“There are lots of lists of the best Android
applications. As the proud owner of a new Motorola Droid 2 and
in-house tech. support for my wife’s Droid Pro, though, I started

“Everyone uses devices in different ways. What works for me, may
not work for you. Here’s where I’m coming from: I use my smartphone
first as a phone and then as a way to receive information. I don’t
try to work on a phone–even the over-sized Droid X.

never worked for me. If, like many other people, though texting is
your life, I recommend you give chompSMS a try.”
