Any advice for an Android noob?
Hoopz:
Does she not know who Gekko is or was it the idea of hacking a newer phone that caused the issue?
Regardless, don't forget to post pics as you make progress on the new project. ;D

I think it was the image of me walking around in public with Gekko's phone that gave her pause. >:D

It's called Juice Defender Pro ($1.50 on amazon app store) and it has greatly increased my battery life. According to the apps calculations, it's increased the battery life by 70%, which seems to be pretty accurate by my estimations. It's nice being able to go all weekend without having to worry about the battery on my phone anymore.

I decided to try this app. I'm only getting about 30% improvement (by its estimation) but I'm still real happy with the purchase. I'm using the "Aggressive" setting. I still have to charge my Droid X every night but I can get completely through the day with no battery worries. Thanks for the tip.

I'm almost due for an upgrade and just broke the screen on my Bold 9700. As a longtime Blackberry user I'm a little concerned about going from a real keyboard to a touchscreen keyboard. Is it tough to get used to? Miss the Blackberry keyboard at all? I've been very happy with the Bold and my only concern with getting another one is having a phone that is that far behind the tech curve by the end of my next contract.
Hoopz:
There is a learning curve but you'll quickly pick it up. I went from the Tour to the HTC Incredible and I'm still not as fast I was on the Tour. However, the benefits that you get from going to either an Android phone or Iphone greatly outweigh the lack of a physical keyboard. And some Android phones do have a BB style keyboard too.
The apps are infinitely better on these two platforms than anything Rim has available. The video quality, speed of internet and everything else makes it so much better. No offense intended, but you're already a year or more behind on the curve now.
I had forgotten how slow internet access is on Blackberrys. That's reason enough to switch.
