Way to go, Android team

hm, hypothetically, if I wanted to buy an Android phone, what would you recommend to get?
2011-07-16 19727, 2011
nikki has only used one
2011-07-16 19738, 2011
reosarevok is not the best person to answer as he has a second hand HTC Magic
2011-07-16 19745, 2011
reosarevok
I don't think they even sell those
2011-07-16 19749, 2011
reosarevok
(anymore, I mean)
2011-07-16 19706, 2011
luks
are you happy with it?
2011-07-16 19736, 2011
reosarevok
When it doesn't have ridiculous problems like starting the music when I move the headset, I am
2011-07-16 19738, 2011
nikki
and I suppose it depends what you use it for too. I've never called anyone with it so I have no idea how good or bad that is :P
2011-07-16 19743, 2011
reosarevok
…
2011-07-16 19754, 2011
reosarevok
Ok, mine calls and messages all right :p
2011-07-16 19709, 2011
luks
heh
2011-07-16 19716, 2011
reosarevok
nikki, do you just use it for Anki or what?
2011-07-16 19748, 2011
reosarevok
It also checks Gmail and the like with no problems and allows me to get on IRC on wifi when I'm in a club
2011-07-16 19754, 2011
reosarevok calls that good enough
2011-07-16 19756, 2011
reosarevok
YMMV
2011-07-16 19718, 2011
nikki
I mainly use it for anki and for looking up words in online dictionaries in the middle of class :P but also for looking stuff up online in general when I'm not at the computer, sms, reading email, notes, playing games when bored...
2011-07-16 19726, 2011
nikki
oh, and as an alarm
2011-07-16 19736, 2011
nikki is impressed by how loud it is
2011-07-16 19739, 2011
luks
I'm still somehow happy with my "dumbphone", but I wanted to try having something I can regularly check mail or web on without carrying my laptop
2011-07-16 19721, 2011
nikki
I like that I can set two alarms too
2011-07-16 19725, 2011
reosarevok
luks: for that, I'd recommend just getting the cheapest 2nd hand one you can get that still works
2011-07-16 19744, 2011
nikki
so I have it set for both 10 and 11am, then if I fall asleep after the first one, another one will still go off
2011-07-16 19751, 2011
reosarevok
After all you don't need anything fancy
2011-07-16 19716, 2011
nikki
oh, and as a timer in the kitchen
2011-07-16 19711, 2011
nikki
for some reason the ones we buy for that keep breaking, so I ended up just using my phone for it
2011-07-16 19730, 2011
nikki
...and as a torch when I don't want to turn the light on at 4am when going to bed :P
2011-07-16 19734, 2011
nikki
multipurpose tool :D
2011-07-16 19728, 2011
reosarevok uses it mainly for calls, sms, mail and crosswords
2011-07-16 19753, 2011
reosarevok also uses it for tangram lately
2011-07-16 19726, 2011
nikki
hm. I also use it for irc occasionally when I'm not at the computer, for looking at maps when I'm out, for checking the bus/train times when I'm out and sometimes reading pdfs when I'm bored and travelling (not really the best way to read pdfs though, depends how bored I am :P). and since I don't have any other camera, it occasionally gets used to take pictures of random things that I want to show other people
2011-07-16 19744, 2011
nikki
and sometimes to check barcodes by scanning them
2011-07-16 19745, 2011
reosarevok
True about the camera
2011-07-16 19748, 2011
reosarevok
And the barcodes
2011-07-16 19752, 2011
reosarevok
And the train times
2011-07-16 19703, 2011
reosarevok
pdfs? wow, must be hugely tiring
2011-07-16 19704, 2011
nikki
basically everything you can think of except what phones are actually designed for :P
2011-07-16 19702, 2011
nikki
it depends what's in the pdf really. quite a lot don't scale properly so are impossible to read without scrolling horizontally, but sometimes there's something I can read as easily as a page on the web
