Droidy

I was never into phones until I had a Blackberry. The reason I switched to an Android is for the bigger screen and the better apps. I loved my Blackberry, but it was not fulfilling my needs. I know it sounds weird to some of you, but alot of people treat their phones like another person. My friend Anita was obsessed with her Blackberry (BB) when she got it years ago, and I could not understand what the big deal was. One night when I was over, she was talking to me and holding her bb at the same time but her eyes were not on me LOL. I asked her "What is so special about a bb?" She told me it was faster than a regular phone, there was also BBM and themeing! Anita then showed me her phone and she had some cute Hello Kitty (HK) wallpaper (wallie)with the HK icons. I was in LOVE, and my search for my very own BB began.

I got the BB Curve from Sprint, and it was heaven for me! I discovered this themeing world, with thousands of blogs that just gave FREE themes for any kind of bb. I had Nancydrew Themes, Mellyberry Themes and Themes4bb.com to help switch my themes daily. There was so many to choose from, the colors, characters, movies, cartoons, etc. I was obsessed and I looked like a bb zombie just like Anita. I woke up in the morning and checked my phone first before I checked on my children LOL. My mom hated having conversations with her because I never made eye contact. The iphone never interested me that much, but the Android was calling my name. And I did not want to cheat on my BB curve. So I went to a Target store and was browsing their phones. I had already heard about the HTC Evo4g from Sprint, I saw the screen and I was in LOVE again! I thought the itouch screen was big, yeah right that was an infant compared to my new HTC Evo4g.

I liked how fast it was and the HD. The web is super fast, way faster than a BB. It didnt have BBM and I could not theme--so I thought. Well the BBM is only for BB, but I could still theme. Learning how to theme a BB is easier than a Android in my opinion. For a BB you just download the ota and your done. The icons are customized and the wallie is done for you. When it comes to a Android its a little more complicated, in the begining I could not find blogs on how to theme a Android. Then I heard about rooting! Yea so rooting sounds like phone talk, and it is. Rooting is when you jail break your phone. From my point of view its like my phone is in jail! I am only allowed to use 200mb of its memory, even though the full capacity is 400mb! I was not using my phone to its full potential. Once I rooted my phone and picked a ROM for it, it was OVER! The speed, the graphics, screenshots, etc....... Their is still things I have not accomplished with my Evo.  I love my phone, its just so amazing and everyday I learn something new.

Ok back to the theming, I finally found some people who helped me theme my phone. I still have lots to learn but this is a great begining. I really follow 2 main blogs and they are sandyblackberrythemes and emarsha <<<< she does iphones as well. On twitter I follow alot of droid users and we help one another out. SevereDeceit on twitter helped me with the apps I needed to make my phone look so pretty. So now I am content, and yes there have been other Androids that have come out and seem attractive. But I am devoted to my droidy I don't have eyes for any other.


The Apps on my phone are mostly widgets and you can find in the market:

• Simple Text
• Simple Calendar
• SiMi Folder
• Wallpaper Wizardrii
• HK bow is from Sandy's Photobucket page on her blog
