I was nearly turned away from android by the original "Droid"... My friend bought it, I was still on a Motorola SLVR, but had used my sisters iPhone.. The android was slower, less apps, and battery life seemed poor... I meanwhile kept my SLVR until I tried my friend's Nexus S. By that time the app market was well supplied, the phone seemed blazing fast (stock), though the battery life wasn't on par with my phone, I upgraded and haven't looked back... I admit my NS isn't fast compared to the newer phones, nor the battery life remarkable, this phone is well built, stable and still manages to meet my every need.. :)

The Galaxy S3 was what made me switch from the iphone. Apple came up with no significant upgrades so it was a no brainer for me to try the best rated phone at the time.

Found XDA and since then I´ve been trying different roms and mods.

    I remember back in the days, when the phones actually were used for phone calls and maybe couple of texts. I'm not that old school, at least at she 30, I still consider myself pretty young. Growing up, racing cars was my passion. After becoming an adult, getting married and having kids, everything changed for me. Couldn't spend the amount of cash I used to on cars. So I decided to sell my car. And with having experience only on couple flip phones, including the EXE, I decided to order a blackberry Curve 8330. I stated getting interest in the tweaking and messing with it. Updating firmwares was about the most exciting thing I was doing back them. One day I walked in a radio shack store, and there it was, the HTC HD2. Immediately feel in love with the big screen and design. It was love at first sight. Being a windows phone didn't matter at the time, since I was not familiar with the Android world, so I didn't know better. Then, came across XDA, and everything changed. Started reading about Android and the goodies that it had, and found out that there was a way to boot Android on my device from the as card. Had the first taste, and never looked back. Currently own a Samsung galaxy Note, running ICS 4.0.4, and I'm loving it.
    That's the way I was introduced to this amazing world, with all this amazing people, willing to sacrifice time with the family and restless nights cooking awesome software for people that they not even know, and many times aren't even grateful of their job. Thanks Android, for giving me a great opportunity of interacting with awesome and brilliant people. And grateful for this great hobby.

    my first post here in XDA.

    I come in peace from another planet "Apple" and would like to make peace with the people of Android..

    Galaxy SIII is my first phone that I have owned. I love it and I am loving Android! :D

    June 2010 I got the Motorola backflip I feel in love with Android but after the first 6 months the processor at 528 mhz was unbearably slow. The great devs created cm7 for it which just barley made it bearable to wait until February when my contract was up. I had no problems moving from the 3.1in screen to the 5.2 in screen on the note. I still think having the keyboard on the back than flipping backwards is the best design for a phone with a keyboard.
