I decided to to give the Droid based smartphone a try so I got the Samsung Infuse 4G. It has the latest Android operating system and has he fastest processor yet.

So far I am really liking this phone except for its gigantic size. It looks like a mini tablet compared to my iPhone but it does much much more compared to the iPhone IMO. Here is a pic that I took of my new Samsung Infuse next to my iPhone 3G.

OK that made me giggle a lot :wink: hehehe OH man
that is huge compared I know the case makes it seem bigger but YIKES

at times would not mind a larger screen ? but not sure I want that in my pants ?

That’s totally not fair! You have a very heavy duty case (otter?) on the infuse and the iPhone is naked. I have 4.3 inch screen and I love it. I may even go 5 inch someday.

I picked up the Samsung Droid Charge yesterday. Its bigger than my Droid and makes the iPhone 4 feel like an iPhone Nano!

No Gingerbread?! WTF!

6

I thought the gingerbread OS was not being released until the new dual core phones come out unless you got it third party. In anycase I’m not going to root this phone.

Too bad…Gingerbread rocks.

8

Damn, why not just walk around with your laptop and use Skype to make calls. That thing is HUGE.

Gingerbread has been out since December. I have it on my Nexus S 4G from the factory.

Nope, the DroidX got GB as of this past Saturday.

I am still waiting for ‘THE’ single device - I want true Garmin GPS funtionality with Google earth/maps overlays. Full iPod like media funtionality and hardened to at least Garmin Rino standards. If it did all of this I wouldn’t care if it were the size of a small paperback novel.

What size is the screen? How do I get Gingerbread on my Droid X is it something I can do with an update?

Found it.

Is it 4.5"? man my Droid is 4.3" that case makes it look huge.

You have two choices. 1) Wait for it to be pushed to you by Verizon 2) On 1 June go into your settings, go to about phone, and then search for updates. 3) Go to androidcentral.com, go to the Droid X forum and find the thread about gingerbread and download and install it yourself.

While doing your own update is not hard at all, pay extra attention and follow the correct steps so you don’t end up bricking your phone.

I’ve had Gingerbread 2.3.4 from day one and the video chat functionality in Google Talk is super smooth.

Thanks guys. Looks like it rolls out tomorrow.

I have Verizon’s new Thunderbolt. That 4G network is amazing and the 4.3" screen is huge! I thought about a iPhone until I looked at the specs of other phones. It was no comparison to go with an Android OS.
