I just got the DroiD 2 two days ago and i really enjoy it. But it doesnt seem really different than my ipod that it replaced except for widgets and adobe flash which is really awesome on the android os. like i feel the need that i dont actually need a droid and i dont really want it that much as i thought i did.

now im thinking about returning it for a Samsung Reality. i tried that out and it was alright but the keyboard wasnt really that good. if anyone has it, what are your opinions on the reality. the droid does more than my ipod touch and i do want to keep it and all.

but what really is eating me that i have to pay the 30 bucks a month by myself. my parents pay the bill, i pay for the data. i work at a water park and the season ends this month and i wont have a job until next year. im also thinking that the droid just maybe a little to much for me. like it has so many stuff that is like for a business person that i wont ever use.

what do you think i should do? should i return my droid to verizon for the reality or keep it? i just wanted a new phone and something to replace my ipod cause its cracked, the droid did just that, but im having second thoughts on keeping it.

what should i do?

I'd keep it, as the droid is awesome. Since your iPod cracked, it's a worthwhile replacement. You're probably stuck with the 30 a month data fee anyway since it's probably part of your contract.

thats true. but apples appstore has apps that the droid market doesnt even have. ill still be using my ipod for some stuff but then why keep the droid if thats the case. and this is my first smartphone so the data plan is new on the bill. i have 27 more days to make a decision then i have to keep it.

i seriously hate having second thoughts

Is your iPod functional?

Also, I find there are more droid-exclusive apps than apple-exclusive apps.

the ipod is functinal, but the ios4 is very buggy and it freezes and apps crash a lot. maybe my second thoughts a re being negative. lol. and for the apps, i do think that droid apps have more funtionality

My experience with the Android marketplace has been the opposite. Generally I see the same applications by the same developers in the Android market that I see in the Apple App. Store. The difference? Android applications tend to be cheaper and more frequently, free.

Many applications can be easily ported by its programmers between the different platforms (e.g. Android, iOS, RIM Blackberry). The company that I develop mobile applications for does it, and I've seen many other applications like Facebook and Pandora do the same.

Android OS actually has more users (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-20003618-16.html) now than iOS, which means that more and more applications are going to be developed specifically for Android. This is especially true considering that Android is open source and supports Adobe Flash.
