uses those keyboards. HTC typically gives the best out of the box experience, but the new motorola UI on gingerbread is actually fairly nice. The DX2 that comes out next week is going to be a really nice phone if you don’t mind carrying around that slab. I mean, the droid pro looks like it has a nice keyboard but was kind of a bastard child as far as development goes. I still want to try a Pre ☹ ---
