Just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S II through work. I liked the last Samsung phone I had, an e250. That was a bit cheaper though.

Sweet.  We're finally getting them here in the US next week.  If I weren't 12 months away from my next upgrade, this would probably be my next phone.

What's the current hotness for an Android phone with a physical keyboard?

I think Princesca and I are going to get smartphones soon.  My current phone is ok (Sony Ericsson w760), but I'd like a new toy.  I have my corporate Blackberry, but Blackberry kinda sucks now and I feel weird looking at Facebook and shit on it even though I know they don't care.

I recently got a sonyericson neo, in fact I'm writing this entry on it. Rooted it an got rid of all the annoying sonyericsson stuff. Liking it alot so far.

If you're looking for a dirt cheap androidphone I can recommend the ZTE Blade. My girlfriend got one almost a year ago, perhaps there's a newer model out now? Don't expect it to run hd-material without a stutter but for everyday use, some facebook and web browsing it's perfectly ok. Had I not been so impressed by her phone I would probably have not have gotten a smartphone myself.

What carrier are you with?  The Droid 3 is one of the newest & it has good specs.

I'm with AT&T now, but I could be convinced to switch.

I'm with AT&T too... was looking at the Samsung Infuse 4G earlier.  Unfortunately I live in a rural area and can't get 4G at home (from any carrier) but I can get it in town with no problem.  The question in my mind is: do I jump ship to Verizon because their 4G network is supposed to be so badass?  My brother (who works for T-Mobile) is encouraging me to do that.

Really want to get the samsung galaxy 2, but looks like Verizon isn't going to offer it.  Any news on when the Droid Prime may come out?

LG Optimus V with Virgin Mobile. $55 a month for unlimited everything, or $35 a month for unlimited data/text/email and 300 talk minutes. My plan is $25 a month because I got in before the price hike. I have been mostly satisfied with the phone's performance and service, although sometimes it is slow to do texting through the basic texting app. The phone is a mid-range Droid phone and is $150. No contract.

Princesca wants us to get Atrixes instead of Infuses.  Is the extra cost worth it? :hmm:

l'LL have to replace my Droid soon. It is an original model, and going to crap.  Droid X or something I guess.  It'll be in December when the new every 2 comes.
PDH!

Still got my old HTC Hero. About to go Galaxy S or Droid X.  Stupid cellularsouth.

Working on a Motorola Citrus right now (the phone's actually quite decent for those of us who aren't app-crazy).  S is on a Galaxy S Continuum; the Fascinate seemed like it had some problems that would just piss us off too bad.

Ok, this Atrix is pretty badass.  Tell me some cool shit I can do with it PLZ.  The Latitude app is like a billion times better than the one I have on my Blackberry.

Got Droid Bionic a couple of days ago.  My first impressions will follow shortly.
