AT&T BackFlip or some other android? A One Nexus from Google?

Why to GET a Montorola BackFlip. And why to MOVE on to some other cellphone:

Reasons to get a Motorola BackFlip:
1) After my German Shepard pup chomped a hole in my Blackberry — and I needed a quick replacement — I got a Back Flip through AT&T. Since AT&T already is my carrier going from a Blackberry to the BackFlip was a snap. Pull out the SIM card and get the new phone working. Ah, little did I know what was in store for me…

2) The BackFlip has a large, easy to use key board. It “flips” out — hence it can be larger than a slide out key board such as Verizon’s android. Though I never figured out how to capitalize words I did find the keyboard easy to use. (On the Blackberry to capitalize all you have to do is hold the letter and it immediately becomes a capital. )

3) The BackFlip is an AT&T product. Yes that is a reason NOT to get it. Tying to contact New York? Forget AT&T as a carrier. I have a relative that spends considerable time in New York City. Well, AT&T readily “drops” phone calls. I lost 3 phone calls to New York in less than 10 minutes.

Reasons not to get a BackFlip through AT&T:

1) AT&T ptovides NO training to sales concerning the BackFlip. I was told that “next month” they would get some training. So — sales cannot help you concerning your questions. Not with any efficiency anyway.

2) AT&T put Yahoo not Google on the BackFlip as the default brouser. And all the fun things you can do through Google you cannot do with the BackFlip. For example, you can get to Google search — but not easily. It always defaults back to Yahoo. For what every reason — sheer stupidity! — At&T tried to cut Google out of the BackFlip market. I hope it boomerangs on AT&T.

3) I have a blog called Monterey Bay Forum. When I looked at how it was displayed on the BackFlip I decided either I need to change my blog or change my cell phone. I actually tried changing my blog — but I think it is far easier to change my cell phone than my blog. Which I will do.

3) It is not easy to change default settings. Because of visual difficulties I need, for example, larger fonts than provided on the BackFlip. So I went to the android market store to get a free application. But it does not “launch” on the BackFlip. I asked AT&T for help. As I said above, the sales people have no training on the BackFlip. They tried to help but with no success.

Enough said why to get and move on from the BackFlip. Move on to what? I’m going to try the One Nexus by Google. I like a fixed, metal key board which the One Nexus does not have. I know I like Google so on that score the phone should be a success.

Just guessing what I will do … I bet I use the One Nexus for less than a month and then I return it. Why? because I do want a keyboard such as the BackFlip provides. Maybe Balckberry will put out an android with a “flip out” metal keyboard. That would be my ideal. Is that possible? Can Blackberry move into the android market?
