My sprint FrankenPre2 finally had to be put down. Cracked case, battery with <80% health, Sprint discontinuing navigation, web browser not loading pages properly, and unable to pull up maps before the next day made me to finally move on (still going 100% with my Touchpad with webOS).
My first android experience was with the L Optimus s. I hated it so much I built a frankenPre2. Loved it until the day I last powered it down. I installed CM7, CM9 and CM10 on my Touchpad. I liked CM10, but still loved webOS even more.
Now for a phone, with no webOS in the future except for LG upcoming toasters, I had to get a new phone. I never liked the iPhone, but do see how it appeals to the masses. It is too ridged and very simple to use. I had considered getting the 5S, but still could not convince myself.
I also looked into the BB Q10. Then again, I was thinking, should I jump a sinking ship? Yes it has a keyboard (big plus), and could run some android apps, but was it worth it. The OS navigation was cool and multitasking, but I could not find a model to check out.
Windows 8, well I saw how you can pull up maps, but the tile based screen was way to busy for me.
Then we have android stuff. I had four possible candidates: HTC one, S4, Note 2, and Moto X. HTC One I did not like the android skin that HTC put on on it. The S4 was cool but too big of a phone. The Note 2 was OK but way to big (but I would have gotten it f I had no Touchpad).
Now the Moto X. It had a great feel even with the Otter Commuter box on it. Second, the Active Voice is great. Asking your phone to get directions on the fly while driving is so cool. Chrome has on android has improved how they manage the tabs. It is almost like a card interface. The multitask or app switcher is smooth but not like webOS cards, but good enough. The android in it is almost stock, which is a good thing. Oh, the camera function is great. Simple zoom and other enhancements really make it great.
Anyways, I may get some flack in pimping the Moto X, but for now it is best phone (for me) to replace my 4th and final palm phone (Treo 650, Treo 800w, Pre, and frankenPre2).
