I feel a fire burning in my hands, almost like an excitement I felt once before.... That's right, I've decided to give the Droid camp a go. In some ways, it was by accident really.
When I sold my Storm Trooper 3GS, I had to resort to using a trusty ol'Nokia E52. A great workhorse, exceptionally good to use. Except... it wasn't a touchscreen device. It didn't have a big screen. It didn't have apps I could download freely (ok, I'm not saying OVI isn't decent enough). It made me feel... incomplete almost.
Then, my brother came back from overseas and planted (an inception? =/) into my thoughts. "Why not an Android?". I brushed it of at first, but then the seed grew. "Yeah, why not an Android? Why not....".
All the more my E52 suddenly felt so lacking. And, with the iPhone 4 so difficult to source (no way was I gonna pay obscene prices for local ones), AND, a door opened for a Samsung Galaxy S deal to fall through.... I dived in.
For a day.
Long story. But I was hooked.
Anyway, I'm now an owner of an HTC Desire! Its been a week and a half of spending time with the Rebel Alliance (sorry for the lingo, I'm a Star Wars fanboy). There were times when I felt the force within to stick with the Empire, but no. The decision has been made. I will stick with it.
And, to be honest, I am quite enjoying the life in the android world. I can still do what I used to do on my 3GS, only differently. Facebook is there, Twitter is there, Whatsapp is there (now). I'm reconnected to the world.
Over the next few weeks, I intend to write up a bit on my experience. Stay tuned!

You should give those social apps a spin on your new Android :) I got an iphone 1st gen but comparing to my Nexusone, i think Apple just gives you :
I) Big storage space which you can't sync with other phones and other apps other then itunes
II) Amazingly sharper graphics which i can't deny that it's still the best in the market till now
III) A huge bunch of apps collection but more and more developer are jumping on the Android bandwagon lately.
and the pointers goes on...
Android "Froyo" really shows how fast Google have come in refining their mobile OS as i felt the difference between Android 2.1 and 2.2. Haven't tried those custom kernel, ROMS..etc though but i bet they are even faster and more heavily tweaked version of Froyo.
hi Andrew, thanks for your feedback. So far, gotta say, even on 2.1, I am enjoying the Droid world. Refreshing, all I can say.
