Same here and where I live I don't think there will ever be high speed internet. I will be lucky if hey ever blacktop our road.

Oh I almost forgot, this phone I don't have to type my text. It has a speech recognition all I do is talk. it makes it a favorite of mine.

I use my Droid to post on here and on FB.

I had a BB Tour for about 6 months and HATED it with a passion. I used hubby's line upgrade and got the Droid. I LOVE it! It is the best phone that I have ever had. So much more user friendly. I wasn't so sure about touch screen at first, so I used the keyboard a lot. Now I am not using the keyboard at all, only the touch screen. If you can get past how much the data costs a month, smart phones are totally worth it.

There was a lady who worked here a couple years back who literally just walked around the office texting people all day long.. I told her one day that there was a new thing out there that converted speech to an electronic signal and vice versa, so that people could just speak their messages to one another instead of wearing their thumbs out. She was like "COOL! What's it called?!?"

I said..."It's called a telephone, Debbie."

She kind went...huh?...I don't get it..??..and then you could see it start to sink in.. She turned BEET RED, then just laughed and laughed..

It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

I have a BB storm but I'm looking at getting a droid. I think I'll like the droid better. I use my BB everyday because I don't have internet connection. So yeah I only post on the forum with my phone.

I had the storm two. I now have the Droid incredible, it is a much better phone. Even has I gigabyte of RAM. My previous computer only had 512 MB of RAM. If you get a touch only Droid you will like it. Only thing I miss is the screen click with the blackberry.

I sometimes lurk from my Blackberry at work, but I rarely make long posts. It loads and posts fine, but it's defintiely slower than my home internet and smoke breaks are only "so long" if ya know what I mean.
I mainly Facebook and read email from my phone, besides ya know, calling people.

I send emails too, like texts, but if I'm gonna write a book I usually just wait till I get a real keybaord.

That's just it. I have a keyboard, I just use my thumbs. If your phone is 3g and I am pretty sure it is since you said blackberry, it should go fast enough without having to wait on the internet. Well mine does anyway. Then again I have to go through my cell company to connect on my computer too.

It's the images that take the longest to load, ads, icons, avvy-s, etc. this forum isn't as bad as another one I frequent.

We have cable at home, and "mega computers" (or they were a couple of years ago) so I am spoiled. We do a lot of online gaming, so we have pretty high-powered processors, ram and video gear, but the phone is a heck of a lot easier to carry around!
