The Android Experience

It took a lot of courage to shell out cash to buy an Android device in a BB world like ours. I had the chance to get a BB Curve or Bold and go home with some change the last time I visited CV (Comp Villa or Computer Village - for the noobs). Instead, I got a T Mobile MyTouch 3G. The phone was obviously unlocked because T Mobile is not available in Nigeria. The specs weren’t all that even though it was better than the alternatives by far. Besides, the version of Android it was running is 1.6 (Donut) at a time like this when we already have 2.2 (Froyo). I hesitated at first, but then I decided it will be perfect to start the Android experience from grassroots and see how the OS has evolved. I made the right decision.

Even though the amount of apps I have access to are limited to my OS version and my phone specification, I have to say, this operating system is advanced! Either on Wifi or on 3G, I get the best out of my phone; this is really a smart phone. As much as the HTC Desire was my dream phone (it still is, by the way) I have to say that I’m cool with what I have for now, and that the Android platform in general is a particularly good look and feel. This is only the beginning. :)
