I hesitate to even post this episode of the Kim and Laura show. This episode entitled Droid Introduction could also be entitled Kim and her weird pregnancy facial expressions or Kim and her terrible pregnancy posture or Kim needs a haircut something awful or Kim's not funny at 9 months pregnant or Brooke will be here in 19 days.
The episode is shot on Droid day 7 and day 5. Now that I have had my Android phone for 60 days I will offer a more in depth review.
I still often miss my Blackberry Pearl, the biggest misses are as follows:
(1) Camera-While the camera is better from a mega pixel perspective I have big struggles with it. 1. Action shots are always blurry, this is a problem if you are taking pictures of toddlers. 2. Discreet photography you can almost forger about because the camera has a huge delay on it. Although you can turn off the shutter sound which is nice. 3. Too long between shots 4. I struggle with rotating pictures for blog postings 5. Self portraits are difficult
(2) Phone-I'm not a big fan of the phone or contacts access. This is bad for a 5K minutes a month user. I also cant get conference bridges to auto dial. My standard line about the Droid is "It's toy first, phone second"-thats a problem for me.
(3) Blackberry Messenger-I miss my Blackberry Messenger contacts
(4) Size-The Droid is heavy, large and won't fit well in my bra. I miss the size of my pearl
(5) Keyboard- Really hate it. Luckily we found an app called Swype which has improved our ability to type immensely, if I lost the application it would be a deal killer for the Droid. Can't tell you how awful and unproductive all 3 keyboards that come with it are.
On to what I love:
(1) Love the internet access including You Tube
(2) Love all the applications that are available and most of them are free. Favorite applications are as follows: 1. Calorie Counter that includes a barcode scanner. 2. Baby application that tracks diaper changes, naps, bottles, nursing, etc. 3. Our Groceries which links multiple Droids and syncs shopping lists by store-AWESOME 4. Ride Hopper is an application that tracks line wait times for rides at many amusement parks. It's great for a day at Disneyland 5. Tons of Games 6. Free 411 puts anything you are looking for at your fingertips. For example where's the closest Starbucks.
Overall I think the Droid's a keeper.
Now onto this episode of the Kim and Laura Show:

I am wondering why the Blackberry didn't work for you anymore and why you had to switch the the Droid?
I am so emotionally confused by this post and this topic, in general.
Positives: anything that leads to a K&L Show episode is FANTASTIC in my book; it's GOOOOOOOOOGLE
Negatives: I miss y'all on bbm; sending y'all pictures is like impossible now, so I just don't :(
That said, I am waiting (im)patiently for the Aero to come out to join the Droid network
That text phrase should just be a default/auto-populate option ;) LOVED having 90 seconds dedicated to typing that out :)
Ro at Jane's reaction to the notification
For someone who hates mouth noises I sure am a slurper
I really think you miss your pearl!! I think you should come back to the BB world!
I love my iphone, but miss the camera on my BB and BBM, too!
There needs to be a bra holster attachment for cell phones. Something cute sexy and discreet. Let it be said that LoSpace put that out to the universe today!
